When the remote for the Patterson HIGH-5 model shows "gear box not responding" and won't turn on, it likely means the plug in the cap of the gearbox has not been removed. This step is mandatory before operation. Failing to remove the plug can cause pressure buildup in the gearbox, leading to seal failure and possible system malfunction.

Gearbox – Periodic maintenance will ensure your fan remains operational for its intended life. While Patterson recommends the end-user check and change the gearbox oil annually, failure to do so will not void any warranties. Oil type used is Chevron® Delo Gear ESI 85W-140. Contact Patterson at (800) 768-3985 for availability.

STEP 1A – MOUNT TO AN EXISTING I-BEAM It is important to attach the mounting bracket to the structure first and then connect the fan assembly. If the mounting surface isn't level, the mounting bracket can be mounted in either direction to allow the fan to swivel and hang straight.

If a down rod was ordered, adjust the mounting bracket connectors to their widest position. Refer to Image 2. IMAGE 3 Attach clamp to I-beam structure, as shown in the diagram labeled Image 3.

Refer to Image 5 to determine which set of bolt slots to use: IMAGE 5 For spanning structure width less than 7¼”, use slots labeled “A”. Spanning structures wider than 7¼” should use slots labeled “B”. If spanning structure thickness is greater than ½”, use provided spacer as shown in Image 6. SPACER MOUNTING BRACKET...

IMAGE 10 STEP 4 - INSTALL FAN ASSEMBLY SAFETY CABLE Note: This step is required. Failure to install the safety cable may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Pass one end of the safety cable under the hangers. Refer to Images 9 and 10 for more information. The opposite end of the safety cable should be passed over the top of the I-beam or other mounting structure.

STEP 5 - INSTALL GUY WIRES IMAGE 12 JAM NUTS IMAGE 13 Note: For maximum stability, the angle formed between the guy wire and the ceiling should be less than 45 degrees. Note: This step is required. Failure to install the guy wires properly may void the manufacturer’s warranty AND become a safety hazard.

STEP 6 - INSTALL FAN BLADES & SECURE BLADE SAFETY BRACKET Care should be taken when installing the blades to ensure they are not bent or damaged, as this may a ect fan performance. Remove blade bolts, nuts, and washers from blade “paddle” on the fan’s hub. Carefully slide the fan blade into position until all blade bolt holes on the fan, blade, and safety bracket are aligned.

Remove plug in the gearbox and replace with vent prior to operation of the fan. The vent fitting is in a bag that is a xed to the frame at the location of the plug. THIS COMPLETES THE MECHANICAL INSTALLATION OF YOUR HIGH-5 FAN. HIGH-5 pattersonfan.com 800.768.3985...

STEP 3 - CONNECT BOTH ENDS OF THE MOTOR CABLE Reference: Chapter 6 of the ACS355 User’s Manual IMAGE 18 Cat 6 Cable Remove the cover of the VFD Receptacle using a Phillips screwdriver. Pass the cable conductors and shielding through one of the provided strain reliefs, and then through one of the holes on the bottom of the VFD.

VFD terminal block will destroy the unit and void all manufacturers’ warranties. CAUTION: DO NOT connect Patterson High-5 fans to the fans of another company for purposes of fire suppression. A separate line must be run for Patterson fans ONLY.
PART 3 DAISY CHAINING This section is optional and is not necessary to complete the installation of your fan. WARNING: Please read carefully and completely before beginning the daisy chaining procedure. pattersonfan.com 800.768.3985...
Page 21
Daisy chaining is a set up by which the output of one VFD is tied to the input of the next VFD downstream. This allows for a master/follower configuration. The “master” fan remains in LOCAL mode, while all the “followers” are set to REMOTE. The followers will then rotate at the same speed as the master fan. Note: Any fan in the daisy chain can be set to LOCAL (LOC) mode for local control.
Page 22
Please note the series of jumpers in the above diagram. These must be connected in addition to the daisy chain input/output wiring. Two of the jumpers are already factory installed (see below). The rest must be connected at the time of fan installation. The numbers in the diagram correspond to numbers on the drive’s terminal block (see Image 18 on page 18 of these instructions).
Page 23
Once all followers have been properly scaled, return to the master fan and set the desired speed for the daisy-chained system. For additional questions concerning the daisy chain configuration, contact Patterson engineering at (800) 768-3985. THIS COMPLETES THE HIGH-5 DAISY CHAINING INSTRUCTIONS.
