2.ATTENTION : Vérifier le voltage afin de voir s’il correspond à celui indiqué sur la plaque du moteur.

3.N’EMPLOYEZ PAS si que l’air est supérieur a 140oF (60oC).

NO CONECTE LA CORRIENTE HASTA TANTO EL VENTILADOR QUEDE COMPLETAMENTE INSTALADO. TENGA CUIDADO DE QUE LA ALIMENTACION ELECTRICA DEL VENTILADOR QUEDE ASEGURADA EN LA POSICION “OFF” (DESCONECTADA).

1. ADVERTENCIA: PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE INCENDIO, CONMOCION ELECTRICA O LESIONES A PERSONAS, OBSERVE LO SIGUIENTE:

a.Sólo utilice esta unidad de la manera prescrita por el fabricante. Si tiene cualquier pregunta, favor consultar a la fábrica.

b.Antes del mantenimiento o limpieza, desconecte la alimentación en el tablero de control y ciérrelo con llave para impedir la activación accidental del ventilador. En caso de no poder cerrarse con llave el dispositivo de desconexión, fije firmemente al tablero de control un dispositivo prominente de advertencia, por ejemplo, una etiqueta.

c.La labor de instalación y cableado eléctrico debe ser realizada por personal calificado, acorde a todas las normas del caso incluso construcción calificada para incendios.

d.Hace falta aire suficiente para la debida combustión y extracción de gases a través de la chimenea de quemadores de combustible, a fin de impedir el contratiro. Siga las directrices del fabricante de los equipos de calefacción y normas de seguridad tales como las publicadas por la National FireProtection Association (NFPA - Asociación Nacional de Protección Contra Incendios), la American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE -Asociación Americana de Ingenieros de Calefacción, Refrigeración y Aire Acondicionado), y porlas autoridades competentes de la localidad.

e.Al perforar o cortar paredes o techos, evite dañar cables eléctricos u otros servicios empotrados.

f.Los ventiladores instalados en conductos siempre deben ventilarse al exterior.

g.Instale el ventilador con un minimo de distancia de 5 pies lineales de la salida del secador.

4.ADVERTENCIA: Compruebe el voltaje de entrada al ventilador para constatar que corresponda al voltaje de placa del motor.

3.NO UTILICE con aire calendo en el axceso 140oF (60oC).

Installation Guidelines

Fan and Switch Mounting

The DBF110 is to be mounted a minimum of 5 linear (not equivalent) feet from the dryer outlet. A secondary lint trap (DBLT 4W) is recommended if the fan is installed between 5 and 15 linear (not equivalent) feet from the dryer outlet in applications, where excessive dryer lint generation is likely or to increase the time interval between routine maintenance of the Dryer Booster Fan (See illustration to left). An NB mounting bracket attached to a rafter or joist should be used to stabilize the fan. Although not recommended, a vertical rigid duct may support the fan if the duct is securely stabilized. (Consult local codes prior to supporting the fan in the duct alone.) Duct work should be attached to the inlet and outlet of the fan by means of FC vibration isolation clamps (not included) or duct tape. The duct connection should be properly sealed to prevent leakage and loss of fan performance. Flex duct connections between the dryer duct connection and exhaust duct should be stretched as smooth as possible.

Calculating Duct Run

To calculate the length of your planned duct run, measure from the dryer to external venting point in roof or wall. For each bend or elbow add 5-7 feet to your total duct run calculations. The DBF110 can be used on runs up to 108 feet.

Pressure Sensor Switch Operation

Fantech’s DBF110 is equipped with Fantech's Patented DB10 pressure switch. The DB10 is a positive pressure sensing switch which recognizes dryer operation and activates the booster fan from an independent electrical circuit. This eliminates connections through the dryer circuit which may void the manufacturers’ warranty as well as manual systems which require the attention of the operator or costly current/temperature sensing systems.

The electricity to the booster fan is connected in series through a normally open terminal on the switch. A pressure tap is connected to a fitting on the side of the switch. When the dryer begins operation, positive pressure in the duct causes the switch diaphragm to expand, closing the circuit to the booster fan. An integral delay-on-break timer in the switch will cycle the fan on for intervals of 10 minutes. This will continue until the dryer has stopped and the timer delay period has lapsed. Drying cycles, the booster fan, the delay timer and the pressure switch are not adversely affected by the starting/stopping intervals.

Sensitivity Adjustment Instruction

a.Disconnect power to the booster fan.

b.Looking from the inlet (dryer side), the switch should be at the 12-o-clock position.

c.Remove the 2 mounting screws holding the switch to the fan.

d.Rotate the switch to the 10-o-clock position for less sensitivity or 2-o-clock position for more sensitivity then secure it there, you may have to adjust (bend) the bracket to fit. Secure the switch with the 2 screws previously removed.

e.Apply power to the fan and check for operation.

Fan Installation

Step 1. Selecting Fan Location

Fan must be mounted a minimum of 15 feet from the dryer outlet. In order to perform recommended maintenance, fan location should allow sufficient access for service. Refer to dimensional drawings shown above.

Step 2. Mount Bracket

Using the wood screws provided, attach the mounting bracket to a support beam at the selected location. Bracket is provided with grommets in order to isolate any vibration and prevent the transmission of sound through the structure. Be careful not to overtighten. Fan mounting can be in any angle (see ill. 2), however, vertical mounting is recommended to reduce condensation buildup in the fan. If a horizontal installation is necessary and condensation buildup may pose a problem, a ¼" hole drilled in the bottom of the housing (along with an NPT insert [by others] and drain tubing) may be installed to allow condensation to drain.

Step 3. Mount Fan

For proper operation, the switch diaphragm must be positioned vertically. (Illustrations below show diaphragm position for horizontal, vertical and ducts installed at an angle.) Wiring box should be positioned for easy access. Attach fan to the mounting bracket with the self tapping screws provided. Care should be taken not to strip the plastic housing. Although screw pilot holes are not required, 3/32" (or smaller) pilot holes are recommended.

Steps 2 & 3 may be reversed.
