DAMAGED FREIGHT CLAIM PROCEDURE
When the diffusers are received, inspect for damage, which may have occurred during shipment. If damage is
evident, it should be noted on the carrier's freight bill. A written request for inspection by the carrier's agent should
be made at once.
STORAGE
Cartons should always be stacked on end. Do not stack cartons flat on the sides. Excessive weight may cause
damage to the diffusers.
Do not store for prolonged times at temperatures exceeding 130°F(56°C). Acceptable humidity level 5-95% relative
humidity noncondensing.
IDENTIFICATION
Models are factory shipped one per carton. The model designation is on the diffuser and on the carton.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
When installing diffusers make sure construction debris does not enter the diffuser or duct system.
Because the EL controls room temperature by sensing the room air induced up from the room, care should be
taken not to disturb room air induction and entrainment

    Fan_output : Not used In_alarm : Refer to Acutherm EL Trouble Shooting Guide Power Failure Configuration values are stored in non-volatile memory so that the EL diffusers can resume normal operation when power is restored after failure. Input network variable values will be restored only if updated via network.
  • Page 8: Trouble Shooting

    Note: Diffuser noise is caused by higher velocity air through the diffuser which is caused by a high static pressure. Acutherm recommends a static pressure no higher than .25” wg/ 62 Pa but some system designers may accept higher noise levels and opt for a higher static pressure. Care should be taken not to exceed the design maximum static pressure at the takeoff to the first EF diffuser after the static pressure control or, if none, after the fan.
  • Page 9 Remove the controller cover and measure the voltage across the terminals marked heat. See sketch of controller. If the voltage is not according to the above table, complete step 3 “EL Electrical” before contacting Acutherm.
  • Page 10 If the resistance is outside the range, check the common terminal connections. If all common wires are in contact with the terminals and the resistance is still outside the range, contact Acutherm.

    An error message means resetting was unsuccessful. If so, try resetting by power off and then on. Wait 2 to 3 minutes after resetting before rechecking the condition of the EL unit. If it still has a communication problem or signals an out-of-range reference voltage, contact Acutherm. MAINTENANCE The moving parts of the EL diffuser have no maintenance or lubrication requirements.
