PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK
1. Make sure that the ceiling fan is installed in a location where the blades are at least 3.0 meters above
floor level and at a safe distance from any obstacles.
2. If the building has a mezzanine or other elevated area where people may be present, ensure that no
components of the ceiling fan can be reached from the highest level or deck. The ceiling fan must be
positioned so that the tips of the blades are at least 1.2 meters away from the furthest point where a
person could extend an object outward.
3. MAKE SURE THE CEILING FAN IS NOT INSTALLED NEAR OVERHEAD DOORS OR OTHER BUILDING
OPENINGS WHERE GUSTS OF WIND MAY OCCUR. THE FAN SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED OR
OPERATED IN PLACES 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 installation of the fan complies with all building
codes.
5. Check whether the intended placement of the fan is directly under lamps or skylights. If possible, avoid
installing fans below a light source to prevent a stroboscopic effect that can be caused by the fan’s
rotation.
6. To achieve the best possible performance, the fan must be installed with a minimum clearance
distance of two fan diameters to the nearest radiant heaters and HVAC system discharges (outlets)
or intakes (inlets).
7. BEFORE INSTALLATION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO VERIFY THAT THE MOUNTING SURFACE CAN BEAR
THE OPERATING WEIGHT AND MAXIMUM TORQUE (ROTATING FORCE) OF THE NORDICCO®FANS
THAT WILL BE INSTALLED. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT
THE MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND FAN INSTALLATION METHOD ARE ADEQUATE FOR SAFE
OPERATION OF THE NORDICCO®FAN.

FIRE PRECAUTIONS
BEST PRACTICE IN RELATION TO FIRE AND FIRE HAZARDS
Since the installation and use of HVLS fans are not regulated by any official legislation or
building regulations in relation to fire protection in Denmark, NORDICCO A/S and DBI (The
Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology) have prepared this guide to ensure optimal
installation of HVLS fans. DBI has assessed that NORDICCO®HVLS fans can be installed without
compromising fire safety. However, it should be noted that the smaller the rotor diameter of the
HVLS fan, the lower the risk of a fire spreading. The risk of fire spreading also depends on the
location of the individual HVLS fan. Three (3) scenarios are described below, where it is relevant
to assess the early detection of an incipient fire. In case of doubt, a competent advisor should be
consulted for an assessment of the specific situation.
Scenario 1: NORDICCO®HVLS fans installed in a room without any fire protection systems.
Generally, HVLS fans can be installed without any restrictions, but the following points
should be considered:
1. The HVLS fans should be installed so that they can be easily disconnected – for example
via a control panel, emergency stop button or safety switch mounted visibly at exits or
located at strategic locations in the room.
2. A vertical respecting distance of at least 0.5 meters from combustible / flammable storage
should be kept, to ensure that any fire spread is reduced.
3. HVLS fans should be installed as far from storage (e.g. storage shelves) as possible. When
installing in shelved storage sections, fans should be installed above walking aisle and not
over actual storage racks.
Scenario 2: NORDICCO® HVLS fans installed in a room, where an Automatic Fire Alarm
system is installed. In addition to DBI's normal guidelines for Automatic Fire Alarm
systems, the following points are also relevant:
1. The HVLS fans must stop when the Automatic Fire Alarm system detects a fire and
preferably do so even before a fire is detected. This can be achieved via the built-in "fire
alarm cable" or by using manual stop options, as indicated in scenario 1.
2. For systems with flame detectors, the location of the HVLS fans should be assessed in
relation to the flame detectors’ location. There are examples of ceiling fans causing
reflections that are mistaken for light from a flame, thereby giving an unintended alarm.
Flame detectors are typically used in rooms with high ceilings and in atriums.
3. The HVLS fans must not be installed in the line of sight of a linear smoke detector, as this
may cause false alarms to trigger on the Automatic Fire Alarm system. A linear smoke
detector uses invisible beams of ultraviolet and infra-red light. The light is either received
or reflected on an opposing wall. The Automatic Fire Alarm system goes into fault mode if
the light beam is interrupted.
4. Where point smoke detectors are installed, several points must be considered:
a) The velocity of the airflow from the HVLS fan must not exceed 0.5 m/sec. This value
corresponds to the value in DBI guideline 232 for airflows from ventilation systems.
b) A respecting distance of at least 0.5 meters must be maintained from point smoke detectors to
the HVLS fan blades. In case of doubt about the location of the HVLS fans in rooms where
Automatic Fire Alarm systems are installed, an approved installation company should
assess the specific case. The installation company must be approved to project installation
designs that follow the guidelines according to which the actual Automatic Fire Alarm system
is installed.

10
Scenario 3: NORDICCO®HVLS fans installed in a room where a fire sprinkler system is
installed. HVLS fans can be installed in such rooms, but it must be taken into account that
the sprinkler system must be able to be activated by a fire in the room. The items listed in
scenario 1 should be followed, in addition to the following points, which are also relevant
and recommended by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association):
1. The largest HVLS fan diameter should not exceed 8 meters.
2. The HVLS fans should be centred between four sprinkler heads.
3. The distance between the HVLS fans and the sprinkler heads should be at least 0.9
meters, so as not to disrupt sprinkler system activation.
4. HVLS fans should be connected to the Automatic Fire Alarm system (if installed in the
room) and the sprinkler system control and indication equipment, so that the HVLS fans
shut down when a fire is detected.
If in doubt about the location of HVLS fans in rooms where sprinkler systems are installed, an
approved installation company should assess the specific case. The installation company must be
approved to produce installation designs that follow the guidelines according to which the actual
sprinkler system is installed.
