Fan Operation

35
To start the fan, press the control knob on the controller. Note: When power is
applied, the LED indicator at the bottom of the controller is lit. The LED will flash an
error code if there is a problem with the fan. See page 42 for LED error codes.
To stop the fan, press the control knob.
To increase fan speed, turn the control knob clockwise toward the plus (+) symbol.
To decrease fan speed, turn the control knob counterclockwise toward the minus (-)
symbol.
Note: The fan may take 30–60 seconds to start rotating after it is turned on. It is
normal to see "cogging" (abrupt direction changes) as the fan positions itself relative
to the motor stator.

Moving at a low speed means less energy used for operation, translating into more energy savings year-round. Follow the procedures
below to ensure the most efficient operation of your Big Ass Fan.
To ensure proper fan rotation:
1. Turn on the fan.
2. Verify that the fan is rotating in the counterclockwise direction (when viewed from below).
3. If the fan is not rotating counterclockwise, reverse the fan direction.
Heating season
In spaces with higher ceilings, Essence fans return heat from the ceiling to floor level more efficiently than smaller ceiling fans. For
®
maximum energy savings, the fan should be operated continuously during the heating season and should not be operated in reverse
(clockwise). Big Ass Fans are designed to operate efficiently at very low speeds, so turning the fan very slowly in the forward direction
(counterclockwise) will provide enough air movement to circulate the hot air at the ceiling down to the floor without causing a draft.
Stand directly below the tips of the airfoils with hand outstretched. If you feel a draft, slightly decrease the fan speed. Repeat until the
draft is no longer noticeable.
Cooling season
The cooling effect created by the breeze from Essence fans keeps occupants comfortable with the thermostat at a higher setting.
During the cooling season, every degree higher that the thermostat is reset reduces the energy consumed by the air conditioner by
1.5–2%. To minimize energy usage during the cooling season, operate the fan only when building occupants are present.
Increase the speed of the fan until desired air speed or maximum fan speed is reached. In air conditioned facilities, increase the
thermostat setting by 2–7°F to reduce energy consumption and save energy.
