1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General warnings
•Make sure you have a complete copy of this manual and the enclosed Assembly Instructions available.
Read both documents fully and make sure you understand them adequately before proceeding with
subsequent steps. If you have any doubt about a task to be carried out, apply the criterion of maximum
personal and collective safety. Immediately interrupt your work, make everything done so far in com-
plete safety, and ask for adequate instructions, if necessary, from the manufacturer as well.
•Check the integrity of the equipment when opening the packaging. Pay particular attention to damage
to or deformation of mechanical parts, which may result in breakage and/or malfunctions when in use.
If any of these are found, do not connect the machine to the power supply. Carry out these checks
every time before use.
•Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check that the indications on the data plate cor-
respond to the electricity supply. The data plate is located on the electronic motor (see par. 1.9).
•Each and every person that may come into contact in any way with the product marketed by Vortice
S.p.A., and described here, must be adequately informed by the purchaser of about use, risks, dan-
gers and safety procedures, in the ways provided for by law and as described below in this document.
Conform to the safety norms indicated for electrical equipment, and especially:
•Conform to the assembly and installation instructions for the equipment.
•Do not put items on top of the ceiling fan, and do not hang anything from the ceiling fan's blades.
•Do not touch the ceiling fan when it is running, or immediately after it has stopped. Remember that the
motor could be hot.
• Never immerse the equipment in water or any other liquid, and do not use water, especially pressur-
ised, for washing or cleaning the fan or its parts. This equipment is not designed to be impermeable to
water. Do not touch the equipment if it gets wet by accident. Immediately disconnect the power sup-
ply by switching off the switch on the electrical panel for your system, and immediately disconnect the
feeder before touching the equipment. Use suitable means to indicate that reinstating the power sup-
ply at the panel is forbidden.
• Do not touch the equipment with wet and/or damp hands.
• Do not use accessories, spare parts and/or components that are not indicated or supplied by the manu-
facturer.
• Do not pull the power supply cable or expose it to a risk of being sheared.
• If a fault occurs and/or the equipment works badly, switch it off immediately and disconnect the power
supply. Use suitable means to indicate that reinstating the power supply at the panel is forbidden. Do
not attempt to open or tamper with the equipment. Contact Vortice's technical service department.
1.2 Conventions used in this manual
The Manual is broken down into independent chapters, each of which is addressed to a specific type of opera-
tor (INSTALLER, MACHINE OPERATOR AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN), for which the skills required to
operate on the machine in safety have been defined.
The sequence of the chapters follows the temporal logic of the machine's lifespan.
To facilitate immediate understanding of the text terms, abbreviations and pictograms are used, the meaning of
which is indicated below.
ABBREVIATION
Cap. = Chapter
Par. = Paragraph
Pag. = Page
Fig. = Figure
Tab. = Table
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
The units of measurement used are those from the International System (SI).

Keeping this instruction manual
The instruction manual, along with the enclosed Assembly Manual, must be kept and must stay with the machine
through all changes of ownership that may occur during the machine's lifespan.
Anyone who has to come into contact with the ceiling fan in any way or that is involved with using it (due to prox-
imity of the working area, etc.) must be informed of this manual as well as the enclosed Assembly Manual, and
adequately trained by the purchaser / user.
Conservation of the same must be facilitated by handling it carefully, with clean hands and avoiding putting it on
dirty surfaces.
The parts must not be removed, torn or arbitrarily changed.
The manual and the enclosed assembly manual must be kept in a place protected against damp and heat, and
in the immediately vicinity of the machine to which it relates.
The Manufacturer is able to provide further copies of the Instruction Manual and the enclosed Assembly Manual
for the machine, if requested by the User.
Such requests should be sent to Vortice Technical Dept. (www.vortice-italy.com)

GLOSSARY (Ann. I p. 1.1.1 Dir. 2006/42/EC)
DANGER A potential source of injury or harm to one's health.
DANGER ZONE Any zone inside and/or in proximity to the machine in which the
presence of a person constitutes a risk to the health and safety of
that person.
EXPOSED PERSON Any person that finds themselves fully or partially in a danger zone.
OPERATOR The person(s) tasked with installing, operating, setting, cleaning,
repairing, moving or doing maintenance work on the machine.
RISK Acombination of the probability and gravity of an injury or damage
to one's health that may result in a dangerous situation.
GUARD A part of the machine used specifically to ensure protection by
means of a material barrier.
PROTECTIVE DEVICE A device (other than a guard) that reduces a risk on its own or in
association with a guard.
INTENDED USE Use of the machine within the limits laid down by the Manufacturer,
for which the machine is designed and built, in conformity to the
information provided in the instructions for use.
REASONABLY FORESEEABLE
INCORRECT USE
Use of the machine in a way that differs from that indicated in the
instructions for use, but that may result from human behaviour that
can easily be foreseen.
OTHER DEFINITIONS
MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION: Any situation in which an operator interacts with the machine, in any
operating phase, and at any time in the life of the machine.
OPERATOR'S QUALIFICATION The minimum skill level the operator must have to carry out the
operation described.
NUMBER OF OPERATORS Number of operators able to carry out the operation described in the
best possible way, and resulting from careful analysis by the
manufacturer. Therefore, use by a number of different members of staff
could prevent the expected result being achieved or put the personnel
involved in danger.
MACHINE STATUS The machine's status includes its operating mode, such as automatic
operation, jog mode control, stopping, etc., the condition of the safety
devices in the machine, such as guards included, guards excluded,
emergency button pushed, type of isolation from energy sources, etc.
RESIDUAL RISK Risks that remain, despite integrated protective measures being
adopted that are integrated in the design of the machine, and despite
the additional protective devices and measures adopted.
SAFETY COMPONENT Component:
- Intended to provide a safety function.
- A component that, if damaged and/or tampered with, puts the safety
of the people involved in jeopardy (e.g. lifting equipment; fixed, mo-
bile or adjustable guard, etc.; electrical, electronic, optical, pneumatic
or hydraulic device that serves as, or interlocks a guard, etc.).
