Sure-Aire™ Flow Monitoring System

®

This instruction manual provides installation, operating, maintenance, and other information for the Sure-Aire™ 
series differential pressure electronics.

Receiving

Upon receiving the electronics, check to ensure all items are accounted for by referencing the packing list. Inspect 
each crate or carton for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of any damage detected. The 
customer will make notification of damage (or shortage of items) on the packing list and all copies of the bill of lading 
which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged, immediately contact your local sales representative. 
Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, 
report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. 

Storage

Electronics are protected against damage during shipment. If the electronics cannot be installed and operated 
immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration during storage. The user assumes responsibility 
of the electronics and any accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during 
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.
The ideal environment for the storage of electronics is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which 
is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 
30

°

 to 110

°

F (

-1° to 43°C

). Wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts. All 

accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Removing from Storage

As electronics are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and 
maintained in a similar fashion until the control goes into operation. Environmental Operation Range: -4

°

 to 140

°

(

-20° to 60°C

).

1.    Mount the electronics in the vertical plane using four (4) #8-32 screws, field supplied. Open the front cover by 

unscrewing the two captive thumb screws to gain access to the four mounting locations.

    

Note:

  Mount the Sure-Aire™ electronics within 75 feet of the termination plate on the fan.

WARNING

When wiring the electronics, you must follow industry standard practices for controls and protect against 
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good ESD practices may cause damage to the electronics.
