Frequently Asked Questions
No.
Due to the light weight design, the Aeratron fan range is not suitable for outdoor use, in any structure that does not have 4 walls. Aeratron has found that the blade set weighing less than 1.5kgs is susceptible to the wind which can place extra strain on the internal components and also cause the fan to become unbalanced.
The term Outdoors, relates to:
– Patio Areas
– Deck Areas
– Any outdoor structure exposed
If the area which the fan is installed is outside the dwelling and does not have 4 solid walls surrounding it at all times where it is protected from wind damage, the fan unfortunately would not be covered under warranty.
YES.
We strongly recommend the use of Isolation Switches, when installing your DC Ceiling Fans, especially for dwellings with more than one Ceiling Fan installed.
The reason for this is in order to put the receivers into pairing mode the power to the fan needs to be turned off and when power is restored the receivers in the fan automatically go into pairing mode. This allows you to reprogram your ceiling fans yourself.
If isolation switches are not installed an electrician may need to be called out to reprogram the ceiling fan(s) if there is more than 1 in the dwelling.
Aeratron ceiling fans are compatible with most home automation systems including CBUS. Click Here to download the technical specifications.

The voltage of the Aeratron Ceiling fan is 110-240V and the wattage varies on the model of the fan. The 2-blade model depending on blade size and speed setting will range from 3.7W-18.2W, whereas the 3-blade model will vary from 3.8W-18W.
The voltage of the light kit is 240V.
No.
Aeratron and Airborne ceiling fans have inbuilt transformers that require 240V to power the internal electronics, and the use of solar power is not a sufficient power source.
This means you will need a mains 240v power source to operate your ceiling fans.
Under Australian standards the minimum height from floor to the lowest part of the fan needs to be 2100mm.
If your home has a standard 2400mm all our ceiling the fans will be able to be installed directly on to the ceiling and will comply with Australian standards.
An extension rod kit is used if the Aeratron ceiling fan is being installed on an angled ceiling of less than 17 degrees. The extension rod kit is also used on high ceilings. We recommend any ceiling with a height of 3100mm or more, you will need to use an extension rod kit.
The kit itself comes with a 114mm extension rod and a 900mm extension rod which can be cut to size, and all of the other required parts including canopy covers and specialised brackets required to install the extension rod correctly.
The ceiling fan will need to be installed at least 1 metre from the tip of the blade to the nearest vent or air-conditioning split system. If the fans are installed any closer than this, it can cause air that is being pushed out of the vents to rock the blades back and forth.
In some cases, a noise also develops because when the fan is turned on, the constant air being pushed directly on the blade set it will cause it to make air movement sounds.
The warning label on the Aeratron ceiling fan box is for homes that have been hermetically sealed, this is most common in America and colder climates. We issue this warning because if there is a gas heater or wood fire in the room that is running when the fan is also running, the fan will circulate the CO2 and it can cause respiratory issues.
Depending on the installation of the ceiling fan, there are a couple of different ways to reprogram the fan.

No.
The Wall Controller is voltage free. If power is connected to the wall controller it will blow the wall controller unit and also the receiver in the fan.
When testing was performed on the AE Series fan, the airflow was measured in a tube, giving a higher reading for airflow – this was the standard method for finding out airflow.
Now, the standard for measuring airflow in ceilings fans is quite different but more realistic. The AE+ Range was tested in a 3x3m room with sensors throughout different parts of the room which combined, gave a more accurate reading.
As this is a new method, not all ceiling fan manufacturers measure airflow this way, this should be kept in mind when comparing us to our competitors.
If there are any further questions regarding airflow, please contact the AeroDC Customer Service Team on 1300 116 305.
The first thing to always try if your fan stops working – or is working abnormally is to reprogram the fan. Click here for instructions.
In the unlikely event that your Aeratron fan does not respond to the above reprogramming, please call the National Warranty Hotline on 1300 116 305 for assistance.

If your home has a standard 2400mm ceiling the fan will be able to be installed directly on to the ceiling and will comply with Australian standards. From the top of the motor housing to the lowest part of the blades, the fans hang 295mm from the ceiling.
