Installation Guide

1. Position the ceiling radiation damper on the inlet side of the fan such that the
holes in the damper mounting flanges line up with the holes in the flange of the fan
housing. Secure the damper to the fan housing using four #10-32 screws and nuts
supplied.
2A. For a damper used with a fan requiring a plug connector to pass through the
damper, secure the plug connector using the wiring bracket and #8 course threaded
screw supplied. (See Figure 2A) If the plug connector cannot reach through the
damper to the grill plug attachments, release the clips holding the wiring inside the
fan with a Phillips-Head screwdriver. Make sure the wire lead or plug connector
does not interfere with the closing of the
damper.
2B. For a damper used with a fan that does not
require a plug connector, secure the wiring
bracket to the damper frame using the #8
course threaded screw supplied. Make sure the
wiring bracket covers the notch in the frame and does not interfere with the closing of the
damper. (See Figure 2B)
3. Prior to installing the damper/fan, damper supports need to be installed in the ceiling
assembly (See Figure 1 and Figure 5). Four damper supports made from 2x4’s cut to the
truss height need to be installed, centered around the damper/fan location. The damper
supports need to be spaced 11-9/16" (294) on center. The bottom of the damper
supports must be flush with the bottom of the trusses. Each damper support must be
fastened to the truss members with a minimum 2" (51) long #8 wood screws at a
minimum of two places.
