INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect the crating carefully. If there are signs of damage, call the freight carrier before uncrating the units.
Carefully uncrate the units. Check all local codes prior to installation, special requirements may be necessary
depending on local building material construction.
** Important note ** Do not leave unit (s) exposed to extreme temperatures for an extended period
of time, this may cause the protective PVC coating around the unit (s) to become very difcult to
remove.
2. Position the hood near the actual installation site. In case of multiple hoods, check the engineered set of
drawings for locations. Pay close attention to collar sizes and re protection layouts, matching the hood
systems to the correct location shown on the drawings provided.
**Check item numbers on crates / hoods vs. drawing item numbers.
3. Once the hood is carefully removed from the shipping crate and set in position, the unit is now ready for
installation. If Halton Company has supplied a backsplash assembly, then the splash assembly should
be installed rst, for installation procedures. (See pg. 4)
4. Hang the hood using ½” threaded rods by attaching the rods to the hood through the hanger brackets that are
welded to the top of the hood. Use of turnbuckles will make nal adjustment easier. Standard hanging height
for canopy hoods ranges from 78” min. to 84” max. above the nished oor (per local codes having
jurisdiction). **Noted in installation instructions - (see pg. 6).
**All typical installations for Capture Jet® series hoods shown on pages 18-22.
5. If Closure Panels are supplied by Halton (see pg. 8) for details on the installation.
6. For multiple hoods end to end, or back to back (see pg. 7) for Installation of Splice Strips and U-Channels.
7. For hoods equipped with a supply re damper, it is very important to make sure that the re damper is set in an
open position before connecting the supply duct.
For units with exhaust re dampers, (see pg. 9), or supply re dampers, (see pg. 10) for installation
details.
8. Electrical circuits should be connected according to standard switch panel wiring diagram, shown on (pg. 11).
For Halton Capture Jet® series hoods, a typical wiring diagram is shown on (pg. 12).
9. Grease lters and grease cups must be installed in place before start-up.
10. Install 100 watt maximum light bulbs in standard incandescent lights or uorescent bulbs (36” L or 48”L) in
uorescent lights. **Note: Halton does not provide bulbs.
11. Protect the hood from damage under normal job site conditions, until all work is complete and system is ready
to be put into operation.

OPERATION OF SYSTEM
1. After installation is complete, it will be necessary to check and balance the airows. On the Capture Jet®
line of hoods, Halton supplies T.A.B. (testing and balancing) ports for measuring the pressure drop. These
ports are located on the inside of the canopy on each plenum. (Exhaust and Capture Jet®).
For details on their use (see pg. 13). For hoods without ports, use of standard practices (duct traverse /
average velocity / etc) for measuring airows will be required.
**It is very important that the fan for the Capture Jet® air be balanced according to specications.
See the job specic information for required airows. Adjustments to the Capture Jet® fan can be made
with the speed controller supplied with the fan. This speed controller will be mounted inside or on top of the
hood, or mounted in an electrical enclosure.
Information regarding the fan and speed controller (see pg. 12).
2. Each Halton Capture Jet® hood system will have a “KSA” lter remover (model KFR). The “KFR” will be
packaged separately, inside the hood, the box will be labeled “Attn: Kitchen Mgr. “ Model KFR instructions on
(pg. 14). The KFR will assist in removal of the lters for assembly and cleaning.
3. After the exhaust and supply airows have been properly balanced, a nal inspection should be made to
ensure proper system operation.
HOOD MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the hood canopy inside and out as needed with mild soap and water. Never use harsh or abrasive
cleaners on Stainless Steel or Painted surfaces, making sure to wipe clean all interior and exterior
surfaces of the hood including the light xtures.
** Never clean the hood canopy when any of the surfaces are hot.
2. Clean the lters and grease cup(s) daily, rst washing by hand, and then placing them into a dishwasher or
by steam cleaning.
** Handle the Grease lters carefully **

This example shows how to determine the correct T.A.B.
port reading for the exhaust hoods.
In this example, a design airow of 1700 cfm is selected
from the Airow axis, and a vertical line is drawn up to
the T.A.B. pressure curve for this hood.
A horizontal line is then drawn for the T.A.B. pressure
curve to the T.A.B. reading axis on the left-hand side of
the chart and the corresponding pressure is read off the
chart as 0.19 inches of Water Column.

T.A.B.™ - Testing and Balancing Ports
The Capture Jet® and exhaust air flows are easily and
accurately determined by measuring the pressure
difference from the T.A.B. (Testing and Balancing)
ports mounted in each plenum. The corresponding
air flows can be read from the diagram provided.
To properly measure T.A.B. port readings use a
magnehelic gauge or digital manometer and for
exhaust plenum reading hookup hose from negative
connection on instrument to T.A.B. Port on exhaust
plenum. Leave positive connection on instrument
open to atmosphere.
**** It is very important the cooking equipment is in operation to create a thermal plume, prior to the air balancer, to be able
to use the T.A.B. ports.
****For accurate results, the balance contractor should receive a copy of the job specic hood plans with the design T.A.B.
readings from the hood supplier prior to balancing.

Halton AccuFlow
Overview
The AccuFlow by Halton is a Bluetooth equipped device intended to monitor the exhaust airflow rate
of Halton Capture Jet hoods and alarm kitchen staff if the hood is above or below design. The device
(shown below in Photo 1) has two taps (Photo 2) that are connected to the exhaust hood to monitor
the differential pressure between ambient air and the exhaust plenum; the T.A.B Port reading.
AccuFlow installs in Capture Jet plenum for easy viewing and access. The device shares an electrical
circuit with the Capture Jet fan.
Photo 1 – Halton AccuFlow
Photo 2 – AccuFlow Pressure Taps
Exhaust airflow rate is determined in the same fashion as other Halton Capture Jet hoods; each
hood has a unique K-Factor dependent upon model. The actual airflow is compared to the design
value and an alarm is enabled if airflow is above or below the specified range.
Connects to ambient (room) air
Connects to T.A.B. port

Operation
Each AccuFlow is programmed at a Halton Company manufacturing facility. To program the device,
the Bluetooth feature is enabled and personnel input necessary parameters. Programming can be
completed with a Windows Mobile enable smart-phone (PDA) or PC with the required software installed.
Programmed values include: Design Airflow, High Airflow Delta, Low Airflow Delta and K-Factor.
Design Airflow is determined using the Halton HELP software and the Low and High Airflow Delta are
defined as +/- ten percent of design airflow. K-Factors have been determined by Halton Research and
Development personnel.
Bluetooth capability also allows an Authorized Service Agent to determine the airflow of an exhaust
hood on site if an alarm is present. This information can be conveyed to Halton personnel for
troubleshooting.
Alarms
Alarms are enabled when design airflow is above or below ten percent of design airflow. An alarm is
visible on the front of the Accuflow, see Photo 3 below.
Photo 3 – AccuFlow Alarm Location
Indications of alarm status (under or over design) are printed on the device. If the LED indicator is
steady, the hood is at design airflow. Alarms are differentiated by the number of blinks per second;
1 blink per second indicates the hood is under design, 2 blinks per second indicates the hood is over
design.
