General/Généralités/Generalidades

Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment. It is always important to assess how the operation of any air movement device may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.). NEVER install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack of operation or partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment without proper safety/ warning devices installed as required.

Avant de procéder à l’installation, vous devez déterminer comment ce système interagira s’il est raccordé à toute autre pièce d’équipement mécanique. Il est toujours important d’évaluer quel impact aura le fonctionnement de tout équipement de déplacement d’air sur un appareil à combustion (ex. : fournaise au gaz, fournaise à l’huile, poêle à bois, etc.)

N’installez JAMAIS un ventilateur dans une situation où son fonctionnement normal, une opération inadéquate ou une défaillance partielle pourrait causer un refoulement ou un mauvais fonctionnement d’un appareil à combustion sans y installer, tel que requis, un système de sécurité/d’alarme.

Antes de instalarla, usted debe determinar como este sistema obrará si es ajustado a cualquiera otra pieza de equipo mecánico. Siempre es importante evaluar el impacto que tendrá el functionamiento de todo equipo de desplazamiento de aire en un aparato a combustión (ejemplo: horno de gas, horno de aceite, estufa de leña, etc...).

Jamás instale un ventilador en una situación donde su functionamiento normal, una operación inadecuada o que un fallo parcial pueda causar una descarga o un mal funcionamiento de un aparato a combustión sin instalar tal como es requerido, un sis tema de seguridad/alarma.

Installation

Model 99-NBQ-525-8

1. Secure mounting bracket to fixed structure. With one screw loosely fitted to fan mounting lug; locate

2. and align in the slotted mounting bracket hole.

3. Align the other fan fixing hole with the mounting bracket. Insert the bolt and washers provided. Fully tighten both screws to secure the fan.

Figure 2

Model 99-NBQ-700-10 & 99-NBQ-950-12

1. To install the PVP-SL10 & 12 models, the fan motor/wheel assembly must first be removed. Loosen the two spring clips around the casing and remove.

2. Secure the mounting bracket.

3. Replace the fan motor/wheel assembly and tighten the two spring clips to secure the product.

Instructions

99-NBQ

The 99-NBQ mixed flow range of inline duct exhaust fans have been manufactured in accordance with the rigorous standards of production as defined by the International Quality Standards ISO 9001. All the components have been checked and tested at the end of the manufacturing process.

We recommend that you check the following after receiving the product:

1. The correct size has been received.

2. The correct model has been received.

3. That the details on the rating label correspond to the electrical supply: voltage frequency, etc.

Remove the unit from packaging and inspect for shipping damage with in 15 days of receipt. If the product is found to be damaged, immediately contact your local authorized supplier. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT IF DAMAGED.

These instructions should be considered as a supplement to EPA standard practices, as well as all state and local building code regulations.

Environment

The 99-NBQ series of fans are suitable for operation in both Indoor and Outdoor environments. All models are suitable for exhaust or supply operation in the temperature range (inclusive of duct airstream temperature) of -40˚C (-40˚F) up to +60˚C (140˚F).

Installation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, injury to persons, observe the following:

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manu-

facturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power

off at the service panel and lock the service disconnect ing means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a tag to the service panel.

c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards including fire rated construction.

d) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturers’ guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

e) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not dam-

age electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. f) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. g) If this unit is to be installed over a tub or a shower, it

must be marked as appropriate for the application and

connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

- protected branch circuit.

h) Never place a switch where it can be reached from a

tub or shower. i) CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not

use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials

and vapours. j) CAUTION: This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do

not use in locations readily accessible to people or

animals.

The 99-NBQ series can be mounted in any orientation, horizontal or vertical and is suitable for numerous types of applications. See Figure (1). Illustration of some typical applications.

IMPORTANT:

When using 99-NBQ units in conjunction with range hoods, the following instructions should be noted.

WARNING- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when cooking flaming foods.

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate

for the size of the surface element.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or

metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to pre vent burns. If flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.

Never pick up a flaming pan - you may be burned.

Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels, a

violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY IF:

(i) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.

(ii) The fire is small and contained where it started.

Instructions

(iii) The fire department is being called. (iv) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

e) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ONLY USE METAL

DUCTWORK.

If the installation is made to rigid or flexible ducting, then we should recommend the correct diameter ducting is used to couple to the fan flanges. if it is necessary to bend the duct at the discharge of the fan, then the bend radius should be as large as possible.

Before installing the product check the following points:

1. the fan impeller turns freely and

2. there are no obstructions to the airflow All models include a robust mounting bracket which

enables easy and quick installation of the fan. See Figure 2 installation diagram for 99-NBQ duct fans.

Ductwork connection should be made with duct tape or duct fast-clamps (available through your local supplier) to ensure a good seal and secure connection.

Electrical Connection

All 99-NBQ series fans operate from a standard 120V 60Hz AC electrical supply. All wiring must be carried out in accordance with National Electric Code and all applicable state and local building codes.

Electrical connections should be made in accordance with the following diagrams: Figure 3 Electrical wiring.

Maintenance IMPORTANT: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICING, ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

All 99-NBQ series exhaust fans incorporate sealed for life bearings and therefore so not require any lubrication. We would recommend inspection of the product at least once every twelve (12) months to avoid excessive accumulation of dust and dirt on the impeller. To inspect the unit, disconnect from electrical supply and remove the ducting. If any debris is evident on the impeller, clean with a damp (not wet) cloth. DO NOT USE any detergents or abrasive materials for cleaning.
