activate the high speed of the exhaust fan. These controls 
are to be UL listed with minimum electrical ratings of 2 amps 
inductive load at 125 VAC.

The prewired 7 day timer located on the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent 
activates the low speed of the exhaust fan. The timer can be 
mounted remote from the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent. This requires 
a double gang electrical box and 3 conductors plus ground 
to extend connections to the timer from the Ultra-Aire Quiet 
Vent.

A 4" junction box cover is used to cover the timer opening on 
the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent.

 

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, 

electric shock, or injury to persons, 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 unit, switch 

power off at service panel and lock 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.

 

CAUTION: For general ventilating use 

only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or 

explosive materials and vapors.

3. Operation
3.1 Using the Timers

1. Setting The 7-Day Timer

Rotate the timer dial until the white pointer indicates the 
correct time of day. Each segment moved toward the 
dial center represents 2 hours of low speed exhaust fan 
operation. Typically, the timer is set to operate during the 
time of occupancy. If additional ventilation is required to 
control moisture and odors, additional spades can be moved 
in. If the home becomes too dry, decrease the hours of low 
speed operation.

3.2. Using Remote Timers

Estimate the ventilation time required and set it on the timer. 

Activate the timer whenever moisture or odors are generated 
in the room. If timers are not available locally, they may be 
ordered with the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent.

3.2 Adjusting the Amount of Ventilation

The amount of air removed from the home depends on the 
restrictions in the duct system and the amount of time the 
system operates. If more or less ventilation is required the 
7-day timer can be set for more or less low speed operation. 
The air flow can be reduced by installing a duct damper in 
the exhaust duct of the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent.

By partially closing the damper, the CFM of stale air removed 
from the house can be reduced. Figure 4 indicates air flow 
and power consumption versus static duct pressure.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Blower Screen

WARNING: Disconnect the appliance from the power 

supply before cleaning the blower screen.

A coarse screen covers the blower inlet port located inside 
the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent cabinet. Vacuuming the screen is 
recommended every six months. Remove the 4" x 4" cover 
on the side of the Ultra-Aire Quiet Vent cabinet for access 
(See Fig. 1).

5 Service

 

CAUTION: Requires a qualified service
