CANARM AX & P Series Exhaust Fans
Product Information
- The AX & P Series Exhaust Fans are sturdy and reliable models designed for ventilation purposes in hazardous areas. The AX Series features a rugged, sturdily constructed housing made from all aluminum extrusions. The louvers open automatically when the fan starts up and close when the fan stops. On the other hand, the P Series is a sturdily constructed panel-mounted exhaust fan made with a durable powder-coated finish. Both models come equipped with single-speed explosion-proof motors and aluminum blades that prevent sparks from occurring if a metal object obstructs the blade path.
- Canarm explosion-proof fans are designed to meet hazardous classifications such as:
- Class 1, Division 1 (Gases, Vapors)
- Class 2, Division 1 (Combustible Dusts)
- However, the fans do not meet Class 1, Division 1 (Gases, Vapors) for Group C and Group D hazardous areas.
Product Usage Instructions
Please read the instructions completely before installation and save them for reference.
- Step 1: A sturdy framed wall opening should be prepared in advance to the size indicated for your fan in the charts provided.
- Step 2: With lag bolts for wooden frames or nut, bolt, and lock washers for steel frames, secure the fan using the four mounting holes provided, one in each corner of the fan.
Note: Explosion-proof fans should be used to ventilate hazardous areas where the atmosphere contains or may contain gas, vapor, or dust in explosive quantities.
Warranty: Canarm Ltd. warrants every new fan to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. In case of alteration, accident, abuse, neglect, and operation not in accordance with instructions, the warranty is null and void. No warranty claims will be honored by Canarm Ltd. unless prior authorization is obtained.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR AX & P SERIES EXHAUST FANS
READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLATION & SAVE FOR REFERENCE
Congratulations on the purchase of your quality built direct drive, wall
exhaust ventilation fan. All of these models use totally enclosed motors with
thermal overload protection. Variable speed motors are high efficiency motors
which save on electrical costs and can be run as a single speed motor. The
motors are mounted on heavy gauge welded steel rod motor mounts that have a
Bright Zinc finish. 30” fans and larger have powder coated guards. Fans come
fully assembled and 100% of fans are tested for proper operation before
shipping.
THESE ARE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS WHICH COVER OUR SINGLE, VARIABLE AND TWO SPEED
AX & P FANS, AS WELL AS OUR SINGLE SPEED EXPLOSION PROOF MODELS.
AX SERIES FANS:
These models have a rugged, sturdily constructed housing made from all
aluminum extrusions. The louvers open automatically when the fan starts up and
close when the fan stops.

INSTALLATION
Installation is fast and simple. A sturdy framed wall opening should be prepared in advance to the size indicated for your fan in the charts above. With lag bolts for wooden frames or nut, bolt and lock washers for steel frames, secure the fan using the four mounting holes provided, one in each corner of the fan.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: BE SURE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BEFORE WIRING.
WARNING: ALL ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
These fans are supplied with single, two or variable speed motors. Single and
two speed motors are 120V only. Variable speed motors are dual voltage. All
dual voltage motors are pre-wired at 240V in our factory. Rewire motor as per
motor nameplate if running fan at 120V. Please see the motor nameplate for
wiring diagram. Make electrical connections in motor connection box as per the
motor nameplate. Follow Chart #1 for wire sizes. Two speed fans require a two
speed control or 3 position toggle switch to change from high/low/off. See
wiring diagram with control for 2 speed wiring instructions.

• Above wire sizes based on approximate 5% voltage drop during starting: copper conductors: and 75°C type THHW, THW, THWN, RH, RHW insulation etc. For aluminum wire, increase two wire size steps minimum. See NEC Article 310 for ampacities of aluminum conductors.
• Type S, SO, SJ, SJO, etc. flexible cable wire sizes. See NEC article 400 for ampacity.
If your unit contains the ECsmart Motor please follow these wiring diagrams:
OPERATION
-
WARNING: VARIABLE SPEED FANS SHOULD HAVE THE MINIMUM SPEED SET TO OPEN LOUVERS AT LEAST ONE INCH FOR PROPER MOTOR COOLING AND TO PREVENT MOTOR FAILURE.
All fans are direct drive. Fans with variable speed motors can be operated as an energy efficient single speed fan or in variable operation with the proper controller. As mentioned above two speed fans require a two speed control or 3 position toggle switch to change from high speed to low and off. -
WARNING: GUARDING SHOULD BE USED IF FANS ARE MOUNTED LOWER THAN SEVEN FEET (2 METRES) OFF FLOOR OR GROUND LEVEL.
ACCESSORIES
Canarm provides a complete line of manual and thermostatic controls. Canarm also offers wall mount exhaust shutter kits, replacement shutter sets, and weather protection hoods.
MAINTENANCE
MOTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MAY RESTART WITHOUT WARNING. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING SERVICE. Motor, blade and louvers should be kept clean of any buildup to prevent premature motor failure and to achieve proper performance. Automatic louvers should be kept operating freely.
