INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When the AIR-IQ2 unit is viewed from damper side and labels on blades are right side up, unit orientaon is Front/Top end up.
• When viewed as Front/Top end up, right hand (RH) has drive rod as shown. Le hand (LH) has drive rod on le.
• The complete AIR-IQ2 unit can be installed vercally with the damper orientaon being right side up, or lying at.
• Ensure that the AIR-IQ2 Unit is installed allowing for future access to the EBTRON transmier, probes, damper side linkage, as well as the
damper jumper bracket.
• Duct work construcon and bracing must be sucient to support the AIR-IQ2 unit. Do not use the AIR-IQ2 unit to square up the duct. The
system must support the AIR-IQ2 unit. The AIR-IQ2 unit cannot support the system. For AIR-IQ2 units with two damper secons, ensure that
each secon is properly braced and supported.
• For single-secon, vercal blade applicaons, the AIR-IQ2 unit must be installed so that the linkage and probe cables are located at the top.
• A 12" long, hexagonal steel drive rod is provided as standard. Units are shipped with the drive rod inserted in the drive blade. Drive rod may
be extended up to 8" beyond the outside edge of the frame by loosening the U-bolt, drawing out the rod to the desired length and then
reghtening the U-bolt.
• If required, 24" and 36" long zinc-plated steel drive rods can be ordered.
• Before installing, inspect the AIR-IQ2 Unit for possible damage caused in shipping.
• If minor damage has occurred to frame corners or anges, correct by bending them back into posion gently, taking care not to disturb the
EBTRON sensor probes and transmier.
• Do not install the AIR-IQ2 Unit if damage is more than supercial, if uncertain as to extent of damage, or if the damper does not seal correctly.
Call TAMCO customer service at 1-800-561-3449.
• Operate the damper secon manually (on a at secon of oor) to verify correct blade acon and sealing.
1. To correctly verify sealing acon, loosen the hex nuts of the U-bolt located on drive blade. Extend the steel drive rod to maximum of 8"
beyond the outside edge of the frame. Re-ghten the hex nuts on U-bolt.
2. Using the drive rod, slowly apply closing torque, while ensuring that the damper frame does not twist due to torque being applied. (Larger
units may require an addional person to hold the damper frame square and true.)
3. If possible, use daylight or an inside light source as a backdrop to the vericaon procedure. No light should be visible through the damper.
CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO ENSURE FINGERS ARE NOT IN THE WAY OF MOVING LINKAGE PARTS OR BLADES.
VERIFY BEFORE INSTALLATION!

TAMCO’s all aluminum dampers are constructed with maintenance-free bearing and linkage components.
CAUTION: NEVER USE ANY LUBRICANTS, SUCH AS GREASE OR SILICONE ON TAMCO DAMPERS.
In applicaons where the humidity level is unusually elevated, or where there are extremely high levels of dust and dirt
parcles, TAMCO recommends that the damper linkage and bearing system should be cleaned once a year. This can be
done easily with the use of a domesc strength steam cleaner. The loosened dirt and water droplets can then be blown
out with compressed air.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO EBTRON SENSORS OR TRANSMITTER, NEVER APPLY STEAM, CLEANSER OR
COMPRESSED AIR TO THEM.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PROBES AS HANDLES TO LIFT AND/OR POSITION DAMPER. DAMAGE TO THE PROBES MAY OCCUR.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
FOR AIR-IQ2 UNITS WITH TWO-SECTION DAMPERS
REQUIREMENTS:
• Tubular or angled steel, structural support is required to resist applied pressure loads for AIR-IQ2 units with two-secon dampers.
MAXIMUM DEFLECTION:
• The structure providing intermediate support must be designed to resist the highest pressure load, with deecon of less than L/230. This applies
whether the pressure load is created by the mechanical system, or by wind load, or if the damper is mounted on the exterior of the building.
