DAMAGED FREIGHT CLAIM PROCEDURE

When the diffusers are received, inspect for damage which 

may have occured during shipment. If damage is evident, it 

should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A written request 

for inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made at once.

STORAGE

Cartons should always be stacked on end. Do not stack 

cartons flat on their sides. Excessive weight may cause 

damage to the diffusers. 
Do not store at temperatures exceeding 130°F/56°C.

IDENTIFICATION

The model designation is on the diffuser and on the carton.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

When installing diffusers, make sure construction debris 

does not enter the diffuser or duct system. 
Because the model TK-HC controls room temperature by 

sensing the room air induced up the center of the room, 

care should be taken not to disturb room air induction and 

entrainment. For example, location next to walls or dropped 

lights results in the reflection of primary air back at the 

Therma-Fuser diffuser and should be avoided. A three-way 

blow Therma-Fuser diffuser should be used in this instance 

if either the light or the Therma-Fuser diffuser cannot be 

relocated.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect the carton for damage before opening. Notify

carrier if external damage exists. Submit all claims for

shipping damage to the carrier.

2. Move diffusers (in cartons) to installation area. Note unit

identification.

3. Remove cardboard box and other packaging. Discard

packing material.

4. If other than 4 way blow pattern is factory installed, note

the “AIRFLOW” markings on the top of the diffuser and

locate those sides in the proper direction.

5. Install in ceiling grid. Install T-bar support wire close

to each corner of diffuser. Make sure that only wire

suspended T-bars are used to support diffuser weight.

(Adaptor frames are available for other ceilings.)

6. Connect and secure the supply duct to the collar.

Flexible duct should NOT be formed in a centerline

radius of less than 1½ times the duct diameter (9

in/230mm radius).

7. Do NOT reset the temperature set point on the TK-HC

model until the space is occupied. It is factory preset for

average conditions (74°F/23°C).

8. Balance the system. See 

System Balancing

.

9. After the air conditioning system is started and 

after

the space is occupied

, where necessary adjust the

temperature set point on TK-HC models to suit the

occupant. See Adjusting Temperature.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating instructions for model TK-HC are located on the 

back of the appearance panel.

OPENING THE APPEARANCE PANEL

(TK-HC, TK-C, TK-D)

The appearance panel is attached with a latch clip on one 

side and hinges on the opposite side.

To open the appearance panel 

(on a Therma-Fuser diffuser

installed in the ceiling):
1. Locate the side of the Therma-Fuser diffuser to the right

(clockwise) from the thermostats.

2. Using two hands, one on each side of the latch clip

bracket, place your fingers above the appearance

panel and firmly pull down to disengage the clip. The

appearance panel will rotate and hang down vertically

on the hinges.

To close the appearance panel:

1. Rotate the panel upward.
2. Latch the panel by pushing the clip into the small square

hole in the bracket.
