D896 AUTOMATIC VENT DAMPER
Location
The D896 must be installed
hood. See Fig. 1. Make sure the D896 motor actuator is
readily visible and accessible. The damper must be
located where air can freely circulate around it.
not
Do install the D896:
— where the stack temperature is higher than 575°F
(284°C).
— where the ambient temperature is higher than 150°F
(66°C).
— in small or enclosed spaces where the temperature
can exceed 150°F (66°C). See WARNING following.
— on the vent pipe curve. See Fig. 1.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE
VENT DAMPER WITHIN 6 IN. (152 mm)

WARNING
Severe illness or death possible. Prevent
explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Overheating can cause premature device failure.
Be sure the D896 is used to control only one
appliance.
CAUTION
Do not force damper open.
Damage to device can result.
Manually open damper using a screwdriver. Place
screwdriver in slotted knob (see Fig. 4.) and rotate

Mounting
The damper must be mounted as close as possible to the
draft hood without modifying the draft hood. The D896 can
be mounted vertically or horizontally. When vertically
mounting the vent damper, the motor actuator can be in
any position. See Fig. 2.
Horizontal mounting requires the motor actuator to be
located within 45 degrees directly above, or directly below
the stack pipe. See Fig. 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT
Never mount the vent damper with the motor
actuator above or below the vent.
not
Do install the damper blade plug if the vent damper is
installed on a system with a continuous or standing pilot.
The hole provides the minimum vent area required by
code for safe operation.
Use the damper blade plug when the damper is installed
on a system with either an intermittent pilot or direct
ignition. The plug increases system efficiency. See Fig. 3.
