IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING: The BAFWorks
®
Admin Lock feature is not a suitable replacement for proper lockout/tagout procedures as
prescribed in OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.147. Before servicing equipment connected to the BAFWorks system, ensure
proper procedures have been taken to isolate equipment to be serviced. These procedures MUST be followed even if the
Admin Lock feature is enabled for a device in the BAFWorks application.
CAUTION: This guide is intended to provide instructions for installing BAFWorks and using it to control fans and other
devices. Consult the installation guide included with the fan or device for additional installation, operation, and safety
instructions.
WARNING: Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards.
CAUTION: Installation must be in accordance with the requirements specified in this installation manual and with any
additional requirements set forth by the National Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70-2011, and all local codes. Code
compliance is ultimately YOUR responsibility! Failure to comply with these codes could result in personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING: The fan controllers contain high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of mains supply.
Before servicing the fan controller, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs at the controller’s disconnect. Wait
three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Note:
Darkened display LEDs are not an indication of safe voltage levels.
WARNING: When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
CAUTION: When service or replacement of a component in the fan requires the removal or disconnection of a safety device,
the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
WARNING: Power must be disconnected before installation and servicing, cleaning, and other user-maintenance. Failure to
disconnect power creates risk of fire, electric shock, and serious bodily injury.
CAUTION: Exercise caution and common sense when powering BAFWorks, fans, and other devices. Do not connect
BAFWorks, fans, or other devices to a damaged power source. Do not attempt to resolve electrical malfunctions or failures on
your own.
CAUTION: The Big Ass Solutions product warranty will not cover equipment damage or failure that is caused by improper
installation.
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS BY THE CUSTOMER OR ANY AGENT OF THE CUSTOMER WILL CONSTITUTE A BREACH
OF AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES:
• Failure to follow the required installation procedures specified in the Big Ass Solutions-supplied installation guide and
in all other documentation supplied with the fans and related equipment, including documentation provided by the
manufacturers of the individual fan and control components;
• Failure to follow all relevant codes and ordinances, including, but not limited to the National Electric Code and state and
local building codes;
• Failure to follow electrical engineering industry standards regarding the approved method of installing solid-state electrical
equipment having the characteristics of the fans, the fan controls, and their related components, even if such standards
are not specifically referenced in any instructions or literature supplied by Big Ass Solutions or provided by manufacturers
of the fan and control components; and/or
• Failure to use all installation and mounting hardware supplied by Big Ass Solutions.
CAUTION: The following information is merely a guide for proper installation. Big Ass Solutions cannot assume
responsibility for the compliance or the non-compliance to any code, national, local, or otherwise for the proper installation of
the fan controllers, fans, or associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are
