Installation, Operation & Service Instructions
Read and Save These Instructions
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is the industry’s only Air Mover specifically engineered with patent pending
FOCUSTM Technology. FOCUSTM Technology revolutionizes evaporative drying by producing air velocities
greater than competitive product offerings. This highly focused air flow is directed towards the restoration
industry’s problematic drying areas namely, carpet and pad, sub-floor, sill plate and walls. No other fan
dries the sill plate as quickly! Finally, the Phoenix Axial Air Mover with FOCUSTM Technology sustains these
air velocities further than any other Axial Air Mover.
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover includes a 2-speed motor delivering a focused
airstream of approximately 3000 cfm, lightweight stackable
enclosure designed to fit existing vehicle rigging, on-board duplex
GFCI outlet, circuit breaker, superior cord management and hour
meter.
Conventional air movers create a circular air jet. With a circular
air jet the only way to get air into the square corner is to point
the fan towards the corner. This angle toward the wall wastes
valuable air velocity and throw distance. FOCUSTM Technology
creates an air jet with a square corner, resulting in optimized
drying ability. In addition, the Axial Air Mover features built in
4.5° positioning which increases the fans ability to dry.
Dry fast, smart and profitably with Phoenix.

5 Power Requirements
5.1 Daisy Chaining
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover draws 2.5 amps. The ꢀ2 amp,
on-board circuit breaker will allow four (4) Phoenix Axial Air
Movers on one circuit. When daisy-chaining the Phoenix
Axial Air Mover, turn on one Phoenix Axial Air Mover at a
time to prevent excessive current inrush caused by four
units starting at once.
• Avant de laisser un appareil aéraulique axial sans
surveillance, s’assurer que les enfants n’ont pas accès
à l’équipement. Ne pas laisser les enfants jouer avec
l’appareil ou à proximité de l’appareil ou dans l’air qu’il
projette.
A ground fault in the Phoenix Axial Air Mover or anywhere
on the circuit will cause the Axial Air Mover’S GFCI to trip.
After rectifying the ground fault, reset the GFCI by pressing
the reset button.
• Pour réduire le risque d’incendie ou de choc électrique,
ne pas utiliser ce ventilateur avec un dispositif de
commande de vitesse à semi-conducteurs.
2 Intended Application
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover has changed the drying
industry by minimizing overall drying time on water
restoration jobs. The Phoenix Axial Air Mover uses patent
pending FOCUS Technology to maximize air velocity across
floors and along walls for longer distances. By maximizing
the air velocity, water evaporates more quickly from the
carpet, pad, sub-floor, wall, and sill plate.

The Axial Air Mover sustains
this air flow for more than 20
feet and maximizes the air
velocity across the floor and
along the wall when placed
the at 4.5° angle from the
wall.
55.3 Integrated Cord Wrap
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover features integrated cord
management. Wrap the cord around the cord wrap as
shown and secure the cord with the clasp on the plug.
By touching the front edge
of the output side of the
axial air mover against the
wall and rotating the rest of
the unit against the wall, the
restoration professional will
place the axial air mover at
4.5° due to the housing’s
built-in design. Industry
Figure 5: 4.5° to wall
as shown
experts agree placing Axial Air
Movers 45° angle to the wall
wastes air flow and reduces
the performance by forcing air
up the wall.

6 Applications
6.1 Sizing for Water Restoration Jobs
Current industry standards call for one air mover per ꢀ0-ꢀ6
linear feet of wall space, dependent upon the Class of wa-
ter damage. For commercial structures, the industry stan-
dard calls for one air mover for every 50-60 square feet.
The water restoration industry based these estimates on
the air mover technology available when writing the stan-
dards. Following these equipment-sizing standards when
using the Phoenix Axial Air Mover will result in dramatically
faster drying times. If the restoration professional desires
to merely achieve industry standard drying times, he can
use fewer Phoenix Axial Air Movers than standard equip-
ment standards allow.
The best set up angle for quickly and completely drying the
sill plate is 4.5°. Set-up angles greater than 4.5° may be
used under unique circumstances such as corner air flow
and structure variations. Set-up angle should never exceed
23°.
6.3 Orienting of Directional Drying System
The axial air mover dries in counter-clockwise and
clockwise directions for optimum ease of use. The axial
air mover ships with rubber feet on one side of the unit for
counter-clockwise drying.
When the water restoration professional needs to employ
clockwise drying (such as the need to dry a door jamb),
simply rotate the axial air mover 90° so the FOCUS
Technology corner points toward the door jamb and floor
for the clockwise drying.
6.2 Placement
Current industry guidelines suggest placing air movers at
a ꢀ5° - 45° angle to wall. These guidelines apply to air
movers without FOCUS Technology. FOCUS Technology
allows the restoration professional to place the Phoenix
Axial Air Mover at an angle nearly parallel to the wall.

7 Operating Instructions
The Phoenix Axial Air Mover as packaged is ready to be put
into service. Inspect the unit completely for any shipping
damage. Place the unit on the ground. Check the GFCI to
ensure it is not tripped. Orient the unit so the desired air
flow direction is the same as the arrow indicator sticker in
the FOCUS Technology corner on the interior of the unit.
Plug the unit into a grounded outlet and select the drying
mode shown in Figure 9.

set-ups
8.1 Run-Time Hour Meter
The operator interface panel is equipped with an Automatic
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Hour meter. This hour meter
displays cumulative run time. The hour meter meets
IP65 for moisture and dust protection and is designed to
survive harsh restoration and water recovery applications.
The hour meter features non-volatile eeProm memory. This
type of memory cannot be erased, nor reset. This feature
ensures accurate time tracking.
Factory installed feet for use
during counter clockwise drying
The display can be used to track time-of-operation and
time-to-dry. Some restoration professionals use the hour
meters to help them establish hourly billables.
Figure 8: Clockwise feet locations
If the water restoration professional dries in the clockwise
direction often, we suggest attaching the two (factory
provided) rubber feet into the threaded holes on the side
of the unit. By attaching the rubber feet and creating the
optimal downward angle of 4.5°, the Phoenix Axial Air
Mover will maximize air velocity across the floor and wall
when drying in the clockwise direction.
8.2 12 Amp Resettable Circuit Breaker
The ꢀ2 AMP thermal response resettable circuit breaker
protects the unit and devices connected to its duplex GFCI
outlet.
The circuit breaker is designed to sense the total current
draw through the circuit. The circuit breaker “trips” when
more than ꢀ2 amps of electrical current are drawn through

the device’s power cord. Should an over-current condition
occur, the Axial Air Movers’ on-board circuit breaker
prevents nuisance visits to a remote power junction box.
8.5 GFCI Protection and the On-Board Duplex
VAC Outlet
The standard AC voltage outlet GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) protection promotes operator safety in wet
applications. GFCI devices trip when a fault to electrical
“ground” is sensed.
IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the Axial Air Mover plus all
devices plugged into the receptacle must not exceed 12
amps. The circuit breaker will not allow for loads in excess
of 12 amps, although there is a time delay before the
overloaded circuit is broken.
It is recommended to check the GFCI protection prior to
operation. To check, push the “TEST” button located on
the GFCI duplex outlet. If operating properly the “RESET”
button on the GFCI outlet will pop out. Depending on your
Axial Air Movers specific equipment, a tripped GFCI may be
indicated by a small LED. The device can only be “RESET”
when the Axial Air Mover is connected to a wall outlet
providing standard voltage. This duplex AC outlet allows
the inter-connection of other AC powered devices. The sum
total amperage of all devices plugged into the receptacle
must not exceed 9 amps.
8.3 Power Indication Lamp
The red, sealed, high intensity AC voltage power indication
lamp allows operators to visually identify the operation
status of several Phoenix Axial Air Movers at a distance,
with a single glance. The power indication lamp will remain
lit when the AC power cord is plugged into a standard
“powered” AC power outlet and the 3-position drying
selector switch is in either the HIGH or LOW operation
position. The power indication lamp will remain unlit when
the AC power cord is unplugged, the 3-position drying
selector switch in the OFF position, the on-board GFCI
or ꢀ2 Amp circuit breaker is tripped, or the connected,
standard AC wall outlet power has been turned off.
9 Maintenance
WARNING: Disconnect the unit from power before servicing,
lubrication or cleaning. Replace the wire safety grill after
servicing, lubrication or cleaning.
8.4 3-Position Drying Selector Switch
9.1 Servicing
Before each use inspect for damage, blocked inlet or
outlet, or any excess buildup of foreign material.
The 3-position drying mode selector switch. This switch
is used to select the Phoenix Axial Air Mover’s mode of
operation. The 3 modes of operation are OFF, LOW or
HIGH.
Inspect the GFCI to ensure it is not in a “tripped”
condition. Push “RESET” to reset the GFCI.
When the Phoenix Axial Air Mover is first turned on, check
for excessive vibration. If the unit vibrates excessively or if
blade rubs on housing, turn off the unit immediately. Have
a service technician inspect the unit to locate the problem.
IMPORTANT: When the Phoenix Axial Air Mover is plugged
into a standard “powered” wall outlet the Phoenix Axial Air
Mover’s duplex outlets are electrically “HOT” and AC voltage
is present.
OFF - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is not drying. The
power indication lamp is unlit. If the unit is plugged into a
standard “powered” wall outlet all devices connected to
the unit’s duplex GFCI outlet receive AC voltage.
LOW - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is in “Normal” Drying
mode. This mode provides rapid drying and very quiet
operation. The power indication lamp will be lit. All devices
connected to the devices duplex GFCI outlet will receive AC
voltage.
HIGH - The Phoenix Axial Air Mover is in “Fast” drying
mode. This mode provides the industries most rapid
drying while maintaining low noise operation. The power
indication lamp will be lit. All devices connected to the
devices duplex GFCI outlet will receive AC voltage.
