Vektor-CD
Direct or Belt Drive
The Vektor-CD fan is a side inlet centrifugal blower
with a high plume dilution nozzle designed for
laboratory exhaust systems. Available in either direct
or belt drive configurations, the Vektor-CD is capable
of up to 14 inches wg of static pressure and 100,000
cfm and can be constructed to AMCA spark B or
C specifications. All fans are AMCA 210 and 260
certified for flows as well as AMCA 300 for sound. The
Vektor-CD is available in 15 sizes ranging from 12 to
66 inch wheels. Each fan has a permanently affixed
manufacturer's engraved metal nameplate containing
the model number and individual serial number.

General Safety Information

Only qualified personnel should install this fan system.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.
Other considerations may be required if high winds
or seismic activity are present. If more information
is needed, contact a licensed professional engineer
before moving forward.
DANGER
Always disconnect power before working on or
near a fan. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or
breaker to prevent accidental power up.
CAUTION
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive
atmospheres.

Centrifugal Laboratory Exhaust
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in
Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free
to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum
cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed
significantly effects motor load. If the fan RPM is
changed, the motor current should be checked to
make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate
amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is
running.
