Owner’s Manual

Maintaining your fan

Continuous operation

SonicAire fans are designed so that they can operate continuously. In order for the fan

to create an effective overhead barrier to prevent dust accumulation, the fan MUST be

running during production.

CAUTION: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the fans are operated

frequently enough that a “dust cloud” is not produced by the fan(s). SonicAire fans are

not designed or intended to be used as a “blow down” tool, and should not be used as

such. Dust concentrations must remain below Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC)

levels.

If the fans will not be operated continuously, they should be operated frequently enough

that when turned on, no visible quantities of dust can be seen in the atmosphere. If dust

is visible when the fan started from a “cold” state, the fan should be operated more

frequently.

Customers should map the facility that the MobileFlex fan is to be used in, and should

identify strategic points of operation. These points should be identiﬁed on the map, and

on the ﬂoor in the facility. The fan should be moved to all identiﬁed positions on a regular

basis to ensure that each location is regularly cleaned. SonicAire recommends creating a

schedule and documentation to ensure this happens on a regular basis.

Electrical information

All owner furnished electrical service and components must meet

the requirements of local/national codes. All SonicAire fans must

have individual circuit protection. Failure to use individual circuit

protection will void the equipment warranty.

CAUTION

The SonicAire fan motor is a three-phase 0.7kw/1 hp motor. The motor operates at 1725

rpm at 60 Hz. The indexing gear motor is 110 volt and runs at 1 rpm (at 60Hz). It is

sealed and rated at 40W. Power is transmitted to the fan motor and gear motor through

a 15 amp slip ring mounted in the uniﬁed electrical enclosure (See Wiring Diagrams, p.

16-17).

SonicAire MobileFlex

Owner’s Manual

Maintenance schedule

WARNING: Lock out the fan prior to accessing the fan or opening any electrical or

mechanical enclosures.

SonicAire recommends that you complete the following steps every six months:

• Clean and visually inspect your fan for any abnormal conditions or wear.

• Verify that all fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.) are tight and tighten as required.

• Inspect the gear motor for oil leakage.

• Inspect the upper cylinder (semi-annual) as follows:

1 Plug in MobileFlex fan and connect it to air supply.

2 Using the controls, lift the fan assembly approximately 6 in. (150 mm) and

support the fan assembly so that it can’t be lowered.

3 Disconnect the connecting link from the driven disc by removing the

shoulder bolt (Figure 3.2).

4 Using a hoist, lift the fan assembly approximately 6 inches. Note: hoist

should be approved for lifting a minimum of 250 lbs).

5 Disconnect power and air supply from the unit.

6 Slide all lift cylinders down away from the reinforcing collar.

7 Inspect the upper lift cylinder for any signs of cracking or bulging. Pay

particular attention to the area just below the reinforcing collar.

8 If any issues are observed, remove unit from service and contact SonicAire

Parts and Service.

9 If no damage is observed, the unit can be put back into service.

Once per year we recommend that you:

• Check all electrical connections for proper tightness.

All bearings are sealed or self-lubricated and require no additional lubrication. Although

they require no maintenance they may wear out over time.
