III / Assembly and Installation-
A. KBA600, KBA1000 and KBA1800 Arrive from the factory ready to operate after it is removed from
the packing and the cabinet protective film is removed, remove the film by pulling down from the
top of the cabinet to expose the stainless steel surfaces. Only attachment of the collar, optional
ceiling kit or user supplied ducting is required.
B. KBP600, KBP1000, KBP1800, KBX600, KBX1000 and KBX1800 users will need to remove the
cabinet protective film by pulling down from the top of the cabinet to expose the stainless steel
surfaces and remove one or both cover plates on the supply air before operating and/or install the
duct collar to the top of the unit. See illustration. Remove the front cover plate by extracting the
4 screws on each corner of the front cover plate, replacing the screws into the unit when the plate
is removed. And/or removing the top cover plate by removing the 6 screws attaching the plate.
Install the included collar to the unit using the screws from the top plate, if using the unit to
produce negative air pressure. You may choose to operate the system with one or both plates
removed dependent on your application requirements. The front plate removed will direct the air
flow through the quad directional vents and the top plate removed will direct the air flow through
the top flange. When both plates are removed the supply air divides the airflow through both
openings.
C. Ceiling Kit- For all KBA, KBP & KBX systems (Optional Accessory used to create a negative
pressure in your space). The ceiling kit is comprised of a flange with foam tape, fasteners, 1 eight
foot length of flexible duct, duct clamps, and one 24”X24” replacement ceiling tile. The tile is used
in drop ceiling grids but is not limited to only that use. It can be used through any opening that is
approved for the filtered air to pass such as a window or a vertical opening in a wall.
Follow these installation steps:
1. Align the holes of the flange to the holes located on the top of the unit on the outside
perimeter of the installed collar; there is no need to remove the factory installed collar On 600
and 1000 models. 1800 models are equipped only with a 12” collar. Attach to the top of the
KBA, KBP or KBX unit using the factory supplied # 2 Phillips fasteners.
2. Attach the duct to the flange on the replacement ceiling panel; secure the duct to the flange
using the supplied clamp.
3. Install the panel in the ceiling grid or in your approved opening with the duct attached,
connect the open end of the duct to the flange on your KBA, KBP or KBX and secure with
supplied clamp. Be sure the area where you are ducting is approved for the filtered air.
4. **For Ceiling Kit Users** - This kit is used to create a negative pressure in your space by
ducting the filtered air out to a different sealed area, this allows fresh air to be pulled into your
space. Be sure the filtered air is approved to enter another space before installation. The
ceiling kit is not limited to ceiling use and may be used on any vertical or horizontal surface
