IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

An in depth investigation of the wall layout is required prior to instal-lation. Avoid a stud wall section that is a path for plumbing supply lines, drains or vents. Avoid a stud wall section that is insulated or being used as a return air duct for a forced air system. If stud walls are constructed with metal studs the Diffuser must be mounted within 3” of the Blower opening since metal studs typically are not solid throughout. If diffuser is not mounted within 3” of the Blower any metal stud openings must be plugged or sealed.
Do not install this fan in areas where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140’F).
Before installation, make sure the unit is facing the correct direction.
Ensure that the power supply voltage is 120V, 60Hz. or 115V,60Hz.
Comply with all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Do not bend the wires.
Do not use to discharge hazardous or explosive substances or vapors.
Always turn off the power before working near the fan or motor.

Description

The Suprocky RTR75/RTR140 room-to-room ventilator distributes air from one conditioned space to another. Almost every home has an uncomfortably hot or cold room. Some of the air from that room can be shared with an adjacent room, allowing for a more comfortable tem—perature balance between the two rooms.
The RTR75/RTR140 transfers air through a wall cavity formed between two wall studs. The machine gives the user unique option to move air up or down within the wall cavity, allowing for room optimal heat/cooling transfer between them — a typical application will affect the temperature by 3°F per hour. in addition, placing grilles and diffusers high and low prevents the transfer of ligh t and sound between these adjacent rooms.

Unpacking

Each SUPROCKY RTR75/RTR140 room-—to-—room ventilator is factory tested for electrical wiring prior to shipment.
After opening the carton, be sure to thoroughly inspected the product for shipping damage. The impeller should rotate freely and all wiring and connections should be secured. If any damage is found, notify the shipping company and your distributor immediately and file a concealed damage claim.

Installation Note

WARNING

Disrupt power at circuit breaker to outlets within the stud wall you will be working.
When sawing through sheetrock you must stop if you detect the saw blade coming in contact with any wiring or plumbing. Investigate further to determine if it is possible to safely continue to use this wall cavity space. Switch to another stud wall cavity if necessary.

Before Start:
Determine the stud wall section that you want to use to mount the Blower and Diffuser. It may be preferable to select a stud wall section that contains an electrical outlet for wiring. IMPORTANT: Wall studs must be spaced a minimum of 16” o.c..
Mark the inside edges of the studs where the RTR75/RTR140 will be installed between and verify there is at least 14” between the inside edges. Slide a stud finder down the wall between the studs to verify the stud wall cavity is completely open (See Diagram 1).
Tools Required:

Sheetrock :Saw Phillios & Straight
Screwdrivers -Level – Tape -Measure
Utility -Knife or Scissors -Wire Stripper

Installing Discharge Diffuser

IMPORTANT: Install Diffuser first, if mounting the Blower down low and the Diffuser high. This ensured sheetrock from the Diffuser cut out does not fall into wall cavity and damage Blower. Install the Blower first if mounting the Blower high and Diffuser low. This ensures sheetrock from the Blower cut out does not fall into wall cavity and damage Diffuser.
NOTE: Typical installations will have the Diffuser high and the Blower low, but there may be instances where it is desirable to have the Blower mounted high and the Diffuser low to take air from the ceiling level.

Determine if you would like a high or low discharge. The Diffuser may be mounted as close as 3” above the top of Blower cut out opening or as close as 3” to the ceiling.
Level and mark a line between studs where you want the top of the Diffuser (See Diagram 2)
Using a hand sheetrock saw carefully make a horizontal cut along the line. Cut the sheetrock completely until you come in contact with the opposite stud. NOTE: If studs are spaced greater than 16” o.c.,the horizontal cut line should not exceed 14” (See Diagram 3).
Cut out Diffuser template on dashed lines. Align the top of template with the wall cut and center it so that there is an equal space between the right and left edges of the template and ends of the cut in the sheetrock. Mark all 4 corners of template, connect with a straight edge and cut Diffuser opening in wall (Diffuser opening should be 1 1/3” high x 13 1/2” wide), (See Diagram 4).
Insert Diffuser with the air scoop on the back pointing towards the Blower. Adjust tangs on the sides if necessary to secure a tight fit into the wall opening and lock the plasterboard screws.
Note: The depth of the diffuser can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of wall thicknesses. Please adjust according to the thickness of your wall and then put in the diffuser (See Diagram 5).

Blower Installation

IMPORTANT: Install Diffuser first if mounting the Blower down low and the Diffuser high so sheetrock from the Diffuser cut out does not fall into wall cavity and damage Blower. Install the Blower first if mounting the Blower high and Diffuser low so sheetrock from the Blower cut out does not fall into wall cavity and damage Diffuser.
NOTE: Typical installations will have the Diffuser high and the Blower low, but there may be instances where it is desirable to have the Blower mounted high and the Diffuser low to take air from the ceiling level.

If installing in a stud wall section with an electrical outlet, place blower Intake Grille in desired position on the stud wall, verifying that the bottom edge is above the floor molding and that the top edge is below the bottom of any electrical outlet cover. Flatten the top edge and trace the outline of the four corners with a pen, as accurately as possible.
NOTE: This is assuming the Blower is mounted down low and the Diffuser high (See Diagram 6).
If installing the Blower up high and the Diffuser low, the top of the blower Intake Grille must be mounted at least 2” below the ceiling.
Use a level to draw four vertical and parallel lines 1 1/3” from each marked line (you can connect them according to the template we bring you). Using a manual gypsum board saw, carefully make horizontal and vertical cuts along the line away from the exit. Cut completely through the gypsum board until you touch the opposite studs. Note: If studs are Spaced more than 16” apart, horizontal cut lines should not exceed 14” (See Diagram 7).
Provide a switched 115 VAC power source with leads long enough to connect to the motor leads of the RTR/5 while it is positioned just outside Blower opening cut in sheetrock (See Diagram 8).
Carefully insert the Blower into the cutout. Level the top flange and mark the larger Blower flange mounting holes. Using the provided wood screws, secure the blower to the wall studs. Use the provided wall anchors if not installing into studs (See Diagram 9).

IMPORTANT NOTES — PLEASE READ
This product is used to boost your existing AC or heater’s airflow.
It allows you to set temperature points where the fans will turn on if the airflow’s temperature falls below or rises above the cooling or heating trigger’s setting, respectively.
Keep in mind the faster the fans spin, the louder they will be.
We’ve designed the fans to ramp up or down, instead of quickly turning on or shutting down to minimize noise and power consumption.
When not changing settings, we recom-mend staying on the
temperature display mode to monitor and accurately gauge your airflow’s temperature. Do not use your AC or heater’s thermostat reading; it does
NOT display the airflow’s temperature.
