Panasonic FV 0511VK2 - Manual

Panasonic FV 0511VK2

This Installation Manual covers Panasonic’s ceiling radiation damper (model PC-RD05C5), designed to reduce radiant heat transfer in HVAC systems, particularly with Whisper-series fans. Key topics include mounting configurations–such as securing the damper to fan housings and ceiling structures–using UL-certified hardware for both non-combustible and combustible ceilings, and ensuring compatibility with specific wood truss designs. The manual emphasizes horizontal installation and highlights UL555C certification requirements across various fan models.

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.
6. For other installation details see Panasonic Installation Instructions.
