Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Please read and save these instructions for future reference. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install,
operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure
to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of the product warranty and may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
Electrical Guidelines
RBD & RBDR Series dampers are driven by a 9 volt
actuator. The 9 volt power is supplied from a Greenheck
"EZ Balance" hand held remote. The "EZ Balance"
remote is plugged into a wall or ceiling jack that is
wired to the damper actuator using wire and connector
assemblies.
After the damper and wiring is installed, operation of
the damper and wiring circuit must be visually verified
by connecting the "EZ Balance" remote to the wall jack
and power up the unit. Using the switch on the "EZ
Balance" remote, run the damper through a complete
cycle from full close to full open and reverse back to
closed position. Document that proper operation has
been verified.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the remote balancing damper in the opening in such a manner
as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. The following items will aid in completing the damper
installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the drawings for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Do not install screws in damper frame that will interfere with blade linkage or prevent damper blades from opening
and/or closing.
4) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other misalignment. Out of square,
racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed
damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and
after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesafing materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed
within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on the damper can cause excessive
leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
Receiving and Handling
Upon receiving dampers, check for both obvious
and hidden damage. If damage is found, record all
necessary information on the bill of lading and file
a claim with the final carrier. Check to be sure that
all parts of the shipment, including accessories, are
accounted for.
Dampers must be kept dry and clean. Indoor storage
and protection from dirt, dust and the weather is
highly recommended. Do not store at temperatures in
excess of 100°F (38°C).
