Once the fan assembly is balanced and secure, use pliers to close all of the S-hooks to ensure stability,
and tape down all unused D-rings to avoid excess rattling.
Then, use the provided duct tape to seal the joints between the ductwork and backdraft damper, and the
ductwork and fan assembly.

INSTALLATION: WIRING & CONTROLS
The standard control package included with this fan contains: the control box; 1 hardwired wall switch; 1
mounting bracket for the wired switch; 50 ft. of red CAT5 cable; and, 10 ft. of green CAT5 cable.
First, locate the control box mounted on the side of the damper. Look for a series of 5 RJ45 ports on one
side. These ports are labeled with the following label:
Next, connect the green CAT5 cable into the electrical box mounted on the fan assembly using either of its
RJ54 ports. Run the cable down to the control box and connect its free end to the green
FAN
port.
This
cable is unshielded: Do not run it parallel to the fan assembly’s power cord.
Connect the red CAT5 cable to the red
W/S
port. Then, run the cable through the attic and down a wall
to the desired location for the hardwired wall switch.
Note: This cable is low-voltage but unshielded.
Building Codes require unshielded low-voltage wiring to be run through shielded conduit.
Because a hardwired switch is necessary for providing technical support, the wall
switch included with this fan MUST be connected to the fan’s control box regard-
less of whether or not it will be installed in a wall.
FAILURE TO CONNECT THE
HARDWIRED WALL SWITCH WILL VOID THIS FAN’S WARRANTY!
If it is
not desired to be installed in a wall, the hardwired switch can be connected to the
control box and left in the attic with the CAT5 cable kept spooled.
