• Motors: Permanent Magnet Motors are available up to 25 hp, while NEMA Frame Premium Efficient Induction motors are available starting at 7.5 hp. Permanent Magnet Motors come with a speed controller programmed to the specified RPM and tested before shipment. Premium Efficient Induction Motors can be provided with an optional Variable Frequency Drive for easy field system balancing.

Options & Accessories

• Discharge Windband: Included as part of the rooftop upblast design to protect butterfly dampers from cross winds.
• Curb Cap with Integral Lifting Lugs: Included as part of the rooftop upblast design for curb mounting and includes integral lifting lugs.

SOUND PERFORMANCE

The sound power level ratings shown are in decibels, calculated per AMCA International Standard 301. The A-weighted sound ratings shown have been calculated per AMCA International Standard 301. Values shown are for inlet LWI and inlet LWIA sound power levels for installation Type B: free inlet, ducted outlet. Ratings include the effects of duct end correction. A-weighted sound pressure levels (dBA), are based on an 11.5 dB attenuation per octave band at 5 feet from the fan in a hemispherical field, and are not certified by AMCA.
