MOUNTING
STEP 1
WARNING: Turn off the gas and electrical power before installing the kit!
While the fireplace is cool and off, remove the lower half of the fireplace
vent plate. Clean the inside of the area of any dust or dirt.
STEP 2
While very carefully placing the blower towards the rear, be sure the opening
of the fan in which the air blows out is facing up and the rubber feet are
facing the floor. Avoid any gas lines or electrical wires that are already in
place.
STEP 3
Be sure the metal plate is placed towards the wall of the vent and the rubber
feet are placed against the floor with the fan blades facing forward as
pictured in the illustration.
STEP 4
Be sure that the area you are mounting has no gas lines or electrical wires in
the way of the drilling area. Use a power drill to mount the fan in place with
the included screws to reduce any unwanted vibrations.
STEP 5
To mount the controller, position it on the outside of the vent away from the
fireplace and use the included screw sets. Use a drill to screw the controller
into place.
STEP 6
Once the fan and Universal Controller are securely mounted with in a safe
distance, you are now able to continue to power.
POWERING
STEP 1
The blower unit comes corded with a 4-pin molex connector. Locate the
connector and plug it into the bottom of the controller. Please make sure the
this cord is secured away from contacting the blower’s spinning impeller and
blades.
STEP 2
Plug in the thermal probe directly under the controller, the probe has to be
placed with in the same area as the blower underneath the fireplace. The probe
should be able to detect heat once the fire place is on to start the blower.
Please make sure the this cord is secured away from contacting the blower’s
spinning impeller and blades.
STEP 3
To power the device, plug the adapter pin into the Universal controller, and
the prong end into the outlet inside the fire place or outside the fireplace
if there are no outlets.
STEP 4
Follow the instructions starting on page 13 to program the controller. When
the sensor probe detects a temperature or humidity that exceeds your settings,
the blower will starting moving air. This accelerates air being moved from the
bottom of the fireplace vents, through the fire place, and exhausting out the
top. The heated air that the fireplace created will circulate back into the
room at a faster face and warm up a larger area.
