GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All Halton Capture Jet® hood systems provide solutions for a variety of commercial foodservice ventilation applications
over virtually any cooking process. Halton’s Capture Jet® technology gives the most efcient system on the market.
To achieve the optimum performance from your hood system (s) please use the following guidelines provided within
the pages of this Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.

In addition to this information our ofces or local representatives are available at any time to provide additional
technical support for products, applications, installation, commissioning or in any aspect that you may have.

RECOMMENDATION

Upon receipt of the Halton hood (s), inspect unit (s) immediately for any shipping damage and notify carrier immediately
if damage is found. Halton will not accept responsibility for any shipping damage. All systems are thoroughly inspected
before leaving our factories, however Halton will assist in ling a claim if needed.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that the system installation is completed in accordance with the
project plans and specications and that it meets all specic requirements of local code ofcials. The local authority
having jurisdiction could over rule some of the installation details written in this manual. The installation shall be in
accordance with NFPA-96. All electrical systems shall be installed following local and national codes.

The owner and/or operator should be instructed in the proper operation, care and maintenance of the system.

If questions or complications should arise during the installation of the Halton hood (s) that cannot be solved using the
instructions provided please contact the Halton ofce at 1-800-442-5866, or (1-800-4-HALTON).

Note: There are no instructions contained within this manual for installation or maintenance of fan packages.

CJOM/2009/rev2/EN

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect the crating carefully. If there are signs of damage, call the freight carrier before uncrating the units.
Carefully uncrate the units. Check all local codes prior to installation, special requirements may be necessary

depending on local building material construction.

** Important note ** Do not leave unit (s) exposed to extreme temperatures for an extended period

of time, this may cause the protective PVC coating around the unit (s) to become very difcult to
remove.

Position the hood near the actual installation site. In case of multiple hoods, check the engineered set of

2.
drawings for locations. Pay close attention to collar sizes and re protection layouts, matching the hood
systems to the correct location shown on the drawings provided.
**Check item numbers on crates / hoods vs. drawing item numbers.

3

3.

Once the hood is carefully removed from the shipping crate and set in position, the unit is now ready for

installation. If Halton Company has supplied a backsplash assembly, then the splash assembly should
be installed rst, for installation procedures. (See pg. 4)

4. Hang the hood using ½” threaded rods by attaching the rods to the hood through the hanger brackets that are
welded to the top of the hood. Use of turnbuckles will make nal adjustment easier. Standard hanging height
for canopy hoods ranges from 78” min. to 84” max. above the nished oor (per local codes having
jurisdiction). **Noted in installation instructions - (see pg. 6).

**All typical installations for Capture Jet

5. If Closure Panels are supplied by Halton (see pg. 8) for details on the installation.

6. For multiple hoods end to end, or back to back (see pg. 7) for Installation of Splice Strips and U-Channels.

7. For hoods equipped with a supply re damper, it is very important to make sure that the re damper is set in an
open position before connecting the supply duct.

For units with exhaust re dampers, (see pg. 9), or supply re dampers, (see pg. 10) for installation

details.

8. Electrical circuits should be connected according to standard switch panel wiring diagram, shown on (pg. 11).
For Halton Capture Jet® series hoods, a typical wiring diagram is shown on (pg. 12).

OPERATION OF SYSTEM

1. After installation is complete, it will be necessary to check and balance the airows. On the Capture Jet®
line of hoods, Halton supplies T.A.B. (testing and balancing) ports for measuring the pressure drop. These
ports are located on the inside of the canopy on each plenum. (Exhaust and Capture Jet®).

For details on their use (see pg. 13). For hoods without ports, use of standard practices (duct traverse /
average velocity / etc) for measuring airows will be required.

**It is very important that the fan for the Capture Jet® air be balanced according to specications.

See the job specic information for required airows. Adjustments to the Capture Jet® fan can be made
with the speed controller supplied with the fan. This speed controller will be mounted inside or on top of the
hood, or mounted in an electrical enclosure.

Information regarding the fan and speed controller (see pg. 12).

®

2. Each Halton Capture Jet
packaged separately, inside the hood, the box will be labeled “Attn: Kitchen Mgr. “ Model KFR instructions on
(pg. 14). The KFR will assist in removal of the lters for assembly and cleaning.

3. After the exhaust and supply airows have been properly balanced, a nal inspection should be made to
ensure proper system operation.

hood system will have a “KSA” lter remover (model KFR). The “KFR” will be

HOOD MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the hood canopy inside and out as needed with mild soap and water. Never use harsh or abrasive
cleaners on Stainless Steel or Painted surfaces, making sure to wipe clean all interior and exterior
surfaces of the hood including the light xtures.

** Never clean the hood canopy when any of the surfaces are hot.

2. Clean the lters and grease cup(s) daily, rst washing by hand, and then placing them into a dishwasher or
by steam cleaning.

Halton AccuFlow

15

Overview

The AccuFlow by Halton is a Bluetooth equipped device intended to monitor the exhaust airflow rate
of Halton Capture Jet hoods and alarm kitchen staff if the hood is above or below design. The device
(shown below in Photo 1) has two taps (Photo 2) that are connected to the exhaust hood to monitor
the differential pressure between ambient air and the exhaust plenum; the T.A.B Port reading.
AccuFlow installs in Capture Jet plenum for easy viewing and access. The device shares an electrical
circuit with the Capture Jet fan.

Photo 1 – Halton AccuFlow

Photo 2 – AccuFlow Pressure Taps

Exhaust airflow rate is determined in the same fashion as other Halton Capture Jet hoods; each
hood has a unique K-Factor dependent upon model. The actual airflow is compared to the design
value and an alarm is enabled if airflow is above or below the specified range.

Connects to ambient (room) air

Connects to T.A.B. port

Plastic tubing connected to (-) port of
Accuflow device

CJOM/2009/rev2/EN

16

Operation

Each AccuFlow is programmed at a Halton Company manufacturing facility. To program the device,
the Bluetooth feature is enabled and personnel input necessary parameters. Programming can be
completed with a Windows Mobile enable smart-phone (PDA) or PC with the required software installed.
Programmed values include: Design Airflow, High Airflow Delta, Low Airflow Delta and K-Factor.

Design Airflow is determined using the Halton HELP software and the Low and High Airflow Delta are
defined as +/- ten percent of design airflow. K-Factors have been determined by Halton Research and
Development personnel.

Bluetooth capability also allows an Authorized Service Agent to determine the airflow of an exhaust
hood on site if an alarm is present. This information can be conveyed to Halton personnel for
troubleshooting.

Alarms

Alarms are enabled when design airflow is above or below ten percent of design airflow. An alarm is
visible on the front of the Accuflow, see Photo 3 below.

Photo 3 – AccuFlow Alarm Location

Indications of alarm status (under or over design) are printed on the device. If the LED indicator is
steady, the hood is at design airflow. Alarms are differentiated by the number of blinks per second;
1 blink per second indicates the hood is under design, 2 blinks per second indicates the hood is over
design.
