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 location on the side of the enclosure. Ensure the area is clear of internal components before cutting.

  2. Cut the hole

    Using the appropriate tool, cut the hole in the enclosure according to the size specified for your model. Deburr the cutting edge to remove sharp edges.

  3. Insert the fan or grille

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

  4. 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.

  5. Wire the filter fan

    Follow the wire diagrams provided in the manual to connect the filter fan correctly. Use a multimeter to verify connections.

  6. Verify clearance

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