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, ensuring proper fit and functionality.

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 it is aligned properly before proceeding.

  2. Cut the opening

    Cut the hole in the enclosure using the appropriate size for the model purchased. 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. Ensure it is secure.

  4. Install mounting fasteners

    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), fasteners are required. Remove the grille to access the mounting holes if necessary.

  5. Torque fasteners

    Torque the fasteners to 20-25 in-lbs (2.3-2.8 Nm) to ensure a secure installation.

  6. Wire the filter fan

    Follow the wire diagrams provided in the manual to connect the filter fan to the power supply. Ensure all connections are secure.

  7. Verify clearance

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