Chapter 1: Safety Precautions

Lifting Hazard

• Single person lift can cause injury.

• Use a mechanical lifting device to lift or move the equipment

during installation.

ST-0021–2

Explosion Hazard

• The fan is not designed for use in atmospheres where the

risk of explosion is present.

• Do not use the fan in enclosed areas of high dust

concentrations, flammable gas, vapors or fumes.

ST-0022–1

Keep Hands Away from Moving Parts

• Do not operate the fan with electrical or mechanical guards

removed. Serious injury or death can result.

• Do not put hand or arm in fan. Rotating parts can crush and

dismember.

• Do not put any kind of tool inside the fan to clear debris

while the fan is operating. Damage to the equipment will

result.

• Lock-out power source before making adjustments,

cleaning, or maintaining equipment.

ST-0020–2

Install and Operate Equipment Properly

• The fan described in this manual is designed solely for the

purpose of ventilating agricultural buildings. Use of the fan in

any other way is a misuse of the equipment and may

endanger health and safety.

Chapter 1: Safety Precautions

Install and Operate Fan Properly

• Electrical controls and wiring must be installed by a qualified

electrician and must meet the standards set by the National

Electric Code, Canadian Electrical Code, and all local and

state codes. The fan must be installed and maintained by a

qualified person familiar with the use and function of

ventilation fans.

• Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning,

or maintaining equipment.

• Do not operate fan unless the motor is properly grounded.

Grounding can be achieved by wiring with a grounded

conduit or a separate ground wire attached to the motor

ground lug.

• Do not operate the fan by bypassing any safety device on

the unit.

• Do not kink power cables and do not allow cables to come

into contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.

• Motor overload protection must be provided with each single

phase fan. A circuit breaker or slow blow motor type fuse

must be used. A safety cut-off switch must be located

adjacent to each fan.

• Fans used to ventilate livestock buildings and other rooms

where continuous air movement is essential must be

connected to individual electrical circuits with a minimum of

two (2) circuits per room.

• Installation of supplementary natural ventilation, back-up

thermostat and an alarm system on at least one cooling

stage is recommended. See diagram on motor nameplate

and information provided with fan control (if used) for

connection requirements.

ST-0018–2

Sharp Edge Hazard

• This product has sharp edges, which can cause serious

injury.

• To avoid injury, handle sharp edges with caution and always

use proper protective clothing and equipment.

Chapter 1: Safety Precautions

Maintain Equipment and Work Area

• Do not attempt maintenance or repairs on the fan unless you

are competent to do so. Understand service procedures

before doing work.

• Use only genuine Cumberland parts when maintaining the

fan. Use of other non-genuine parts is a misuse and can lead

to dangerous situations.

• Be aware that the fan may operate under automatic control

and may start without warning.

• Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning,

or maintaining equipment.

• Keep area clean and dry.

• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.

• Keep the fan in proper working condition. Replace worn or

broken parts immediately.

• Keep the fan clean. Do not allow debris to collect around

motors, belts, pulleys or bearings.

• Make sure that all electrical enclosures and guards are

closed and locked before re-starting the fan.

General Description

This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the

Commander Series Fans. This manual should be read thoroughly before attempting any installation or

use of the fan. Keep this manual in a location that it can be readily accessible. Failure to read the manual

and its safety instructions constitutes misuse of the product.

Correct Use of Your Commander Series Fan

1. The fan is designed solely for the purpose of ventilating agricultural buildings. Use of the fan in any

other way is a misuse of the equipment and may endanger your’s or another person’s safety and

health.

2. In the installation and use of the fan, only genuine AP/Cumberland parts are to be used. Use of

other non-genuine parts is a misuse and may lead to dangerous situations.

3. This fan is not designed for use in atmospheres where the risk of explosion is foreseen. Such

environments may include enclosed areas of high dust concentrations, gas, vapors and fumes. Use

in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact AP/Cumberland or your dealer.

Harmonic Mitigation Methods

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL UTILITY STATEMENT REGARDING FREQUENCY DRIVEN ELECTRIC

MOTORS:

Installing the numerous frequency drives in the same agricultural building can cause a phenomenon

called Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). THD can damage a buildings incoming transformers and

incoming power supply systems, damage the Commander Fan products and even damage

non-frequency drive related products such as feed motors throughout your agricultural building.

In order to mitigate/eliminate harmonic reflections from the VFD’s back into the utilities power supply

electricians should install line reactors which are recommended at each drive. If a group of drives are to

be mounted together they can be fed from one line reactor which would need to be correctly sized for the

particular number of frequency drives connected to that particular line reactor. In the event all drives are

being fed from one main panel and no other circuits for any other devices are fed from that one panel,

then a single line reactor appropriately sized can be used. Please consult your local utility for proper

sizing and placement of line reactors.

Chapter 3: Assembly

Framing and Positioning

Before You Begin

Make sure that you have enough rough opening and there is enough space so that the fan flanges do not

overlap.

CAUTION

Lifting hazard. Single person lift could cause injury. Use two or more people or a

mechanical lifting device to lift/move heavy equipment.

1. Construct the frame opening to the correct size as listed in the below table. Refer to the below

image for details.

NOTE: Remember that the framing must be able to support the weight of the fan assembly. Ensure

the load bearing portion of the bottom sill is rigid and properly supported.

2. Position the fan in front of the opening from the inside. Using a minimum of two people, lift fan

housing into the opening.

3. Check the fan for vertical position before screwing flanges down. Fasten flanges to framework with

the wood mounting screws. The fan housing should now be flush and level inside of the framing.

4. Plan the layout and spacing of fans with cones; spacing fans too close together will cause

interference with the cones.

5. The frame opening for a 54 in. plastic cone is similar to the 54 in. fiberglass cone. Refer to the

instructions of Framing and Positioning, page 18 for details.

6. Additionally, a shelter is needed for the 54 in. plastic cone as shown below.

WARNING

You must provide shelter over cones in areas where snow or ice could cause

damage to the fan. The warranty Does Not cover damage from external sources.
