AIR-IQ2 AIRFLOW MEASUREMENT SOLUTION

• When the AIR-IQ2 unit is viewed from damper side and labels on blades are right side up, unit orientation is Front/Top end up.

• When viewed as Front/Top end up, right hand (RH) has drive rod as shown. Left hand (LH) has drive rod on left.

• The complete AIR-IQ2 unit can be installed vertically with the damper orientation being right side up, or lying flat.

• Ensure that the AIR-IQ2 Unit is installed allowing for future access to the EBTRON transmitter, probes, damper side linkage, as well as the

damper jumper bracket.

• Duct work construction and bracing must be sufficient to support the AIR-IQ2 unit. Do not use the AIR-IQ2 unit to square up the duct. The

system must support the AIR-IQ2 unit. The AIR-IQ2 unit cannot support the system. For AIR-IQ2 units with two damper sections, ensure that

each section is properly braced and supported.

• For single-section, vertical blade applications, the AIR-IQ2 unit must be installed so that the linkage and probe cables are located at the top.

• A 12" long, hexagonal steel drive rod is provided as standard. Units are shipped with the drive rod inserted in the drive blade. Drive rod may

be extended up to 8" beyond the outside edge of the frame by loosening the U-bolt, drawing out the rod to the desired length and then

retightening the U-bolt.

• If required, 24" and 36" long zinc-plated steel drive rods can be ordered.

⚠ ⚠

TAMCO's all aluminum dampers are constructed with maintenance-free bearing and linkage components.

CAUTION: NEVER USE ANY LUBRICANTS, SUCH AS GREASE OR SILICONE ON TAMCO DAMPERS.

In applications where the humidity level is unusually elevated, or where there are extremely high levels of dust and dirt

particles, TAMCO recommends that the damper linkage and bearing system should be cleaned once a year. This can be

done easily with the use of a domestic strength steam cleaner. The loosened dirt and water droplets can then be blown

out with compressed air.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO EBTRON SENSORS OR TRANSMITTER, NEVER APPLY STEAM, CLEANSER OR

COMPRESSED AIR TO THEM.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE PROBES AS HANDLES TO LIFT AND/OR POSITION DAMPER. DAMAGE TO THE PROBES MAY OCCUR.

VERIFY BEFORE INSTALLATION!

• Before installing, inspect the AIR-IQ2 Unit for possible damage caused in shipping.

• If minor damage has occurred to frame corners or flanges, correct by bending them back into position gently, taking care not to disturb the

EBTRON sensor probes and transmitter.

• Do not install the AIR-IQ2 Unit if damage is more than superficial, if uncertain as to extent of damage, or if the damper does not seal correctly.

Call TAMCO customer service at 1-800-561-3449.

• Operate the damper section manually (on a flat section of floor) to verify correct blade action and sealing.

1. To correctly verify sealing action, loosen the hex nuts of the U-bolt located on drive blade. Extend the steel drive rod to maximum of 8"

beyond the outside edge of the frame. Re-tighten the hex nuts on U-bolt.

2. Using the drive rod, slowly apply closing torque, while ensuring that the damper frame does not twist due to torque being applied. (Larger

units may require an additional person to hold the damper frame square and true.)

3. If possible, use daylight or an inside light source as a backdrop to the verification procedure. No light should be visible through the damper.

CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO ENSURE FINGERS ARE NOT IN THE WAY OF MOVING LINKAGE PARTS OR BLADES.
