TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
Housing mounted to
I
-joists.
Housing mounted anywhere
between trusses using
hanger bars.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
1. Choose the
installation
location.
The location of
your humidity
sensing
fan is very
important. Use
the following
guidelines for
best operation:
Housing mounted anywhere
between
I
-joists using
hanger bars.
Housing mounted to joists.
Housing mounted
anywhere between
joists using hanger bars.
Housing mounted anywhere
between trusses using hanger
bars.
INSTALL HOUSING & DUCT
1a. Mount
housing
to joist or
I
-joist.
Use a pliers to
bend housing
TABS
out
to 90
0
. Hold
housing in
place so that
the housing
tabs contact
the bottom
of the joist.
The housing
mounts with
four (4) screws
or nails. Screw
or nail housing
to joist through
lowest holes in
each mounting
flange, then
SPACER
(use for mounting to I-Joist)
TABS
I
-JOIST
through highest holes. NOTE: Mounting to
I
-JOIST
(shown) requires use of
SPACERS
(included)
between the highest hole of each mounting flange
and the
I
-joist.
OR
• Locate unit above (GFCI protected circuit required) or
within 5 feet of shower head.
• Locate unit away from heating or cooling sources
which can affect humidity levels.
• Do not locate near window. Unit may respond to the
outdoor humidity level.
• Unit must be installed in ceiling to properly sense
moisture.
• Locate unit only on flat ceilings up to 12 feet high for
proper sensing.
• The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building
has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy
use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct rout-
ing possible for best performance, and avoid installing
the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insula-
tion around the ducts can reduce energy loss and
inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts
may not achieve their rated airflow.
2. Plan the wiring.
• Plan to supply the unit with proper line voltage and
appropriate power cable. Power cable should be
routed to the switch box first and then to the unit
(See “CONNECT WIRING” on page 3).
• Do not operate this unit with a speed control.
Damage to the sensor unit will result.
• Light or night-light may be installed with a wall-
mounted motion control.
