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:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction.b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. CAUTION: FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.e) This unit must be grounded.f) To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.g) Read all instructions before installing or using exhaust fan.

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 - Duct Adapter Panel

1 - Side Panel (attached)

1 - Damper Assembly (attached)

2 - Mounting Brackets

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, and will mount through drywall up to ½" thick. The fan mounts between 24" on center joists using the provided mounting brackets.

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

1. Determine if you will require the unit to exhaust vertically/horizontally or at a right angle

and install the included duct adapter panel accordingly, using the included screws (Figure 1). NOTE: In the right angle configuration the air will enter the unit and flow out the side at a 90° angle. In the horizontal/vertical discharge configuration, the air will enter the unit and flow directly out the other side.

2. Once the duct adapter panel is installed, using the same procedure as in Step 1, install

the side panel onto the open end of the housing (this will be dependent on how you have chosen to exhaust the unit).

1. If the mounting brackets are not already in place, install both brackets through the top

set of slots on the fan housing and secure in place with the four included nuts as shown. Center the fan housing between the joists and secure the mounting brackets with screws (not included) to the joist. Adjust the height of the housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling by loosening the mounting bracket nuts and sliding the housing up or down on the bracket. Full tighten all four nuts to secure the housing in place (Figure 2). www.airkinglimited.com 6727926 Rev. C 6-18 2 of 8

Hanging Installation

1. If the mounting brackets are not already in place, install both brackets through the top

set of slots on the fan housing and secure in place with the four included nuts as shown. Lift unit up onto the threaded rods and secure in place using appropriate hardware (not included) (Figure 3).

Ducting CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES. NOTE: To ensure quiet operation, at least 8 feet of insulated flexible duct or insulated duct board needs to be installed between the exhaust or supply grille(s) and the fan.

1. Before installing the ducting, make sure the fan’s 2 pin and 3 pin quick connect motor

cords are plugged into the corresponding receptacle located on the interior wire compartment cover. These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 4).

2. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 5). Seal ducting to housing with

appropriately rated tape. Use screws (rectangular duct) or suitable clamps (round duct) to secure in place. Do not allow screws to interfere with operation of damper. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. It is recommended that low restriction termination fittings be used.

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.

1. Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 6).

Continuous Ventilation: For two speed fans wired for continuous ventilation, connect the White wire of the fan to the White (Neutral) wire from the power source. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan housing. Run 2 wires from a properly grounded wall switch (not included) to the fan. Connect the Black wire of the fan to the Black wire (Hot) from the power source. Connect the Hot Yellow wire from the fan to the input of the switch. Connect the second Yellow wire from the fan to the output side of the switch. Closing the switch will change from normal to high speed. (Figure 7). Use approved methods for all connections. 2b. Intermittent Ventilation: For two speed fans wired for intermittent ventilation with a standard duplex toggle switch (such as Leviton 5224-2W not included). Connect the White wire of the fan to the White (Neutral) wire from the power source. Connect the ground wire from the fan to the ground wire from the power source. Properly ground the switches. Connect the black wire from the supply to one side of the top switch. Connect the black wire from the fan to the other side of the top switch, Connect 1 yellow wire from the fan to each side of the bottom switch. The top switch turns the fan On & Off, the bottom switch changes speed between high and low (Figure 8). Use approved methods for all connections. NOTE: Unit must be grounded according to all local and national codes.3. Carefully tuck wire back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover securing with the screw that was removed earlier.www.airkinglimited.com6727926 Rev. C 6-18 3 of 8

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 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. Restore power and test your installation.

Access Panel1. This unit includes a hinged access panel. This allows access to the interior of the fan once installed. To access the interior, unscrew the screws holding the panel in place (Figure 9).

2. Reinstall the access panel by making sure the tabs are inserted into the slots on the

housing and pivoting the panel back towards the housing. Using the screws removed in step 1, reattach the panel.

Activating the Boost SpeedIf your unit is equipped with a boost speed, and it is determined that additional flow is necessary due to excessive duct resistance or other field conditions activate the boost speed by:1. 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.

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

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