VENCO VCFI User manual

Models VCFI-3 and VCFI-6 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,
model VCFI delivers maximum airflow at a fraction of the operating cost of other HVLS fans. And, with its universal
ceiling mount, the VCFI fan is the easiest HVLS fan to install in the market!
IMPORTANT: VCFI fans must be installed with the supplied CAT-5e communication cable or shielded CAT-5e
(by others) that complies with the following specifications. Cable must be twisted pair, shielded 26 ga. CAT-5e
cable with a drain wire and must be compliant with ISO 11801. Cable must use shielded RJ45 connectors with
a soldered drain and wiring configuration must follow EIA/TIA T568B wiring pinout. Individual CAT-5e cable
lengths must not exceed 200 ft. in order to prevent network communication issues.
Required Tools
The following tools will be required to complete the
installation of every VCFI fan. Additional tools may be
required depending on the application and installation
location of the fan.
• Socket Wrench with 7/16 in., 1/2 in., 9/16 in.,
3/4 in. and 17mm Sockets
• 7/16 in., 1/2 in., 9/16 in. and 3/4 in. Wrenches
• Adjustable Wrench
• Torque Wrench (up to 50 ft∙lbf)
• Torque Wrench (up to 120 in∙lbf)
• Drill and 9/16 in. Drill Bit
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Level
• Impact Driver
• #2 Phillips Bit and Driver
• 3/8 in. Magnetic Nut Driver
• Magnetic Nut Driver Extension
NOTE: Model VCFI fan components can weigh 90 lbs.
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 VCFI fan installations.

General Safety Information
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons, Model VCFI fans must be installed
with a mount assembly, motor assembly and airfoils that
are marked (on their cartons) to indicate suitability with
this model. Other mounts, motors, and airfoils cannot
be substituted.
Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other
considerations may be required if high winds or seismic
activity are present. If more information is needed,
contact a licensed professional engineer before moving
forward.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as
well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code
(CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the impeller is critical. It must
be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any
stationary objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.

General Information
Overhead Ceiling Fans 11

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.
DANGER
Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant
l’installation ou l’entretien.
ATTENTION
Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir
avant toute maintenance.
ATTENTION
Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items
are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or
packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping
damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of
any damage detected. The customer will note damage
(or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all
copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by
the delivering carrier. If damaged, contact your local
representative immediately. Any physical damage to
the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received using the component
list on pages 13-14. If any items are missing, report
shortages to your local representative to arrange for
obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible
that all items for the unit be shipped together due
to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only
items on the bill of lading.
Storage
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user 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 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C).
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 3-1/2 in. (89 mm) 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 (Ashland Inc.) 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.

3ft. 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. For NFPA 13 compliance,
fan must be installed in the center of four adjacent
sprinklers with at least 3 ft. of vertical clearance
between the fan and sprinkler deflectors. 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 3ft.
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.
The Structural Engineer of Record (SEOR) must
perform a thorough evaluation of the mounting
structure and determine all final mounting
requirements before the fan is 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 fan.
