Roof Fan Description
GSI roof exhaust fans are designed to mount on structures with sloping roofs, and with a flat roof
between the ribs of standard tapered roof sheets on round steel bins without cutting the ribs,
which keeps the strength of the roof sheet intact. The 18" .5 HP roof fan is shipped completely
assembled, and will mount on a roof slope of 30 degrees. The 24", 2 HP roof fan is shipped with
the roof adaptor and rained unassembled, and it is also designed to mount on a 30 degree roof
slope.
18" and 24" Roof Fan Location
The roof fans should be equally spaced on the bin roof circumference. When installed, the roof
fan should be positioned as far up the roof slope as the tapered ribs of the bin roof sheet will
allow.
The roof fan location should be selected to provide a rigid mounting for the fan. For bins
with an inner roof structure, the roof fan should be anchored to the inner roof structure.

5. INSTALLATION
18" Roof Fan Mounting
The roof fan can be installed in the roof sheet before assembling the roof, or after the roof is
assembled. Locate roof fan so that inner roof structure does not interfere with installation.
The fan is secured by bolts that must be fastened from the inside of the bin roof, and therefore
the assembly should be made before the side walls are erected.
1. Using the loose flange from the fan assembly as a template, position the desired roof fan
Mark the sixteen (16), 3/8" mounting holes, and elliptical fan mounting hole.
2. Drill the sixteen (16), 3/8" holes and cut out the elliptical hole. Use the caulk provided, which
is specified as a seal for metal sheets in an outdoor application, and apply along the in side
Figure 5A The 18" Template Location on the Roof Sheet (Left), and
the Caulking Location on the Roof Sheet (Right).
3. Place the roof fan into the elliptical hole from the outside of the roof sheet inward. On the
side of the roof sheet that will be inside the bin, position the loose mounting flange over the
fan tube. Using the sixteen (16) 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts with the neoprene washer head to the
outside of the bin, secure the fan, roof sheet and flange with the 5/16" nuts provided.

exhauster. Mount reinforcement under the top support plate MIS-6706 and bottom support
plate MIS-6707 on the bottom surface of the roof panel.
5. After placing the supports, field drill the attachment clip at the required locations in channels
CRP-4793.
6. Some field cutting or bolting of components may be necessary due to variables in the roof
exhauster mounting equipment.
7. The MIS-6804 is designed primarily around mounting into the upper roof of a GSI
commercial bin/silo. Field fabrication of supports may be necessary in other brands of
bins/silos.
8. A pair of adjustable brace assemblies are included in this kit to brace the exhauster unit to
the roof ribs on the upper side of the roof. Attach the brace to the roof exhauster unit and
then attach the other end to a roof rib (via a 5/16" bolt). This should attach to the exhauster
near the rainhood mounting angle point.
9. The adjustable brace consists of one center tube (LS-6615) and two end tubes (LS-6616).
The end tubes go inside the center tube and attach one end tube to the top of the extension
rail. Adjust the other end tube so the bottom of the flattened tube reaches the roof rib. Field
drill four 5/16" holes through both center and end tubes and bolt together using
1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts. This will keep the adjustable brace from slipping.

7. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Fan Disconnect
A disconnect for the fan needs to be sized to handle the recommended fusetron size.
AMP. Install the fusetron recommended in the disconnect. A circuit breaker can be used,
however, the circuit breaker or any fuse used must be a time delay type to allow the initial starting
inrush current to the fan.
Conductor Size for the Fan Disconnect to Fan Wiring
The conductor size for the fan needs to be sized according to the distance between the fan and
disconnect. Example: For a 24" fan located 200' from the disconnect use the first chart
on Page 17 to determine the conductor size to be a 14 AWG. The proper size wiring must be
used to make sure a voltage drop does not occur.
Fan Motor Controller
Size the fan motor controller according to the motor ratings for a convenient control location as
follows:
Motors with internal overload protection will require a magnetic contactor to control fan
operation. Motors without overload protection will require a magnetic starter with overload
protection to control fan operation.
Single Phase
A 3-wire system should be provided for fans to be operated on single phase power. The three
wires consist of the two current conductors and a ground. The current carrying conductors are
wired per the diagram on the motor. The ground is secured to the motor frame. On 2 HP
explosion proof motors thermostat wires are provided with the motor, and must be connected to
the fan motor magnetic controls.
Three Phase
A 4-wire system should be provided for fans to be operated on three phase power. The four wires
consist of three current carrying conductors, and a ground. The current carrying conductors are
wired per the diagram on the motor. The ground is secured to the motor frame. On 2 HP
explosion proof motors thermostat wires are provided with the motor, and must be connected to
the fan motor magnetic controls.
When installing electrical service for explosion proof motors make sure all conduit and
connectors exposed to the conditions of the motor are rated for the Class II group F and G
location of the motor.
Installation Check
When the fan is completely assembled and wired the unit needs to be checked for proper
rotation. Provide power to the fan controls and start the fan momentarily. Make sure the fan blade
rotates to exhaust air from the bin. If the blade is rotating the wrong direction, have your
electrician correct as follows:
Single Phase System
With the power OFF at the fan disconnect, the motor lead wires at the fan motor need to change
as indicated on the motor to reverse the blade rotation. The unit then needs to be rechecked for
proper rotation.

Three Phase System
With the power OFF at the fan disconnect, exchange the location of the current carrying
need to be rechecked for proper rotation.
Figure 7A Connecting the Fan Rotation for Three Phase.
Always check current local, state and national codes on electrical requirements before installing
any electrical equipment.
Transformer size is based on the current draw from the fan only. Your electrician will need to add
the KVA requirements for the other components of the system in sizing the transformer.
Copper wire (rated 75°F) is sized for the fan service. The wire size from the transformer to the
disconnect service will be determined from the fan, and the other electrical equipment
requirements.

8. OPERAT
Before Starting Fan
When starting the fan for the first time, check the following:
1. With the power OFF, rotate the fan blade to make sure it revolves easily, and does not rub
on the venturi or fan tube.
2. Check all the fasteners to make sure they are tight. If any are loose, check for proper
clearance and retighten.
3. With the power OFF, check all electrical connections to make sure they are tight. Inspect
the current carrying wires to make sure they are not grounded. Make sure the fan and
disconnect are grounded. All control enclosure covers and access doors should be secured
in place.
4. Refer to the wiring diagram on the motor, and make sure the motor is wired correctly.
Starting the Fan
The roof exhaust fans should operate anytime the supply fans operate. The roof fans can
operate independently of the supply fans just to provide ventilation of the attic space, but this
requires that vents be used in the roof to provide an open area.
18" fan............4 square feet per fan
24" fan...........10 square feet per fan
Fan Shut OFF
When shutting the fan down for the season, shut OFF the power at the fan disconnect rather than
at the fan controls to provide additional protection from unauthorized personnel operating the
fan, and potential damage to the fan from a lightning strike.
Off Season Operation and Maintenance
During the off season, the fan blade should be allowed to turn freely. The fan should operate for
approximately 30 minutes every three weeks. This keeps the fan lubricant more evenly
distributed within the bearing cavity, and dries out any condensation that could be in the motor.
Fan Service
When servicing the fan, switch power OFF at the fan disconnect switch. Activate power only
when a check is made. The following items will help you to pinpoint a possible malfunction of the
fan unit and explain the corrective action to take.
If the motor controller is turned ON and nothing happens, check the following:
1. Make sure power is available to the fan unit.
2. Check the motor thermostat (if present) to determine if the thermostat is open or closed. If
the thermostat is open, take the motor to your local authorized service center. When
checking the thermostat, make sure the motor has time to cool, if hot.
3. If power is available to the motor and it does not run, remove the motor and take it to an
authorized motor service center for repair or replacement.

8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the fan just hums when turned ON, check the following:
1. Check to make sure that all leads of your power source have voltage present. If fan unit is
not receiving power on all leads, check for a blown fuse, broken wire or loose connection.
2. Check to see that all contact sets are closing. If one leg of the supply voltage is not available
to the motor it will hum.
3. If power is available at all motor leads, and the motor still hums, it should be taken to an
authorized service center for repair or replacement.
If the fan starts and operates for awhile and then shuts OFF, check the following:
1. Check the supply voltage. Voltage should be within +/-10% of rated voltage. For example,
a motor rated at 230 volt should operate in a voltage range of 207 to 253 volt.
2. Check the supply wire size required for the fan unit.
3. Check the load on the main circuit to make sure other items on it are not overloading the
fan circuit.
4. Check the amperage of the fan, if the unit is pulling above name plate amperage, take the
motor to an authorized service center.
