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.

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.

Using the swivel mount, the NORDICTM FAN SYSTEM can be
mounted directly on to standard I and H steel beams, wood
beams and concrete beams. This is done using relevant bolts
and screws as shown on page 4 and explained on page 6.
For installations using the optional mounting brackets or guy
wires, please refer to the manual: ‘INSTALLATION MANUAL
- EXTRA MOUNTING OPTIONS’ which can also be accessed
from www.nordicfancompany.com/manuals
Before performing a standard installation, please check that
the mounting beam has sufficient width to accomodate the
Swivel Mount.
If this is not the case, the extra mounting options can be
used, as explained in the manual: ‘INSTALLATION MANUAL -
EXTRA MOUNTING OPTIONS’.

Standard Installation process
Attach the fan assembly to the swivel
mount via the drop tube using bolts
specied on page 4 and fasten securely.
Fasten the swivel mount to the moun-
ting surface using screws (concrete and
wood) or bolts (steel).
Tighten thoroughly.
Pull safety wire, power cord and CAT
5E cable through designated hole.
Using the swivel mount as a template,
drill required holes in the mounting
beam (wood beams do not require
pre-drilling of holes) using the drill bit
specied on page 4.
Please note the difference between
drill bits and designated screws for
concrete, wood or steel mounting.
Secure safety wire around mounting
beam.
IMPORTANT: follow steps on page 7.
Push the mount cover up and twist to
lock in place by the two small screws as
shown above.

NOTE: THE SAFETY WIRE MUST BE INSTALLED. THIS WILL PREVENT
THE FAN FROM FALLING IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THE MOUN-
TING SYSTEM SHOULD FAIL. THE FAN SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED
WITHOUT A PROPERLY INSTALLED SAFETY WIRE, AS THIS COULD
RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR ASSET DAMAGE. FAILURE TO
INSTALL SAFETY WIRE WILL RESULT IN VOIDING OF THE FAN WAR-
RANTY.

Mounting the air blades
Slide air blade onto the starsh hub.
Air blade view from above.
Ensure air blade holes are directly over
the starsh holes.
Air blade view from below
Secure air blade using screws, bolts
and tools as specied on page 4.

CORRECT POSITIONING OF THE SCREWS
NOTE: Before mounting the air blades, ensure the fan is vertically and horizontally level.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the fan without the air blades mounted, as this may damage the
motor and the motor drive.
NOTE: BE SURE TO NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE INNER AND OUTER SETS OF SCREWS FOR MOUN-
TING OF THE AIR BLADES.
CHECK: ROTATE THE FAN BY HAND TO ENSURE THAT
IT ROTATES FREELY AND DOES NOT COME INTO CON-
TACT WITH ANY OBSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT: IF AIR BLADES MUST BE REMOVED AND
RE-INSTALLED FOR ANY REASON, DO NOT RE-USE THE
SAME LOCKNUTS AS RE-USE INCREASES THE RISK OF
LOCKNUTS LOOSENING.

THE FAN IS NOW CONFIGURED AND
READY FOR USE
Before use, please perform an initial security check of the fan
on a secure distance by slowly increasing speed by pressing the
arrow “up” one speed level at a time. If any shaking, vibrations,
or similar appears, decrease speed immediately and make the
fan come to a complete stop. Go back and make sure all instal-
lation steps were performed correctly and make any necessary
adjustments. Perform a second check, and if any anormalities
persist, please turn off fan and contact your local support ofce.
ENJOY!
