NORDICCO®HVLS Series
INSTALLATION INFO:
If you cannot install the NORDICCO® Fan using only the Standard Swivel mount, then you
can utilize one of the additional mounting options, as described in this manual.
The NORDICCO® HVLS Fan Series is a 230V/50Hz
‘Plug & Play’ solution. It is the ideal choice for provid-
ing 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 NORDICCO®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.

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 Nordicco 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 NORDICCO® 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.
General Safety Information
WARNING
IMPORTANT: Consult all applicable rule and codes to ensure that all necessary requirements are met. It is the sole responsibil-
ity of the installer to ensure compliance with applicable codes.
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 NORDICCO 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 NORDICCO® FAN.
MAX TORQUE PER NORDICCO®FAN SIZE
Fan size (meter) 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0
Max. torque (Nm) 9,0 28 45 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 NORDICCO®CEILING FAN (SEE ALSO TABLE BELOW).

Mounting brackets for steel beams
Place the brackets on each side of the steel
beam and push the bolts through the 2
designated holes.
NOTE - IF you bought an acoustic padding
sheet (extra equipment), place this inside
the top of the brackets, before tightening
the bolts on both sides of the brackets.
Once the bolts are tightened on each side of
the brackets, you are ready to mount the sad-
dle. Attach the saddle using bolts and locknuts
from the standard fan assembly pack.
Tighten thoroughly and continue the instal-
lation process as described in the Standard
Installation Manual.

BOLTS
Place the angle brackets on both sides of
the wood or concrete beam. Make sure
they are placed so that the bottom of the
angle plates lines up with the bottom of
the beam.
Secure the angle brackets on each side of
the beam using 6 of the specified screws/
bolts for wood/concrete respectively.
Note: Depending on the width of the
beam, you will use the middle or the outer
holes when attaching the steel plate.
Before attaching the steel plate, place 4
countersunk bolts in the 4 middle holes
pointing downwards. These bolts will be
used to attach the saddle mount in the next
step.
Now place the steel plate below the angle
brackets. Using the inner or outer holes of
the steel plate (whichever fits best), push
the bolts for steel plate up through the
holes and secure on the upper side of the
angle brackets using washers and locknuts.
Once the steel plate is securely fastened,
you are ready to attach the saddle mount
using the 4 bolts pointing downwards.
Secure the saddle using the 4 specified
locknuts.
Now continue the installation as described
in the Standard Installation Manual.

Place the two brackets on top of the beam in question, with the
open ends facing downwards. On the lower side of the beam,
fasten the steel plates, using locknuts as pictured above.
Once the brackets are tightly secured around the beam, using the
steel plates, you are ready to proceed the installation.
Mount the saddle to the 2 steel plates using the 4 bolts and lock
washers, as pictured above.
Now proceed with the installation as explained in the Standard
Installation Manual.

INSTALLATION PROCESS

Slide the mounting plate
down on the drop tube.
Place the extension tube
in the drop tube. Fasten
the extension tube using a
bolt from the Standard Fan
Assembly pack.
Pull up the mounting plate
so it is aligned with the bot-
tom holes in drop tube.
Attach the mounting plate
using the M10x70 bolt
through the lowest possible
hole on the drop tube.
Tighten the locknut and
bolt thoroughly. Once the
mounting plate is attached to
the drop tube, you are ready
to attach the steel wires to
the four curved holes in the
mounting plate. Cut the wire
into 4 pieces.
Turn turnbuckles until they are
maximum length. Push the end of the
steel wire through a wire clamp and a
wire turnbuckle. Pull it back through
the wire clamp and tighten.
Attach a snap hook to the other end
of the turnbuckle. Attach to a hole in
the mounting plate. Repeat for all 4
holes in the mounting plate.
Push the opposite end of the steel wire
through a wire clamp and an eyehook,
then pull the wire back through the
same wire clamp.
Fasten the eye hooks to the ceiling, so
the length fits with the wires (note: in
wood no plugs are needed, in concrete
use enclosed plugs). Cut excess wire
off. Tighten the wire clamp.
Tighten the turnbuckle until the wire is
tight. Lock the turnbuckle on both sides
using the locknut. Repeat for all 4 wires.
ONCE THE WIRE SET IS
INSTALLED - BE SURE TO
CHECK THE FAN IS LEVEL
