Damper Specifications

• The damper is not required if using a recirculating kit.
• The damper is controlled by a pressure switch and independently powered.
• It can work with any blower or vent system, including in-line blowers.
• It is connected to 120V supply, and the transformer installed reduces the power supplied to 24V.
• The damper opens when a range hood is operating. Creating a known, controlled point for fresh air to enter the home while air is being exhausted from the building by the range hood.
• When in use, gravity and the exhausted air force the damper open and closed. Dampers provide two key benefits for the home:
• Facilitates air exchange between indoors and outdoors, by drawing fresh air into the home to replace exhausted air.
• Helps avoid negative pressure conditions within the home, which may interfere with the proper operation of combustion equipment within the home by drawing in the fresh air.
