Electrical Guidelines

The following items will aid in completing the damper 

installation in a timely and effective manner.

1) Check the drawings for proper damper locations 

within the building. Visually inspect the damper for 
damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link 
(RRL) is in place and has not activated if provided. 
These electric links have a button for resetting. 
Visually inspect the fusible link (if provided) to verify 
its not missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.

2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not 

lift damper using blades or actuators.

3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating 

a ‘No Screw’ area. Do not install screws into this 
area as screws may interfere with unexposed blade 
linkage and prevent damper blades from opening 
and/or closing.

4) Damper has label indicating position of damper 

and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly 
to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL 
Classification file number.

5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening 

square and free of twist or other misalignment. Out 
of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations 
can cause excessive leakage and/or torque 
requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.

6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and 

protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials 
prior to and after installation. Examples of such 
foreign materials include but are not limited to: 
  a) Mortar dust 
  b) Drywall dust 
  c) Firesafing materials 
  d) Wall texture 
  e) Paint overspray

7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent 

overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be 
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive 
dirt or foreign material deposits on the damper can 
cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements 
to exceed damper/actuator design.

8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between 

the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening 
(annular space). However, caulking may be applied 
to the retaining plate.

9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRL’s and 

actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided 
for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not 
possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be 
necessary to install a removable section of duct. 
(Refer to NFPA 90A).

10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must 

evaluate and provide approval of final installation 
where variations to these instructions are necessary.

Electrical Guidelines

All wiring shall be done in accordance with the 
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 latest edition, 
any local codes that may apply, and wiring diagrams 
developed in compliance with the job or project 
design and specifications

Important!

Electrical input may be needed for this equipment. 
This work should be performed by a qualified 
electrician. Verify power before wiring actuator. 
Greenheck is not responsible for any damage to, or 
failure of the unit caused by incorrect field wiring. To 
avoid causing death or serious bodily harm to building 
occupants, follow all instructions carefully. Dampers 
must close completely to preserve the integrity of the 
fire smoke separation.
