The Canarm Cyclone fan is the first fan designed especially for the dairy industry and cooling cows. It
transfers electrical energy into air energy and focuses the air in a controlled pattern.
It is a recirculation fan that is designed to move a large volume of air and toprovide significant airspeed in the
occupied zones of dairy barns or other livestock buildings (See figures 1).
The Cyclone Plus is one of the most innovative and efficient recirculation fans available on the market today.
Its main benefits are:
It moves a large volume of air (86,000cfm);
It creates vertical wind for cooling at floor level;
It can run at low speed during colder times to de-stratify the air in your building.
It does all of these applications efficiently and quietly.
The cyclone can be used as a standalone ventilation system or to improve your existing ventilation. Many cyclones
can be installed in the building to create significant air movement.
It is recommended to read this manual before installing the new system and you might keep it into your files
because it could also be handy during and after the installation.

your animals.
Typically, designs for livestock buildings are based on effective cyclones cooling areas as described in figure 2.
The installation is by design made simple for skilled tradesmen.
If you are unsure about this, please call our number for technical support 1-800-260-5314.
We recommend you hire licensed and insured contractors toinstall this equipment.
It is up to you as the owner to ensure that your building is made ready for the system.

1.4 PRODUCTS RECEPTION
We recommend you to receive this system in a coordinated and verified manner, in order to avoid lost time due
to misplaced equipment.
The Cyclone is shipped in one skid.
Wood blocks between all propellers
and housing
Figure 3ĀPacking of the Cyclone Plus
The main units are:
1. Cyclone Plus: fan, motor, belts, sheaves, and framing are shipped as one piece and no further assembly is
required.
Package weight is 450 lbs;
Weight 375 lbs without packaging and skid;
Skid sizes are roughly 38W  H.
2. The deflectors, mounting hardware and deflector mounting brackets are shipped with the fan and require
assembly.
3. Optional mounting units (purchased separately):
a. Ceiling Hung Unit (Package weight is 50 lbs);
b. Wall or Post Mounting Unit (#FGCY-MNTKIT) (Package weight is 200 lbs);
c. 30deg Angle Union for one direction airflow.
IMPORTANT NOTE: there is a piece of wood at the end of each propeller. They have to stay in place until the end
of the installation in order to provide the correct gap between the propellers and the housing.

1.5 OPTIONAL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS
The Cyclone motor may be single phase or 3 phases according to your order.
Most 3 phase motors are dual Voltage, for most of these motors, Low Voltage means 230Vac and High
Voltage means 460Vac.
We strongly suggest you to install a Variable Speed Drive (VFD) if it is a 3 phase type, in order to achieve the
full performance of the Cyclone fan.
The VFD will allow you to run your fan manually or automatically (when connected toa thermostat) from
low speed (15Hz for 60rpm) to high speed (60Hz for 245rpm).
Visit Canarm.com to view our full offering of controls.
**460VAC drives are also available on demand and require the addition of line reactors.
You can also add one of our temperature controls that can be wired to the VFD and change the speeds based on
temperature, time or humidity.
Visit Canarm.com or call our technical support line 1-800-260-5314 for a list of Canarm approved controls.
It is important that controls are sized properly for the amp loading of the fan.
ON ORDERING, CUSTOMER MUST SPECIFY THE TYPE OF POWER SUPPLY AVAILABLE INTO THE FARM IN ORDER
TO GET THE GOOD MODEL OF DRIVE.
WIRING MUST BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN, ACCORDING TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.

2OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 PREPARING TO INSTALL THE FAN
Review this entire manual with the installation team and share information with necessary personnel.
Physically confirm the arrangements and locations of the system cyclones and controls. Verify your order
documents for the system configuration.
There are several components that can be assembled on the floor for easier cyclone system installations.
Consult your construction professionals.
Consult with your professional construction team and review this installation.
Review and prepare your electrical and structural building components.
Plan to receive and store the system components.
Check inside the freight and inspect it while the driver is present. Report any damages to the driver and your
sales representative.
Store the freight in a location that has proper access for material handling and that will keep it in good
condition; avoid storing the material in corridors where tractors or other vehicles can cause damage.
All the floor work should be done in a dedicated workspace to begin the installation.
The fans have heavy eye loops for handling and hanging. The Cyclone Plus is heavy and awkward to handle.
Please use caution and maximum safety when handling.
The optional variable frequency drive (VFD) shall be resilient mounted and installed within a distance of 20 feet
from the fan.
The VFD shall be positioned upright to allow airflow out both sides of the heat sink.
The VFD motor wiring and terminations has to be done by licensed electricians.
In high moisture applications a waterproof connector and drip loop in the wire should be used.
Check sheaves and belts for alignment and tension in case they have moved during the shipping. They should
be adjusted if required.
The bearings should be inspected and greased as required. We recommend yearly greasing and maintenance.
Grease nipple is located on the back of the impeller shaft.
Inspect for defects or missing parts. Discrepancies shall be reported to the sales department.

Install the top of the fan housing at more than 4 feet to the ceiling/roof deck.
Install the bottom of the fan shutter higher than 7feet above the ground.
Do not install fans where they may affect the performance of emergency sprinkler systems.
3.2.2 STEP 2 INSTALL CYCLONE DEFLECTORS
The outside deflector brackets and deflectors should be installed after the fan is securely mounted in order
to prevent damage to the deflectors.
If the fan is horizontal, the deflectors should be mounted to throw the air in both fan sides (see Figure 4).
If the fan is in angle, the deflectors should be mounted in the same direction in order to throw the air
horizontal (see figure 5).
