How to Install the Side-Mount Filter Fans and Grilles

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing side-mount filter fans and grilles on an enclosure, ensuring proper fit and function.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Drill, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cutout template

  1. Prepare the enclosure

    Apply the cutout template to the desired location on the side of the enclosure. Ensure that all internal components are clear of the cutting area.

  2. Cut the opening

    Using the appropriate cutout size for your model, cut the hole in the enclosure. Deburr the cutting edge to remove any sharp edges.

  3. Insert the fan or grille

    Insert the fan or grille into the opening until all four corners snap and lock into place. For thicker materials, install mounting fasteners as needed.

  4. Install mounting fasteners

    If required, remove the grille and drill out the mounting holes in the filter housing using the specified drill bit size. Then, torque the fasteners to 20-25 in-lbs (2.3-2.8 Nm).

  5. Wire the filter fan

    Follow the wiring diagrams provided for your specific model to connect the filter fan. Ensure all connections are secure.

  6. Verify clearance

    Check that the installed filter fan has a minimum clearance of 7.00 inches (178 mm) from any obstruction.
