Installation Planning and Preparation Electrical Supply Requirements Installation Planning • The power for this blower is supplied via 1/2" 3-wire wiring/conduit (not included) by an approved Dacor hood or raised vent. The wiring/conduit is installed between the hood or raised vent and the blower and shall be terminated on each end by a 1/2" UL certified strain relief. The power is turned on and off by the power switch on the approved ventilation device. • The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the hood or raised vent and the blower from a grounded, single phase circuit that is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. The circuit must have the capacity to supply the combined power requirements for the hood or raised vent and the in-line blower. See the installation instructions for the hood or raised vent to determine total power requirements in combination with the blower electrical specifications. Model Number* REMP3 REMP16 Power Requirements** 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 3.8 Amp 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 2.7 Amp Blower Rating*** 600 CFM 1000 CFM * All models are thermally protected. ** In addition to the hood or raised vent *** Nominal rating at 0 inches static pressure. See Technical Data section for actual ratings. The above specifications are for reference only, See the data label on the blower for exact specifications. If the above specifications vary from the label on the blower, use the data on the blower label. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the power supply is installed by a licensed electrician. The electrical installation must comply with the latest revision of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest revision) and local codes and ordinances. A copy of the specification may be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101 If the electrical service provided does not meet all product specifications, or does not conform to the NEC or local standards, do not proceed with the installation. Call a licensed electrician to correct the electrical service before proceeding. System Layout warning To avoid the risk of fire due to the unit overheating: • DO NOT install this blower with a hood or raised vent that has an internal blower. • DO NOT install more than one blower to increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw by the hood or raised vent. • Consult the installation instructions for the raised vent or hood for complete layout and duct system planning instructions. Observe all location and duct system design instructions. • The remote blower needs to be wired to turn on when the raised vent or hood is turned on by routing wiring/ conduit parallel to the duct work. Connect the wiring/ conduit to the raised vent or hood on one end and the remote blower on the other. There is a 7/8" electrical access hole on the bottom of the blower. Blower Location and Mounting • Install the blower in a location that allows it to be accessed for service if necessary. There must be enough room to remove the top cover of the unit and enough room to access the power terminals and mounting holes located inside. • The mounting location needs to allow for a cutout under the unit for the duct and wiring/conduit to pass through the wall or roof into the blower assembly. See Figure 1. • The mounting location must allow for a clearance of at least 15" (381mm) between the blower air discharge and any obstructions (vents, pipes, etc.) See below.
