If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with installing electricalcomponents, do not attempt to install the fan without an electrician. Serious personal injury or damage to the fan and other equipmentcould result. This guide is merely a recommendation of proper installation. Adhering to national and local electric codes is yourmandatory that the installer verify that airfoils, motor assemblies, and fan controllers are matched properly at the time of installation,especially if multiple fan systems will be installed.The following sections outline how to prepare for the electrical installation, and include the required cables and how to properly routethe cabling through conduit, how to properly ground the fan system, how to properly wire the fan controller, how to properly wire the fanmotor, and proper startup procedures.Controller storageStore the controller within an ambient temperature range of -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C) and a relative humidity range of 0 to 95%,non-condensing. Do not expose the controller to a corrosive atmosphere. If the controller has been in storage or disconnected frompower for more than one year, apply AC supply power to the controller for a period of two hours prior to operation in order to reconditionthe internal DC bus capacitors.Power requirements for fan controllersThe power requirements for fan controllers are listed in the table on p. 2. If multiple controls are connected to one feeder circuit, thecircuit required is the sum of the feeder circuit requirements listed on the chart. This type of installation will also require that each fancontrol be installed downstream from a dedicated over-current protection device.Mounting the wall controllerIf you are mounting the controller to the fan motor frame instead of the wall (onboard VFD option), skip this section andrefer to the mounting instructions that came with the wall controller and hardware for the onboard VFD.Mount the controller to a wall using a #8–#10 screw. Adhere to the following guidelines when selecting the controller location: objects or moving equipment. Do not mount any controller adjacent to or above a heat source or heat-producing equipment. The ambient temperature must be between 14º F (-10º C) and 122º F (50º C). Do not expose the controller to a corrosive atmosphere, moisture, or direct sunlight. When mounting the controller, keep in mind that the fan should be visible from the controller.

Power factor correction capacitors Intermittent noise spikes (lightning)Conduit and piping guidelinesCAUTION: The presence of foreign signals on a drive’s output wiring greatly reduces the controller’s ability to controlcurrent and speed regulation of the fan. Any wiring practice that would allow this kind of “cross-talk” must be avoided.Failure to do so may result in nuisance tripping and/or premature equipment failure. Sources of foreign signals that couldinduce such signals include another VFD’s output circuit, long “across-the-line” motor circuits, and lighting circuits.CAUTION: Recommendations for fan controller output/motor lead routing deem some conventional wiring practices“unacceptable.” National and/or local code does not differentiate between solid-state and electromechanical systems;however, due to the nature of the Big Ass Fan system, there are additional requirements that must be met to ensureproper operation.ATTENTION : La présence de signaux étrangers sur le câblage de sortie du variateur réduit considérablement lacapacité du régulateur à régler le courant et la vitesse du ventilateur.

Due tohigh frequency electrical noise on the output side of the fan controller, measures must be taken to ensure that wires and cabling arerouted in a manner consistent with recommendations made in this section. Big Ass Fans controllers rely on “motor feedback” throughthe cabling to sense motor speed, slip, etc.Controller AC supplyMost conventional methods of power distribution and branch circuit installation apply to all models of fan controllers. Installation must AC supply feeds for one fan controller can share the same conduit with AC supply feeds for one or more additional controllers. AC supply feeds for a fan controller and output/motor leads for the same fan controller cannot share a conduit. Any unused conductors that share a conduit with an AC supply feed should be grounded on both ends to prevent risk of electricshock due to induced voltages. Output/motor leads for a fan controller and AC supply feeds for the same fan controller cannot share a conduit. Output/motor leads for one fan controller cannot share conduit with AC supply feeds or output/motor leads from one or moreadditional fan controllers. Any unused conductors that share a conduit with fan controller output/motor leads should be grounded on both ends to prevent riskof electric shock due to induced voltages.Power wiring guidelinesIn order to satisfy some code requirements, it may be necessary to install a manual disconnect at the fan motorlocation when the fan assembly is not within “line-of-sight” from the fan controller.

To encourage a trouble-freefan system, additional input considerations should be addressed prior to installation.Input voltage irregularitiesCAUTION: One device is required for each fan controller.ATTENTION : Un dispositif est requis pour chaque régulateur de ventilateurThe fan controllers are suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated voltage of the fan controller, but are sensitive torapid changes in supply voltage. Below are certain input power conditions that may cause nuisance tripping, such as Overvoltageand Undervoltage faults. If any of the conditions exist as described below, you can install one of the devices listed under the heading“Corrective Action” on the input side of the fan controller.Input power conditionCorrective actionLow line impedance (less than 1% reactance)Line has power factor correction capacitorInstall line reactor. Consult your Big Ass Fans representativeLine has frequent power interruptions (voltage sags or swells) for recommended part number.Phase-to-ground voltage exceeds 125% of normal line to line voltage Install Delta/Wye isolation transformer with groundedUngrounded distribution systemsecondary (1:1 turns ratio).Install line reactor.More than one controller per branch circuitDelta secondaryCAUTION: Care must be taken when connecting to a three-phase 240/120V secondary as shown below. All fan controllermodels rely on internal references made between each incoming phase and ground. To prevent nuisance tripping such asOvervoltage and Undervoltage faults, 200–250V, three phase fan controllers should be connected so that the High leg, or“phase B,” terminates on “L2” of the fan controller’s input power terminals.CAUTION: Avoid installations utilizing supply transformers with a 480V delta secondary (ungrounded, corner grounded,open). Proper fan operation cannot be guaranteed due to a lack of proper phase-to-ground voltage references.ATTENTION : Il faut faire attention lors de la connexion à un secondaire triphasé 240/120V, comme illustré. Tous lesmodèles de contrôleur de ventilation dépendent des références internes effectuées entre chaque phase d’arrivée etchaque base. Pour éviter les déclenchements intempestifs tels que les défauts de surtension et de sous-tension, lesrégulateurs triphasés de 200V doivent être raccordés de sorte que la tension trop élevée ou la « phase B », termine le« L2 » des bornes d’entrée d’alimentation du régulateur de ventilation.ATTENTION : Éviter les installations utilisant des transformateurs d’alimentation avec un secondaire delta de 480V (nonmis à terre, mis à terre, ouvert).
