2.
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.
3.
Connect the White wire from the house to the White wire from the fan’s receptacle.
Connect the Black wire from the wall switch to the Black wire from the fan’s receptacle.
Connect the ground wire from the house to the Green wire from the fan’s receptacle
(Figure 6)
. Use approved methods for all connections.
Humidity Sensing Models
3a. For proper operation the humidity sensing fan will require a 3 way switch (not included). Run
wiring between the fan and the switch location. Make sure you leave enough wiring in each
box to make the connections. At the switch box connect the Black wire from the house to the
common terminal of the switch. Connect the black wire from the fan to one of the switched
terminals on the switch. This position will energize the automatic mode and the fan will
energize upon a rise in humidity. Connect the Yellow wire from the fan to the other switched
terminal on the switch. This position will activate the Manual On feature and energize the fan.
Properly connect the ground and neutral (if applicable) mount the switch and the cover.
3b. Connect the white wire from the house to the white wire from the fan. Connect the ground
wire from the house to the green wire from the fan housing
(Figure 7)
. Use approved
methods for all connections.
4.
Carefully tuck wire back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover
securing with the screw that was removed earlier.
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.
Plug the fan’s quick connect motor cord into the receptacle. This cord will only fit one way
into the receptacle
(Figure 8).
3.
Install the grill by squeezing the two ends of the springs together and installing them up
into the slots on the fan’s housing. Push the grill up into position
(Figure 9).
4.
Restore power and test your installation.
SECTION 7
Setting the Humidistat
This fan may be equipped with a humidity sensor that automatically turns the fan on when
humidity is above set point and off when humidity is at or below set point. If the fan is operating
too long or not enough, first check to see the humidity sensor set point. In cases where the
ambient humidity level of the room rises higher than the preset level, the fan will turn on even if
the room is not occupied. This helps prevent conditions that lead to mold growth.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT.
1.
To set the desired humidity level of the room, remove the grill and locate the dehumidistat
dial located on the wire compartment cover.
2.
Set the dial to the relative humidity you want the fan to maintain usually between 50 &
80%. Moist climates will require higher settings than dry climates. When the humidity
level of the room is below this setting the fan will remain off. When the humidity level
rises about this setting the fan will turn on and run until the humidity level falls below
this setting.
3.
Reinstall the grill and restore power.
SECTION 8
Use and Care
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
