The NORDICTM HVLS Fan Series is a
230V/50Hz ‘Plug & Play’ solution. It is
the ideal choice for providing year-round
comfort in air circulation and de-strat-
ification applications. Featuring an
aerodynamic air blade design and a high
efficiency direct drive motor, the
NORDIC HVLS Fan Series delivers
maximum airflow at a fraction of the
operating cost of other HVLS fans. With
its universally designed ceiling mount it is
optimised for simple plug-and-play instal-
lations, making it the easiest HVLS fan to
install on the market.
NORDIC HVLS Series
INSTALLATION INFO:
If you cannot install the NORDICTM Fan using only the Standard Swivel mount, then you
can utilize one of the additional mounting options, as described in this manual.

1. Verify that the fan is to be installed in a location where the airblades will be a minimum of 3,0 meters above the finished floor with
a minimum of 1,2 meter of clearance to any obstructions.
2. If the building has a mezzanine or other elevated spaces that may be occupied by people, verify that no component of the fan can
be reached from the highest level or deck. The fan must be positioned so that the tips of the airblades are a minimum of 1,2 meter
away from the furthest point that a person could extend an appendage outward.
3. Check that the fan will not be mounted in a location near overhead doors or other building openings where gusts of wind may
occur. Fans should not be installed or operated in locations where wind is present.
4. If the building is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, verify that the placement of the fan will not interfere with correct sprinkler
operation and that the fan installation complies with all building codes.
5. Check to see if the intended placement of the fan is directly below any building lights or skylights. If possible, avoid installing fans
directly below a light source to prevent a strobing effect that can be caused by fan rotation.
6. For best performance, the fan must be installed with a two-fan diameter minimum clearance to radiant heaters and HVAC system
discharges or intakes.
7. BEFORE INSTALLATION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO VERIFY THE MOUNTING SURFACE WILL BEAR THE OPERATING WEIGHT
AND MAXIMUM TORQUE (TWISTING FORCE) OF THE TO-BE-INSTALLED NORDIC™ SYSTEM. IT IS THE SOLE RESPON-
SIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND FAN INSTALLATION METHOD ARE
ADEQUATE FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE NORDIC™ FAN.
MAX TORQUE PER NORDIC™ FAN SIZE
Fan size (meter) 1,8 2,4 3,1 3,7 4,3
Max. torque (Nm) 8,4 13,0 28,2 43,1 54,8
8. THE FIXING MEANS FOR THE ATTACHMENT TO THE CEILING SHALL BE FIXED WITH A SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO WITH-
STAND FOUR (4) TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE SPECIFIC NORDIC™ CEILING FAN (SEE ALSO TABLE BELOW).

9. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY, FAMILIAR WITH
LOCAL REGULATIONS AND EXPERIENCED WITH THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT.
Pre-installation checks
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the Nordic Fan Company or its
representative.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and stan-
dards.
4. DO NOT ALLOW WATER OR SOLVENTS TO ENTER THE MOTOR OR THE DRIVE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
MOTORS OR DRIVES BE SPRAYED WITH STEAM, WATER OR SOLVENTS.
5. It is highly recommended that an emergency disconnect switch is installed between each NORDIC™ fan and the electrical mains.
Ensure that such a switch is NOT located directly above air blades, so that it can be accessed at all times - even when fan is operating.

PREPARING UPPER MOUNT PLATE
First, attach the swivel mount to the
upper mount plate using countersunk
screws. The countersunk side is placed
in the designated hole on the upper
mount plate, facing downwards, to
maintain a flat surface of the upper
mount plate.
On the other side of the mount plate,
place the swivel mount, followed by
washers and finally locknuts on each
bolt.
Tighten the bolts, so the swivel mount
is locked tight to the upper mount
plate.
Now you can install the upper mount
plate on wood, concrete or steel
beams.

EXTRA MOunting options
For concrete mounting:
Using L-shaped shim plates as a tem-
plate, predrill 5mm holes in concrete
beam.
Bolt the L-shaped shim plates into pla-
ce using specified screws for concrete
mounting.
For wood mounting:
Attach L-shaped shim plates to wood
beam using specified screws for wood
mounting.
Note
Be sure bottom of shim plates are
flush or slightly below bottom of
beam to effectively connect to the
upper mount plate.
The upper mount plate can accom-
modate beam widths between 80 -
225 mm
When L-shaped shim plates are instal-
led, line up the upper mount plate and
bolt into L-shaped shim plates using
specified bolts, washers and locknuts
as seen on Figure A.
Tighten thoroughly and continue fan
installation as described in the Stan-
dard Installation Manual.

Placing the upper mount plate below
the I-beam. On each side of the
I-beam, place 1 shim plate and hook
1 clamp plate above I-beam flange, as
shown above and illustrated on Figure B.
Center the upper mount plate under
the steel beam. Tighten using bolts as
specified until upper mount plate and
clamp plates are snug against I-beam.
Ensure the clamp plates have maxi-
mum engagement on both sides and
tighten evenly.
Continue fan installation as described
in the Standard Installation Manual.
