CALIBRATE IQ BLOWER

SYSTEM™ (WC34IQ)

INTERNAL BLOWER DUCTED UNITS ONLY

After the hood is installed and wired, engage the calibration process (our Guaranteed Performance System Technology to ensure full-rated airflow is being delivered). Prior to calibration, ensure that all filters, light bulbs and duct system are installed.

CALIBRATION PROCESS Fig. 24.

Hold the calibration button for 3 seconds; calibration button will light up and stay on for up to 13 minutes. The blower will start and begin the calibration process. When calibration is complete, one of two things will occur:

  1. The blower turns off and calibration button light stays on = Successful calibration. Press the button to turn off the LED. Note: The LED will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.

  2. The blower turns off and calibration button light blinks continuously = Too much restriction in the ductwork is preventing the IQ Blower System™ from achieving the rated airflow. The blower is automatically set to maximum intensity.

NOTE: Common items that cause restrictions: restricted damper flap (backdraft damper, wall cap, roof cap), too many elbows, duct size less than 80% of hood outlet, poor transition, use of flex ducting and/or crushed ducting.
