Installing The Control
WARNING:
Turn off circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that power is
off before wiring. Wiring the control live can cause serious risk of electrical
shock and/or damage the control, voiding the warranty. For safety, this
product must be installed in a grounded wall enclosure. If you are unfamiliar
with methods of installing electrical wiring, secure the services of a qualified
licensed electrician. Use only copper wire, do
not
use aluminum wire with
this device.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK WARNING:
This control is an automatic on device.
At no time should a person work on the fan/light or any appliance connected
to this control without the electrical circuit breaker or fuse switched off. This
CONTROL could turn on the attached device by the unintended presence of
condensation while the work is being performed. Always disconnect the AC
power before any work is done to any part of the circuit this CONTROL is
connected to. If you do not understand this warning, seek the services of a
qualified licensed electrician.
CAUTION:
• Never place the CONTROL where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
• Use only a 120V AC 60Hz power supply connection.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not exceed the CONTROL’s maximum electrical load ratings, as
•
indicated on the product label.
• Must be installed and used in accordance with your local electrical codes.
• If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the wall
•
box, contact a qualified licensed electrician for installation.
• For use with permanently installed 120V AC powered fans only.
• Use only #14 or #12 copper wire connections.
IMPORTANT:
Read each step carefully and perform in sequence. The
CONTROL will not work or will become damaged if wires are connected
incorrectly. To prevent damage, connect the CONTROL exactly as shown in
the installation diagrams, otherwise warranty will be voided. Prior to wiring,
straighten or clip ends of wire such that ends of each wire are straight (if
using the CONTROL to replace an existing switch). Strip wire insulation at
the end of each wire to expose 16 mm (0.63 in) of copper. Where instructed
to make a connection, twist ends of stripped wires together and twist a
proper connector clockwise until secure.
WARNING:
To avoid fire or risk of electrical shock, turn off power at circuit
breaker or disconnect fuse. Test the power is off before you begin wiring.
1.) For new installations, install a 8.9 cm (3.5 in) deep single-gang or multi-gang
electrical wall enclosure, or (replacement of existing switch) remove existing wall
plate and switch device being replaced.
2.) Attach 120V AC 60Hz 3-wire power (Hot / Neutral / Ground) inside the wall
enclosure with a minimum of 15.2 cm (6 in) leads. Attach fan three wire leads
inside the wall enclosure also with minimum 15.2 cm (6 in) leads. If an existing
power connection is used in an existing wall enclosure you must confirm proper AC
120V Hot / Neutral / Ground are available.
3.) Attach wires. Make sure the wall enclosure, fan, and the CONTROL are properly
grounded. Make sure ground wire is securely fastened. Tighten all ground screws
or wire nuts securely. Use the proper sized wire nut for #14 or #12 wire. Make sure
to strip back the copper wire 1.6 cm (5/8 in) and twist wire and nut clockwise.
