Fan Kits

FK24 Fan Assembly

This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the circulation of the heating air.

The FK24 fan kit allows variable speed control of the circulation fan and also incorporates a heat sensor in the circuit.

Specifications

115 Volt / 60Hz / 56 Watts

Maintenance

The fan itself does not require regular maintenance, however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding area is required.

Check the area under the control door (lower louvre assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum this area at least once a month during the operating season.

Installation

The fan assembly and other components are supplied fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation.

If hard wiring the fan using Method B (following), we strongly recommend the use of a licensed electrician.

1.Open the lower louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan & bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines to locate the unit onto the screw studs on the back of the fireplace.

2.Install the thermal sensor under the bottom of the of the firebox, locating it over the two 10 mm studs and secure it with nuts.

3.Locate the fan speed control unit. This can be fitted behind the lower louvre assembly as in Figure 48 or located remotely in a conveniently located wall mounted electrical box. Remote location of the speed control will require suitable extension of the component wiring.

4.The power supply may be connected in two ways:

Method A

Route the 6’ lead fitted to the unit to a conveniently located wall socket.

Method B (Using EB-1 Receptacle Box)

The EB-1 receptacle box (Pt. # ZA1200) may be hard wired into the house supply. The fan lead is then plugged into the EB-1 box. For instruction on wiring the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box see the earlier chapter in the Installation section of this manual.

FK12

This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the circulation of the heating air.

The FK12 Fan Assembly is a fixed speed fan system and does not allow for variable speed control. It does not use the speed control unit or the heat sensor used in the FK24 Kit.

Specifications

115 Volts / 60 Hz / 56 Watts.

Maintenance

The fan itself does not require regular maintenance, however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding area is required.

Check the area under the control door (lower louvre assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum this area at least once a month during the operating season.

Installation

The fan assembly is supplied fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation.

1.Open the lower Louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan & bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines to locate the unit against the back wall of the appliance, resting on the base.

2.With the protective cover removed from the self- adhesive ‘Velcro’ strips apply mild pressure to the fan & bracket unit to secure the strips to the metal panels. No further securing is required.

3.Power to the fan can be supplied by plugging the supplied lead into a conveniently located wall socket or by using a hard-wired EB-1 connector box.
