INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation, ensure that a qualified electrician has run a 120V circuit to the installation area. Remove unit from packaging and stage on a tabletop or other surface under or near installation area with door facing upwards.
Open unit door by depressing the latch button and pulling upward. Have one
person hold the door open for the next few steps or the hinges can be damaged.
NOTE: do not remove corrugate support trays attached to door yet.
Disengage the filter clamp lever until a click is heard.
Close the door until a click is heard. Depending on type of ceiling, attach proper mounting hardware above installation area per local regulations for supporting a 52lb (24kg) fixture. Ideally the mounting locations would be 23″ apart in the shape of a square.
Lift and rotate unit before setting door-side down on the provided trays.
Determine which electrical knockout will be used and remove it.
WARNING:
do not place directly on any flat surface as this will damage the sensor that
sticks below the bottom surface.
Loop open end of cables through intended support or hardware. Use provided cable clutch hardware to secure each cable.
Secure the hooks from the provided aircraft cabling to the housing through the mounting holes (P7).
Have one person slowly lifting the machine while the other pulls the free end
of the cables to keep them taut. Alternate slowly raising each side to keep
the unit relatively level during lifting.
WARNING: During lifting ensure hooks stay oriented correctly and do not
get misaligned or they may not hold properly
Raise the fixture to about 1-2 feet below the ceiling grid on the cables.
NOTE: If unit is raised too high, have one person raise the unit while
the other depresses the spring section on the wire clutch, allowing the cable
to be loosened.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install fan at least
2.1 m (6.9 ft) above the floor.
If you have not yet, remove the adjacent cross-tee, tilt fixture about 45° upward toward the grid’s long tees
Rotate and lift all the way through the grid until until fixture can be straightened above the ceiling grid ensuring bottom panel is not damaged.
With one person supporting fixture so it just touches the grid, the other
should pull the aircraft cables until taut.
WARNING: Grid is not meant to support weight of product.
Check below unit for visible gaps. If needed, add centering blocks between unit and grid. Trim out as desired.
Coil and wrap remaining cable out of the way. Do not trim excess cable lengths. Re-install the cross-tee.
Tape off the hook slots as shown.
Working from above the unit, attach a UL approved straight or 90° elbow to connect conduit.
Ensure power switch located on the power supply is in the off position before proceeding with connecting any wires.
Have a qualified electrician connect the ground, line, and neutral to fixture per local electrical codes. Turn on power supply switch. Now the unit is set up and can be controlled with the buttons behind the filter door. All wirings connected in junction box should be connected with twist connectors.
FILTER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Remove new filter from protective bag and properly dispose of bag. Holding the
filter by the strap, align support cleat with slot. Gently push in filter
until a click is heard.
NOTE: if top and bottom supports are not properly aligned, the filter
will not sit properly and can damage the unit.
Secure filter into place by moving filter clamp lever back into the locked position until a click is heard. Close door until a click is heard. After closing door, press door closed on corners and directly beneath latch to ensure magnets and latch are fully secured.
