START UP AND OPERATION
•
Make sure that all wiring and connections have been made per this manual and acceptable wiring
standards and that all local codes and standards have been followed in the installation of this unit.
•
Make sure that no tools or construction debris have been left in the 2.5/2.5e WHF.
•
Plug the damper unit power cord into a 120-volt grounded outlet. Alternatively, if you would like to
hardwire the unit, remove the power cord and provide 120-volt power to the unit through the circuit
breaker located on the unit mounted junction box. A dedicated circuit is not required, however the
power requirements of 120 volts, 2.5 amps must be taken into account when allocating power
from existing circuits.
•
The 2.5e WHF has a second power cord running from the fan that must also be plugged into a
120-volt grounded outlet. We do not recommend hardwiring the 2.5e fan power.
•
Verify that the 2.5/2.5e WHF power switch is OFF and turn on electrical power at circuit breaker.
•
Turn the unit ON in LOW speed. The damper doors will take a few seconds to open and
there will be a delay before the fan turns on. Once the fan starts running, switch the unit to HIGH.
•
When the power is turned OFF, the fan will shut down and the damper door begin to close.
The door will shut tightly within 60 seconds.
•
Allow for a slight delay when changing between speeds for the fan to adjust torque.
