Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient product performance.

Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 10 feet from floor to the blade and 18 inches from wall to the blade. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 11-12 feet from floor to the blade for optimal airflow. Consult your Fanimation Retailer for optional mounting accessories.

Turn Off When Not in the Room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round

Summer Season: Use the ceiling fan in the clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less energy.

Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the counterclockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan-additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

Electrical and Structural Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 HZ, 15 Amp Circuit. Electrical code requires use of a fan-rated outlet box to support the extra weight and motion associated with a ceiling fan. A fan-rated box will be labeled as such and typically supports up to a 70lbs ceiling fan. Fan-Rated Outlet Boxes vary in ratings and design. Ensure the ratings of your ceiling fan outlet box meet the requirements for the ceiling fan being installed. Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 depicts different structural configurations that may be used for mounting the outlet box.

Low profile box (Figure 1)
A 1/2-in.-deep pancake box is meant to be screwed to a joist or block. It’s used if only one cable is coming into the box. It is also available in a saddle-mount configuration.

Deep box (Figure 2)
A 2-1/4-in.-deep box can be attached to blocking between joists and is roomy enough to handle more than one cable.

Deep box with brace (Figure 3) Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to span between two joists and takes the place of wooden blocking.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of luminaires are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.

WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.

WARNING
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described in these instructions should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.

WARNING
Do not operate this fan with a variable (Rheostat) wall controller or dimmer switch. Doing so could result in damage to the ceiling fan’s remote control unit.

How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

1.  Remove the hanger ball portion from the downrod/ hanger ball assembly by loosening the set screw in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod. Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 6. (Figure 1)

2. Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the bottom of the downrod. Retain the pin and clip for reinstallation in Step 4. (Figure 2)

3. Loosen the two set screws and locking nuts in the downrod support of the motor assembly. Route the black, white, red, blue wires and safety cable through the downrod. (Figure 3)

4. Slide downrod into the downrod support on top of the motor. Install the clevis pin by aligning the holes in the downrod support with holes in the downrod. Secure clevis pin with hairpin clip. Install and tighten the two set screws with nuts in the downrod support. (Figure 4)

WARNING
It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support is properly installed and the set screws and nuts are securely tightened. Failure to do so could result in the fan falling.

5. Route wires and safety cable through motor coupling cover, canopy screw cover and ceiling canopy. (Figure 5)

6. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod as follows. Route the black, white, red, blue wires and safety cable through the hanger ball. Position the pin through the two holes in the downrod and align the hanger ball so the pin is captured in the groove in the top of the hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the pin. Securely tighten the set screw in the hanger ball. A loose set screw could create fan wobble. (Figure 6)

7. Cut off excess lead wire approximately 6 to 9 inches above top of the downrod. Strip insulation off 1/2 inch from the end of each lead wire. (Figure 7)

CAUTION
All set screws must be checked, and retightened where necessary before installation.

8. Remove one of the two shoulder screws in the hanger bracket and retain the screw for later. Loosen the second shoulder screw without fully removing it. (Figure 8)

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

WARNING
To avoid possible fire or shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before hanging. (Figure 1)
