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 AIRFLOW.

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: Exhaust Fan with Light DL4D, DL4DG, DL4DH, DL4DGH IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - OPERATING MANUALwww.airkinglimited.com6727903 Rev. G 7/22 2 of 12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

Preparing the Exhaust Fan1. 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 - LED Lamp 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 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). Figure 1 Housing Joist Mounting Rails

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). Figure 2 Joist

DuctingNOTE: 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. Ducting Duct Collar Figure 3 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).

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 quick connect motor cord into the corresponding receptacle located on the wire compartment cover. This cord will only fit one way into the receptacle (Figure 11). 3b. HUMIDITY SENSING MODELS: Plug the fan’s quick connect motor cord 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 11). 3c. MOTION SENSING MODELS: Plug the fan’s quick connect motor cord into the receptacle located on the side of the wire compartment cover. Plug the 6 pin quick connect cord from the grill into the 6 pin 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 grill by squeezing the springs together and installing it up into the slot furthest

from the wire compartment on the fans housing. Attach the 6 pin quick connect from the grill to the 6 pin connector on the top of the wire cover. The cord will only fit one way into the receptacle. Install the other spring and push the grill up into position. (Figure 12). Figure 12

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

Install the included LED lamp 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.

6. 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 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 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. Figure 11 Motion Fan Humidity 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.

Setting the Speed This unit features a variable speed function that allows it to be set from 30 to 130 CFM. To adjust the airflow:

1. Remove the grill and find the adjustment post on the top of the wire compartment.

2. Turn the post to the desired CFM setting then reinstall the grill.

NOTE: The motor will adjust to the static pressure of the installation to maintain the desired CFM. For higher speeds / higher static pressure installations, airflow testing may be required to insure the proper amount of ventilation.www.airkinglimited.com6727903 Rev.
