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, 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.

  2. Cut the hole

    Cut out the hole in the enclosure using the appropriate size for the model you purchased. Deburr the cutting edge to avoid sharp edges.

  3. Insert the fan or grille

    Insert the fan or grille into the cutout and push until all four corners snap and lock into place.

  4. Secure the installation

    If the panel thickness is between 0.10 and 0.14 inches, install mounting fasteners. For thickness greater than 0.14 inches, ensure fasteners are used to maintain the IP/Type 12 rating.

  5. Wire the filter fan

    Follow the wire diagrams provided in the manual to connect the filter fan to the power supply.

  6. Verify clearance

    Ensure that the installed filter fan has a minimum clearance of 7.00 inches from any obstruction.
