5 INSTALLATION
5.1
Preliminary operations
For the CEILING FAN to work, the following are required:
Electricity supply with suitable voltage and frequency characteristics for the
machine, an earth connection and protective devices;
Installation must satisfy the safety re-
quirements laid down by current local
norms.
Then check that all the connections necessary for the equipment to work have been formed correctly by expert
personnel, according to all the specific disciplines in this regard. Vortice S.p.A. does not accept any
responsibility for damage and/or malfunctioning due to connecting the product to the power supply in a manner
that does not conform to the requirements laid down herein.
5.2
Positioning
Once the ceiling fan has been assembled, installation operations can begin.
Make sure you have understood the enclosed Assembly Instructions fully. To position the unit, the
specialist, trained operator, in terms of the requirements above, must take the following precautions:
-
The use of specific PPE is absolutely necessary, and in particular the operator must use at least
working gloves, approved clothing that ensures high visibility, safety footwear, and a protective device
for their head
-
Before beginning installation, make sure the place available is suitable for the purpose. Especially
check the connections, structure of the support / fixing point, distance from heat sources, high voltage
lines, and/or other elements that may interfere with the machine's operation in some way, distance
from the ground, and the operators involved.
-
Before proceeding with installation, assess the possible interference risks between the operations to
be carried out, fixed and moveable equipment to be used, and the working environment in which
installation is to be done, according to the reference national norms.
-
Proceed to install the product and its control panel in an accessible place that allows regular
functioning to be checked visually at all times from the ground. It must also allow quick stoppage in
case of emergency, as well as correct routine and extraordinary maintenance by authorised operators.
-
Check that no operator is under or in the proximity of the installation site, until after the unit has been
used for the first time.
-
Make sure that the minimum lighting level in the installation area is at least 50 lux, to allow mainte-
nance to be carried out and the equipment to be identified, as otherwise it may not be seen and per-
ceived when it is running. We also advise against installing the ceiling fan below light sources that
may generate a stroboscopic effect, which would be bothersome for the operators.
Once the checks indicated above have been completed, install as per the specific procedures listed below:
For installing and using the machine for the first time, see annex 1 to this Manual, "Assembly
Instructions".
5.3
Optimum installation conditions
The ceiling fan must be installed at least one metre below the ceiling and at a height of 4 metres above the
floor. The installer is also to assess any interference with machinery, balconies, balustrades, or anything else
between the floor and the machine, that may interfere with it. Before beginning installation, the area must be
specifically signposted and cleared of people or objects that may get in the way or be damaged by accidental
falling of parts of the machine. The area over which the ceiling fan's action is effective is about 3 times the di-
ameter of the fan. The manufacturer expressly forbids installations in which no space is left between one ma-
chine and another equal to the diameter of the machine itself. The installer is fully responsible for connecting
the ceiling fan to the ceiling. They must therefore assess the most suitable fixing system in order to ensure that
the unit is fixed in a workmanlike manner, according to the type of ceiling, beams or structure in general to
which the fan is to be anchored.
