  INSTALLATION – WIRING (LOW VOLTAGE HARDWIRED SWITCH)

Please make sure that local codes and standards are followed when performing the 
following steps. Make sure that the appropriate circuit breakers are turned off and that the 
unit is unplugged when performing these steps.

Note: If you purchased your unit with an optional DLX Controller see Controller IOM for 

installation instructions. If a Wireless Remote was purchased, it has already been 

installed on your unit. Skip to the 

START UP AND OPERATION 

section.

Step 1:

 Run a 3-wire cable 20 gauge or thicker for the 24v low-voltage wiring from the damper enclosure to 

the provided wall-mounted double switch. This 3-wire cable is NOT supplied with the unit but is widely 
available (doorbell or thermostat cable is acceptable).  

Step 2:

 Connect the control wiring with wire nuts to the three wire leads wired in the back of the wall switch – 

red, black and blue/white. Secure the face plate once the connections are made (

Figure 11

).

Step 3:

 Connect the wires to the terminal block on the circuit board (

Figure 12

). 

Step 4:

 Make sure the switch is in the OFF position. When ready, plug in the two power cords (from the 

speed control and from the damper unit) into 120-volt outlets with uninterrupted power.

The wall switch must be mounted in an approved electrical box large enough to accommodate the entering  
wires.  Use approved methods such as wire nuts to connect wire ends.
