Some Randell Air Systems canopy hoods will be designed with our patented Air Volume  
Controllers (AVC) located directly behind the standard filter bank. The AVC are specially  
designed to exhaust high volumes of air over high heat - high grease producing equipment  
thereby reducing the total exhaust volume.  
HOOD WITH AIR VOLUME  
CONTROLLERS  
The AVC were factory set, based on the cooking equipment specified on the approved  
drawings, therefor the AVC will not have to be adjusted. AVC ‘s can be removed for hood  
cleaning also. If, however, the cooking equipment has changed or should change in the  
future, the following procedure should be followed.  
AVC ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Remove all grease filters from the hood.  
2. Loosen retaining screws on channels holding the AVC at each end.  
3. Slide AVC up or down as needed. The higher the AVC is moved the greater will be  
the exhaust volume.  
4. Reset the retaining screw at the desired position.  
5. Replace grease filters.

MAKE-UP AIR HOODS  
2. Operate all exhaust fans even those serving other hoods, supply fans, make-up air  
unit and building HVAC system.  
3. Turn on all cooking equipment under the hood and preheat to operating temperature.  
4. Produce large quantities of smoke or steam.  
5. Observe capture of vapors.  
6. If all vapors are not totally captured, fine tune the system by adjusting the air  
volume control damper installed in the supply collar. Slightly reduce the amount of  
supply air directed under the hood until full capture is obtained.  
7. Check total pressure in building. Pressure should not exceed .02 negative pressure.
