This manual contains detailed drawings of louver cover and batting placement for
various enclosures. Batting material is intended for use in applications subjected
to high winds and fine snow.
CAUTION!
Alpha Technologies highly recommends removing batting material in spring and replacing
it in fall. Batting material reduces air flow and may prevent proper cooling if left in the unit
during hot summer months. Refer to the drawing that matches your enclosure.
If required, follow manufacturer’s instructions for powering down the power supply,
and disconnecting the battery pack. Use EXTREME CAUTION when drilling into
the enclosure, always verify what is behind the area you are drilling into.
NOTE
CAUTION!
On some models, pre-stamped dimples (half-shears) mark the locations for
drilling rivet holes. For these models skip steps 1 and 2.
1. Center storm hood over the louvers. Verify that covers do not interfere with
locks, lids, doors or logos. Verify that no
structures, electrical boxes or
wiring are behind the area to be drilled. Reposition cover if needed.
2. Using a center punch, place a mark in the center of the rivet holes in the cover.
Remove the cover.
Set a drill stop collar 1/2” from end of drill bit to prevent damage to internal
structures.
3. Use a #28 drill bit (9/64”) to drill out the rivet holes.
4. Clean inside of louver cover using alcohol and a lint free rag. Allow to dry.
5. Trim batting material if necessary using scissors or a razor knife.
6. Remove tape backing and install batting material inside the louver covers
pressing it down firmly. See drawings for correct batting placement for your
model.
7. Using the rivets provided with the kit, install the cover.
