General installation information

Ducts on both sides
Without duct (air transfer)
Duct on one side (air outlet)
Duct on one side (air inlet)

The multileaf damper is installed away from walls (in ducts), or adjacent to or on the face of walls and ceiling slabs.

Please note:

Installation should be vertical and without torsion
Installation in vertical or horizontal ducting
Installation only with the blades horizontal; JZAL, JZ-HL-AL and JZ-LL-AL also with the blades vertical
Any airflow direction
Duct connection on one side or on both sides
The function of the damper must be checked before installation.

CAUTION!
Danger of injury!
Danger of injury when reaching into the blades or the linkage of the multileaf damper.
Once the multileaf damper has been installed, people must be prevented from reaching into the damper, for example by a cover grille.

NOTICE!
Temperatures below the dew poi nt
Temperatures below the dew point should be avoided as they lead to condensation which may cause damage to the building structure.

Duct installation

Use screws (by others) to fix the multileaf damper to the duct. Due to its weight the multileaf damper must be supported, e.g. by a suspension system.

Wall/ceiling installation
Screw fix installationUse suitable screws (by others) to attach the multileaf damper to the wall or ceiling slab.

** without installation subframe
1. Fixing tab
2. Hexagon head screw with washer
3. Installation subframe

The gap between the frame of the external weather louvre and the building envelope has to be professionally sealed (by others) to prevent the ingress ofhumidity or rain.

Electrical/pneumatic connection

Connecting the duct
Use screws to attach the damper to the ducting. The damper casing has flange holes for duct connection. Seal the joint between the casing flange and the duct in order to avoid pressure loss. Use sealing tape, for example, and clamps or additional screws, if necessary.
The movement of the damper blades must not be obstructed by any attachment.

CAUTION!
Danger of injury when reaching into the multileaf damper.
If only one end is to be ducted on site, the other end must have a cover grille (galvanised steel, mesh aperture ≤ 20 mm) or an external weather louvre.

Electrical/pneumatic connection
Actuators provided by others
If actuators are provided by others, please note:

Minimum torque of the actuator
Maximum differential pressure for the multileaf damper
Remove the lever (if any) that locks the quadrant stay during transport before you install the actuator
Install the actuator according to the manufacturer’s instructions

For technical data refer to the technical leaflet.
NOTICE!
The blade mechanism must not be used as a travel stop for the actuator; if necessary, use a separate travel stop device.
TROX cannot guarantee leak-free dampers if the actuators are provided and installed by others.

Connecting electric actuators
Personnel:

Skilled qualified electrician

Use only cables that are designed for the supply voltage for which they will be used. The power rating is given on the actuator rating plate. Thelength and cross section as well as any contact resistance may increase voltage losses.
A skilled qualified electrician has to select the correct cable types and sizes.

DANGER!
Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any live components! Electrical equipment carries a dangerous electrical voltage.

Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed to work on the electrical system.
Switch off the power supply before working on any electrical equipment.

Connect the actuator as indicated on the actuator or in the manufacturer’s product documentation.

Commissioning and maintenance
Commissioning
Personnel:

HVAC technician

As part of commissioning, the multileaf damper must be tested for correct functioning.

NOTICE!
JZ-LL-AL / JZ-HL-AL with quadrant stay
JZ-LL-AL / JZ-HL-AL multileaf dampers have a quadrant stay which functions as a travel stop (open/close). Using the damper without the quadrant stay may cause damage to the blades.
Do not use multileaf dampers JZ-LL-AL / JZ-HLAL without the quadrant stay.
Before commissioning, loosen the nut of the lever that locks the quadrant stay during transport.

Maintenance
The multileaf damper and the actuator are maintenance- free with regard to wear but multileaf dampers must still be included in the regular cleaning of the ventilation system.

Technical data

Multileaf dampers are manufactured according to the width (B) × height (H) ordered.
Multileaf dampers must be installed according to B × H; turning them is not usually possible, Ä ‘General installation information’.
