Receiving and Inspection
Immediately upon receipt of a TRE unit, carefully inspect
it for damage and shortage.
• Check dampers (if supplied) for free operation of all
moving parts.
• Record on the Delivery Receipt any visible sign of damage.
Handling
Lift the unit by the base or shipping carton. Never lift by
the tiers.
Storage
If the unit is stored for any length of time prior to installation, store it in its original shipping crate and protect it from
dust, debris and the weather.
Filters
Filter inspection and cleaning intervals can vary from
once a week to twice per year depending on contaminant
present and acceptable pressure drops across the filter.
Under most conditions filters may be cleaned with hot water
and a mild soap solution (such as dish washing liquid) or
steam. Some caustic cleaners will damage the filter. If in
doubt, please consult the factory for a compatibility list.
High pressure spray washers should be limited to
2,000psi operating pressure. Every attempt should be
made to remove the contaminants from the filter in a “backwash” flow (note airflow arrow on the filter frame). Once the
filter is dry, it may be returned to the appropriate filter racks
in the same orientation (airflow direction) as they were
removed.
Maintenance
Establish a definite schedule per the manufacturers recommendation for inspecting any accessory filters or damper
units that may have been installed with the ventilator.
Inspect the ventilator yearly for any debris that may
obstruct airflow. Check exterior surfaces for dust and
grease. To assure proper operation, remove any dust and
grease from the TRE surfaces.
The TRE top cap may be removed for roof top access to
the throat of the ventilator and access to the optional filters.
Filters may be removed for cleaning and maintenance by
sliding them up and out of the unit. Be sure to reinstall all top
cap fasteners upon reassembly.
Installation
Damper and Curb Installation
Curb dimensions are calculated by adding 4” to the throat
width and throat length.
The optional backdraft damper is 1-1/2” larger than the
throat length and throat width. The damper is to be mounted
in the throat of the TRE.
Optional filters are shipped installed in the unit from the
factory.
