WARNING
Installation and electrical wiring must be completed by qualified persons in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, disconnect the fan from the power supply and follow proper lock-out-tag-out procedures for your
location. Any cover, guard, or safety device removed for repair must be replaced as originally installed.
Ensure installation securement does not penetrate walls or ceilings where electrical components or wiring could be potentially damaged.
Fan units are not designed or intended to be mounted to movable objects.
All overhead areas must be cleaned and free of dust buildup prior to powering on fan. If fan is not in service, any dust buildup must be
cleaned prior to restarting fan.
SonicAire fans are for the prevention of dust accumulation and are not to be used for declassifying areas with dust accumulation.

Setting up your fan
Your SonicAire XT200 fan comes completely assembled. The parts needed for
installation are included in your package unless otherwise noted. If you have chosen
additional accessories for your fan, please refer to the corresponding accessory manual
for instructions regarding installation and operation.
Placing your fan
We recommend that you manually clean your facility’s overhead area before
turning on your fan(s). The dust build up must be reduced to below the minimum
explosive concentration (MEC) level. Disconnect power from ALL OTHER equipment
during start-up to prevent a hazardous condition.
Ensure the chosen structure is suitable to support a 250lb (115kg) load (SonicAire
recommends consulting with a structural engineer prior to installing the fan or penetrating
structural elements).
DO NOT locate the fan near humidifiers or adiabatic coolers that produce free moisture
(water) that may accumulate on the fan.
If you need assistance with a layout or system design to make sure the effective cleaning
distance is not exceeded, please contact SonicAire.
DO NOT use this fan with any solid state speed device.
1 Determine where you will mount your fan. Use the dimensions in Figure 1.1 to
ensure:
a The fan should have clearance to rotate 360° without colliding with any
overhead objects. Please allow 6 inches of clearance in all directions.
b The bottom of the fan should be at least 8.5ft (2.7m) above the floor or other
nearby walking surfaces. If the fan will be mounted less than 8.5 ft (2.7m)
above the ground, please contact SonicAire for a Fan Guard Kit (FGK).
Tip: For large overhead obstructions, locate fans on each side of the objects to achieve
maximum cleaning capacity.

Figure 1.2
Complete hanging fan assembly
1 Attach the free end of each safety cable to a secure building structure by using the
included beam clamps and eye bolt Figure 1.4 or loop the cable around a secure
beam.
Figure 1.3
2 If you are using the included beam clamps, install
clamps on opposite sides of adjacent beams so that
they would potentially be pulled into the beam, not
away from it.
3 Adjust the cable so that there is no slack in the
cable and so there is at least 4 inches (100mm) of
cable turn back.
4 Tighten the two cable clips on each cable securely
and torque each nut evenly to 10 ft-lbs.
5 Ensure that the saddle (not the U-bolt) of the
cable clip is resting against the load bearing side of
the cable.

WARNING: INSTALLING THE CONNECTING LINK IN THE INCORRECT HOLES
WILL CAUSE THE KEYS TO SHEAR AND CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL GEAR MOTOR
FAILURE. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FAILURES ASSOCIATED WITH INCORRECT
CONNECTING LINK PLACEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT SONICAIRE IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE CONNECTING LINK.
III. Connect the TBE (Terminal Block Enclosure)
CAUTION: All electrical wiring (by owner) must be designed and installed in
accordance with local/national electrical codes (NEC NFPA 70).
Figure 1.9
1 Secure the enclosure to the building structure using the mounting holes on the
outside of the enclosure.

SonicAire XT200
Owner’s Manual

2 Use correct fittings for field wiring type and connect field wiring fittings or conduit
to the TBE.
3 Install conductors as indicated in Figure 1.9.
IV. Start up your fans
1 Turn ON the power to each fan one at a time.
2 Check for proper rotation of the fan blades.
3 If the air is not blowing out of the fan discharge, change two of the electrical leads
at the local disconnect switch to change the direction of the fan rotation.
4 Observe the fan as it oscillates through one complete cycle to ensure the fan has
proper clearance and there is no apparent binding of the iDrive system.
Your SonicAire®fan is now ready for operation.
Maintaining your fan
Continuous operation
SonicAire fans are designed so that they can operate continuously. In order for the fan
to create an effective overhead barrier to prevent dust accumulation, the fan MUST be
running during production.
CAUTION: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the fans are operated
frequently enough that a “dust cloud” is not produced by the fan(s). SonicAire fans are
not designed or intended to be used as a “blow down” tool, and should not be used as
such. Dust concentrations must remain below Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC)
levels.
If the fans will not be operated continuously, they should be operated frequently enough
that when turned on, no visible quantities of dust can be seen in the atmosphere. If dust
is visible when the fan started from a “cold” state, the fan should be operated more
frequently.
The SonicAire fan is designed to rotate continuously through a full 360° circle. While
rotating, the fan discharge will oscillate through the chosen angle as determined by the
iDrive settings. Since the oscillation of the fan discharge and the rotation of the fan are
not synchronized, the fan is directing air at a different angle each time it passes through

SonicAire XT200
Owner’s Manual
8
a complete 360° of rotation (approximately every 20 minutes). This design assures that
all of the overhead structures, and plant equipment, if desired, is thoroughly cleaned.
Electrical information
All owner furnished electrical service and components must meet
the requirements of local/national codes. All SonicAire fans must
have individual circuit protection. Failure to use individual circuit
protection will void the equipment warranty.
CAUTION
The SonicAire fan motor is a three-phase 1.5kw/2 hp motor. The motor operates at
1725 rpm at 60 Hz. The indexing gear motor is a sealed three phase, 12W, 1/56 HP
motor running at 0.7 RPM (at 60Hz). Power is transmitted to the fan motor and gear
motor through a 30 amp slip ring mounted in the unified electrical enclosure (See Wiring
Diagrams, p. 16-17).
