Installation
The entire system must be considered for safety purposes
and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all of
the equipment is installed in compliance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations, with due regard to the
current HEALTH AND SAFTEY AT WORK ACT and conforms
to all relevant statutory regulations. Where a unit is installed
so that a failure of components could result in injury to
personnel, precautions should be taken to prevent such an
injury.
IMPORTANT
Only experienced fitters should undertake this work. Take
necessary safety precautions when working in elevated positions
The AIRBEAM unit is specifically designed for wall mounting,
in the vertical plane only. A hole must be cut in the wall to
the following dimensions prior to installation; note the
difference in opening size between louvre and cowl housings
see
fig 2
. Trim the wall opening as required to make good.

Louvre unit
Remove the front louvre from the wall sleeve. To ease
installation, the fan should also be removed by removing the
fan fixing bolts, ensuring after installation the fan plate is
reattached in the correct position. Insert the unit in the
opening from the outside of the ventilated area, taking care
to avoid damaging the external finish (reducing the unit’s
resistance to corrosion).

IMPORTANT
It is the responsibilty of the installer to ensure that the unit is
installed in a manner which will not result in injury or damage
to either the unit or property.
When selecting the location for your Airbeam, it is critical to
ensure there are no immediate obstructions to the airflow as
this will cause a loss of performance.
These products contain rotating parts and electrical
connections which can be a danger and could cause injury,
although unlikely as all fans are fitted with motor side guards.
The axial fans utilised in the Airbeam range also generate
noise; it is advised that if activities have to be conducted in
close proximity to the working units the noise level should be
taken into account.
Taking the previously mentioned points into consideration, it
is advised that this unit should installed out of normal reach
of personnel.
