Atlas fan company DIANE User manual

DIANE CEILING FAN
GENERAL SAFETY:
• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes, and must be carried out only by a
qualified and licensed electrical contractor.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit
breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you can not lock the circuit breakers in the off
position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• To reduce the risk of in ury to persons, install the fan so the blades are at least 2.1m (preferably
2.3m) from the floor.
• To reduce the risk of personal in ury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building
according to these instructions and use only the hardware supplied.
• To reduce the risk of personal in ury, do not bend the blade attachment system when installing, balancing, or
cleaning the fan.
• NEVER insert foreign ob ects between rotating blades or in the space surrounding oscillating fan unit.
• Be sure to read this manual carefully before beginning installation and save these instructions for later
reference or warranty assistance.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young
children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CONTENTS:

d) Metal blades with decorative cages or Solid timber
blades
e) Wall control with face plate
f) Allen key tool
g) Mounting hardware:

CHOOSING AND PREPARING A SUITABLE INSTALLATION SITE:
•Ensure the site you select will not allow any ob ect to come into contact with the rotating blades
or the entire rotating fan unit.
•The fan blades must be at least 2.1m above the floor, preferably 2.3m.
•There must be no obstructions to airflow, such as wall or posts within 0.6m of the fan blades.
•The fan must be able to be installed directly onto a oist, or support brace that will hold the full
weight of the ceiling fan.
MOUNTING /INSTALLATION OF THE FAN:
1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cover from
the canopy by turning the cover counter clockwise.
(Refer figure 5)
2. Remove the hanger bracket from the canopy by
loosening the two screws on the bottom of the
hanging bracket. Turn the canopy counter clockwise
and remove. (Refer figure 5)
3. Secure the hanging bracket to the ceiling, ensuring it
is fixed directly onto a oist, or support brace that
will hold the full weight of the ceiling fan. (Refer
figure 6)
4. Remove hanger ball from the downrod assembly by
loosening the set screws, removing the cross pin and
slide the ball off the rod. (Refer figure 7)
5. For Metal Blades With Decorative Cage:
Remove protective sleeve from the motor shaft, and
attach the back side of the decorative cage, then
attach the blade. Handle the blades carefully
otherwise you can bend the blade irons which will
cause the fan to vibrate when in operation.
IMPORTANT: The set screw in the lade hu MUST
e counter sunk into the ore hole on the flattened
side of the motor shaft, or the lades may
disengage from the motor shaft during operation.
For Timber Blades
Do NOT attach the blades yet, the blades should be
attached as the last step (Refer step 9.
6. Loosen the two set screws from the top coupling of
the motor assembly (Refer figure 8)
7. Carefully feed the fan wires through the downrod
and pull them taut. Thread the downrod into the
coupling then tighten the set screws using the Allen
key supplied. (Refer figure 8)
WARNING: To avoid possi le electrical shock, efore installing your fan, disconnect the power y
turning off the circuit reakers to the outlet ox and associated wall switch location. If you can not
lock the circuit reakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.

MOUNTING /INSTALLATION OF THE FAN (Continued):
8. Carefully reinstall the hanger ball onto the
downrod ensuring that the cross pin is in the
correct position, the set screw on hanger ball is
tight and the wires are not twisted
9. Lift the motor assembly into position and place
the hanger ball into the hanging bracket. Rotate
the downrod until the check tab has dropped
into the registration slot, and the downrod and
ball assembly seat firmly. NB: The downrod and
ball assembly should NOT rotate if this is done
correctly.
10. For Timber Blades
Remove protective sleeve from the motor shaft
and attach the timber blades. IMPORTANT: The
set screw in the lade hu MUST e counter
sunk into the ore hole on the flattened side of
the motor shaft, or the lades may disengage
from the motor shaft during operation.
11. An additional safety support is provided to
prevent the fan from falling. Secure the safety
cable directly to the oist or support brace with
a screw and washer. (Refer figure 9)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
WARNING: The power should have already een
disconnected, check again efore making any
wiring connections.
1. Set the knob on the wall control to the ‘0’ (off) position.
2. Make the connections with reference to Figure 10

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure the tab at the bottom of the hanging
bracket is properly seated with the groove in the
hanger ball. Failure to properly seat the hanging ball
could cause damage to wiring and the fan.
2. Slide the canopy up to the ceiling and over the two
screws on the hanging bracket. Rotate the canopy
clockwise and tighten the two screws to secure.
3. Slide the canopy cover over the two screws and
rotate clockwise until tight. You may need to ad ust
the canopy screws as necessary until the canopy and
canopy cover are snug.
NB: The canopy screws must be tightly secured to
maintain earthing continuity.
CARE OF AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FAN:
•Check hardware every 6 months: Because of the fans mechanical movement, some
connections may become loose over time. Check the support connections, brackets and
blade attachments twice a year to make sure they are secure. It is NOT necessary to remove
the fan from the ceiling .
•Clean your fan periodically: Cleaning will help maintain your new fans appearance over the
years. Use ONLY a lightly water moistened, lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimise discolouration or tarnishing. Do NOT let
rain or running water to come into contact with the fan, as this could damage the motors of
the fan, timber blades, or possibly cause an electric shock.
•There is no need to oil the fan: The motors of your fan have permanently lubricated
bearings, so no additional lubrication is required.
•Fan makes a vi ration noise: Check to ensure that all screws are tight, especially the
connection of the fan cages to the motor face plate.
•Fan actually vi rates: Uninstall and reinstall the blades. Make sure that the fan heads set
screw is counter sunk into the bore hole in the flat part of the motor shaft. (Refer Step 5 &
10 in section “Mounting/Installation of the Fan”) Be careful that the blade brackets
themselves are not bent in the process. Do not operate the fan if it continues to vibrate,
contact the Atlas warranty line if reinstallation of the blades does not resolve the problem.
•Fan oscillation is irregular or not smooth: The decorative motor mounts are meant to
swivel with the oscillation of the fan. This movement is important! If the oscillation is
irregular and not smooth, it could be that your decorative knobs are too tight, touching the
yoke and not permitting the oscillation of the motor to operate properly. Loosen the knobs
slightly so that the knob is not touching the yoke assembly. As a rule of thumb, you should
have about 1mm clearance between the knob and the yoke assembly. Do NOT loosen the
knob too much, doing so will cause it to fall off during operation of the fan.
