IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This guide is intended to provide a basic overview for integrating a SmartSense with a Big Ass
Fan. Consult the Installation Guide included with the fan for additional installation and operation instructions.
WARNING: Disconnect fan and controller from power supply before installing the SmartSense.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician! Incorrect
assembly can cause electric shock or damage the motor and the controller! Hazard of electrical shock!
WARNING: Installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2011, and all
local codes. The procedures and techniques outlined in this manual are merely a guide for proper installation.
Code compliance is your responsibility! Failure to comply with these codes could result in personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING: The fan controllers contain high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of
mains supply. Before working on the fan controller, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs at the
fan controller’s disconnect (L1, L2/N, L3). Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Note: Darkened display LEDs are not an indication of
safe voltage levels.
WARNING: When service or replacement of a fan component requires the removal or disconnection of a safety
device, the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
CAUTION: The Big Ass Fans product warranty will not cover equipment damage or failure that is caused by
improper installation.
ATTENTION: If installing the fan in the United States, the fan must be installed per the following National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines:
• The fan must be centered approximately between four adjacent sprinklers.
• The vertical distance from the fan to the sprinkler deflector must be at least 3 ft (91.4 cm).
• The fan must be interlocked to shut down immediately upon receiving a waterflow signal from the alarm
system.

SMARTSENSE OVERVIEW
The SmartSense wall control relies on air temperature readings at the locations of the wall controller and upper
temperature sensor. Proper mounting locations are essential to the successful adjustment of the room temperature.
Refer to the diagram and guidelines below.
Upper Temperature Sensor
mounting location
Wall Controller mounting
location
The upper temperature sensor must be mounted in the upper portion of the zone in order to obtain an accurate
temperature reading at the ceiling level.
The wall controller must be mounted in the lower portion of the zone to obtain an accurate reading at the floor
level.
Install the wall controller and upper temperature sensor on flat surfaces that are free from vibration and where there
is adequate distance from foreign objects or moving equipment. The wall controller should be readily accessible.
Do not mount the wall controller or upper temperature sensor in the following locations:
• Adjacent to or above radiant heaters
• Near HVAC ventilation intakes or exhausts
• On poorly insulated exterior walls
• In roof decking
• Near radiant heat sources
• In an area outside of the fan zone

MOUNTING SMARTSENSE
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
CAUTION: The wall controller and upper temperature sensor contain sensitive electronic PCBs. Use
extreme care when handling! ESD precautions recommended.
Mount the upper temperature sensor (to I-Beam)
ATTENTION
Do not lose the rubber grommet during installation.
1. Route power wiring to the mounting location.
2. Loosen the (4) screws and remove the front cover.
3. Insert pan head screw (a) through the mounting hole and secure i-beam clamp (b) to the back of the sensor.
4. Mount the upper temperature sensor to the i-beam as shown. Tighten i-beam clamp until securely mounted.
Before reattaching the front cover, complete the wiring. See "Electrical Installation" for details and wiring diagrams.
Note: The upper temperature sensor can be mounted in any orientation.

Mount the wall controller
CAUTION: The wall controller and upper temperature sensor contain sensitive electronic PCBs. Use
extreme care when handling! ESD precautions recommended.
The SmartSense wall control incorporates an internal temperature sensor and should be mounted within the same
zone as the upper temperature sensor. The wall controller can be mounted to a standard 2 in. x 4 in. (5.08 cm x
10.16 cm) electrical switch box or surface-mounted on a wall or column. It does not have to be located adjacent to
the fan controller; each controller is independently wired to the fan. Note: A junction box is not supplied with the
wall controller.
To install the wall controller:
1. Route power wiring to the mounting location.
2. Attach the mounting plate to the junction box in the wall with the two (2) provided 6-32 x 7/8” Phillips screws.
3. Route the wall controller power cord through the opening in the center of the mounting plate. Guide the
power cord down the bottom of the mounting plate in the slot provided.
4. Rest the wall controller in the wall controller cover, and then secure the controller cover to the mounting plate
with the four (4) provided 6-32 x 3/8” Phillips screws as shown below.
Mounting Hardware:
