WARNING: Improper installation,
adjustment, alterations, service or maintenance can
cause injury and property damage, as well as
possible voiding of factory warranty.
Receiving and Inspecting
To receive and inspect the unit, perform the following
steps:
1. Thoroughly examine the exterior and interior of all
units for transportation damage to the cabinet,
blower(s), motor(s), coil, electric heat, and
electrical components. Interior damage may occur
without visible exterior damage. If damage is
found, immediately file a claim with the carrier.
Note the damage on the bill of lading before
signing for the shipment.
2. Check the bill of lading to verify receipt of the
indicated items (including loose items). Notify your
local representative of any shortages or items
shipped in error.
3. Store the units in a clean, dry location, stacking no
more than four high, unless using original packing.
Installation
!
CAUTION: Do not use flow sensor,
connecting tubes, coil stub-outs or damper shaft as
a handle when lifting or moving equipment. Damage
to the flow sensor or controls may occur. In addition,
do not handle equipment-heating elements as
permanent damage may occur.
Unit Placement and Installation
To place and install the unit, perform the following
steps:
1. Before installation, remove the fan packing (if
provided) and foreign material from the unit
interior. Check the blower wheel for free rotation.
2. Do not handle the unit using coil stub-outs,
controls, probe, or damper shaft, as damage may
occur.
3. Make sure the installation conforms to local
building codes and to the National Electrical Code
(NEC).
4. Locate the unit in accordance with the project
plans.

Parallel Flow Fan Powered Terminal (Model TVS) Installation Instructions
5. Avoid unit contact with rigid objects such as
conduit, sprinkler piping, and support rods.
IMPORTANT:
Fan-powered unit location
should follow Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors' National Association (SMACNA)
guidelines with respect to proximity to downstream
transitions, take-offs, elbows, and tees.
IMPORTANT:
Fan-powered terminals should
never be installed over small, occupied spaces
where the wall partitions extend from slab-to-slab
(for example, fire walls or privacy walls).
6. Suspend the unit from the building structure in a
horizontal plane adhering to unit orientation labels.
Use the support method shown on the project
plans.
Note: Fan powered terminals are equipped with
sufficient internal vibration dampening means to
prevent the need for external vibration isolation.
When using sheet metal straps, up to 1" long
screws may be used to penetrate the main casing.
Do not secure hanging straps to unit equipment
such as (but not limited to) electric heater
cabinets, hot water coils, and control enclosures.
The unit may be equipped with optional hanging
brackets; rods up to 3/8" diameter may be used.
Four brackets are typically provided near the unit
corners. Hanger rod locations are approximately
1 1/2" to 3" from the corner of the unit for most
terminal configurations. Contact your local
representative if precise bracket locations are
required.
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the access
panels with support channels or straps.
