When mounting a fan in an area where objects may be lifted or moved into the path of the fan, Canarm recommends marking or painting hash lines on the floor to alert personnel of the above movement of the fan.
The maximum torque that must be handed by the mounting system and the building structure will occur at the fans startup. For a 8 foot fan, maximum potential startup torque is 300 ft-lbs. Canarm fans use a soft-start technology which allows the rpm to ramp up as desired over 60 seconds. The event of this max torque being applied is unlikely and will only apply due to a failure of the variable frequency drive and its soft start technology.
PREPARING THE WORK SITE 4.1 Mechanical Installation A 8’ (2.4m) Tri-Lite 3LMPEC fan (largest MP Series model) weighs, at maximum, 100 lbs (45 kg). A scissor lift, or other suitable means for lifting and a minimum of two installation personnel, will be required.
état, et capable de supporter des charges de jusqu’à 650 lb (295 kg). Il est de la seule responsabilité du client de vérifier que la structure du bâtiment est suffisante pour l’installation du ventilateur. Canarm recommande de consulter un ingénieur en structure avant d’attiser installation.
