Practical tip

1. Use this unit in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have any questions,

please contact the manufacturer.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch

power off at service panel and lock the

service disconnecting means to prevent

power from being switched on accidentally.

When the service disconnecting means

cannot be locked, securely fasten a

prominent warning device, such as a tag,

to the service panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must

be done by qualified person(s) in

accordance with all applicable codes and

standards, including fire-rated

construction.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper

combustion and exhausting of gases

through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning

equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow

the heating equipment manufacturer’s

guideline and safety standards such as

those published by the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA), and the

American Society for Heating, Refrigeration

and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),

and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,

do not damage electrical wiring and other

hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the

outdoors.

7. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or

shower, it must be marked as appropriate

for the application and be connected to a

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) –

protected branch circuit.

8. NEVER place a switch where it can be

reached from a tub or shower.

9. This fan must be properly grounded.

10. Do not use in the cooking area (Figure. 1).

11. Do not block the air intakes or exhaust.

12. Power supply wiring is to be No. 14 AWG

wire or larger (suitable for at least 90°C

(190°F) ).

13. Not for use outdoors.

14. The fan must not be installed in a ceiling

with an “R” rating greater than 40.

15. The fan is type IC (Inherently Protected).

16. To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan

at least 7 feet (2.1m) above the floor.

17. Acceptable for use over a shower or tub

when installed in a GFCI protected branch

circuit.

18. The fan should not be turned on or off

rapidly.

19. Do not clean the fan with corrosive

chemicals or water in excess of 60° C

(140° F).

20. If the fan is not operating properly, shut

the power off immediately, and have a

certified installer inspect it and have it

serviced as required.

21. Fan must be mounted to structural

members that are strong enough to

support the fan’s weight.

22. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the

fan; this could result in electric shock or

fan damage.

Caution:

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use

to exhaust hazardous or explosive

materials and vapors.

2. This product is designed for installation in

flat ceilings only. Do not install it in a

sloping ceiling or in a wall.

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy

unbalanced impellers keep construction

material / dust from entering the fan.

4. Please read specification label on the

product for further information and

requirements.

Assembly

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air ow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the

shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.

Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their

rated air ow.

Please remove duct assembly and blower assembly before installation.

1. Install EZ Mounting Frame

2. Install Duct And Housing

Attach duct assembly to frame using provided (1) 1/4" screw. Before

inserting the housing, first pull the locking tab located opposite of the

duct collar and push housing into the frame. Release the locking tab

so that it temporarily holds the housing in place. To secure permanently

in place, use the remaining (2) 1-inch screws as shown in the illustration.

3. Install Blower Assembly (Only necessary if installing a contractor pack)

Install blower assembly in housing and secure with screws.

4. Install Junction Box And Ductwork

Remove junction box cover and connect electrical wiring (refer to wiring diagram. Note:

1/2" strain relief not provided). Finish by replacing the junction box cover. Connect the

round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the ductwork to a

roof or wall cap (not included). Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork

connections so that they are air tight.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of building has a strong effect on the air flow,

noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for

best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.

Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans

installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

Wiring diagram

Run 120 Vac house wiring to the location of the fan. Use only UL-approved connectors (not included) to attach the field wiring to the

wiring plate. Refer to the wiring diagram, and connect the wires as shown.

Install the Grille

To attach the grille assembly to the fan housing. Insert the sensor plug into the mating

receptacle on the power box. Pinch the grille springs on the sides of the grille assembly,

and position the grille into the housing with the grille springs in the appropriate slots.

Push the grille assembly towards the ceiling to secure.

Maintenance

For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appearance - lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the dusting brush

attachment.The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises, replace

the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.

Keep all electrical components away from water. Do not use corrosive chemicals or water in excess of 60C (140°F) to clean plastic

parts.

Operation

See “Connect Wiring” for details.

The control box, located inside the fan housing, has three separate

adjustments:

(1) The low airflow knob(s) adjusts the lower airflow from 40CFM up to

the air flow rate of the high fan speed determined by the toggle switch

setting.

(2) The Humidity Sensor Knob set user adjustable setpoint (50%-100%

relative humidity).

(3) The toggle switch will adjust the upper fan speed setting from

80 to 140 CFM.

MOTION SENSOR

The fan will run continuously at the pre-set low speed. When motion is

detected, the fan speed increases to high speed. When the person exits the

area, the fan remains working at high speed until the delay time has passed

(20 minutes). After the time delay, the fan speed is reduced to the

continuous ventilation rate. Installation distance: 7 to 9 feet. Sensing range

is within the cone angle of 90°

HUMIDITY SENSOR OPERATION

The humidity-sensing fan uses a sophisticated humidity sensor that responds

to: (a) rapid to moderate (user-adjustable) increases in humidity or (b)

humidity above a user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% relative humidity).

The fan run continuously, at a preset lower level (set by the low speed

control Knob) and automatically boost up to high speed when environmental

conditions change. After delay timer (20 minutes), the fan returns to the

default low speed. If the fan continuously responds to changing environmental

conditions, “H” (means “humidity”) adjustment may be required. This figure is

factory-set for about 75% (Ambient temperature of 25°).

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The “H” has been factory set for most shower applications. However, if the

fan is in a tub area or is being used for dampness control, the “H” may need

to be increased toward maximum “+”. If the control is responding too often

to changing environmental conditions, movement toward less “-” “H” may be

required. To adjust the “H”:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.

2. Through the grille, locate the slot marked “H”.

3. Carefully rotate the “H” adjustment toward “+” or “-”.

4. Turn on power and check operation by turning on the shower or other

humidity source until the fan turns on.

5. Repeat above steps if necessary.

When the temperature changes, humidity sensor values will have deviation.
