SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION
Read all instructions and review the installation diagrams provided on the following pages prior
to beginning installation. Also reference the product submittal drawings before proceeding.
CAUTION:
Wear eye protection, cut-resistant gloves, and clothing suitable for working
with sheet metal. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
1.
Verify the tag number located on the station label matches the HVAC schedule.
2.
Locate the duct section which the station is servicing and select a suitable mounting
location for the station.
NOTE:
the AccuStation does not require straight-run inlet conditions to operate properly,
however
it’s always best
to follow HVAC Best Practices for Commercial Buildings during
installation which includes locating the station away from transitions and bends to
minimize impact on system static pressure. Also, be sure to select a location that will
provide a minimum clearance of 14” (356mm) unobstructed access to the
transmitter
and station access cover.
3.
Provide an opening in the duct section sized appropriately for the station being
installed.
NOTE:
A slip-fit station will require an opening approximately 2
” smaller than the
station
length and a flanged station will require an opening the same as the station length. For
station dimensions, reference Section 4.
4.
Install duct hangers within 12” (305mm) from each end of the
station connections.
Reference Section 4 for station weights.
WARNING
:
Use duct hangers and hardware designed to support the total load of the
station and associated duct sections. Failure to do so may result in serious personal
injury or death.
5.
Install the station into the duct in accordance with the airflow direction label located on
the station. Position the station for easy access to the transmitter side. Since the
AccuStation is not position sensitive, it can be installed in any plane or rotational axis
without having impact on the performance.
NOTE:
Screws, nuts, fasteners, duct sealant, hangers, companion flanges and gaskets
are NOT provided by Accutrol.
