LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The R856 may be mounted on any flat surface or on a standard 4 inch square junction box. Remove the cover by squeezing the sides and pulling straight outward. Knockouts for 1/2 or 3/4 inch conduit are provided in the top of the fan center case. When mounting on a junction box, run line voltage wires through the slot provided in the back of the case. A 7/8 inch diameter hole for low voltage wiring is located at the bottom of the case. Use the rubber grommet provided to secure the low voltage wires.
Use the case as a template, and punch or drill pilot mounting holes. Mount the R856 on a flat surface or the junction box with two screws provided.
WIRING
CAUTION
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. Refer to information furnished by the system or equipment manufacturer and wiring diagrams for typical hookups and internal schematics. After wiring is complete, place system into operation. Operate through one complete cycle to make sure equipment functions properly.
