Application Examples
- Warehouses and distribution centers with high ceilings where heated/cooled air stratifies.
- Gymnasiums and recreational facilities needing uniform floor-to-ceiling temperatures.
- Industrial and manufacturing spaces with overhead HVAC stratification.
- Commercial spaces where reduced heating/cooling energy use is a priority.
Installation Tips
- Confirm a 120V, 15A-rated circuit and that the 6' cord / 3-prong plug reaches the outlet.
- Mount with the supplied 2 x 10' quick-attached toggle steel cable + beam clamp for overhead rigging.
- Use the 12" threaded rod and metal self-tapping anchor where ceiling attachment to structure is required.
- Wire the optional AVS-5115 or AVS-8115 120V AC speed control (sold separately) for variable-speed operation.
- Position the fan for ceiling-to-floor airflow that maximizes thermal mixing across the occupied zone.
- All installation work should comply with local electrical codes and be performed by a licensed electrician.
