2.1b) Between Jamb, Under Lintel Mounting:
If the Habitat Screen will be installed inside an opening rather
than on a surface, hold the unit inside the opening and determine its fit. The prime concern will be to ensure
that the habitat screen is level, plum and true. Many openings are not true and level so it may be necessary to
fill any gaps with wood shims or alternative filler materials.
SECTION THREE: PREPARATION FOR THROUGH WALL OPERATOR APPLICATIONS
In this section, determine how the operator exits the Habitat Screen and interacts with the surrounding wall. If
the operator does not penetrate a wall, ignore this section. Refer to the applicable type of operator.
3.1a) Crank Rod Operator with Gear:
If the connector rod of the universal will travel through a wall, look
for an exit hole of approximately Ø3/4" (Ø19mm) diameter in one of the corners in the lower or middle back
of the panel box. Hold the panel box and rails against the opening and mark the location of the hole on the
opening. Then insert the connector rod and universal through the back of the panel box into the gear and note
the pitch of the rod. The pitch will often be somewhere between horizontal to 45º downward. Do not secure
the panel box to the wall at this time, this will be done in Section 5.
On the marked location, drill a pilot hole of approximately Ø3/8" (Ø10mm) in diameter through the wall being
sure to follow the same pitch as observed above. Have a helper safely hold a piece of wood over the location
the hole will exit the interior wall. This will help maintain a clean finish to the hole on the interior wall. The
drilling must be performed at the pitch that was previously determined. Once the pilot hole is satisfactory,
increase the diameter to ؽ" (Ø13mm). The hole must be straight and allow no side-to-side movement.
3.1b) Motorized Operator:
An exit hole for the power cable of approximately Ø3/4" (Ø19mm) diameter will
need to be drilled in one of the back corners of the panel box. The hole is not drilled at the factory because of
site variation. Remove the lid and look for the motor side. Proceed to drill a hole of desired size and location
within the panel box endplate. Hold the panel box and rails against the opening and mark the location of the
hole on the opening. An electrician should cover any cable exiting the panel box with a sleeve to prevent cutting
of the wires by the endplate. On the marked location the electrician will drill a hole of approximately Ø3/8"
(Ø10mm) diameter horizontally through the outer layer of the wall. The electrician will later run the wires
through the inside of the wall into the hole at the back of the panel box. The hole in the wall should be located
where the endplate of the panel box will be ins
talled. This allows an area of 7/8” wide (from extreme outside
of panel box) x 5” tall from top of guide rail for this hole to be contained within.
