MOUNT THE SWITCH (See special
The sail switch counterbalancing springs are calibrated
for proper operation when the sail switch case is mounted at
true level for horizontal air flow applications, or plumb for
vertical air flow applications. Proceed as follows, using the
mounting template provided.
1. Mount the template at desired location. BE SURE
THAT THE ARROW INDICATING AIR FLOW POINTS
IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. Level the long dimension
shown on the template for horizontal mounting. Plumb this
dimension for vertical mounting.
2. Cut the hole indicated on the template in the ductwork.
3. Center punch the screw holes indicated and drill out
with a lN inch drill.

trademark tab can be snapped out and rotated 180 degrees so
it will be upright for any vertical mounting position.

Next, remove the ground screw on the sail switch to prevent
interference with the L-shaped bracket. Mount the sail switch

NOTE: The sail switch makes at about 250 fpm and breaks
at 75 fpm. In an average residential system that produces
500 fpm in the return air duct, the switch will make at
approximately 50% and break at 1570 of the maximum air
flow rate. In a system where air flow maybe as high as
1000 fpm the switch will not break until the airflow drops
to about 7.5% of maximum. To retain the original on-off
ratios of air flow, mm the sail. Trim about 1-1/2 in.
[38 mm] horn the sail for 1000 fpm air velocity and
proportionally more or less for higher or lower velocity.
Correct trimming is important. If sail is too long, it will
flutter and the wire frame may break prematurely; if it is
too short, the switch may not operate.
5. Press the sides of the wire loop together. Insert the sail
into the duct.
6. Before fastening the switch in position, check to make
certain air movement will operate the switch. In the off
shown in Fig. 7.
