Installing End Skirts; Electrical Connections; Hood Lights / Fan And/Or Thermal (Tempering) Switches / Keypads Or Touchscreens (Vari-Flow) - Accurex XB Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Installing End Skirts

1. After the hood is hung in position, line up the top of
the end skirt with the end panels of the hood.
2. Drill a hole in the hood end panel to line up with
the hole in the end skirt. Attach the end skirt with a
1/4 in. bolt and cap nut to the inside of the hood, or
tack-weld the end skirt to the hood.
3. Position the end skirt against the wall and attach.
The method depends on the wall construction.
(Fasteners provided by others).
4. Caulk the internal joint formed by the end skirt and
the hood end panel with NSF Approved silicone
caulk (GE SCS1009 or its equivalent). The caulk is
not provided.
5. To allow for ease in cleaning, also caulk all the
external seams.

Electrical Connections

See pages 25-28 for more wiring details regarding the
fire system, fan control and switches.
Hood Lights
If the hood is provided with lights, a junction box will be
located on top of the hood for field connections. Use
minimum 14 AWG copper wire. Light bulbs will not be
provided (unless equipped with LED tube style fixtures).
For incandescent or compact fixtures, standard light
bulbs up to 100 watts may be used.
CAUTION
For multiple hood systems that have more than 14
lights total, incandescent or fluorescent, the hood
lights must be wired to multiple circuits. Each circuit
must have less than 14 lights total.
WARNING
All 120 VAC field wiring (or higher) must be high
temperature rated and must be routed through hard
or flex conduit. All low voltage field wiring should be
plenum rated if not routed through conduit. All wiring
should not come in contact with the surface of the
hood.
Hood Light, Fan and/or Thermal (Tempering)
Switches
If the hood is provided with hood light, fan and/or
thermal (tempering) switches and the switches are
located on a hood mounted utility cabinet or on the face
of the hood, a junction box will be located on top of the
hood for field connections and must be connected in
the field (unless factory-wired). Use minimum 14 AWG
copper wire for all 120 VAC field connections. Standard
switches will be rated for 15 amps. Higher amperage
switches are available upon request.
Keypads or Touchscreens (Vari-Flow)
If the hood system is equipped with a Vari-Flow control
panel, it may be equipped with either a keypad or
touchscreen that can be mounted on a hood-mounted
utility cabinet or mounted on the face of the hood. The
keypad/touchscreen may be factory connected and
wired to a female-to-female connector on top of the
hood where the field will have to run factory-provided
cabling from this connector back to the control panel.
See the Vari-Flow wiring schematic and Installation and
Operation Manual for more details.
Plenum LED Puck Lights
If the hood is provided with plenums equipped with
120 VAC LED puck lights, a junction box will be
located on top of the plenum for field connections. Use
minimum 14 AWG copper wire for field connections.
Each light uses 3.5 watts.
