TWO WAY BLOW, OPPOSITE — D2

When blocking for direction with the Acutherm directional 

baffles shown above, the air volume for a given static pres-

sure is reduced from max. flow listed in the performance 

guide by:

Note that in some instances, even though the pattern is satis-

factory for most applications, the block off is not complete. 

As a result, a three-way ST model is ineffective for inducing 

room air up a wall or window. DO NOT USE A 3-WAY ST 

MODEL TO INDUCE ROOM AIR UP A WALL OR WINDOW.

FIELD INSTALLING BLOW PATTERNS

Acutherm directional baffles are best installed one side at a 

time. To do this:
1. Open Therma-Fuser diffuser. ST-C and ST-HC.

a.  Open appearance panel. See 

Opening the Appearance 

Panel

, Pg. 2.

b. Push the balancing lever to the right and up. See 

Fig. 3

.

2. Remove the two corner screws that attach the channel 

assembly on the side to be blocked off. Make sure you are 

blocking off the correct side. The side with the thermostat 

should always be blocked first.

3. Slide the Acutherm directional baffle between the channel 

bracket and the housing. The slots in the baffles must be 

away from the housing and toward the bottom of the dif-

fuser.

4. Replace and tighten the two corner screws.
5. For two-way blow patterns, repeat the above steps for the 

second side to be blocked off.

BLOW PATTERNS

Blow Patterns are added by blocking off the air on the appro-

priate sides with Acutherm directional baffles. To increase 

capacity and throw from the unblocked sides, the baffles fold 

around the diffusion disc. See 

Fig. 10

.

Fig. 10 Directional Baffle Location

The rule for blocking the appropriate side is: ALWAYS 

INSTALL DIRECTIONAL BAFFLES ON THE THERMAL ELE-

MENT SIDE OF THE THERMA-FUSER DIFFUSER.
