WARNING: THE DUCTING FROM THIS FAN TO THE

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 - 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, 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.

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

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 17).

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).

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 17).

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).

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.

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.

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 to in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 4).

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.

Completing the Installation1. 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.2. 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 12).3b. MOTION 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. These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 13).3c. HUMIDITY SENSING MODELS: Plug the fans 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 only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 15).

4. VARIABLE SPEED: First decide if you will require more or less than 65 CFM of ventilation

on the low speed setting. If it is less than 65 CFM place the Low CFM Range rocker switch on the 30-60 range. If it is more, place the low CFM range rocker switch on the 70-120 range. Once you have decided on the minimum required airflow, the fans low speed CFM level can be adjusted by using either the lower adjustment knob (30-60 CFM) or the middle adjustment knob (70-120 CFM). The desired high speed CFM can be adjusted by using the upper most adjustment knob (Figure 16).5. Install the ceiling mounting flange to cover any gaps which exist between the housing and the finished ceiling. Remove the two screws that connect the ceiling mounting flange to the housing. 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 housing and press flange in place so it is tight against the ceiling. Reinstall ceiling flange mounting screws inside the housing (Figure 17). NOTE: If the housing is mounted to 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. 6a.

7. Open the light lens on the grill by pushing into the lens and allowing in to spring open.

Install the 8.5 watt LED (included) into the lamp holder by lining up the pins on the lamp base to the socket of the lamp holder and turning the lamp body clockwise until the lamp snaps into place and is firmly seated in the lamp holder.

8. Restore power and test your installation.

Programming the Occupancy Sensor 1a. Setting the Occupancy Time Delay. This will set the amount of time the fan will continue to operate on high speed 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 6 times = 12.5 minutes 2 times = 2.5 minutes 7 times = 15 minutes 3 times = 5 minutes 8 times = 17.5 minutes 4 times = 7.5 minutes 9 times = 20 minutes 5 times = 10 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 on high speed 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.

Setting the Humidistat This fan may be equipped with a humidity sensor that automatically turns the fan on (or to high speed on dual speed models) when humidity is above set point and off (or back to low speed on dual speed models) 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 (or low speed on dual speed models). When the humidity level rises above this setting the fan will turn on (or to high speed on dual speed models) and run until the humidity level falls below this setting.

3. Reinstall the grill and restore power.

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 POWDERS. Completely dry grill before reinstalling. Refer to instructions in Section 6 Finishing the Installation, to reinstall grill.

2. Cleaning the Fan Assembly: Wipe all parts with a dry cloth or gently vacuum the fan.

NEVER IMMERSE ELECTRICAL PARTS IN WATER. CAUTION: ALLOW BULBS TO COOL BEFORE REPLACING.

3. Changing the Lamp: Disconnect power to the unit. Open the light lens on the grill by

pushing into the lens and allowing in to spring open. LED Bulb: Remove lamp by gently twisting the lamp base counterclockwise while applying outward pressure. Installation is the reverse of removal. Replace with a compatible GU24
