Instruction Manual Smoke Ventilation Fan Rated Smoke Ventilation Axial Flow Fan Model AESIV(R) Warning Do not carry out operation, inspection or maintenance of the fan until you read this manual and understand the content. Keep this manual carefully at hand so that it can be consulted anytime when operating, inspecting or maintaining the fan.
(5) Failures and breakage when parts other than those designated by TERAL are used TERAL shall not be liable for the damage caused by incorrect or reckless use of the fan. Cost and expenses incurred for sending engineer(s) in such a case shall be borne by the user.
Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with detailed information necessary to properly operate, maintain and inspect the fan. This manual contains the following information and is intended for persons experienced in the operation of fans, or for those who have been trained by such experienced persons.
Safety precautions Types and meanings of warning terms This instruction manual divides precautions into the following four categories according to the level of hazards (or the severity of the accident). Be sure to understand the meanings of the following terms and comply with the content (instructions) of the instruction manual.
If you carry out the maintenance or inspection work with the power on, you may suffer an electric shock and/or get injured by unexpected activation of the fan during the work. (5) Consult Teral, Inc., or a service company before moving, repairing, or modifying the fan. Location of the warning labels The figure below shows the locations to which each warning label should be affixed.
Specifications and accessories of the fan AESIV(R) is a smoke ventilation fan rated by the Building Center of Japan. No specific changes in the specifications are allowed. If you purchased a standard product, refer to the standard specifications in the following table.
Placement and installation Caution Be sure to fully understand the technical standards such as Fire Services Act and the technical guide for the smoke ventilation fan before installation. Before using the fan When you receive the fan, check the following points first. If there are any problems, contact the sales agent you purchased the product from.
3.2.1 Precautions for transportation (1) Use the designated hoist ring provided on the casing to lift Hoist ring the fan. (2) When the fan is not provided with the hoist ring, lift it by threading a rope or a wire under the casing or the common base.
3.3.2 Smoke vent (1) Use the smoke vent made of steel or any material having heat resistance equivalent to or more than steel plate with 1.5 mm thickness. (2) Install the smoke vent at such a place that exhausted smoke would not hinder evacuation or firefighting activities, considering the location of the building (particularly conditions such as wind direction, wind speed, and the conditions of buildings/roads surrounding it).
Foundation (1) The foundation must be rigid enough to bear the weight of the fan and the vibration and load caused by the rotation, and also must be made of noncombustible material. (2) Make sure that the horizontal plane of the foundation concrete will not be changed due to ground subsidence.
3.5.2 In the case of floor-installed type This section describes the procedure for installation by embedding anchor bolts (box-out method). (Select and carry out only the required steps for the pre-embedded anchor bolt method.) (1) Clean the surface of the foundation concrete and check the level. If necessary, chip the concrete surface (2) Clean the anchor bolt hole and remove dust.
Precautions for connecting the ducts Caution Ensure not to apply the weight of the duct on the fan. Otherwise, failure, breakage, or vibration may be caused. (1) Use an expansion joint not only to prevent the vibration and noise from being transmitted outside during test run but also to absorb the thermal expansion of the duct in case of fire and to prevent the weight of the duct from being applied on the fan.
Precautions for wiring work Warning Use quality equipment for electric wiring and carry out the wiring safely and securely according to the electrical installation technical standards and the electrical building codes as well as the technical standards for smoke ventilation fan. Only qualified personnel such as licensed electrical engineers are allowed to carry out electrical wiring work.
Preparation for operation Points to be checked before test running 4.1.1 Checking the electrical system (1) Check that the fan is correctly wired. (2) Check that the terminals are securely connected. (3) Check that the equipment is securely grounded. (4) Check that the settings of the overload protection device match the rated current value of the motor being used.
Precautions at the time of starting the fan (1) Turn ON and OFF the power switch once or twice and make sure that the fan generates no unusual noise or vibration during operation. Check the rotational direction of the fan at this time, too. If the fan rotates in the reverse direction, swap two of the three wires of the power supply cable.
Inspection / Maintenance Warning Before carrying out the inspection of the fan, be sure to turn off the main power. Otherwise the fan may suddenly start up during automatic operation etc., exposing personnel to great danger. Periodic inspection Caution Smoke ventilation fans must undergo the statutory inspection. (Public Notice No.3, Fire Service Act) Ensure that a qualified person conducts the periodical inspection.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Even if the same failure occurs, the cause and action may be different. In addition, there may be two or more causes. If the cause and action cannot be determined using the following table, stop the operation immediately and contact a specialist company or the service center specified by the manufacturer.
