WARNING: THE DUCTING FROM THIS FAN TO THE

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 4 - Mounting Rails 1 - Light Assembly 1 - Lamp 1 - Damper Assembly (attached) 1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet2. 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 8" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan mounts between 16" or 24" on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails.3. Using a straight-blade screw driver remove the electrical knockout from the housing (Figure 1).4. No additional vibration deadening materials are needed for this fan.

New Construction1. 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 screws 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 2).

Existing Construction1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling material (Figure 3). 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 screws 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 2).

DuctingNOTE: 4" 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 4). 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 in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 5).www.airkinglimited.com210572203 Rev.

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. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 6).1b. Internal Wire Compartment: Remove the screws holding the blower assembly in place and lift assembly out of housing (Figure 7). Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place the cover in a secure place (Figure 8).NOTE: If the fan motor plug is connected to the fan housing receptacle, unplug so the blower assembly can be completely removed.STANDARD MODELS2a. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (White), one ground (green or bare copper), and two hot (Black, and Red leads connected to the switch, one for each function). 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 two White wires from the fan. Connect one Hot (Black) wire from the wall switch to the Black wire from the fan (this is the fan control). Connect second Hot (Red) wire from the wall switch to the Red wire from the fan (this is the main light control). Connect the ground wire (green or bare copper) from the house to the Green wire from the fan (Figure 9). Use approved methods for all connections.

For proper fan 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. Use approved methods for all connections.3b. To operate the main light, run wiring from single pole switch (not included). At the switch box, connect the Black wire from the house to the common terminal of the switch. Connect the Red wire from the fan to the load terminal of the switch. Use approved methods for all connections.3c. From where you have chosen to access the fan’s junction box, connect the White wire from the house to the two White wires from the fan. Connect the ground wire (green or bare copper) from the house to the Green wire from the fan (Figure 10). Use approved methods for all connections. NOTE: The fan’s receptacle wires might need to be pulled outside compartment for connection. Only pull the three loose wires outside of compartment. Additional wires will be present.4. Carefully tuck wires back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover securing with the screw that was removed earlier.

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 Step 1b in Section 5 Wiring. 3. Connect the fan wire harness by plugging the 3 pin quick connect end into the receptacle located on the side of the wire compartment cover. Confirm that the 5 pin quick connect end is plugged into the receptacle from the blower assembly. Connect the light wire harness by plugging the 3 pin rectangular quick connect end into the receptacle located at the top of the wire compartment. These cords will only fit one way into the receptacles (Figure 11).

4. Install the included

lamp into the E26 (screw base) lamp holder (Figure 12). www.airkinglimited.com 210572203 Rev. AB 1-23 3 of 85. Install the reflector onto the grill by placing the slots on the side of the reflector over the lens clips near the center of the grill. While squeezing the middle of the reflector, slide it so that the plastic notches rest under the lens clips and the reflector feels secure (Figure 13).6. Install the grill (with reflector) 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 14).7. Restore power and test your installation.

Setting the HumidistatThis 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.
