01

IP66 environmental protection

Protection against dust, water and vapours supports indoor, covered outdoor, washdown and high-humidity applications.

02

Direct-drive engineering

A permanent-magnet motor and VFD reduce drivetrain complexity while supporting quiet, efficient operation.

03

8 to 24 feet

Current diameters span 2.4 to 7.3 metres, allowing a project team to match the fan to building geometry and mounting height.

04

Controls that integrate

0–10 VDC, Modbus and BACnet compatibility plus SmartSense® automated modes support building-management workflows.

Project specification pathway

Start with the building, not a guessed fan size.

Pacific Air will use the building dimensions, mounting height, environment and intended use to begin a proper project recommendation.
