Accessories and Components Needed
In addition to the fans themselves, you will need at least
some of the following optional accessories and equipment
which is not supplied but which can be purchased separately.
·
Thermostats — thermostats for interior installation.
Digital or analog versions are available.
·
Air Outlet Vents — Various decorative and protective
covers and directional vents usually installed flush with
the wall to vent heat from the heating fans.
·
Fan Guards — to protect the fan blades from
damage, recommended for fans installed in storage
areas or other accessible areas where something could
contact the fan blades.
·
Screws — #10 sheet metal screws or wood screws to
mount the fan units. See Figure 5-2: Mounting a
Spacesaver Fan.
·
Two-Speed Fan Switches – to enable low and high-
speed settings from inside the coach; for use with a
variety of ITR Cabin fans.
·
Three-Speed Fan Switches — to enable low,
medium and high-speed settings from inside the
coach; for use with the ITR defrost heater.
·
Air Ducting — to allow for installation of fans in a
remote location (i.e. not directly adjacent to the space
to be heated) and duct the heated air to its needed
location. Also, air outlet plates to allow ducting for
one, two or three separate outlets (e.g. one fan can be
used to heat two different areas by installing a dual air
outlet plate).
5.3 What NOT to Do
·
Don’t install more fans that require more heat than
the Oasis® Zephyr™ HW can produce. Your system
will not run effectively.
·
Don’t mount the return air outlet too close to the
fan’s air intake source.
