GENERAL INFORMATION
Unit identification tags
Each unit has a permanently affixed nameplate with various identifications including, but not limited to, the unit model and serial
numbers, motor ratings and voltages.
The figure below is an example of a PennBarry unit nameplate. It includes all of the specifications of the unit, as referenced above.
When contacting your PennBarry representative, please have the information on the nameplate readily available, as this will help to
streamline your help request.
Fan components may arrive in pieces or assemblies depending on the fan configuration. Components of the fan will have matching
nameplates, and these components should not be mixed with other PennBarry fans. If mismatched components are installed in the
same fan, fan performance may be reduced.
Pre-Installation information
Ensure that the mounting surface where the unit is to be installed is completely level and free of debris. The mounting surface must
also be able to bear the entire weight of the fan.
Electrical service switches
An electrical service switch must be installed either on the unit or in visual proximity to the unit, so that the unit can be easily turned
off for maintenance or trouble shooting. These must be locked out when the unit is being maintained or serviced.
Moving parts
Any moving parts on the unit must have covers or guards to protect any servicers or personnel. These guards are to be installed in
accordance with local codes. The fan wheel must be secured before performing any maintenance on the unit; damage to the wheel
is possible if this precaution is not taken.
Guards (Motor/Weather cover)
All parts of the unit, including guards and covers, must be installed before attempting to start the unit. Do not operate the unit with
any missing pieces, particularly any guards or covers; this includes any hardware such as nuts and bolts, which hold these covers in
place.
Air pressure and suction
Fans moving at any speed create suction with varying degrees of strength. Special consideration needs to be taken when working
around these units. Do not leave any loose articles of clothing or materials in or around air intake or fan inlet.
