certain situations operate under automatic control and will

competent and qualified electrician undertake all electrical
wiring. All wiring is to be installed to in accordance with
National, State, and Local electrical codes. Fans used to
ventilate livestock buildings and other rooms where
continuous air movement is essential should be connected to
individual electrical circuits with a minimum of two circuits per
room.
We strongly recommend the installation of supplementary
natural ventilation as well as a back-up thermostat. There
should also be an alarm system on at least one cooling
stage. For connection requirements, refer to the diagram on
the motor nameplate and also to the information enclosed
with the AVS fan control used.
For single-phase fans, motor overload protection should be
provided for each fan. A Circuit Breaker or Slow Blow Motor
type fuse must be used. A safety cut-off switch should be
located adjacent to each fan. Contact your local distributor
for the correct cut-off switch.
The motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This
can be accomplished by wiring with a grounded conduit or a
separate ground wire attached to the motor's ground lug. Do
not attempt operation unless the motor is sufficiently
grounded.
Do not kink power cable and never allow cable to come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
Remember, electrical safety is your
responsibility!
