IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - OPERATING MANUAL

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

2 - Collar Assembly (attached) 2 - Mounting Brackets (attached)

1 - Controller (attached) (QFAMD Only) 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, the radius of each elbow be as large as possible for the installation, and that insulated hard ducting be used. This fan will require at least 12” of clearance in the ceiling or wall. The fan mounts using the provided mounting brackets or can be surface mounted to a wall or ceiling. NOTE: The fan must be installed into a location that can be easily accessed once installed.

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

1. Confirm the fan is positioned so the air flow is in the correct direction.

2a. Surface Mounting: Locate at least one stud or joist. Place the fan in position so that the mounting bracket is centered on the stud or joist and make the location for the four (4) holes. Remove the fan and install properly rated wall/ceiling anchors for the holes that do not go directly into a joist or stud. Position fan in place and secure with screws (not included) (Figure 1). 2b. Mounting to a Joist: Install two - 2 x 4 headers (not included) between the joists. Position the fan housing on top of the headers and secure the mounting brackets with screws (not included) to the header (Figure 2). 2c. Hanging Bar Mounting: Lift unit up onto the threaded rods and secure in place using appropriate hardware (not included) (Figure 3). Figure 1 Screws Stud/Joist Anchor Air Flow Figure 2 Joist 2 x 4 Header Bracket 12" Figure 3 Bracket Housing Threaded Rod

Ducting NOTE: 6” 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.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE FRESH AIR INTAKE PORT COMPLIES WITH

ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES AND IS LOCATED AT LEAST 6 FEET AWAY FROM SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO: DRYER, FURNACE OR CENTRAL VACUUM EXHAUSTS, GAS APPLIANCES SUCH AS BBQ GRILLS, GARBAGE BINS OR OTHER EXHAUST PORTS. NOTE: To ensure quiet operation of in-line and remote fans, each fan shall be installed using sound attenuation techniques appropriate for the installation. This can typically be achieved by installing insulated flexible ducting between the exhaust or supply grille(s) and the fan.

1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 4). Seal ducting to housing with

appropriately rated tape. Use screws or suitable clamps to secure in place. Make sure the fresh air intake is connected to a properly installed intake port that is a suitable weather hood with insect screen to protect air intake. It is recommended that low restriction termination fittings be used.

2. 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 in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain. NOTE: At the base of the duct adapter, there is a small diameter test port hole covered with a plastic cap. Make sure the test port is not covered up with the ducting so that it can be accessed for pitot tube testing. To access the port, remove the port cover and insert tube.

1. Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 5).

Figure 4 Air Flow Intake Ducting Outlet Ducting Test Port Figure 5 Screw Wire Compartment Cover Ground Screw6727924 Rev. G 4/22 3 of 12www.airkinglimited.com2. Pull the loose black, white and green wires out from the wire compartment (additional wires will be present). Install an approved electrical connector to the wire compartment cover (not included). Run a black (hot), white (neutral), and a green or bare ground wire from the supply through the electrical connector. Connect all wires from the supply to their corresponding wires within the wire compartment (Figure 6). Use approved methods for all connections.3. Carefully tuck wires back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover securing with the screw that was removed earlier.

Setting the Speed1. Remove the screws securing the access panel cover in place and open the cover to gain access. Locate the speed control panel inside the unit (Figure 7).2. Determine the CFM required. The unit can be set from 30 CFM to 130 CFM in increments of 10 CFM (Figure 8).

Motorized DamperAn optional motorized damper can be connected to the unit. The damper is connect via a 24V transformer that plugs into the receptacle in the unit (Figure 9).NOTE: Make sure to reference the instructions included with the motorized damper before installing or operating.Operation1. When installed the outlet will be energized anytime the unit is running. This will in turn open the damper. When the unit stops running, the damper will close.

Optional Air FilterAn air filter (available separately) can be added to this unit to provide additional filtration of the intake air. The unit will accept a 10" x 10" x 2" filter. To install: NOTE: Adding an air filter will decrease the airflow of the unit. You will need to increase the CFM selected in SECTION 5 to account for the decreased air flow. Filters must be changed regularly. Refer to the filter manufacturer’s recommendations to determine how often the filter should be changed.1. Remove the screws securing the access panel cover in place and open the cover to gain access to the controls and filter area.2. Ensure the filter is facing the correct way and slide the filter into the slot in the housing. Make sure the filter is seated all the way to the bottom of the housing (Figure 10).3. Close the access panel and reinstall the screw holding the access panel in place.

Completing the Installation NOTE: When fan is mounted inline and no penetration is made into unconditioned spaces, there is no need to 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. Additional material (backing rod, ceiling material) are also not required. NOTE: This unit is equipped with a wire mesh insect screen. Confirm that the screen is installed on the inside of the unit on the inlet ducting side.1. If the screen is not in place, insert the screen into the tab at the base of the unit (make sure the wider side of the screen is running side to side inside the unit) (Figure 11).2. Slide the screen to the side with the larger top tab making sure the screen fits behind the tab (Figure 11).3. Slide the screen back over towards the smaller top tab making sure the screen fits behind the tab (Figure 12).4. Confirm that the screen is being held in place by both top tabs (Figure 12). 5. Close the access panel and reinstall the screws holding the access panel in place.6. Restore power and test your installation.
