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 mounting and wiring.

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 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, then 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 .10 (2.5 mm) and .14 (3.5 mm), install mounting fasteners. For thickness greater than .14 (3.5 mm), ensure fasteners are used to maintain the IP/Type 12 rating.

  4. Wire the filter fan

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

  5. Verify clearance

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