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-stratification 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 installations, 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 safe distance 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) 2,0 2,5 3,0 3,5 4,0 4,5 5,0
Max. torque (Nm) 9,0 13,5 28 39,5 45 55,5 64
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 qualied 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 mounting
surface using screws (concrete and wood)
or bolts (steel). Tighten thoroughly.
Pull safety wire, power cable, re wire
and CAT 5E cable through designated
hole.
Line up the holes and tighten bolts
thoroughly.
If needed, attach one or two Extension
Tubes to the Drop Tube using the Alu
Extension connectors.
Pull power cord, re cable, safety wire,
CAT5e cable through the Extension Tube.
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.
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 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.
CHECK: ROTATE THE FAN BY HAND TO ENSURE THAT IT ROTATES FREELY AND DOES NOT COME INTO
CONTACT WITH ANY OBSTRUCTIONS.

FIRE ALARM RELAY INSTALLATION

OPTIONAL FIRE ALARM RELAY
INSTALLATION
Note: This section is only applicable in
buildings equipped with a re suppres-
sion system. For buildings without a
re suppression system, simply leave
the re cable untouched in the drop-
tube.
Important: The re alarm relay should
only be installed by qualied personnel
familiar with the operation of building
re suppression systems. It is the sole
responsibility of the installer to ensure
correct operation of the re alarm relay
in the event of re emergency in the
building.
Strip the loose wires and wire them to a
normally-closed potential free relay on the
re alarm emergency stop landing point
and the building’s re suppression system
using the wiring diagram below:

THE FAN IS NOW READY FOR USE - ENJOY!
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.
