Fuses
It is recommended that the following fuses for protecting the equipment and subject to local
authority:
For 220-240 VAC use a fast blow fuse rated 5 Amps.
For 110-120 VAC use a fast blow fuse rated 10 Amps.
Thermal Limiting
The Fan System is designed to monitor motor and controller temperatures and, in the event, that
operating temperatures exceed control limits, fan speed will automatically reduce until the system is
within temperature limits. No user intervention is required.
Electrical Safety
Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when input power is applied. After disconnecting the
input power, always wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you
start working on the drive, motor or motor cable.
Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the external control
circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may carry dangerous voltage even when the input power
of the drive is switched off.
The Touch Current of the Protective Earthing Conductor could reach up to 9mA AC.

3. Thread hex cap screw into hub plate until blade is fastened tightly.
4. Repeat rst 3 steps for each of the remaining blades.
5. Turn fan by hand to ensure that there are no obstructions with the blades.
Installation Procedure Installing the Optional LED Light Kit
Installing the Blades
Caution! to reduce the risk of re, electric shock,
or injury to persons, disconnect the electrical
supply circuit to the fan before installing light kit.
The light kit is pre-assembled for visual understanding of assembly, and will need to be disassembled
to install.
1. Remove light kit from box
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four - #6 x 3/8 screws and the two electrical box clips
to free the LED panel light from the electrical box. Inside, there will be three #8 x 3/8 pan head
machine screws.
3. Direct the LED power wire on the bottom of the motor assembly through the electrical box.
Mount the electrical box to the bottom of the motor assembly using the three #8 x 3/8 pan head
machine screws ensuring wiring is not compromised.
4. Plug the LED panel light into the power wire.
5. Install the four - #6 x 3/8 screws and the two electrical box clips to secure the LED panel light to
the electrical box in the same manner it was packaged.

Wiring the Fan
A means of disconnect must be incorporated in the xed wiring in accordance with electrical codes
and standards.
DO NOT LIFT, CARRY, OR HANG FAN BY POWER CABLE. This could possibly cause the safety
disconnect system to disconnect power to the fan.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
For compliance with EMC standards the LF/SP Assembly must be installed as directed in the
installation manual. The EMC requirements apply to the nal installation in its entirety, not to the
individual components used. As every installation is different, the recommended installation should
follow these guidelines as a minimum.
Note: The use of the LF/SP Assembly is mandatory and will apply to Fan [CE]. However, for Fan [UL/
CSA] the LF/SP Assembly is additional optional equipment and is available upon request.
Electrical Installation
Installing the Hub Cover [with Lens]
1. Take hub cover [with optional lens if applicable], and place over the center hub and blade
proles. Align the hole pattern up with clearance holes on each of the ve blades.
2. Fasten hub cover with insert to fan assembly by threading ve #8-32 X 1-3/8” long machine screws
through the clearance hole into each blade and tighten to secure.
3. Turn fan by hand to ensure that there are no obstructions with the hub cover.
1. Ensure all local electrical codes are met.
2. The motor is to be eld-wired to a separate dedicated branch circuit.
3. The power cable must be secured to a solid point of the glu-lam, purlin, OWSJ, wood truss or
building structure. The power cable is to be fastened so there is absolutely no slack in line, in order
to allow the safety disconnect to function as designed.
4. The location of the input power [line] is labelled on the enclosure and should be drilled to
accommodate the appropriate gauge of wire required in accordance with the electrical codes
and standards.
5. The input power [line] will be wired into the LF/SP assembly as shown in the following illustration.
6. The outgoing power [load] that is coming out of the LF/SP Assembly and going to the fan must
also be wired as shown in the following illustration.

Electrical Installation HMI Control
HMI/CAT 5 Cable Connection
75ft of Cat 5 cable is supplied to connect the HMI to the fan. This is a simple “plug and play”
application once the cable is ran. Level and install HMI within reach of the 75ft CAT 5 cable using
supplied fasteners. It is recommended the fan remain in line of site of the HMI.
HMI Control
The bottom left button toggles ‘Light’ to ‘Fan’ depending on what functionality you are looking to set
or adjust. When the screen says ‘Fan’, the remaining buttons on the keypad are controlling just the
fan. When the screen says ‘Light’, the remaining buttons on the keypad are controlling just the light.
The centre button is the on/off control. This button controls both the fan & light, however; they are
controlled separately depending on which functionality the interface is showing.
The top left button only works when the interface is controlling the ‘Fan’. This button is for forward and
reverse functionality of the fan as indicated by the left and right arrows.
The up and down buttons on the right of the control adjust the speed of the fan or the brightness of
the light depending on which functionality the interface is showing. The value is displayed 0%-100%
and is adjusted in increments if 5%. 100% displayed for the fan is equivalent to full speed and 100%
displayed for the light is full brightness. The control will remember the last speed & light values and will
automatically resume those settings once the fan is turned back on.
Note: The Fan System is designed to monitor motor and controller temperatures and in the event
that operating temperatures exceed control limits, fan speed will reduce until the system is within
temperature limits. No user intervention is needed.
