Owner's Manual for Westinghouse Widespan 100-inch Ceiling Fan

Quick guide from the manual

This manual provides instructions for the installation and operation of the Westinghouse Widespan 100-inch High Volume Ceiling Fan. This fan is designed for large, high-ceiling areas such as factories, barns, ranches, gyms, and warehouses. Important: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Do not use solid-state variable speed controls with this fan; use only the specified control part #BF-5.

Installation

Before starting, ensure the power is turned off at the fuse box. The ceiling structure must be capable of supporting the fan. Use the provided expansion anchors for mounting.

• Mounting: Drill holes according to the specified pattern (140mm x 45mm) for expansion anchors. Secure the mounting bracket firmly to the ceiling structure.
• Downrod: Prepare the downrod by removing the clamp pin and cross pin. Insert the downrod through the canopy and coupling cover. Re-install the cross pin and secure the downrod to the motor coupling.
• Wiring: Connect the 6-pole connector from the fan to the remote receiver. Connect the receiver wires to the house supply wires (white to white, black to blue) using wire nuts. Connect the green ground wire to the house ground.
• Blades: Install the blades to the top of the motor using the provided screws and washers.

Operation

The fan is operated via the included remote control.

• Speed Control: The remote offers 6 speed settings (1-lowest to 6-highest).
• Timer: Includes a 1-8 hour operation duration setting.
• Air Flow Direction: Use the slide switch on the transmitter to change direction. Forward (Warm Weather): Counterclockwise rotation creates a downward cooling breeze. Reverse (Cool Weather): Clockwise rotation moves warm air off the ceiling.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity of your fan:

• Check support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year for looseness.
• Clean periodically using a soft brush or lint-free cloth. Do not use water or harsh cleaners like bleach or ammonia.
• The motor features permanently lubricated bearings; no oiling is required.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues, check the following:

• Fan does not start: Check circuit breakers, verify wire connections, and ensure the forward/reverse switch is fully engaged (not in the middle).
• Fan is noisy: Ensure all motor housing and blade screws are snug. Do not use solid-state speed controls. Allow a 24-hour break-in period.
• Fan wobbles: Ensure blades are tightened securely and the mounting bracket is firmly attached to the ceiling joist. Interchanging adjacent blades may help redistribute weight.
