Panasonic FV 0510VSL1 - Manual
This document serves as a comprehensive installation guide for the Panasonic PC-RD05C5 ceiling radiation damper. It provides detailed, step-by-step procedures for integrating the damper with various fan models, including WhisperGreen, WhisperCeiling, WhisperSense, WhisperFit, and WhisperValue. The instructions cover proper positioning on the fan inlet, securement with mounting hardware, installation of wiring brackets, attachment to the structural framework, and the setup of the drywall support assembly. The manual specifies that the unit is designed for horizontal mounting only and is certified to UL555C standards. It also outlines compatible UL-rated wood truss designs for floor-ceiling and roof-ceiling applications, accompanied by diagrams of components and assembly steps.
The guide includes translated sections in Spanish and French, detailing the components, installation steps, and certification marks for the non-combustible ceiling attenuator register.

1. Position the ceiling radiation damper on the inlet side of the fan such that the holes in the damper mounting flanges line up with the holes in the flange of the fan housing. Secure the damper to the fan housing using the four #10-32 machine screws/nuts supplied.
2A. For a damper used with a fan requiring a plug connector to pass through the damper, secure the plug connector using the wiring bracket and #8 course threaded screw supplied. (See Figure 2A) If the plug connector cannot reach through the damper to the grill plug attachments, release the clips holding the wiring inside the fan with a Phillips-Head screwdriver. make sure the wire lead or plug connector does not interfere with the closing of the damper.
2B. For a damper used with a fan that does not require a plug connector, secure the wiring bracket supplied to the damper frame using the supplied #8 course threaded screw supplied. Make sure the wiring bracket covers the notch in the frame. (See Figure 2B).
3. With the damper secured to the fan housing, the assembly can be attached to the structure above using the holes in the fan housing flange or the supplied mounting brackets. If the mounting brackets are used, position the mounting brackets under the damper mounting flanges or under the fan housing flange as required. Position the slot so it aligns with the holes in the fan housing and/or the holes in the damper mounting flanges (See Figure 3). If the damper/fan is being attached to the adjacent structure, the brackets must be used and adjusted to fit accordingly. If the damper/fan is supported from structure above, the brackets should be adjusted so the ends of the brackets align accordingly. Once the brackets are adjusted, attach them to the flange of the fan housing using four #10-32 screws and nuts supplied. A minimum of two fasteners per side is required.
4. The ceiling penetration should be located within ceiling tiles or panels without necessitating cuts in the ceiling suspension main runners or cross tees. If required, a maximum of one runner or cross tee may be cut to enable proper damper location and installation. Each cut end shall be supported by a min. 12 swg (2.7) vertical hanger wire. The opening in the ceiling should be the same size as the outside of the damper frame.
5. Position the damper/fan assembly such that the bottom edge of the damper is flush with the finished surface of the ceiling. Attach the damper/fan assembly to the structure above or adjacent to it. If the damper/fan is being attached to the assembly above, a minimum of 12 swg. (2.7) hanger wire must be used. A minimum of two hanger wires on two opposite sides are required. The hanger wires can be attached directly to the fan housing flange or to the ends of the mounting brackets. If the damper/fan assembly is being directly mounted to the adjacent structure, a minimum #8 (M4) sheet metal screws or 1/2" dia. bolts/nuts must be used. If necessary, a min. 1/2" wide flange is to be attached to the damper using a minimum #8 (M4) sheet metal screw, 3/16" pop rivets, welds or bolts at 6" (152) o.c. maximum. A minimum of 2 connections per side is required.
