Electrical guidelines
If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the installation of electrical components, do not attempt to install the
fan without an electrician. This guide is merely a recommendation of proper installation.
☐ Ensure power wiring is routed to a junction box at the fan location prior to installation.
☐ Refer to the Technical Specifications section and fan label for appropriate circuit requirements for your fan.
☐ To reduce the risk of electric shock, wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect assembly
can cause electric shock or damage to the motor or controller.
☐ The electrical installation of the fan must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
2014, if applicable, and all local codes.
☐ See the Wiring Diagrams & Electrical Guidelines section for detailed electrical requirements.

Location and clearance guidelines

Before beginning installation, check that the building structure and fan location meet Big Ass Solutions' safety
guidelines by confirming the below requirements. If a fan application does not meet these requirements, contact
Customer Service to discuss alternative installations or other fan options.
☐ The fan must be installed so that it is plumb to the ground.
☐ All fan parts must be ≥ 2 ft (61 cm) from all obstructions and ≥ 3 ft (91 cm) below sprinklers. The fan installation
area must be free of obstructions such as lights, cables, or other building structure components.
☐ The fan must be installed so that it is ≥ 10 ft (3 m) above the finished floor.
☐ Multiple fans must be spaced at a center-to-center distance that is no less than 2.5x the fan diameter.
☐ If mounting the fan in the vicinity of an infrared/radiant heater, Big Ass Solutions recommends that the fan be
mounted outside of the clearances recommended by the manufacturer of the heater and at a height equal to or
above the shielding on the heating element with the controller on the opposite side of the heater. If mounting
the fan below the heater shielding, all fan elements must be outside of the clearances recommended by the
heater manufacturer. The installation manual for the specific model of heater will typically provide the minimum
clearance to combustibles (MCC).
