8.0 Operation
8.1 VX700 Control Features
Refer to Figure 1 on next page for location of VX700 PPV Fan Features
8.1.1 Control Panel
Standing behind the fan the Control Panel is mounted on the right-hand side of
the Battery Compartment. The Control Panel provides an emergency shut-off
switch, fan tilt function, scene and panel light ON / OFF functions as described
below. See Figure 2, VX700 Control Panel.
1. Emergency Off Switch
This is the most important switch. Learn its location on the Control Panel
and toggle the Emergency OFF switch ON and OFF a couple of times to get
the feel for how it works. To turn power ON to the VX700 raise the red cap to
the up position until it locks in place and then toggle the switch handle up to
the ON position. To turn the power OFF just slap the red switch cover down.
This action will kill power to all Control Panel and motor functions.
Please note that the Emergency OFF switch should be in the OFF position
when the VX700 is not in use. Failure to do so will eventually discharge the
battery.
2. Fan Tilt Switch
The Fan Tilt Switch energizes a linear actuator below the fan to control the tilt
angle of the fan. The tilt angle should be adjusted to drive the airflow through
the center of the target opening in a building or scene. The fan has a tilt
range from -10
˚ to +15˚ relative to the horizon / plane of the VX700 base.
To operate the Fan Tilt actuator toggle the Fan Tilt Switch up to tilt the fan
up, or toggle the Fan Tilt Switch down to tilt the fan down.
The Fan Title actuator has built-in limit switches that prevent the fan from
tilting more than the -10
˚ to +15˚ range. If the fan does not respond to an UP
command the fan is at the upper +15
˚ limit. If the fan does not respond to
the Down command then the fan is at the lower -10
˚ limit.
Note: The Honda GX630 motor has an oil level alert function that kill the
motor when the motor is tilted more than 20
˚. The combined tilt of the
vehicle plus the tilt of the fan must not exceed 20
˚.
3. Scene Light Switch
The Scene Light is located on top of an extension arm mounted to the top of
the Battery Compartment. The Scene Light Switch turns a 65 watt flood light
on to illuminate the area in front of the fan for nighttime operation.
