have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges and energy savings. The grille covering the fan 
body is a spring-attached, quick removal type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses
a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. 

These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
