Indicator Panel Installation
Step 1. Selecting Panel Location
The DBF4XLT indicator panel mounts near the dryer in a location that will be visible to the
operator of the dryer. The indicator panel is supplied with 50 feet of cable. Ensure that the
indicator panel and booster fan are located to allow their connection with this cable.
Step 2. Wiring and Mounting Panel
The indicator panel is a low voltage device that is not required to be installed in an electrical
junction box. If provided with clearance for the cable and terminal block it can be mounted to a
wall using appropriate fasteners.
If installer chooses to mount indicator panel in a single gang junction box (by others), it should not
be installed in a box that contains line voltage wiring or devices.
On the end of the 50 foot cable with stripped wires connect red wire to the positive (+) position
of the terminal block on the indicator panel. Connect black wire to the negative (-) position of the
terminal block on the indicator panel.
Fan Installation
Step 1. Selecting Fan Location
The indicator panel is supplied with 50 feet of cable. Ensure that the indicator panel and boost
fan are located to allow their connection with this cable.
Fan must be mounted a minimum of 5 linear feet from the dryer outlet. In order to perform
recommended maintenance, fan location should allow sufficient access for service. Refer to
dimensional drawings shown on the next page.
NOTE: Steps 2 & 3 may be reversed.
Step 2. Mount Bracket
Using the 3/4" wood screws provided, attach the mounting bracket to a support beam at the
selected location. Fan mounting can be done at any angle (see illustrations on the top of the next
page), however, vertical mounting is recommended to reduce condensation buildup in the fan. If a
horizontal installation is necessary and condensation buildup may pose a problem, a 1/4" hole
drilled in the bottom of the housing (along with an NPT insert (by others) and drain tubing) may be
installed to allow condensation to drain.
Step 3. Mount Fan
For proper operation, the control box (located on the fan) needs to be positioned properly.
Illustrations on the top of the next page show the correct control box position for fans that are
mounted horizontally, vertically and at an angle. The control box should also be positioned to pro-
vide access to the indicator panel wiring and the tubing connections. Attach fan to the mounting
bracket with the self tapping 1/2" screws provided. Care should be taken not to strip the housing.
Although screw pilot holes are not required, 3/32" (or smaller) pilot holes are recommended.
Step 4. Connect Indicator Panel Cable
Connect the end of the 50 foot cable that has a two position connector to the receptacle located
on the dryer booster fan control box.
