INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

SECTION 1

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
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4-Mounting Rails
1 - Mounting Flange
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

1. 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, the radius of each elbow be as large as possible for the installation, and that insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restrictions. This fan will require at least 10^ of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount through drywall up to 3 / 4'' thick.

2. No additional vibration deadening materials are needed for this fan.

SECTION 2

New Construction

NOTE: If the mounting flange is installed on the fan housing, remove the two screws that connect the ceiling mounting flange to the housing and set aside (Figure 12).

1. Install the rails into the mounting channel on the housing. Center the mounting channel in the slots on the housing, then from inside the housing tighten the mounting channel nuts so the channel is securely in place. Position the housing next to the joist. 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).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction

NOTE: If the mounting flange is installed on the fan housing, remove the two screws that connect the ceiling mounting flange to the housing and set aside (Figure 12).

1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling material (Figure 2). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the rails into the mounting channel on the housing. Center the mounting channel in the slots on the housing, then from inside the housing tighten the mounting channel nuts so the channel is securely in place. 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 (Figure 1).

SECTION 4

Ducting

NOTE: 6^th OR LARGER RIGID DUCT IS RECOMMENDED FOR BEST PERFORMANCE.

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

NOTE: The ducting from this fan to the outside of the 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.

1. Connect the ducting to the fan's duct collar (Figure 3). Secure in place using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. It is recommended that low restriction termination fittings be used.

1. Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to minimize building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or fan to in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 4).

SECTION 5

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 ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING CAL 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 5).

1b. Internal Wire Compartment: If the motor is already installed in the housing, remove the two screws holding the blower assembly in place. Lift up on the assembly and slide it out of the tabs on the housing (Figure 6). Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place the cover in a secure place (Figure 7).

NOTE: If the fan motor plug is connected to the fan housing receptacle, unplug so the blower assembly can be completely removed.

Standard and Motion Sensing Models

2a. Run wiring from an approved wall switch (not included) 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 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 chosen to access the fan's junction box, connect the white wire from the house to the white wire from the fan's receptacle. Connect the black wire from the wall switch to the black wire from the fan's receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan housing (Figure 8). Use approved methods for all connections.

NOTE: The fan's receptacle wires might need to be pulled outside compartment for connection. Only pull the five loose wires outside of compartment. Additional wires will be present.
NOTE: Unit must be grounded according to all local and national codes.

Humidity Sensing Models

3a. For proper operation the humidity sensing fan will require a 3 way switch (not included). Run wiring between the fan and the switch location. Make sure you leave enough wiring in each box to make the connections. At the switch box connect the black wire from the house to the common terminal of the switch. Connect the black wire from the fan to one of the switched terminals on the switch. This position will energize the automatic mode and the fan will energize upon a rise in humidity. Connect the yellow wire from the fan to the other switched terminal on the switch. This position will activate the Manual On feature and energize the fan. Properly connect the ground and neutral (if applicable) mount the switch and the cover.
3b. From where you have chosen to access the fan's junction box, connect the white wire from the house to the white wire from the fan. Connect the wire from the automatic position on the wall switch to the black wire from the fan, connect the wire from the manual On position on the switch to the yellow wire from the fan. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan housing (Figure 9). Use approved methods for all connections.

NOTE: The yellow wire may contain a wire crimp nut which will have to be cut off and the wire stripped.

1. Carefully tuck wire back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover securing with the screw that was removed earlier.

SECTION 6

Completing the Installation

1. Use a sealant appropriate for contact with the building materials present and for the temperature requirements of the installation to prevent air leakage from unconditioned spaces is recommended. If gaps between unit housing and ceiling are great, additional material (backing rod, ceiling material) may be required.

NOTE: This fan is rated for direct insulation contact (Type IC) and it is recommended that this fan be completely covered by insulation in order to reduce heat loss or gain to unconditioned space.

1. If the fan's blower assembly was removed during the wiring process, reinstall the blower by reversing the directions in Section 5 (Wiring), Step 1b.
   3a. STANDARD MODELS: Plug the fan's 2 pin and 3 pin quick connect motor cords into the corresponding receptacle located on the wire compartment cover. These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 10).

3b. HUMIDITY SENSING MODELS: Plug the fan's 2 pin and 3 pin quick connect motor cords into the corresponding receptacle located on the wire compartment cover. Connect the two pin connector from the humidistat compartment to the two pin connector from the side of the wire compartment cover. These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 10).

3c. MOTION SENSING MODELS: Plug the fan's 2 pin quick connect motor cord into the receptacle located on the side of the wire compartment cover. Plug the 3 pin quick connect motor cord into the shorter end of the included harness then into the receptacle located on the top of the wire compartment cover These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 11).
4. Install the ceiling mounting flange to cover any gaps which exist between the housing and the finished ceiling. Put sealant (not provided) on inside edge of the ceiling mounting flange to ensure that the flange is sealed to the ceiling. Line up the screw holes in the ceiling mounting flange with the screw holes on the inside of the housin the ceiling. Reinstalling ceiling flange mounting

NOTE: If the housing is mounted too far or not far enough into the ceiling for the flange to make a solid connection, loosen the mounting channel and adjust the housing up or down on the rails. Once in place, fully tighten the mounting channel nuts.

5a. STANDARD AND HUMIDITY SENSING MODELS: Install the grill by squeezing the two ends of the springs together and installing them up into the slots on the fan's housing. Push the grill up into position (Figure 13).

5b. MOTION SENSING MODELS: Install the grill by squeezing the spring furthest from the motion sensor together and installing it up into the slot furthest from the wire compartment on the fan's housing. Attach the 3 pin quick connect from the motion sensor on the grill to the harness installed in Step 2a. This cord will only fit one way into the receptacle. Install the other spring in place and push the grill up into position (Figure 14).

1. Restore power and test your installation.

SECTION 7 Programming the Occupancy Sensor

1a. Setting the Occupancy Time Delay. This will set the amount of time the fan will continue to operate after the room is vacated. Locate the motion sensor on the fan's grill and press the button 2 times. The LED on the sensor will then flash the number of times to indicate the current setting, this will repeat 3 times:

1 time = 30 seconds
2 times = 2.5 minutes 6 times = 12.5 minutes
3 times = 5 minutes 7 times = 15 minutes
4 times = 7.5 minutes 8 times = 17.5 minutes
5 times = 10 minutes 9 times = 20 minutes

1b. To adjust the setting, while the sensor is still flashing from Step 1a, press the button the number of times that corresponds with the amount of time you desire, for instance 3 times sets the delay to 5 minutes (see numbers in Step 1). The sensor will then flash the number of times for the new setting 3 times before exiting back to the programming mode.
2a Setting the Minimum On Time. This sets the minimum time the fan will operate once motion is detected within the room. This works in conjunction with the Occupancy Time Delay feature set in Steps 1a and 1b. For instance if you set the minimum time on for 15 minutes and the Time Delay for 5 minutes, the fan will operate for at least 15 minutes then 5 additional minutes.

NOTE: This is a minimum time that the fan will operate. If the room is occupied longer, the fan will continue to run until the room is vacated and the occupancy time delay has elapsed.

2b. Locate the motion sensor on the fan's grill and press the button 10 times. The LED on the sensor will then flash the number of times to indicate the current setting, this will repeat 3 times:

1 time = 0 minutes 4 times = 45 minutes
2 times = 15 minutes 5 times = 60 minutes
3 times = 30 minutes

2c. To adjust the setting, while the sensor is still flashing from Step 2b, press the button the number of times that corresponds with the amount of time you desire, for instance 3 times sets the minimum on time to 30 minutes (see numbers in Step 2b). The sensor will then flash the number of times for the new setting 3 times before exiting back to the programming mode.
3. Once all setting have been made and the sensor will return to detection mode and the LED will flash when occupancy of the room is detected.

SECTION 8 Setting the Humidistat

This fan may be equipped with a humidity sensor that automatically turns the fan on when humidity is above set point and off when humidity is at or below set point. If the fan is operating too long or not enough, first check to see the humidity sensor set point. In cases where the ambient humidity level of the room rises higher than the preset level, the fan will turn on even if the room is not occupied. This helps prevent conditions that lead to mold growth.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT.

1. To set the desired humidity level of the room, remove the grill and locate the dehumidistat dial located on the wire compartment cover.
2. Set the dial to the relative humidity you want the fan to maintain usually between 50% & 80% . Moist climates will require higher settings than dry climates. When the humidity level of the room is below this setting the fan will remain off. When the humidity level rises about this setting the fan will turn on and run until the humidity level falls below this setting.
3. Reinstall the grill and restore power.

SECTION 9 Activating the Boost Speed (E models ONLY)

Should it be determined that additional flow is necessary due to excessive duct resistance or other field conditions this model is equipped with a boost speed. To activate the boost speed:

1. Remove the grill and find the 2 wire harness from the fan motor to the capacitor.
2. Disconnect the harness from the capacitor at the quick connect fitting and remove the "Boost Label" from the quick connect fitting on the boost capacitor.
3. Plug the motor harness into the boost capacitor and reinstall grill.

CAUTION:MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT.

1. Cleaning the Grill: Remove grill and use a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, and dry with a soft cloth. NEVER USE ANY ABRASIVE PADS OR SCOURING POWERS. Completely dry grill before reinstalling. Refer to instructions in Section 6 Completing the Installation, to reinstall grill.
