  • Page 9: Installation

    INSTALLATION MOUNTING STEP 1 Unscrew and loosen the metal rings using a Phillips screwdriver and pliers. STEP 2 Remove the motor box from the flange bracket. Remove the wind circle between the motor box and the intake flange.
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION MOUNTING STEP 3 Use the flange bracket to set your desired fan position. Mark the four mounting holes. STEP 4 Drill four holes into the marked locations. Make sure your mounting area is structurally sound and free from obstruction.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION MOUNTING STEP 5 If you are mounting onto anything other than a wood support or stud, insert the included four wall anchors into the drilled mounting holes. You may need to use a hammer to secure them through the holes. STEP 6 Align the flange bracket’s holes with the wall anchors.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION MOUNTING STEP 7 Place the wind circle back into the intake flange and reposition the metal clamps over the flanges if applicable. STEP 8 Slide the motor box back into the flange bracket, making sure its airflow arrow is pointing in the same direction as the flange bracket’s arrow.
  • Page 13 INSTALLATION MOUNTING STEP 9 Place the metal rings back onto the flanges and tighten the screws back to secure the fan. STEP 10 If installing ducting, use the included duct clamps to secure it to either end of the duct fan, making sure there is a tight seal.
  • Page 14 INSTALLATION HANGING - ROPE CLIPS STEP 11(a) - Hanging Upward If installing with rope hangers (sold separately), loop the ropes around the flanges and tighten the rope to secure the fan. STEP 11(b) - Hanging Downward Loop the two rope hangers around a pole and the fan's bracket.
  • Page 15: Hanging - Straps

    INSTALLATION HANGING - STRAPS STEP 1 Loop the strap around the bracket and a pole. STEP 2 Slip the strap through the inner ladder lock slot from the bottom.
  • Page 16 INSTALLATION HANGING - STRAPS STEP 3 Route the strap into the outer ladder lock slot from the top. Adjust the length of the completed loop as needed. STEP 4 Tuck the loose end through the center gap of the ladder lock to secure the loop.
  • Page 17 INSTALLATION HANGING - STRAPS STEP 5(a) - Hanging Downward Let the fan hang by the pole once the straps are secure. Make sure the fan's airflow arrow is pointing towards your desired direction. STEP 5(b) - Hanging Upward To hang the fan right-side up, loop and tighten the straps, as shown in steps 1-4, around the pole.
  • Page 18 INSTALLATION MOTOR CAP STEP 1 Unscrew the motor cap using a screwdriver. STEP 2 Rotate the motor cap to your desired orientation. Reapply the screws. Rotating the motor cap will not void your warranty.
  • Page 19: Configuration Setup

    INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION SET-UP Intake and Exhaust This fan can be used as either an intake fan or an exhaust fan in grow rooms and larger grow tents. To achieve optimal whole space ventilation, the intake fan or opening - if not using a fan - must be situated at a bottom corner of your grow space.
  • Page 20 POWERING AND SETUP S-SERIES STEP 1 Plug the duct fan’s 4-pin molex connector into the speed controller’s port at the top. STEP 2 Plug the fan's power cord into a wall outlet. The controller will receive power from the fan to operate.
  • Page 21 POWERING AND SETUP T-SERIES STEP 1 You may cable manage the cords using tie mounts, wood screws, and zip ties included with this fan. Secure the tie mounts onto a surface using the wood screws. Loop the zip ties around the cords into the tie mounts.
  • Page 22 POWERING AND SETUP T-SERIES STEP 3 Plug the sensor probe into the controller’s 3.5mm jack. Set the probe near your plants in your grow tent for the most accurate reading. Keep the probe cord away from your HID* grow light ballast's power cord to ensure the controller properly detects climate conditions.
  • Page 23 ADDING MORE FANS The smart controller for the CLOUDLINE T-Series has an additional port so that you can add an S-Series fan to power and control two fans together. Please see below for limitations. T-SERIES CONTROLLER Smart controllers for T-Series models with EC motors can support two fans of any size. The two EC-motor fans must be plugged in to an outlet to power the fans and the controller.
  • Page 24 CLEANING STEP 1 Remove the motor box from the mounting flange. Refer to steps 1-2 on page 9 to learn how to remove the motor box. STEP 2 Use a damp cloth to clear the impeller and fan blades of any dust and debris. Remove the wind circle in between the motor box and input flange.
  • Page 25 CLEANING STEP 3 Clear the stator blades of any dust and debris on the opposite end. Clean the area inside the output and exhaust flanges. STEP 4 Secure the motor box onto the mounting flanges. Refer to steps 7-9 on page 12-13 to learn how to secure the motor box.
