Preparing the Exhaust Fan

1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the

exhaust fan you should have:

1 - Grill with Glass Light Lens

1 - Damper Assembly (attached)

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound performance, it

is recommended that the length of ducting and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restrictions. This fan will require at least 6" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted directly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the sides of the housing or between 16” on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails.

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next

to the joist. Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails with screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the housing into the final position (Figure 1).

2. Mounting Tab Installation: Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so

that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Position the fan so that the tabs rest flat against the joist and secure with four nails or screws (not provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 2).

Existing Construction 1a. Mounting Rail Installation: Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling material (Figure 3). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the rails on the housing and position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails to the joists with nails or screws (not provided) (Figure 1). www.airkinglimited.com 6728087 Rev. D 1-16 2 of 12 1b. Mounting Tab Installation: Position housing against the joist and trace an outline of the housing onto the ceiling material (Figure 4). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Place housing next to the joist and insure that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure with four nails or screws (not provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 2).

1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 5). Secure in place using tape or

screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. NOTE: If damper detaches from unit, reattach by snapping the collar back onto the unit. It is designed to only fit one way.

Wiring CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. NOTE: This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside, you will need to remove the blower assembly and internal wiring compartment. Both methods are equally effective. 1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 6). Housing Joist Mounting Rails Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 5/8" 1/2" 1/4" 3/8"1b. Internal Wire Compartment: Remove the screw holding the blower assembly in place. Lift up on the assembly and tilt it at a 45° angle to remove from the housing (Figure 7). Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place the cover in a secure place (Figure 8). NOTE: If the fan motor plug is connected to the fan housing receptacle, unplug so the blower assembly can be completely removed. 2a. Wiring Fan/Light Independently: Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and two hot (black lead connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle. 2b. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the first black wire from the wall switch to the red wire from the fan’s light receptacle. Connect the second black wire from the switch to the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan’s grounding screw (Figure 9). Use approved methods for all connections. 3a. Wiring Fan/Light together: Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (black lead connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires to the housing w ith an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle. www.airkinglimited.com 6728087 Rev. D 1-16 3 of 12 3b. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the black wire from the wall switch to both the red wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the black wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan’s grounding screw (Figure 10). Use approved methods for all connections.
