Caution & Safety
Key Safety System Components
EnergyLogic fans are engineered with key safety features to prevent pieces of the fan from
falling in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure. Used together, these features provide
comprehensive protection of people, equipment and property. Follow the detailed instructions
precisely when installing fans, including the following:
• Install the safety cable on EVERY fan. The safety cable, if installed per EnergyLogic
specications, will prevent the fan from falling in the unlikely event that the mounting
system should fail. An EnergyLogic fan should never be run without a properly installed
safety cable, which is supplied with every fan along with all required hardware. You must
install a safety cable for the warranty to be in effect.
• Install guy wires on every fan, unless otherwise specied. Properly installing the guy wires
is required for proper stabilization during normal operation for all fan and mounting types
(Fixed Angle and Universal Mounts). In addition, guy wires keep the fan stable in case of
earthquakes or in “outdoor” installations where high wind conditions may occur.
Mark the Floor to Alert Personnel
When mounting a fan in an area where materials may be elevated into its path, EnergyLogic
recommends marking or painting the oor with a large cross-hatched circle to alert personnel of
the overhead location of fans.
Weight Considerations
Ensure the xing means for attachment to the ceiling such as hooks or other devices shall be
xed with a sufcient strength to withstand 4 times the weight of the ceiling fan. The maximum
hanging weight for the AirVolution-D3 is 121 lbs [55 kg]. If there is any uncertainty in the
strength of the building structure, a professional structural engineer should perform a thorough
evaluation of the building prior to purchasing the fans. EnergyLogic provides guidelines for
mounting fans; however, it is the sole responsibility of the building owner and installer to ensure
the safety of the mounting system, that the building structure is sound and that the installation
complies with all federal, state, and local codes.
Torque
The maximum torque (twisting force) during normal operation that must be handled by the
mounting system, including the building structure. For a AirVolution-D3, the maximum potential
torque is 100 ft-lbs [136 N-m].
Check Federal, State, and Local Codes
Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certications, product listings, and
building regulations are met. Code compliance is the responsibility of the installer.
Windy Conditions
Fans should not be operated when wind is present.
