How To Install The Privacy Glass

1.Check each privacy glass before installation

1) Do not install the privacy glass if it has problems of the wrong size, breakage on the edges, scratch, abrasion or shortage.

2) Do not remove the label of the privacy glass supplier unless the architect asks to do so.

3) In compliance with instructions and drawings of the HC Smart glass.

2. Put the gaskets inside the frame according to the normal width and thickness, avoid to let the glass gravity work on the electrodes (the wires bars) directly (especially when the electrodes direction is down).Waterproof and gas-prevent seals should be provided on the corners and the joints for the gaskets.

3.Pay Attention to the connecting of the electric wires during the switchable glass installation.

4. When using HC Smart glass under humid conditions, attention should be paid to the safety of circuit during the installation

Installation method

Before the privacy glass leaves the factory, the edges have been protected with sealing material, aiming to prevent the component of the glass glue erode into the interior of HC Smart glass, so it needs to be confirmed the sealing material is in a good condition before installation.

Firstly, on the place of installing the privacy glass, make the frame around the flat glass according to the structure. In the middle of the groove up the frame, half width of the glass, drill holeφ15mm—φ20mm. If need to install multi pieces glass sheets, must drill hole in the same position of each piece.

A pair of wires should be put outside the hole in advance, the diameter of the wire is φ0.5mm, the length is 2.5m, 300mm should be left inside the frame in advance, put the wire from the hole of the up frame to the centre of the frame or put them to the place of controller (need to be discussed).

Make the frame must make sure the switchable glass installation is in the same plane and vertical to the ground.

Use adhesive tape to stick all around the inwall of the frame. Special attention must be paid to install one piece glass and then fix it when placing the Smart Switchable glass, which means fixing link stopper on. If install multi pieces Smart Switchable glass, need to adjust the space between the two glass 3-5mm, and it is the same to other pieces.

Connect the wire of each glass sheet to the power control box. Fix the link stopper all around and all the contacts in the inwall of the glass and the link stopper should be adhered with rubber strip.

After installing, fixing the power control box and checking the power on condition of each glass, then process the entire joint-trial. Seal treatment should be done to the glass for the out decoration of the frame.

The most important things is to use special designated nonacid glass glue provided by HC, otherwise HC will not be responsible for any damage drafted by glass glue.

Maintenance

To prevent privacy glass broken after installation ,put the edgings into a frame . Don’t do anything for installing the glass, unless guide by the architect.

Notice: The downfall, the welding sparks, or any other used for glass surface, may cause permanent damage.

Cleaning

Regularly clean glass is necessary, but can not be used the cleanser with abradability, especially when glass surface is reflection coating .After using the soft cloth with neuter soap or weak acid (vinegar) liquid , must be cleaned with water and dry immediately .

Glass protection

After installation ,architect , contractor or users must take the responsibility of protecting and clean glass .The steel easy to rust and alkaline substances will hurt glass surface .It is absolutely cannot use the cleanser with abradability, especially when glass surface is reflection coating . The dusty from installation, or any other used for glass surface, may cause an irremediable damage.
