WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
Electrical connections must
be made by a licensed
electrician.
CAUTION:
FIRE HAZARD
HEALTH HAZARD
All cooking appliance must
be connected to the cooking
appliance contactor, the
control circuit of which is
controlled by the ventilator.
Failure to control cooking
appliances will provide no
protection in the event of a
re, nor will cooking vapors
and odors be contained in
the event of ventilator hood
malfunction.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Refer to the nameplate on the ventilator. Verify ELECTRICAL
SERVICE POWER. Voltage and phase must match the nameplate
specications, and available electrical service amperage must meet or
exceed the listed amperage. Refer to specications listed on page 1 of
this manual.
The ground lug of this ventilator must be connected to a suitable
building ground.
Remove the left side panel to access the cooking appliance contactor
and building alarm relay. Remove the appropriate knockout, then wire
the cooking appliance control circuit to the terminal block per Fig below.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to provide
suitable wiring, exible or rigid conduit, and an appropriate strain relief.
Electrical Connection
NOTE: The hood requires a single phase (1ph), 208 or 240 volt, 20
amp supply. When connecting line voltage to the unit’s terminal block,
use a minimum of #12 gage copper wire only, suitable for 167°F (76°C)
ambient temperature.
Appliance Connections
All under hood appliances are required to be interlocked with the hood’s
equipment cut-off circuit, through a customer supplied contactor. This
contactor must be a UL listed, denite purpose AC resistive air heating type,
suitable for the appliance load. Installation and connections shall be in
accordance with the National Electric Code NFPA 70. These connections
provide an automatic shutdown of the appliance when the hood is OFF, or in
the event of a malfunction or appliance re.
Equipment Cutoff Connections
Opt 1: Use TB#3 & TB#4 for 208 or 240 volt control circuit. These contacts will be
de-energized when the hood is OFF or in the event of a malfunction
Opt 2: Use TB#5 & TB#6 as a Normally Closed SPST relay connection for equipment
control circuits with voltages other than 208 or 240 AC. These contacts will be
open when hood is OFF or in the event of a malfunction.
is discharged, a buzzer will
sound continuously. The unit
will remain inoperable until
the re suppression system is
serviced, recharged and reset
by an authorized Ansul®
distributor.
Charging of the Ansul®
Fire Suppression system
must be in accordance with
Ansul® Design, Installation,
Recharge and Maintenance
Manual, #418087.
NOTE:
If a REMOTE MANUAL PULL
STATION is installed, moving
the ventilator for any reason
may cause the Ansul®
system to discharge.
IMPORTANT:
Should the re suppression
system discharge: all nozzles
must be replaced, and all
lines thoroughly cleaned,
prior to recharging the
system.
Residual re suppression
media may compromise the
ow and dispersion of re
suppression media in any
subsequent activation.
The alarm relay is activated by the Ansul® re detection system. If the
installation includes a building alarm system, connect to terminals T7 &
T8 of the terminal block in supply connection box. These terminals are
congured from the factory for normally open operation.
The ventilator will operate properly, and the appliance control relay will
be energized, only when:
1. The VENTILATOR POWER SWITCH is “ON”.
2. The Ansul® Fire Suppression System is charged and armed.
3. All lters are in position and serviceable, and the ventilator air ow
system is satised.
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM is comprised of two containers
of Ansulex® Low pH liquid re suppression media and a system
pressurization canister, plus associated plumbing.
The hood is supplied with a eld installed MANUAL PULL STATION,
which must be set-up at the time of installation by an authorized Ansul®
distributor.
The MANUAL PULL STATION allows for manual emergency
shutdown of cooking appliance power, and actuation of the re
suppression system.
Six NOZZLES disperse the re suppression media. Two inner nozzles
protect the fan and plenum. The appliance nozzles are swivel mounted,
and must be directed toward the cooking surface of the installed
cooking appliance.
If the ventilator is situated such that the supplied manual pull
station cannot be installed or is not readily accessible, a REMOTE
MANUAL PULL STATION may be required by local codes. Any
such remote manual pull station must be installed by an authorized
Ansul® distributor in accordance with the AUTHORITY HAVING
JURISDICTION.
The re detection system utilizes six electronic thermal detectors with
an actuation set point of 225°F (107°C) in the upper hood locations
and 275°F (135°C) detectors in the lower wall locations. The signaling
from any of these detection devices will automatically discharge the re
suppression media through all nozzles, disable the cooking appliances
and cause the alarm to sound.
Fire suppression media will form an emulsion designed to both smother
The MANUAL PULL STATION and any similar REMOTE MANUAL
PULL STATION will activate the re suppression system when the
ring on the pull station is pulled to its full extent.
DANGER
BURN HAZARD
Any additional remote pull
station must NOT be installed
on the front of the cooking
appliances,
Discharge of the re
extinguishing system into hot
grease or oil may cause hot
foam to spill over from the
cooking surface or frypot.
Serious burns and other injuries
can result from contact with hot
oil and from slipping in spilled
oil.
The manual pull station is
installed on the right side
(facing the unit. It may,
however, be relocated to the left
side of the ventilator hood by an
authorized Ansul® agent.
Equipment must be installed
in accordance with the
equipment parameters table
located on the service door.
Fire suppression sensors
used on this unit provide
superior re detection
but are sensitive to rapid
temperature rise. To prevent
unintentional deployment of
the re extinguishing system,
DO NOT move equipment
from installed position when
in use. DO NOT power
off hood when under hood
equipment is HOT.

BAFFLE FILTER and GREASE CUP INSTALLATION
1. Install bafe lter from front. Engage the bafe lter in the retainer
slot. Push up until the bafe lter bottom clears the lower lip of the
retainer, then lower the bafe lter into the bottom retainer
2. Install GREASE CUP into brackets below the bafe lter.
Note: Failure to install the GREASE CUP will allow grease and
moisture from the BAFFLE FILTER to drop into hot cooking surfaces,
creating both a SAFETY HAZARD (hot oil splatter) and a HEALTH
HAZARD (contamination of the cooking surface or cooking oil).
NOTE: Cooking appliances must be operated in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
During normal operation, the illuminated power switch will be the only
light on the control panel that will be ON.
If the CHECK FILTERS light illuminates, check BAFFLE FILTERS, PRE-
FILTERS, and the HEPA AIR FILTERS for proper installation.
If the REPLACE PRE-FILTERS light illuminates .. Replace the Pre-lters.
If the REPLACE FILTER light illuminates, replace the FILTER PACK.
NOTE: the REPLACE FILTERS light is a warning that the lter pack is
nearing the end of its service life. The ventilator will continue to operate
for a period of time after the REPLACE FILTER LIGHT turns ON to allow
continued operation through a peak period. However, lter pack must be
replaced within a short time period or it will clog, disabling the ventilator
and appliances.
If the SERVICE REQUIRED light illuminates, the lter pack is restricted
to the point of insufcient airow for proper operation and the Ventilator
will shut down until the underlying clogged lter situation has been
corrected. Replace clogged item with a fresh lter to correct the
condition. Reset the unit by turning VENTILATOR POWER SWITCH to
OFF, then back to ON.
If the air curtain service required lights illuminate, there is insufcient
airow for proper operation. Call an authorized Wells Service Agent.
A failure of incoming electric power will cause a shut down of the unit.
Reset the unit by turning VENTILATOR POWER SWITCH to OFF, then
back to ON.
