Motor Specifications & Electrical Requirements

This B-Air Vent VP-50 has a 2-speed, 115-volt, 60 Hz induction motor with a grounding conductor. Thermally protected, it will automatically shut down if overheated. The motor will restart automatically once cooled, for as long as it is plugged into a power source.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This air mover is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CORDS

• Use three-pronged adapters that are UL and CE approved and with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter [G.F.C.I.].
• Do not use cords that show any kind of wear or damage.
  Cords are not covered by warranty.

WARNING! The Total amperage of the Vent VP-50H Air Mover plus all other devices plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 12 amps.

Grounding Instructions

The VP-50H must be grounded. Should it malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a properly installed and grounded outlet, in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Introduction

Designed to move large volumes of air, the Vent VP-50H can be used for drying wet carpet, furniture and floors and may also be used for ventilation.

Product Features

The Vent VP-50 is perfect for use in commercial plumbing and janitorial projects.

While the Vent VP-50 is lightweight, mobile and easy to transport, nothing is sacrificed in terms of air moving effectiveness. This is a unit that can be left on overnight for days until the job is completed and dry. Note: This unit cannot be left unattended for any amount of time.

As the Vent VP-50 draws only 4.5 amps at its highest setting, it is among the most efficient air movers in the industry.
