INSTALLATION MANUAL
NORTHERN AIR®AMPLIFY
ENGLISH
AMPLIFY Models are the ideal choice for providing year-round comfort in air circulation and destratification
applications. Featuring an aerodynamic, extruded aluminum airfoil design and a high efficiency direct drive motor,
Amplify delivers maximum airflow at a fraction of the operating cost of other HVLS fans. And, with its universal
ceiling mount, the Amplify fan is the easiest 6 m and 7,3 m HVLS fan to install in the market!
IMPORTANT: AMPLIFY fans must be installed with the supplied CAT communication cable or thru Northern
Sky. Cable must be twisted pair, shielded. CAT 5/6. Cable must use shielded RJ45 connectors with a soldered
drain. Individual CAT 5/6 cable lengths must not exceed 60 m in order to prevent network communication
issues.
Required Tools
The following tools will be required to complete the
installation of every Amplify fan. Additional tools may be
required depending on the application and installation
location of the fan.
• Socket Wrench and 17mm Sockets
• 11 m, 13 mm, 14 mm and 19 mm Wrenches
• Adjustable Wrench
• Torque Wrench (up to 70 Nm)
• Torque Wrench (up to 160 Nm)
• Drill and 19 mm Drill Bit
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Level
• Impact Driver
• #2 Phillips Bit and Driver
• 10 mm Magnetic Nut Driver
• Magnetic Nut Driver Extension
NOTE: Amplify fans components can weigh 41 kg or
greater depending upon the fan size and accessories
that are provided. A suitable means for lifting the weight
of the fan to the mounting point, such as a scissor lift,
should be used for all Amplify fan installations.

General Information
DANGER
Always disconnect, lock, and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
CAUTION
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.
assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories while
in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for damage during storage. These suggestions are
provided solely as a convenience to the user.
Indoor - The ideal environment for the storage of
fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low
humidity atmosphere that is sealed to prevent the entry
of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained between -1° to 43°C (30° to 110°F).
Wide temperature swings may cause condensation
and “sweating” of metal parts. All accessories must be
stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
“sweating” of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach
room temperature. To dry parts and packages, use a
portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture build
up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and
to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 90 mm (3-1/2 in.)
off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit
air circulation and space for inspection.
Inspection and Maintenance During Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given to
touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may
require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint
free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface
with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not
destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe
clean with Tectyl®506 or the equivalent. For hard to
reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider
using Tectyl®511M Rust Preventive, WD-40®or the
equivalent.
Removing from Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in
their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment
goes into operation.

Pre-Installation Checks
IMPORTANT: Consult all applicable national and local
codes to ensure that all necessary code requirements
are met. It is the sole responsibility of the installer to
ensure compliance with applicable codes.
Prior to installing the fan, perform each of the following
checks:
1. Verify that fan components are undamaged.
Do not install or operate any damaged fan
components, fans, or fan accessories. Failure to
comply with this instruction may result in property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
2. Verify that the fan is to be installed in a location
where the airfoils will be a minimum of 3 m.
above the finished floor with a minimum of 1
m. of horizontal and vertical clearance to any
obstructions.
3. Verify that the fan is to be installed in a location
where the center of the fan is a minimum of 1.5 fan
diameters away from building walls and corners.
4. For best performance, the fan must be installed
with a two fan diameter minimum clearance to
radiant heaters and HVAC system discharges or
intakes.
5. Check that the fan will not be mounted in a
location near overhead doors or other building
openings where gusts of wind may occur. Fan
should not be installed or operated in locations
where wind is present.
6. 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 national,
state and local codes. Fan must also be interlocked
to shut down upon receiving a waterflow signal
from the building’s alarm system.
7. Check to see if the intended placement of the fan
is directly below any building lights or skylights. If
possible, avoid installing fan directly below a light
source to prevent a strobing effect that can be
caused by fan rotation.
8. 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 airfoils are a minimum of 1
m away from the furthest point that a person could
reach or otherwise come in contact, to prevent
injury.
9. If the fan is to be mounted in an area where
materials or equipment may be elevated into its
path, ensure that the floor is marked or painted
to alert personnel of the overhead location of the
fan(s).
10. Before installation, it is important to verify that the
mounting surface will bear the operating weight
and maximum torque (twisting force) of the unit. 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
fan.

1. Set dipswitch 2 as shown below. Dipswitch 2 is
used to set parameters that improve network
function and will need to be adjusted for all fans in
the network except for the first fan.
Position 1 – Off
Position 2 – Off
Position 3 – Off
2. Adjust positions 1 – 5 on dipswitch 3 so that each
successive fan has a unique Modbus address. A
table with all possible Modbus addresses is shown
to the right.
IMPORTANT: Positions 6 - 8 are used to set parameters
needed for fan operation and should not be adjusted.
Default settings are as follows:
Position 6 – On
Position 7 – Off
Position 8 – Off
NOTE: It is good practice to use successive Modbus
addresses for networked fans, but this is not necessary
for proper functioning of the network.
3. On the low voltage wiring terminal strip, remove
the 24V (white-brown) wire and cap with a wire
nut or heat shrink. When complete, verify that the
low voltage wiring terminal strip on the VFD circuit
board is wired as shown in the diagram and picture
(All Remaining Fans).
4. Reinstall the black plastic cover that was previously
set aside on the front of the VFD.

Pre-Start-Up Checks
1. Disconnect and lock-out all power switches to fan.
2. Check all fasteners on the ceiling mount, mounting
kit, blades, VFD, motor and accessories for
tightness.
3. Rotate the fan impeller by hand to ensure that it
rotates freely and does not come into contact with
any obstructions.
4. Check all electrical connections for proper
attachment.
5. Verify that the fan is hanging so that the airfoils
and downtube are level and the fan is plumb to
the floor. Adjust guy wire tension as necessary (if
applicable).
Fan Operation
IMPORTANT: If unusual vibration or oscillating
movement is observed during fan operation,
immediately discontinue use of the fan and contact the
manufacturer or a suitably qualified maintenance/repair
technician.
1. When the fan is started, observe the operation
and check for any unusual noise, vibration or
overheating. Refer to the Troubleshooting section
of this manual if a problem develops.
2. With the system in full operation, measure current
input to the VFD and compare with the FLA ratings
in the table above to determine if the motor/VFD
system is operating under safe load conditions.
3. Keep approaches to fan clean and free from
obstruction.
Fan Inspection
DANGER
Disconnect and secure to the ‘OFF’ position all
electrical power to the fan prior to inspection or
servicing. Failure to comply with this safety precaution
could result in serious injury or death.
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first
30 minute and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory
operation.
• 30 Minute Interval - Check all fasteners for
tightness. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
• 24 Hour Interval - Inspect all fan components.
Check all fasteners, airfoil retaining ring, the safety
cable, and guy wires (if applicable). Adjust and
tighten as necessary.
Fan Maintenance
NOTE: Installation and maintenance are to be
performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar
with local codes and regulations and have experience
with this type of equipment.
Once the fan has been put into operation, a periodic
maintenance program should be set up to ensure
reliable fan performance. A proper maintenance
program will help deliver years of dependable service.
Items to be included in this program are as follows:
1. Verify that all fasteners are tight and properly
torqued.
2. Verify that all of the fan’s safety systems – safety
cable, airfoil retaining ring, and guy wires (if
applicable) are properly installed. Inspect for
signs of damage or failure. Safety cable and guy
wire tension should also be checked. Safety cable
should be wrapped around the building structure
leaving as little slack as possible. Guy wires
should be under enough tension to prevent any
lateral movement of the motor and downtube (if
applicable).
3. Inspect the fan for signs of fatigue, corrosion, or
wear.
4. Impellers require little attention when moving
clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may
accumulate causing imbalance. When this occurs,
clean the impeller and other fan components to
ensure smooth and safe operation. Remove any
accumulated dust and dirt using hot water or mild
cleaning solutions. Harsh chemicals should not
be used to clean the fan as they may damage the
fan’s finish or motor.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow water or solvents to enter
the motor or VFD. Under no circumstances should
motors or VFDs be sprayed with steam, water or
solvents.
5. Motor maintenance is generally limited to
cleaning. Limit cleaning to exterior surfaces only.
Removing dust buildup on motor housing ensures
proper motor cooling.
6. Prior to restarting unit, check all fasteners for
tightness each time maintenance checks are
performed.
