Models VCFI-3 and VCFI-6 are the ideal choice for providing year-round comfort in air circulation and destratification
applications. Featuring an aerodynamic, extruded aluminum airfoil design and a high efficiency direct drive motor,
model VCFI delivers maximum airflow at a fraction of the operating cost of other HVLS fans. And, with its universal
ceiling mount, the VCFI fan is the easiest HVLS fan to install in the market!
IMPORTANT:
VCFI fans must be installed with the supplied CAT-5e communication cable or shielded CAT-5e
(by others) that complies with the following specifications. Cable must be twisted pair, shielded 26 ga. CAT-5e
cable with a drain wire and must be compliant with ISO 11801. Cable must use shielded RJ45 connectors with
a soldered drain and wiring configuration must follow EIA/TIA T568B wiring pinout. Individual CAT-5e cable
lengths must not exceed 200 ft. in order to prevent network communication issues.
