The Best Location for your GHOST:
The GHOST should be installed in your attic in a central location within
your home. Above a central hallway or at the top of a stairwell will provide the best airflow.
► Make sure that there aren’t any pipes, wires, rafters or air conditioning or heating ducts running through
the space where the GHOST will be installed. The GHOST can NOT be mounted vertically.
► Make sure that you have adequate exhaust area out of your attic. This can be accomplished with
a combination of roof, ridge or gable end vents. The GHOST requires a minimum of 9 square feet of attic exhaust area.
►
If your home has an engineered roofing system, care should be taken that the GHOST will fit within the truss layout.

Installation
T
ools and supplies needed:
You will need the following items: two pieces of 2x stock to match
y
our existing framing, a saw to cut the hole in the ceiling, a ham-
mer or screw gun to attach the blocking to the existing joists, a
Phillips head screw driver to attach the grille, weather strip mate-
rial and low expansion spray foam sealant.
1. The fan housing will fit either 16” or 24” on center
framing. Cut two pieces of 2x stock (2 x 6 or 2 x 8 etc.)
of the same dimension as the existing joists. Add these
pieces of framing to form a box between the joists
(Figure 1).
TIP: When the GHOST is to be installed in a hallway or
other location with low ceilings, some homeowners find
that building a box out of 2 x 10s or similar material will
raise the GHOST to a position where the sound level
will be reduced but the efficiency of the fans will not
be diminished. This box should not exceed 24 inches
in height.
2. Cut a hole in the ceiling under where the GHOST will
be installed. The hole should be no larger than
14 1/2"
x 22 1/2".
This will allow for the grille to cover the ex-
posed edges. The suggested method for making the
proper sized hole in the ceiling is; cut a pilot hole under
where the fan will be installed (Figure 2). From above,
using a saw, cut along the inside edge of the framework
removing the ceiling panel and any strapping within the
framework.
Do not damage electrical wiring or
other hidden utilities.
3. Install a foam weather stripping or other flexible mate-
rial (not supplied) on the top of the joists and added fram-
ing. This will serve to seal between the housing and the
framing as well as dampen vibrations. Check the joint be-
tween the ceiling and the 2x stock. Some types of ceilings
are spaced away from the joists. Any gap between the
2x’s and the ceiling should be sealed prior to final instal-
lation. (Figure 3) Use a low expansion spray foam sealant
(not supplied).
4. Set the GHOST lower housing onto the framing. The
lower housing will fit into the box with the mounting
flanges overlapping the framing.
DO NO T DR AG
TH E GHOST INTO POSITION AS THIS MAY
SEVERLY DAMAGE IT
.
5. Set the GHOST upper housing at an angle on top of
the lower housing, orienting the upper housing so that
the fan motor connections are located in the same cor-
ner (Figure 4). Push the fan electrical connection into
the fan electrical feed. The connectors are ‘keyed’ so
they will only connect correctly (Figure 5).

GHOST-Optional wiring
for fan operation
(control not included)
WARNINGS: State and local
electrical codes may require that
the GHOST be installed
by a licensed electrician.
Check with your local code
officials before installing.
The GHOST is not for use
with solid state controls.
Be sure to turn off power
before wiring the GHOST.
Figure 6.
Figure 7.
6. Rotate the upper housing until it lines up with the
lower housing. Make sure the edges of the two hous-
ings mate all the way around the GHOST (Figure 6)
and then pull the black attachment handles down over
their attachment posts (Figure 7).
7. If desired, secure the GHOST to the top of the joists.
8. Plug the connector from the GHOST into the Control
Box. Plug the Control Box into an unswitched,
grounded receptacle.
9. Install the ceiling grille (screws provided).
10. Check the unit for proper operation.
Operating your GHOST
Important - Be sure at least one window is open when the
fan is operating. The GHOST is controlled by the hand held
remote transmitter. The transmitter has two buttons; ON/OFF
and LO/HI. LO/HI controls the speed of the fan. The maxi-
mum run time of the fan or fan speed when operated by the
transmitter is 6 hours. See the Wiring section of this manual
for further details.
The line cord must
remain plugged into
a constant HOT outlet.
Hardwiring the unit to controls using the YELLOW, BLACK and
BLUE wires will allow for additional, manual operation. Use of
controls will override remote control functions. Recommended
controls are SPST switches and/or non digital spring wound
timers. Use of other controls will void the warranty.
LIMITED WARRANTY If, within the period of three years from the date of purchase, the GHOST (the Product) is defective or malfunctions
in normal home use, Tamarack Technologies, Inc. will repair or replace the Product, at its discretion. Customer is responsible for shipping charges.
NOTE: Some states codes require fans to be hardwired. HARDWIRING THE GHOST WILL NOT VOID WARRANTY PROVIDING THE WIRING IS
PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

limitations: THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE THAT HAS BEEN
UNDERTAKEN OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM

TIAL DAMAGES AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
PROOF OF PURCHASE REQUIRED.
Troubleshooting
If the wireless fails to activate the fan try the following:
• The battery may need replacing. The transmitter uses a type CR2016
battery. Remove the back plate from the transmitter and remove the battery.
Following the markings, replace the battery and secure the back plate
to the transmitter.
• Check that all the connections are tight and that there is power to the outlet.
• If wall switches are also used to control the Ghost, check to see that they
are not in use and overriding the hand held transmitter.
• The hand transmitter and the receiver may not be communicating. Try to
reestablish communication by following the instruction further along in
the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
If the doors are open but the fan is not rotating try the following:
• Check the electrical connection between the upper and lower sections
• Turn off the power and check for foreign matter blocking fan rotation
If the lift arm becomes detached from the door bracket it can easily be re-attached.
Inspect the pin for damage and replace if necessary. Cycle the whole house fan
until the doors are in the open position. Support the door and simply push the lift
arm over the tapered end of the pin.
