    ZyPer4K 5. Air vents shall be checked to make sure that they are free of accumulated lint or blockages. Should the air vents appear clogged use a vacuum cleaner with a soft-bristle brush attachment to loosen and draw the debris out of the vents and away from the unit. Do not loosen and blow the debris in to the unit as internal buildup of debris will degrade the ability of the unit to cool itself and reliability may be adversely affected.

    ZyPer4K Installation Environment The general area where the ZyPer4K unit is to be installed shall be clean and free of obstructions or clutter. Mounting Options • Unit may be mounted horizontally on the installed rubber feet • Unit may be bolted to a horizontal surface using the provided L-brackets with or without feet installed.
  • Page 89 ZyPer4K The optional L-Brackets allow for the ZyPer4K unit to be rigidly mounted flat to a cart, plate, wall, or any type of flat surface. The hole, cross, and slot cutouts allow for great flexibility in mounting When using the L-Brackets, first remove the screws and rubber feet on the bottom of the unit. Retain the screws as they will be used to affix the L-Brackets to the ZyPer4K unit body.
  • Page 90 The installer must provide the appropriate hardware to mount the L-Brackets to whatever surface is used. Drywall: When mounting to drywall, ZeeVee recommends use of Drywall anchors for #6 up to #10 hardware and washers appropriate to the size screw utilized. The recommended sequence of hardware would be;...
