• To ensure proper balance, do not mix up blades with those from another fan as they are a matched set.
• Transport and transit handling may loosen factory fitted cables. Please check and secure terminal screws before installation Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage

Protecting the Fan

HAZARD OF PRODUCT DAMAGE

Do not place the motor directly onto a flat surface.
The plastic nipple underneath the motor cannot support the weight of the motor and may be easily damaged. When working on the fan, place the motor on the foam packaging
with the nipple located in one of the recesses. This protects the nipple and the finish. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage

Controlling a Single Fan

This fan has been supplied with a Clipsal Three-Speed Controller that is designed to operate a single fan.

Multiple Fans on a Single Controller

Where multiple fans are required to be operated from a single controller, a Clipsal C-ThruTM Electronic Fan Controller
(purchased separately) must be used.

NOTICE

HAZARD OF INCORRECT USAGE
The three-speed fan controller supplied with each fan is not suitable for controlling multiple fans. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage

1.0 Mounting the Fan Support Bracket

WARNING

LOCATION HAZARD

Select a suitable location to mount the fan support bracket.
The mounting bracket must be fixed to a solid structural member, such as a ceiling joist or a securely fixed noggin, and be capable of supporting 15 kg.
Additionally, it is recommended to provide the blade with a minimum clearance from the floor of 2.1m, and from other obstructions of at least 300mm. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage

3.0 Connecting the Light Fitting

If you are attaching a light fitting to the fan, do so prior to hanging the fan.
NOTE: Clipper Light or Oyster Light may be installed in fans that are constructed for this purpose.

Unscrew the plastic nipple from the bottom of the motor housing.
Pull out the light wires from the motor housing for connection with the lamp holder.
Insert the light wires through the adaptor, then screw the adaptor into the motor shaft.
Connect the light wires to the lamp holder then screw the lamp holder and the adaptor together firmly.

4.0 Hanging the Fan

Hangsure Bracket
Position the ball-joint in the bracket so that the guide pin on the bracket engages in the slot in the ball-joint.

HAZARD OF CEILING DAMAGE
For j-hook brackets, leave a 5-10mm gap between the ceiling and cowling. It’s normal for the cowling to move slightly when the fan is running. This gap prevents damaging the painted
ceiling and prevents ticking or clicking noises. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage

5.0 Connecting the Fan

All Airflow Ceiling Sweep Fans are pre-wired to allow for a light to be fitted onto the fan.
If you are not fitting a light to the fan, please disregard the light wires. The wires are connected to the incoming wiring as illustrated in the below diagram.
Means for all pole disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

6.0 Connecting the Speed Controller

All Airflow Ceiling Sweep Fans come complete with a three-speed flush fitting capacitor controller. This controller fits to standard 84mm fixing centres, the same as a normal switch or power point. Although supplied standard in the vertical format, the mechanism can be rotated 90° to provide a horizontal format if required. To ensure that the “off” position of the switch is at the top when installed, the mechanism must be installed into the plate with the three screw heads pointing upwards. The mechanism must be fully “clipped” into the plate from the rear. Three is the highest speed, one is the lowest.

Remove switch surround.
Terminate cables as illustrated in the below diagram.
Active to common and switched active to terminal one.
Fix controller to wallbox or bracket using screws provided.
Screws may need to be shortened for some applications.
Replace switch surround.

7.0 Connecting the Speed Controller with a Light Switch

8.0 Operating Instructions

Turn the knob to speed three (top position). This will start the blades spinning.
Once the blades are spinning you can select a lower speed if desired.
The speed setting is always located at the top position of the knob as illustrated below.

Summer/Winter Settings

The forward/reversible switch is located on the bottom cowl.

Check switch and make sure it is in correct setting, depending on cold weather or hot weather. Cold weather: Push switch down for the blades to circulate the warm air trapped near the ceiling. Hot weather: Push switch up for the blades to create a breeze and circulate the air.
NOTE:
The forward/reversible switch must be fully engaged for the fan to operate.

Cleaning Instructions

To clean the fan, wipe over with a damp, soapy cloth. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners.

Fan will not switch on.

Switch off the fan. Then check the following:
forward/reverse switch on fan motor not fully engaged in desired setting
connections not as per installation diagram
fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped or there is a power failure. Fan will not operate at varying speed control settings.
Controller connections not as per page 3. Ticking, rattling, mechanical noises.
Ensure all screws and bolts are tight.
Ensure the mounting assembly is secure.
Ensure the lower canopy is clear of the motor.
With hook mount models, ensure the top canopy is clear of the ceiling by 5 to 10mm to allow for slight movement of the fan.
Ensure the wires are not tapping against the canopy.
