GT 500s are also usually connected to
automated control panels with water solenoids.
However, if planning to operate the unit
manually (no control) and with a limited
drainage area, adding a water solenoid will
provide security. During power outages, the ow

Mount the fan high overhead. Allow room in front of and below the fan for the
unobstructed propulsion of fog. Rule of thumb: the higher the better, but mount
at least three feet away from any roong structures.
Mount the fan at the intake end of a ventilated structure. In structures with mild to no
ventilation, propel fog the length of the structure. In large structures, use of an oscillator greatly
enhances coverage and circulation.
DO NOT: Mount the fan near the ground or underneath tables or benches.
DO NOT: Propel the fog into the wind (direction of airow).
DO NOT: Cramp the fan in tight quarters or skinny aisleways.

Control areaIn applications requiring only one unit, mount
the fan high, centered along one wall, with fog
propelling horizontally along the length of the
structure. If there is ventilation, mount the fan
at the intake end of the structure. Generally, no
oscillation is necessary unless the width of the
structure is greater than 20'. The best location
for automated controls is behind the fan, at an
easily accessible level for monitoring.
In large structures equipped with forced
ventilation, the rst fan row should be within a
few feet of the intake end, with rst fan:
- centered along the end wall (or)
- placed no more than 20' from the side wall,
with additional fans in the row equally spaced
no more than 40' apart.
Lengthwise, the fans should be equally spaced
no farther than 60' apart. All fans should be
equipped with oscillation, sweeping 180˚ in the
direction of airow.

Turn on the unit and listen for any possible abnormalities, such as the blades rubbing against the
venturi. Make adjustments if necessary. If no problems are detected, slowly turn the owmeter control
knob counter-clockwise until the desired output is achieved. The uid level ball should move up and
down as adjustments are made.
If using an oscillator, check the rotational movement and be SURE THE POWER CORD HAS ENOUGH
SLACK. If there is not enough, try re-mounting the GT 500 with the oscillator power cord falling in
line with its motor.
Note: GT 500 can also be operated dry.
The volume of fog can be regulated by adjusting the
owmeter.
Particle size is smaller at lower outputs, so it is
better to operate the fan at a lower output for a
longer period of time.
Flowmeters maintain a more reliable ow rate if
operated high on their ow scale.
If your desired output volume is close to the
bottom of the scale, it may be benecial to
purchase a smaller owmeter or install a 5
micron sediment lter.
At the base of the owmeter is an in-line strainer
(Part #71) with a removable cap. Periodically check
inside and ush any sediment from the screen.
OPERATION
BEFORE TESTING FAN MAKE SURE ALL OBJECTS ARE OUT OF THE
ROTATION PATH OF THE FAN BLADES. HIGH-SPEED WARNING. KEEP HANDS
CLEAR! MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE INSTALLED OR UNIT IS OUT OF REACH.
LISTEN FOR UNUSUAL NOISE OR VIBRATION.
CAUTION
BUMP START GT 500 and check for proper fan blade rotation (clockwise if looking at
front of unit). If incorrect, nd rotation connection changes on the motor's electrical schematic.
