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.
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 affects
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.
Receiving
The transportation carrier has the responsibility of delivering all items in their original condition as received from
Greenheck. The warranty period begins at the time of shipment. Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all
items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. The individual receiving the
equipment is responsible for inspecting the unit for obvious or hidden damage and recording any damage on the bill
of lading before acceptance of the equipment. All claims (if necessary) shall be filed with the final carrier.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received, including accessory kit
containing flex connector, gasketing, etc. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due
to availability of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill
of lading.
Handling
The ERS is to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided. Location of brackets varies by model and size.
Handle each piece in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce
ability of fan or plenum cabinet to resist corrosion. See coating repair section of this manual for details involving
touch-up of damaged surfaces.
Storage
If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the
unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the ERS and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer
will not be responsible for damage during storage.
Inspection and Maintenance during Storage
While in storage, inspect ERS once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed. Failure to
inspect and maintain during storage may void the warranty.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. ERS with special coatings may require
special techniques for touch-up or repair.
When an ERS plenum cabinet is not going to be in
service for an extended period of time, cover unit with
tarp to protect from dirt and moisture.
Removing from Storage
As the ERS is removed from storage to be installed in its final location, it should be protected and maintained in a
similar fashion, until the equipment goes into operation.
Prior to assembly and installation of the Vektor fan and system components, inspect the fan assembly to make sure
it is in working order.
