FAN SPACING, PLACEMENT, & CLEARANCE
Fans should be mounted such that the blades are a minimum of 10 feet above the floor. The ideal height
is 20 to 25 feet. Also, ensure that the fan blades have a clearance equal to 15% of the fan’s diameter in all
directions.
Care should be taken when installing the fan around a fire sprinkler system. The VFD is equipped with the
ability to connect to a fire suppression system – stopping the fans in case of a fire. However, it is the
responsibility of the installer to read and comply with all local codes and regulations.
MAINTENANCE
Prior to performing any maintenance on the fan, it MUST be disconnected from the power source
by means of the separate lockable disconnect (provided).
VFD Box – Clean heat dissipating fins on the back of the box periodically.
Gearbox – Periodic maintenance will ensure your fan remains operational for its intended life. While
Patterson recommends the end-user check and change the gearbox oil annually, failure to do so will not void
any warranties. Oil type used is Chevron® Delo Gear ESI 85W-140. Contact Patterson at [phone] for
availability.
Hub Grease – Hub should be inspected yearly to ensure proper lubrication. Grease type is Chevron Delo
HD Moly 5%. There are two grease fittings, an upper and lower. Add grease as needed, filling each area
slowly until grease passes through the upper seal.
Mounting Hardware – All nuts and bolts related to mounting of the fan unit should be checked for tightness
annually. In addition, guy wires need to be inspected to ensure they remain taut and show no signs of
fraying.
Blades – Blades can be occasionally wiped down with a damp cloth. A mild detergent can also be used if
desired.

STEP 2 - ATTACH FAN ASSEMBLY TO MOUNTING BRACKET
1) Using a scissor lift, raise
the fan assembly and
guide the hangers onto
the top bolt of the
mounting bracket (see
Image 7). If using a down
rod, bolt the down rod to
the mounting bracket first
and place the top bolts on
the lower section of the
down rod to guide the
hangers onto.
2) Add the final four bolts
through the mounting
bracket (or lower down
rod section) and secure
the fan as shown in Image

ft-lbs.
STEP 3 - ATTACH VFD
TO FAN
1) Using the hardware packet provided,
attach the VFD to the side of the
frame with the VFD brackets. A
properly installed VFD is shown in
Image 9 (I-beam mount) or Image 10
(mount with spanning structure).
INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE: Cus-
tomers may request that the VFD NOT be
mounted on the fan so that it can be
accessed. It is important to emphasize that
after installation, there is no reason to get to
the drive. ALL of the information, resets,
error codes and parameters are accessed
from the remote keypad only. If the customer
insists, Belden 29522C Multi-Conductor
600V VFD cable should be used. Failure to
use proper VFD cable may result in opera-
tional issues with the drive or fan and can
shorten life expectancy.

STEP 5 - INSTALL GUY WIRES
Note: For maximum stability, the angle formed between the guy wire and the ceiling should be less
than 45 degrees.
Note: This step is required. Failure to install the guy wires properly may void
the manufacturer’s warranty AND become a safety hazard.
The following steps should be performed with the aid
of a scissor lift.
1) Attach the looped end of the guy wire to the
turnbuckle located on the fan assembly. It
should appear like the Image 13.
2) Pass the opposite end of the guy wire through
the eye bolt of a beam clamp (not supplied).
Thimbles must be used to protect the cable
from damage. Refer to Image 14.
3) Reduce the slack in each cable, making sure the fan assembly remains in the vertical position. Use 3
saddle clamps to crimp the end of the guy wire together (Image 14). Ensure saddle clamps are
positioned so that the teeth on the nut side grab the end of the cable that is most likely to slip.
4) Repeat steps 1 – 3 for the remaining three guy wires.
5) Once all guy wires are in place, use the turnbuckles to take out any remaining slack. Periodically
check the fan assembly with a level to ensure it remains in the vertical position. Continue adjusting by
means of the turnbuckles until all cables are satisfactory. Guy wires should be taut, but not over
stressed. Recheck all saddle clamps for tightness.
6) Tighten all jam nuts on turn buckles (Image 13). This step is required. Failure to install the guy
wires properly may void the manufacturer’s warranty AND become a safety hazard.

STEP 3 - CONNECT BOTH ENDS OF THE MOTOR CABLE
Reference: Chapter 6 of the ACS355
User’s Manual
1) Remove the cover of the VFD
using a Phillips screwdriver.
2) Pass the cable conductors and
shielding through one of the
provided strain reliefs, and then
through one of the holes on the
bottom of the VFD.
3) Connect one end of the motor
control cable to the VFD in the
manner shown under the heading
“Connecting the Power Cables” in
the “ACS355 User’s Manual.” The
three conductors should be
connected to U2, V2, and W2,
respectively, using the three (3)
yellow wire crimps. The cable foil
shield should be secured by the
cable clamp as shown in Image 18.
4) Connect the opposite end of the
motor control cable to the fan
motor. This will require removal of
one of the knockouts on the
motor’s junction box. As before,
pass the cable conductors and
shielding through the strain relief,
and then through the junction box
hole.
WARNING: The wiring configu-
ration is input voltage dependent.
Please wire the motor properly using
the wiring diagrams found on the fan
motor’s nameplate.
5) Once the cable is properly
connected at both ends, tighten
down the strain reliefs.

STEP 4 - MOUNT THE REMOTE KEYPAD & CONNECT TO THE VFD
CAUTION: It is vitally important that the remote keypad is ALWAYS mounted outside the blade
radius of the fan. This is especially important for the daisy chaining configuration (see page 25). The
daisy chaining process requires access to the keypad while the fan is in motion.
1) Once a desired location is found, ax
the remote keypad to the wall using
the mounting pads attached to the
keypad enclosure.
2) Run the Cat 6 cable up to the
fan-mounted VFD via the shortest
possible path. If possible, avoid
lighting and other noise-producing
electrical equipment. Running the
cable inside conduit is optional.
3) Pass the Cat 6 cable through the strain
relief and then into the bottom of the
drive. Connect to the cable coupler
and secure to the inside of the drive as
shown in Image 19. DO NOT connect the cable directly to the receptacle on the face of the VFD. Be
sure to tighten the strain relief on the bottom of the VFD.
4) Replace the cover of the VFD and screw down securely.
STEP 5 - CONNECT THE VFD TO A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
WARNING: There should be no voltage on the fire suppression system cable. Placing voltage
on the VFD terminal block will destroy the unit and void all manufacturers’ warranties.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect Patterson High-5 fans to the fans of another company for purposes
of fire suppression. A separate line must be run for Patterson fans ONLY.
CAUTION: If the drive will not be connected to any fire suppression system, the factory installed
jumper across 9 & 15 MUST remain in place.
1) Remove the factory installed jumper between terminals 9 and 15. The terminal block is located at the
bottom of the ACS355. For more information, refer to Image 18 on page 18.
2) Connect the fire suppression system wires to terminals 9 and 15. Again, the fire system cable will
leave the drive enclosure out of one of the holes on the bottom, using a strain relief (not provided).
3) Drive is now wired to shut down upon activation of any fire suppression signal.
