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 in an enclosure.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Prepare the enclosure

    Apply the cutout template to the desired location on the side of the enclosure and cut out the hole using the appropriate size for your model.

  2. Insert the fan or grille

    Deburr the cutting edge and insert the fan or grille into the opening until all four corners snap and lock into place.

  3. Secure the installation

    If the enclosure material thickness is between 0.10 (2.5 mm) and 0.14 (3.5 mm), install mounting fasteners. For thickness greater than 0.14 (3.5 mm), remove the grille and drill out the mounting holes as necessary, then torque fasteners to 20-25 in-lbs (2.3-2.8 Nm).

  4. Wire the filter fan

    Follow the wire diagrams provided in the manual for your specific model to connect the filter fan correctly.

  5. Verify clearance

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