NuAire AXUS AXR Installation And Maintenance Manual

Introduction

The Nuaire AXR Roof mounted unit is designed to operate day
to day as standard roof extract fan. However, in the event of a
fire, the unit can extract smoke at temperatures up to 400 o C
for a maximum of two hours. The fans have airflow rates up to
3
23m /s and static pressure up to 555Pa.
The unit is available in four case sizes
AXR 56, AXR 71, AXR 100, AXR 125.
(See page 3 for dimensions and weights). The 56 and 71 units
are manufactured in aluminium alloy. 100 to 125 size units are
manufactured in polyester powder painted galvanised steel.
All units have airflow operated shutters which are weather
proof when closed. The bird/ safety guards on the outlet are
designed to automatically displace if blocked by fire debris etc.
The fans incorporate a directly driven, high performance,
temperature rated, form 'A' aluminium alloy (300 o C) and steel
(400 o C) axial flow type impellers.
Access to the impeller/motor is made by removing the top
cover assembly.

Handling
Units are delivered to site mounted onto wooden transit
frames. In addition to making the fans easier to handle during
transit, the frames also afford protection for the motor section.
We advise that the wooden frames should remain on the fans
until the moment of actual installation and fixing.
Handling the unit is best carried out wth the unit fixed to the
transit frame. When lifting, use spreader beams through the
transit frame ensuring the unit is evenly balanced and that the
lifting slings or webbing are not in direct contact with the
casing (see fig 1a).
The larger unit (125) has lifting lugs fitted to each lower
corner to which the slings can be attached which makes the
use of spreaders unnecessary. See figure 1b.
Note. When releasing a larger unit from its metal transit frame
the weight of the unit should first be supported by jacks under
the unit motor supports before attempting to remove the frame
fixing screws.

Under no circumstances must they be used to lift the complete
unit. Note also that units must not be stacked.
