Planning the Installation

Backdraft Damper

We recommend that a backdraft damper be used in all Vent Hood installations. Cold weather installations necessitate the use of a backdraft damper to minimize the flow of cold air into the room. A non-metallic thermal break should also be installed to mini- mize conduction of outside temperatures through the ductwork. Locate the thermal break as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

Planning the Installation

Before beginning installation of the Island Vent Hood and Ventilator, PLAN OUT the entire installation procedure beforehand, considering the following areas:

HOOD SIZE & LOCATION- (The hood should be as wide or wider than the cooking appliance with the hood being centered on the appliance. Vertically, the bottom of

the hood should be between 30”-36” above the appliance cooking surface.)

DUCTING- (ducting transitions, air must flow to outside, use of Backdraft damper...etc.)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS- (120 Volts, 60 Hz, 15 AMP Service, Local

Codes...etc.)

ADEQUATE MOUNTING SURFACES- (To support the weight of the vent hoods, location of ceiling studs, additional support for safe ceiling mounting...etc.)

HANDLING NOTE- This Hood has been inspected prior to shipping to be free of defects. Due to the weight of the Island Vent Hood and Ventilator; and to prevent scratching or denting the unit, we recommend the use of two installers to move, place, and secure the Vent Hood to avoid personal injury or damage to the Hood.

IVH-48 specifications

The DCS IVH-48, an advanced multirole helicopter, represents a significant leap in rotorcraft technology, enhancing operational capabilities across various mission profiles. Designed to meet the demands of both military and civilian aviation, the IVH-48 combines an array of innovative features, state-of-the-art technologies, and superior performance characteristics.

One of the primary features of the IVH-48 is its modular design, which allows for easy reconfiguration for different missions, whether they involve troop transport, reconnaissance, or medevac operations. This versatility is achieved through interchangeable mission kits that can be quickly installed or removed, making the helicopter adaptable to rapidly changing operational needs.

Powered by a pair of high-performance turboshaft engines, the IVH-48 boasts impressive speed and altitude capabilities. The engines are coupled with advanced digital engine control systems that enhance fuel efficiency and reduce pilot workload. Its top speed exceeds 150 knots, and it can operate effectively at altitudes of over 20,000 feet, allowing it to perform in high-altitude environments where lesser helicopters struggle.

The IVH-48 features a fly-by-wire control system, which improves handling precision and stability, particularly in turbulent conditions. This system allows for smoother operation and reduces pilot fatigue during long missions. The helicopter is also equipped with advanced avionics that facilitate navigation and communication, including multifunction displays, autopilot capabilities, and enhanced situational awareness systems.

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of the IVH-48. It incorporates crashworthy features, including a reinforced airframe and energy-absorbing seats. The helicopter is also outfitted with advanced threat detection systems, making it capable of operating in hostile environments.

In terms of payload capacity, the IVH-48 can carry a substantial amount of cargo or personnel, with significant internal and external load capabilities. Its spacious cabin can accommodate up to 12 fully equipped troops or can be configured to transport medical patients, making it ideal for humanitarian missions and emergency services.

Overall, the DCS IVH-48 stands out as a formidable helicopter that blends cutting-edge technology with operational flexibility. Its advanced features, robust performance, and safety measures make it an invaluable asset across a range of missions, reinforcing its status as a leader in modern rotary-wing aviation.
