Preparing the Work Site
4.1 Mechanical Installation
A 16’ (4.9m) Tempest fan (our largest model) weighs, at maximum, 155 lbs (70kg). A scissor lift, or other suitable
means for lifting and a minimum of two installation personnel, will be required.
S&P fans can be hung from a unistrut, angle irons, or an I-beam. See installation instructions on the following page.
Do not mount the fan to single purlins, trusses, or bar joists. Consult a structural engineer for installation methods not
covered in the manual.
The fan installation area and path must be free of obstructions such as lights, cables, sprinklers, or other building
structure. We strongly recommend not mounting the fan closer than 15% of its diameter to any object or its path.
Do not install the fan where it will be continuously subjected to high winds (ex. Under a high velocity HVAC system).
Allow a required 2x the fans diameter between the fan and the HVAC (or other air-moving) equipment when
measured from the center of the fan to the equipment.
The spacing between multiple fans should be no less than 2.5x the fans diameter when measured from the center of
the fans.
4.2 Electrical Installation
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect assembly can
cause electric shock or damage the motor and controller.
The installation of a S&P Fan must comply with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and all local
codes.
All unused conductors that share conduit with the AC supply feeds must be grounded on both ends.
If required, a local disconnect should be installed per NEC and all local codes.
Refer to specifications on page 31 for appropriate circuit requirements.
Each fan requires dedicated branch circuit protection.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install the fan so that the blade(s) is at least 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the floor.
Pour réduire le risque de blessures, installez le ventilateur de sorte que la lame (s) est d’au moins 10 pieds (3,05
mètres) au-dessus du sol.

(I-Beam Adapter Kit Required)
