Hood Mounted Temperature Sensor
When the Larkin AFC-DCV is ordered with a Larkin Industries hood model, the temperature sensor will be factory
mounted in each hood, so no field installation is required. Any AFC-DCV ordered for a non-Larkin hood(s), or
Retro-fit application, the temperature sensor(s) will have to be field installed in each hood controlled by the
system. A 3/4”- 7/8” diameter hole must be cut in the top of the hood(s), and the compression seal(s) with
sensor(s) installed as shown in (Figure 4).
Figure 4
Note:
Mount sensor(s) in top of the hood(s) centered front to rear and as close to the center of the hood left to
right as possible. Mounting sensor between a light and the end of the hood may be required on shorter hoods.
CAUTION:
If sensor is located too close to a light fixture, the heat generated could activate the system. The
sensor(s) should be centered between lights.
Wiring Instructions
The Larkin AFC-DCV components are all prewired. The field wiring required to connect the Control Box to the
hood(s) and breaker panel should be made in accordance with the wiring diagram provided with these instructions
and the NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements.
CAUTION! More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before
servicing. Ensure all power sources have been disconnected before installing or servicing the system.
High voltage electrical input is needed for this system. Only a qualified licensed electrician should
perform this installation.
