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. Ensure that all internal components are clear of the cutting tool to avoid damage.

  2. Cut the hole

    Using the appropriate cutout size for your model, cut a 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 cutout and push until all four corners snap and lock into place.

  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), removal of the grille is required to install the fasteners.

  5. Wire the filter fan

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

  6. Verify clearance

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