HVLS fan VFDs are configured for Modbus RTU communication as standard. The Modbus register list is for
applications where a building management system (BMS) or field-supplied control are to be used for fan operation.
A baud rate of 19200 bps and a device polling delay of 260 ms are recommended for network functionality.

HVLS Installation Checklist
Quick Start

Project Name: __________________________________________________________________________________________

Guide

Name of Installer’s Company: ____________________________________________________________________________

Serial Number(s) of Fan(s): _______________________________________________________________________________

Information
General

The following checklist provides an overview of typical installation and troubleshooting procedures but is not
intended to replace the installation, operation, and maintenance (IOM) manuals provided with the fan and control. To
Pre-Installation

ensure a positive outcome, please read and follow all provided instructions including those found in this checklist,
the fan and controls IOMs, and any other written instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Pre-Installation Checks
 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) Manual – I have read the IOM and all other provided
Mechanical
Installation

instructions before beginning installation.

 Receiving and Inspection – All fan components have been received and are undamaged.

 Fan Clearances – The fan will be installed in a location that complies with the following minimum
clearances:
Fire System
Integration

 Airfoils will be installed a minimum of 10 feet above finished floor.

 Airfoils will be installed with a minimum horizontal and vertical clearance of 3 feet to any obstructions.

 Center of fan will be a minimum of 1.5 times the fan diameter away from building walls and corners.
Installation

 Center of fan will be a minimum of 3 times the fan diameter away from center of adjacent fan(s).
Electrical

 Airfoil tips will be a minimum of 2 times the fan diameter away from radiant heaters and HVAC
discharges or intakes.

 NFPA 13 Compliance – If the building is equipped with a fire suppression system, the fan will be installed in
a location that complies with the following:
Networking
Fan

 Fan will be installed in the center of four adjacent sprinkler heads.

 Fan will be installed with at least 3 feet of vertical clearance between airfoils and sprinkler deflectors.

 Fan will be interlocked with fire suppression system to shut down upon receiving a waterflow signal.
Operation And
Maintenance

 Structural Suitability – A structural engineer has verified that the mounting surface will bear the operating
weight and maximum torque (twisting force) of the fan as listed in the IOM.

Quick Start
Mechanical Installation

Guide
 Fan Mounting – Fan is mounted in accordance with the instructions found in the IOM.

 Safety Cable and Guy Wires – Safety cable and guy wires (if provided) are installed in accordance with the
instructions found in the IOM.

Information
General
 Airfoils and Winglets – Airfoils and winglets are installed in accordance with the instructions found in the
IOM.

 Hardware – Fan is installed using only Greenheck-supplied hardware or hardware (by others) that complies
with the specifications indicated for each component in the IOM.

Pre-Installation
 Torque – All applicable hardware is torqued to the appropriate value indicated in the IOM.

Electrical Installation
 Source Power Quality – An experienced electrician has confirmed that the building’s source power

Mechanical
Installation
complies with the power quality requirements indicated in the IOM or has installed external power line filters
(by others) if required.

 Source Power Voltage – An experienced electrician has verified that the source power voltage measured
from leg-to-leg and leg-to-ground at the input power terminals on each fan’s VFD are within acceptable
tolerances. Measured voltages have also been recorded for future reference.

Fire System
Integration
 Motor Cables – The motor power, motor ground, and hall cables have been plugged into the VFD circuit
board as shown in the IOM.

 Shielded CAT-5e Cable – Fan is installed using only Greenheck-supplied CAT-5e cable or shielded CAT-
5e cable that complies with the specifications included in the IOM. Individual CAT-5e cable lengths do not
exceed 200 feet.

Installation
Electrical
 CAT-5e Cable Functionality – All CAT-5e cables have been tested for functionality (including continuity of
the shield) using a CAT-5e cable tester or multimeter and needle probes.

 Networking and Wiring – All required network wiring and dipswitch modifications have been completed on
each fan’s VFD as indicated in the “Fan Networking” section of the IOM.

Networking
 Communications Test – Communications have been tested at each fan’s VFD as indicated below:

Fan
1. Unplug fan from RJ45 splitter at the top of the fan’s downtube.

2. Adjust dipswitches on dipswitch bank 2 to OFF - ON - ON (down - up - up).

Operation And
Maintenance

3. Measure DC voltage across DATA+ and DATA- terminals on fan’s VFD. Measured voltage should be
4.5 – 5.5V.

4. Reset dipswitches on dipswitch bank 2 as shown in the IOM and reconnect the fan to the RJ45 splitter
to return fan to service.
Troubleshooting

 24V Test – 24V power supply has been tested at each fan’s VFD by measuring DC voltage across 24V and
GND terminals. Measured voltage should be 23-24V.

 Controls – Controls have been installed in a safe environment for the specific control model.

 Fire Alarm Relay – If the building is equipped with a fire suppression system, the Greenheck supplied fire
alarm relays have been installed and tested by qualified personnel who are familiar with the operation of
Reference

building fire suppression systems.

Start-Up Checks
 Airfoil Rotation – Rotate airfoils by hand to ensure that the fan rotates freely and there are no rubbing
components.

 Fan Operation – When the fan is operating, ensure that there is no unusual noise or vibration.
Information
General

 Inspection – After 30 minutes of operation, inspect all fasteners and guy wires for tightness. Retighten if
necessary.

 Controls – Ensure that controls have identified the correct number of fans and that all fans are operating
Pre-Installation

properly.

 Faults – Ensure that no faults are being registered on the controls.

Photos
 Overall Fan Installation – I have taken a photo showing the entire fan (mount, downtube, motor, and airfoils)
Mechanical
Installation

for at least one representative fan at the jobsite. Photo has been saved for future reference.

 Fan Mounting – I have taken a photo showing a close-up view of the fan mounting (including connections to
the building structure) for at least one representative fan. Photo has been saved for future reference.

 Safety Cable and Guy Wires - I have taken photos showing close-up views of the installed safety cable and
Fire System
Integration

guy wires for at least one representative fan. Photos have been saved for future reference.

 VFD Circuit Boards – If multiple fans are being operated by a single control, I have taken a photo showing
a close-up view of the VFD circuit board for the first and second fans in the daisy-chain. Photos have been
saved for future reference.
Installation

 Shielded CAT-5e Cable – I have taken a photo showing that fans were installed using only Greenheck-
Electrical

supplied CAT-5e cable or shielded CAT-5e cable that complies with the specifications included in the IOM.
Photo has been saved for future reference.

By signing this document, I confirm that all HVLS fans have been installed according to the instructions detailed in
Networking

the IOM and that I have verified all of the above information.
