DANGER
RISQUE D’INCENDIE
Le système anti-incendie doit être chargé
et certié par un distributeur agréé Ansul®.
N’essayez PAS de modier ou de
contourner le système anti-incendie.
Un feu hors de contrôle risque de
provoquer des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Une alarme sonore se déclenche en

déchargé. L’unité reste inutilisable
jusqu’à ce qu’un distributeur agréé Ansul®
effectue son intervention, le recharge et le
réinitialise.
REMARQUE :
Si un AVERTISSEUR D’INCENDIE À
DISTANCE MANUEL est installé, tout
déplacement du ventilateur, quel qu’en soit
le motif, peut provoquer la décharge du
système Ansul®.
DANGER - NE PAS BLOQUER
L’ACCÈS À LA POIGNÉE DE
L’EXTINCTEUR !
DANGER :
RISQUE DE SUFFOCATION
“Ce ventilateur ne doit pas être utilisé avec
des appareils à gaz. Il n’absorbe pas les
produits de combustion. En l’absence de
sortie d’aération, les gaz de combustion
peuvent être mortels.”
AVERTISSEMENT :
RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE
Toute intervention nécessitant d’accéder à des
composants électriques non isolés doit être
effectuée par un technicien agréé usine.
N’ouvrez AUCUN panneau d’accès nécessitant
l’utilisation d’un outil. Le non-respect de cet

DANGER:
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
Do not attempt to use this
ventilator with gas-red units.
This ventilator will not remove
products of combustion.
Unvented exhaust gasses
can be deadly.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
Electrical connections must
be made by a licensed
electrician.
CAUTION:
FIRE HAZARD
HEALTH HAZARD
The 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.
CAUTION:
SHOCK HAZARD
The ground lug of this
appliance must be connected
to a suitable building ground.
IMPORTANT:
Contact a licensed electrician
to install and connect electrical
power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
Damage due to being
connected to the wrong
voltage or phase is NOT
covered by warranty.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The ventless hood system is rated 208/240 volt single phase and requires a
15 amp electrical circuit for hood operation. A 208/240 volt 3 pole contactor is
provided for electrical supply and appliance interface connection. The ground
lug adjacent to the supply connection contactor must be connected to a
suitable building ground. All under hood appliances must be controlled by the
appliance interface. This interface will disable all under hood appliances in the
event the hood is switched off, the required lters are not in place, the airow
is less than the required minimum or the re suppression system is activated.
The supply connection and appliance interface contactor is located in the
electrical box below the Ansul re suppression mechanical actuator. Access
is provided through the front lift off door. This electrical box also houses a dry
contact relay for connection to a building re alarm system. Both Normally
Open and Normally Closed contacts are provided. The installation and all
connections shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code NFPA 70. It
is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to provide suitable wiring, exible
or rigid conduit, and an appropriate strain relief. Overcurrent protection must be
provided for all circuits.
SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Under hood appliances with a load of less than 30 amps can be controlled
directly by the supply connection contactor. Single phase supply connections
are made to contactor terminals L1 and L2. Three phase supply connections
are made to contactor terminals L1, L2 and L3. Appliance load connections are
made to contactor terminals T1, T2 and T3. See equipment interface option 1.
Appliances rated more than 30 amps must be controlled by a customer
supplied contactor. This contactor must be a UL listed, denite purpose
AC resistive air heating type, suitable for the appliance load. Single phase
connection to the hood is made to supply connection contactor terminals L1
and L2. Customer supplied contactor control circuits rated 208 or 240 volt AC
can be connected to contactor terminals T1 and T2. See equipment interface
option 2.
Customer supplied contactors with control circuits rated other than 208 or 240
volt AC can be controlled through single pole single throw switched contactor
terminals L3 and T3. See equipment interface option 3.
The ventilator will operate properly, and the 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.The grease bafe and lter pack are in position and serviceable, and
the ventilator pressure sensing system is satised.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM is comprised of a container of
Ansulex® Low pH liquid re suppression media and a system
pressurization canister, plus associated plumbing. Actuation controls
are located behind the front access panel.
Two FUSIBLE LINKS are utilized for automatic actuation of the re
suppression system. Additionally, the hood is supplied with a MANUAL
PULL STATION, which must be set-up at the time of installation by an
authorized Ansul® distributor.
The MANUAL PULL STATION allows for for manual emergency
shutdown of cooking appliance power, and actuation of the re
suppression system.
Three NOZZLES disperse the re suppression media. Two inner
nozzles protect the fan and plenum. The third, front mounted, nozzle is
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
When the re suppression system discharges, the cooking appliance
contactor is de-energized; and, the re suppression media is
discharged. Fire supression media will form an emulsion designed to
both smother and cool the fuels in/on the cooking appliance.
Two fusible links are used to detect re. One (165ºF) is located
between the grease bafe and lter pack, and is for protection from
a cooking appliance re. The other (212ºF) is located in the lter
plenum, and will protect against a re in the plenum. Either link melting
will discharge the re suppression media through all nozzles, disable
the cooking appliance and cause a buzzer to sound.
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.
M521 p/n 2M-Z18099 OpM WVU- Universal Hood
DANGER
FIRE HAZARD
Fire suppression system must
be charged and certied by an
authorized Ansul® distributor.
DO NOT attempt to modify or
bypass the re suppression
system.
An uncontrolled re can cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE:
If the re suppression system
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.
DANGER
BURN
HAZARD
Any additional remote pull station
must NOT be installed on the
front of the cooking appliances,
nor forward of the ventilator side
panels.
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.
Manual pull station is factory
installed on the left side (facing
the unit. It may, however,
be relocated to the right side
of the ventilator hood by an
authorized Ansul® agent.
