TDI
General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this unit.
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 propeller 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 propeller faster than the maximum
cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed with
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) may affect 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.

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.
Pour écarter les risques d'incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant
l'installation ou l'entretien.
Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir
avant toute maintenance.
Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.

  • Page 3 Lifting Fans should not be lifted by the motor, motor shaft, motor cover, belt guard, tie down points, belt tube, damper frame, windband, or fan accessories. Flanged Housing Only Use a minimum of four bolt holes, two per flange, or attach two suitable chains / straps around the entire fan housing, one near each duct flange when lifting large horizontal fans.
  • Page 4 Effects of Installation on Performance Air Flow Any installation with inlet or discharge configurations that deviate from these recommendations may result in reduced fan performance. Restricted or unstable flow at the fan inlet can cause pre-rotation of incoming air or uneven loading of the fan propeller yielding large system losses and increased sound levels.
  • Page 5: Typical Installations

    For units supplied or used with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), reference the VFD documentation for installation requirements, start-up settings, parameter adjustments and trouble shooting. VFDs provided by Greenheck are factory programmed for basic motor parameters, incoming voltage parameters and maximum operating speed (Hz).

    Field Coating Touch-Up Procedure for Scratched Areas Standard coating color is RAL 7023 Concrete Grey. This procedure outlines the correct method for repairing minor scratches in the coating. 1. Scuff affected area to be repaired using medium sandpaper (provided) or medium scotch brite pad. Feather the edges.
  • Page 7 Operation and Unit Start-Up Electrical Connections The electrical supply must be compatible with the fan motor voltage, phase and amperage capacity. The electrical supply line must be properly fused and conform to local and national electrical codes. For direct drive units, the electrical supply may be routed internally and exit through a hole provided in the fan housing if an optional service disconnect switch is provided.
  • Page 8: Maintenance

    Maintenance WARNING Always disconnect power before working on or near a unit. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker to prevent accidental power up. Failure to comply with this safety precaution could result in serious injury or death. Once the fan has been put into operation, a periodic maintenance program should be set up to preserve the reliability and performance of the fan.
