Manually Operated Shutter
Models S24 - S60
1) These shutters have two tiebars. Before mounting the
shutter motor to the shutter, position the shutter motor on
the bracket as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5, depending on
shutter motor model. Mount the motor and bracket to the
bottom of the inside face on the back of the shutter. Holes in
the shutter frame are pre-punched. Position the bracket so
that it is attached to the shutter frame along both the bottom
and side (See Figure 1). Use the nuts and bolts provided to
attach the bracket to the shutter frame.
2) With the shutter in the closed position, place a small
S-hook in the lower center hole in the left tiebar. Manually
rotate the operator arm so that it is pointing up. Cut the chain
linkage to the correct length and attach it to the small S-hook.
Attach the other end of the chain linkage to the large S-hook
on the operator arm. Crimp the S-hook closed. Remove and
discard the extra chain from the large S-hook in the operator
arm. Discard the extra S-hook, which is not used.
4) Check the voltage on the motor. Connect the wiring and
test the shutter’s operation. Adjust the linkage if necessary.
1) These shutter models consist of two panels divided by a
center rail. Before mounting the shutter motor to the shutter,
position the shutter motor on the bracket as shown in Figure 4
or Figure 5, depending on shutter motor model. Mount the
motor and bracket assembly to the bottom center of the
outside face on the rear of the shutter (See Figure 2). Holes in
the center rail and the bracket are pre-punched. Position the
bracket by aligning the holes in the left side of the bracket
with the holes in the center rail. Bolt the bracket to the center
rail using the 1/4” nuts and bolts provided.
Note: To avoid interference, the bolts must be
inserted with the heads on the inside of the shutter
and the hex nuts on the outside (bracket side).
2) With the shutter in the closed position, place a small
S-hook two of the center holes located in the factory-mounted
pull bar. Manually rotate the operator arm so that it is pointing
up. Cut the chain linkages to the correct length and attach
them to the S-hooks. Crimp the S-hooks closed. Connect the
other end of the chain linkages to the large S-hook on the
operator arm. Crimp the large S-hooks closed.
4) Check the voltage on the motor. Connect the wiring and
test shutter’s operation. Adjust the linkage if necessary.
1) The chain linkage should be mounted as outlined
previously for motor operation. Refer to gure illustrating
linkage for correct shutter model.
2) For manual operation, attach extra link of chain to S-hook
at point where operator arm is shown in gure.
3) Drill a hole (9/32” dia.) in the lower rail of shutter frame as
shown in Figure 3. Attach the eye-bolt with the provided
hardware as shown.
4) Thread the chain through eyelet of eye-bolt. Fasten chain
anchor on wall below shutter to provide anchor for lower end
of chain when shutter is in the “open”position.
3) Mount a return spring to the shutter frame using the
clamping screw. Align the return spring parallel to the chain
linkage. Connect the return spring wire to the upper center
hole in the left tiebar. Adjust the tension to hold the shutter
blades rmly closed. Discard the extra return spring.
3) Connect the return springs to the shutter frame using the
clamping screws. Align the return springs parallel to the chain
linkages. Connect the return spring wire to the upper center
hole in each tiebar. Adjust the tension to hold the shutter
blades rmly closed.

Pre-Installation Check of Shutter.
Before installation, carefully check for shipping damage which
may aect the operation of the unit. Concealed damage to the
shutter is possible. If damage is found, le a claim
immediately with the delivering carrier.
DO NOTINSTALL FAN W ITH MOVING PARTS WITHIN 8
FEET OF FLOOR OR GRADE LEVEL W ITHOUT A GUARD
THAT COMPLIES WITH OSHA REGULATIONS. DO NOT
USE UNLESS ELECTRICAL WIRING COMPLIES WITH
ALL APPLICABLE CODES. DO NOT WIRE WITHOUT
PROVIDING FOR A POWER SOURCE DISCONNECT AT
THE FAN ITSELF. DO NOT SERVICE EXCEPT BY A
QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN AND ONLY
AFTER DISCONNECTING THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTIONWARNING

Fan Shutter Spacing.
For improved fan performance and extended fan and shutter
life, a space equal to one-half of the propeller diameter
between the fan and shutter is recommended. If job
conditions will not provide recommended space, the
following minimums should be observed:
S24 - S48 ............................ 5 inches
S54 - S84 .............................7 inches
Installation Procedures.
CAUTION: The Type S shutter is made up of many precision
made parts. For the shutter to function properly, care must be
taken when mounting and installing to avoid damage.
a) Do not twist the shutter frame or force shutter when
attaching it to the wall opening.
b) Caulk around the edge of anges and wall to prevent
water leakage.
c) When face-mounting the shutter to a wall, caulk joint of
top ange and shutter frame. See Fig 1 and Detail 1.
d) When ush mounting the shutter, caulk joint of bottom
ange and shutter frame, and also under weep holes
(recommended bead of caulk along the bottom edge of the
shutter frame before ange is attached) see Figure 2 and
Detail 2. After the ange is attached, caulk under weep hole to
avoid leaking behind the ange. Do not block weep holes with
caulk.
Note: When ush mounted, the bottom ange must
be behind the bent edge of the bottom ller strip
(see Detail 2). Wall opening should be a minimum
1/4” larger than the shutter frame.
Alternate Installation Methods.
All shutter models are shipped with anges detached (but in
the same carton as the shutter). This allows the shutter to be
mounted either to the outside face of the wall opening
(Figure 1), or recessed into the wall opening and ush with the
outside wall (Figure 2). The shutter may also be mounted
without the use of anges if desired.
e) If the shutter is mounted without the use of anges, do not
attach to the wall opening through the side of the shutter
frame. Instead, use angle clips and holes through which ange
is normally attached.
f) On 42”- 60”shutters, the center anges (two shortest
anges) need to be mounted to the center frame rail of the
shutter in order to minimize air and water leakage. The rear
center ange, which has 5 holes, mounts to the tiebar (or
blade linkage) side of the shutter. The front center ange,
which has 3 holes, mounts on the opposite side of the shutter.
Note: When attaching the top and bottom anges
to the top and bottom frame rails of the shutter,
make sure that the large hole on the corner of
the ange ts over the rivets on the corner of the
shutter frame. See Detail 2.
