A. Be sure the power to the existing ceiling electric box is turned off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
B. The DiskFan® weighs a maximum of 20 pounds with the glass globes and bulbs and is supported by the Ceiling Electric Outlet Box. Be sure the Ceiling Box is fastened to the structural members with the equivalent of two #8x3/4” wood screws. Be sure that all of the wires in the Ceiling Box have their ends protected with twist-on connectors or are properly taped to prevent electrical shocks.
C. Place the Ceiling Protection Plate (39) against the ceiling with the large center hole and screw holes aligned over the Ceiling Box. Install neoprene spacer washers between the Ceiling Box ears and the plate to fill any space. (It may be necessary to add small # 10 metal washers if the space exceeds ¼ inch. The metal washers are not provided). Insert the 8-32x3/4" screws into the ceiling box screw holes and tighten to hold Ceiling Protection Plate into place. Drill four 1/8" holes thru the four holes that are spaced 8½ inches apart on the Ceiling Protection Plate (39).See Fig. 2).
D. Remove the two 8-32x3/4" screws from the ceiling box screw holes and leave the neoprene spacer washers in place. Take the 1/8" I.Px2" Nipple (41), the 2 1/8" IP Hex Brass Nuts (28) and the Ceiling Box Strap (40) from the plastic bag of small parts. Screw one of the nuts onto the nipple about ¼". Then screw the nipple into the Ceiling Box Strap (40) and tighten the nut against the strap. Use one of the 8-32 x 3/4" screws (50) to fasten one end of the Ceiling Box Strap (40) to the ceiling electrical box. Do not tighten. (See Fig. 3 & 4)
E. Be sure the three electric wires, white, black and green/ground are extending down from the Protection Ceiling Plate (39).
F. Take the DiskFan® and hang it from the Ceiling Box Strap (40) using the Installation Suspension Cord (38). Then install the second 8-32x3/4" screw (50) to fasten the loose end of the Ceiling Box Strap (40) to the ceiling electrical box. Tighten both 8-32x3/4" screws to provide a grounding connection between the Ceiling Protection Plate and the ceiling electrical box. (See Fig. 5). The neoprene spacer washers should still be between the ceiling electric box ears and the ceiling protection plate.
G. Connect the green Ceiling Protection Plate ground wire to the green ground wire from the DiskFan® and the ground wire from the Ceiling Box with a Twist-on Wire Connector (46). Then connect the DiskFan white wire to the white wire from the Ceiling Electrical Box with a Twist-on Wire Connectors (46) and repeat the procedure with the two black wires.
H. Slide the DiskFan® upward to the ceiling and the 1/8" IP Nipple attached to the Ceiling Electrical Box Strap (40) and align with the hole in the Duct Cap (36) of the DiskFan®. Push the DiskFan® upward so that the Nipple (41) extends thru the Duct Cap (36) hole and down thru the hole in the heavy Fan Support Bracket (14). Check to see that all of the wires and the Support Cord (38) are inside the Fixture Base. Then push the DiskFan® against the ceiling and screw the remaining 1/8" IP Hex Brass Nut (28) onto the protruding nipple and hand tighten. (See Fig. 6)
I. Check the alignment of the DiskFan® to see if it looks proper in the room. Rotate the DiskFan® as necessary.
J. Using a socket wrench, tighten the hex nut until the DiskFan® is firmly against the ceiling but do not over tighten.
K. Re-install the fan and motor unit by first plugging the motor cord into the DiskFan® receptacle. (See Fig. 7). Then tip the unit and slide the motor support ring between the three support legs that have the copper rivets. Align the 3 rubber motor mounts over the copper rivets and pull the motor unit down over the copper rivets. (See Fig. 8)
L. Remove a Foam Filter (34) from its plastic package and stretch it over the Filter Support Spacer. (See Fig. 10 & 11)
M. Snap the Guard Grill (35) onto the bottom plate of the DiskFan®. (See Fig. 12)
N. Turn the power back on at the service panel. Then turn the fan on by pulling the switch on the left side of the LED Indicator Light (33). This is a 3 position switch for high speed, low speed and off. The indicator light is bright at high speed, dim at low speed and out at off.
O. The light switch is to the right of the LED Indicator Light if the DiskFan® has fitters for lamps. It is an OFF-ON Switch. It controls all of the lights.
P. Attach extension chains to the pull chain switches and cut off to the desired length.
Q. The DiskFan® installation is complete.
OPERATION
- If the DiskFan® is furnished with Fitters, the next step is to install the Lighting Glassware into each Fitter by tightening the three Holder Screws on each fitter to engage the groove in the neck of the Glassware. Each screw should extend an equal distance against the glassware. Only tighten the screws with the fingers. Glassware can be purchased as a separate item from www.diskfan.com.
- After the Lighting Glassware is installed, the lamps need to be carefully screwed into each porcelain socket. THE MAXIMUM LAMP WATTAGE IS 60 WATTS. The lamps can be either incandescent or florescent. The lamps are provided by the customer.
- Turn on the fan section of the DiskFan® which has a two speed fan motor. The fan switch is to the left of the red indicator light. Pull the fan switch once and the indicator light comes on bright and the fan is operating at full speed. Pull the fan switch a second time and the indicator light dims and the fan is operating at low speed. Pull the fan switch a third time and the indicator light goes out and the fan stops. Pulling the fan switch again repeats the above sequence.
- Check the light fixture section of the DiskFan® by pulling the chain on the light switch to the right of the indicator light. This will turn the lights on. Pulling the light switch a second time turns the lights off. The indicator light is not connected to the light circuit.
