Clearance Guidelines

⚠ ATTENTION: Sprinkler Systems and Fan Placement. In any installation where fire sprinklers

are in place, do not interfere with their correct operation. Fans should be located no less than

three (3) feet below a sprinkler and placed central to each sprinkler quadrant.

⚠ ATTENTION: Sprinkler Systems and Code Compliance. Prior to installing fans, review all

codes applicable to sprinkler systems and fans to ensure code compliance. Refer to the wiring

diagrams packaged inside the control panel for proper installation. If further advice is needed,

you may contact our support staff, however it is your sole responsibility to see that the

installation is completed to code and correct.

General Information on Fan Placement and Spacing

⚠ ATTENTION: Strobe and Performance. If possible, avoid mounting fans directly below lights

or skylights to avoid any strobe effect caused by moving blades. A large fan, 20-24 feet in

diameter, performs best at 20 to 30 feet above the floor, but acceptable performance has been

demonstrated as low as 10 feet and as high as 50 feet.

⚠ WARNING: Mezzanine Placement. If the building has a mezzanine, fans should be mounted

so a person cannot reach a fan in any way from the upper level/deck. Make certain that fans are

positioned so that blade tips are at least three (3) feet away from any area where a person may

be able to extend outward to reach them.

⚠ WARNING: Oscillating Movement. If unusual oscillating movement is observed, immediately

stop using the ceiling fan and contact the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualified

persons.

REFER TO FAN INSTALLATION MANUAL(S) FOR FURTHER MAINTENANCE INFORMATION.
