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 to in order to minimize
possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat
loss or gain
(Figure 7).

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.
1.
Wiring Fan/Light Independently:
Run wiring from an approved wall
switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground
(green or bare copper), and two hot (black lead connected to the switch).
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.
1a. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect
the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the
fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust
receptacle. Connect the first black wire from the wall switch to the
black wire from the fan’s light receptacle. Connect the second black
wire from the switch to the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect
the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan’s
receptacle
(Figure 8).
Use approved methods for all connections.

2.
Wiring Fan/Light together:
Run wiring from an approved wall switch
carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green
or bare copper), and one hot (black lead connected to the switch).
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.
2a. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect
the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the
fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust
receptacle. Connect the black wire from the wall switch to both the
black wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the black wire from the
fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to
the green wire from the fan’s receptacle
(Figure 9).
Use approved
methods for all connections.
SECTION 6
Completing the Installation
1. 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. Reinstall the fan’s wire compartment cover. Rotate the blower wheel
by hand to ensure it spins freely. Plug the fan’s quick connect motor
cord into the receptacle. This cord will only fit one way into the
receptacle
(Figure 10).
NOTE:
If using this fan to meet ASHRAE 62.2 requirements, locate the label
inside the fan housing and fill in the appropriate information.
3. Install the grill/lens/light reflector, by first removing the lens from the
grill (there are two tabs on either side that hold the lens in place).
Then remove the acorn nut and the lock washer which are installed
on the reflector mounting bolt in the fan housing. Adjust the height
of the reflector mounting bolt so that the grill will be tight up against
the finished ceiling and less than 1/4” of the reflector mounting bolt
protrudes through the reflector. Secure the reflector bolt’s position by
tightening the factory installed nut against the motor clip
(Figure 11).
