Note:
Amps may increase when speed is reduced depending on control used.
Therefore leave a safety factor of 25% when determining controller
load. i.e.: 1.7 amps rated x 1.25 = 2.1 amps for sizing control.
These compact, high volume, corrosion resistant circulating fans are designed for use in livestock buildings. They
have been proven to provide healthier animals and greater yields. These benefits lead to a short payback period of
one to two years for the fans. The fans circulate fresh air, relieve heat stress, eliminate dead air pockets, and help
in controlling flies. The fans also provide more comfortable working conditions and help control moisture.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
The fans are provided with an adjustable 3-way mount. They can be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or ceiling joist as
shown in the diagrams. The fan can pivot down and swivel side to side for accurate airstream control.
WARNING: Secure safety chain provided from ceiling to guard when using any type of ceiling mount.
(Chain can also be used to hold pivot angle when pivoting fan down. (See Figures 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
BE SURE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BEFORE WIRING.
WARNING
High Voltage,
disconnect power
before servicing.
!
WARNING: ALL ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
All motors are pre-wired at 240v in our factory. Rewire motor as per motor nameplate if running fan at 120v. Please see the
motor nameplate for wiring diagram. Make electrical connections in motor connection box as per the motor nameplate. Follow
chart #1 for wire sizes.
CHART# 1
FAN CONTROL:
The fans can be controlled with manual or automatic thermostatic controls. These variable speed fans can be operated on low
in milder weather to re-circulate warm air down from the ceiling, circulate fresh air, help remove moisture, remove dead air
pockets and move unwanted gases to the exhaust. In hot weather operate the fans on high to relieve heat stress and help
control flies. For best cooling effect, direct the air stream across the animals head and shoulders.

Note:
• NEC Article 310-5 - * Minimum conductor size for general wiring at 115-440VAC is number 14AWG.
• Above wire sizes based on approximate 5% voltage drop during starting; copper conductors; and 75˚C type THHW, THW, THWN, RH, RHW insulation etc. For aluminum wire,
increase two wire size steps minimum. See NEC Article 310 for ampacities af aluminum conductors.
• Type S, SO, SJ, SJO, etc flexible cable wire sizes. See NEC Article 400 for ampacity.

FAN LOCATION:
These fans should be positioned to move air in stagnate locations, or to generate airflow over livestock to keep them cool, and
keep flies away. Some typical fan layout options are listed below.
1. ELIMINATING STAGNATE LOCATIONS IN FORCED AIR VENTILATED BUILDINGS
To move air in stagnate locations, position fan or fans to force air through. See Figure 2.
NOTE: Depending on size of stagnate area, more or less fans may be used.

Stagnate
Area

Air Stream Through Building
Example of Moving Air in Stagnate Area
2. GENERATING AIR FLOW IN NATURALLY VENTILATED BUILDINGS.
To generate airflow over livestock, fans should be spaced according to velocity diagrams below. A general rule of thumb is to
space them at a distance that will maintain a flow of 200ft/min. For example, CA24AG-GVII should be spaced out approximately
every 55ft. (See Figure 3 for typical layout, see velocity mapping diagrams on next page.)
NOTE: Fans spaced so minimum airspeed is 200ft/min.
(Typical “racetrack” configuration for naturally ventilated buildings).

WARNING: MOTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MAY RESTART
WITHOUT WARNING. ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE.
MAINTENANCE:
WARNING
Moving parts,
disconnect power
before servicing.
!
These fans are virtually maintenance free. Motor, blade and especially the guard, should be kept clean of any dirt build up to
prevent premature motor failure and to achieve proper performance.
CAUTION: If using a variable speed control, the minimum speed setting on the control should be set to half of the full load
voltage. (i.e. If fan is wired at 230V, the minimum speed setting should be set to run the fan at 115V).
CAUTION: When operating the fans in cooler weather be careful not to direct the airstream on to the animals. Cold drafts can
cause health problems.
