1. STATIC TUBE
Install either the “PFX” or “PFX-R” static tube according to the provided “Static Tube Retrofit” instructions. Refer to the
appropriate installation method for your fan’s motor frame type.
FANS THAT ALREADY HAVE A REMOVABLE STATIC TUBE
If your fan already has a field-installed (removable) static tube, uninstall the static tube, bracket, and clamp. Replace
with the provided static tube marked “PFX-R.” Refer to the provided “Static Tube Retrofit” instructions for installation
details.
If your fan already has a factory-installed (non-removable) static tube, remove the junction box and cotter pin from
the bottom of the static tube, and then proceed to step 2.
Refer to the “Static Tube
Retrofit” instructions

4. STATIC TUBE ADAPTER AND LOCK NUT
If your fan already has a factory-installed (non-removable) static tube, screw only the lock nut onto the static tube.
For all other installations, screw the static tube adapter onto the static tube, and then install the adapter set screw.
Tighten the set screw, and then screw the lock nut onto the static tube adapter.

6. LED LIGHT PLATE AND BRACKET
Remove the eight screws, eight lock washers, round plate, and bracket from the top of the LED light. Set the screws
and washers aside in a location where they will not get lost. Screw the plate and bracket onto the static tube or
static tube adapter until snug. Make sure one set of holes in the plate weld nut aligns with the holes in the static tube
or static tube adapter.
Tighten until snug.
7. COTTER PIN AND LOCK NUT
Using needle-nose pliers, insert the cotter pin through the holes in the plate weld nut and static tube or static tube
adapter. Bend back the ends of the cotter pin to lock it in place, and then tighten the lock nut.

8. LED LIGHT WIRING
Route the DC wires from the power supply through the static tube. Depending on the wattage, the power supply will
have one cable with two wires or two cables with two wires. The LED light will also have one cable with two wires or
two cables with two wires. If necessary, trim the power supply cables to eliminate excess wiring.
Raise the LED light to the fan. Connect the power supply wires to the LED light wires of the same color. Connect each
pair of power supply wires (if applicable) to the same pair of LED light wires. Do NOT connect individual power
supply wires to dierent pairs of LED light wires.
LED light weight: 26.5 lb (12 kg)
Do NOT connect
individual power supply
wires to dierent pairs
of LED light wires.

9. PLATE HARDWARE
Carefully pull the power supply cable(s) up into the static tube from the top. Tuck the LED light cables and connectors
inside the LED light module. Tuck ONLY the LED light cables and connectors inside the LED light module. Do NOT
tuck the power supply cables into the light module.
Raise the LED light to the round plate at the bottom of the static tube until the screw holes on top of the light align
with the screw holes on the plate. Reinstall the eight socket head cap screws and lock washers into the top of the
plate.
