Mounting Provisions

Clearance Requirements

When selecting a location to mount the cabinet, ensure that proper clearance is available to allow the cabinet door to open fully.

Grounding Information

Bonding and grounding should be done in accordance with industry standard procedures and comply with local electrical codes. The main cabinet ground bar is located in the rear of the cabinet as shown below.

FAN VENTILATION SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

The AP MINIFORT® can be equipped with a fan ventilation system and thermostat control.
The cabinet has two filters. The inlet filters are on the inside of the cabinet. To replace the filter remove the four nuts that secure the filter frame, remove old filter media and replace with new media and reinstall the filter frame. The outlet filter, which primarily protects the cabinet from dust and debris flowing to the cabinet when the fan is not active, is located between the fan panel and the exterior louvers on the cabinet.
The fan forces air out of the top exterior louvers. This action draws outside air into the cabinet through the bottom set of filtered louvers on the exterior of the cabinet.
