ELECTRICAL WIRING
Recommended Wire Routing:
As the power cable exits the back of motor form
a drip loop and then run power cable down along
motor mount and "Zip" tie the cable to motor mount
to prevent cable from getting tangled in the prop.
See Figure 9. Then run the cable out the drain hole
to the circuit breaker or control panel.
Figure 9
!
WARNING
High Voltage,
disconnect power
before installation.
KEY:
L1= Line 1
L2= Line 2
G = Ground
All wiring should be installed in accordance with National, State, and Local electrical codes.
Fans used to ventilate livestock buildings or other rooms where continuous air movement is
essential should be connected to individual electrical circuits, with a minimum of two circuits
per room. For electrical connection requirements, refer to diagram on motor nameplate and
to information enclosed with the Aerotech environmental control to be used.
Motor overload protection should be provided for each fan. A Circuit Breaker Switch or slow
blow motor type fuses must be used See Figure 10. See Aerotech form QM1400 for proper
size. NOTE: A safety cut-off switch should be located adjacent to each fan.

OPERATION
!
1) INITIAL START-UP: With electrical power off, verify that the fan propeller turns
freely and that all fasteners are secure. Turn on electrical power and confirm that the fan operates smoothly.
WARNING
2) ADJUSTMENTS: Set the fan control to the temperature shown on your Aerotech ventilations system drawing, or to a value which will provide the desired
environmental conditions.
Moving parts,
disconnect power
before servicing.
When variable speed controls are used, the fan's idle speed will need to be set to the recommended minimum airflow rate. Refer to the procedures included with each control. The following table provides airflow rates at various propeller speeds for fans wired for 240 VAC:

MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING
The following inspection and cleaning procedures should be performed monthly:
1) INSPECT PROPELLER: Check that propeller is secure on motor shaft and that there are no signs of damage. The blades are of a self-cleaning design and should not require maintenance.
2) CLEAN regularly for best results:
High Voltage,
disconnect power
before servicing.
!
WARNING
• FAN MOTOR: Remove any dust accumulation from motor using a brush or cloth. (DO NOT use a pressure washer). A clean motor will run cooler and last longer. At the same time, verify that the motor is secure in its mount.
• SHUTTER: Carefully clean dust from shutter blades and frame so that shutter opens and closes freely. A brush or cloth should be used.
• GUARD: Clean any dust or feathers from fan guards using a brush. Dirty guards can reduce airflow.
• PIPE HOUSING: Remove dust accumulations from bottom of pipe housing.
Exterior of pipe housing may be cleaned with mild soap and water; abrasives are
not recommended.
Moving parts,
disconnect power
before servicing.
!
WARNING
3) CHECK FASTENERS: For safety, all fasteners should be inspected. Tighten any
loose connections.
4) INSPECT FAN CONTROL: With power disconnected, inspect all electrical connections. Wiring should be secure and in good condition. Remove any dust build-up from
control case and sensor using a soft brush or cloth. NEVER CLEAN ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT WITH A PRESSURE WASHER!
Do not power
wash.

3. Motor shaft bent
Repair or replace motor
1.Override thermostat set incorrectly
Set to the correct temperature
2. Control set for continuous operation
Set speed control correctly
WINTERIZING FAN
In most climates, it is probable that the ventilation system will never need to operate at a total capacity during
the colder winter months. Consequently, it is advisable to "winterize" those fans which will not be used in cold
weather to avoid unnecessary heat loss and condensation.
To winterize, turn fan control "off". Install the insulated closure panel over the fan intake. If you don't have an
insulated closure panel, a piece of rigid insulation material can be used. Remember the insulation panel
must be removed before warmer weather returns.
NOTE: At least one single speed fan should be left uncovered and with power available to provide air
movement in the event of variable speed control difficulties.
