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.

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.
