This basically is referring to the north fans being in operation (in a diagram of the evacuation direction in the event of a fire) but I'm wondering if there is a more appropriate way of phrasing it.
There's not much more context apart from:
"Ventiladores sur parados"
and before the diagram the words:
"Si el acceso a la obra es del lado norte (Francia) y el incendio está entre el extremo norte y los intervinientes:
1. Cierre de la puerta norte
2. Orientar el sentido de la ventilación Sur / Norte en el ventilador Norte
3. Apertura de la puerta sur"
I'm not sure why it says "en el ventilador Norte". Surely it should be "of/from the North fan"?
Many thanks in advance.

north fans to (aspirate) draw in air
en aspiration means the fans are sucking in air as opposed to blowing it out
also 2. is "Orient the direction of the North/South ventilation of the fan North
"en el ventilador Norte" is not a total phrase, "en el ventilador" is referring to "el sentido de la ventilación Sur / Norte" and the final "Norte" is simply saying which way it should be oriented
