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 function.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cutout template

  1. Prepare the enclosure

    Apply the cutout template to the desired side of the enclosure. Ensure it is positioned correctly before proceeding.

  2. Cut the hole

    Using the appropriate size cutout tool, cut the hole in the enclosure as specified for your model. Deburr the cutting edge to prevent injury.

  3. Insert the fan or grille

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

  4. Secure with mounting fasteners

    If the enclosure material 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

    Refer to the wiring diagrams for your specific model and connect the wiring accordingly. Ensure all connections are secure.

  6. Verify clearance
