WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OB-
SERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended
by the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer at the address or
telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock the ser-
vice 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified person(s) in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combus-
tion and exhausting of gases through the
flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equip-
ment manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Re-
frigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
7. Acceptable for use over a tub or shower when
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.
8. This unit must be grounded.
CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
2. This product is designed for installation in flat
ceilings only. DO NOT MOUNT THIS PROD-
UCT IN A WALL.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy
and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall
spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Installer: Leave this manual
with the homeowner.
For quiet and efficient operation, long life,
and attractive appearance - lower or remove
grille and vacuum interior of unit with the
dusting brush attachment.
The motor is permanently lubricated and
never needs oiling. If the motor bearings
are making excessive or unusual noises,
replace the motor with the exact service
motor. The impeller should also be replaced.
SENSOR CLEANING
The humidity sensor is mounted in the grille.
The sensor will operate most reliably when
cleaned occasionally as follows:
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove the grille. Use a dry dustcloth,
clean toothbrush, or lightly vacuum to
clean sensor and grille. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL
PADS, OR SCOURING POWDERS.
3. DO NOT USE cleaning sprays, solvents,
or water on or near the sensor!
OPERATION
To register this product visit:
www.broan.com
The humidity control and fan can be
oper-ated separately. Use a 1- or 2-func-
tion wall control. Do not use a dimmer
switch to operate the humidity control or
light. See “Connect Wiring” for details.
SENSOR OPERATION
This humidity-sensing fan responds to:
(a) rapid to moderate humidity increases
and (b) humidity above a 50%-100% rela-
tive humidity set-point. (a) and (b) are set
with “SENSITIVITY” adjustment. Fan may
occasionally turn on when environ-mental
conditions change. If the fan contin-uously
responds to changing environ-mental condi-
tions, “SENSITIVITY” adjust-ment may be
required (see section below).
STATUS INDICATOR
This indicator can only be seen by looking
directly at it. Normal mode is 5-seconds on
and off. If it blinks rapidly for 5-seconds and
then off, check sensor connections on grille
and fan housing.
MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF
For odor or vapor control, the fan can be
energized by cycling its wall-mounted switch
if one is installed. Once the fan has been
turned on in this manner, it will remain on
for the set “TIMER” period.
To manually energize the fan:
1. G o to Step 2 if switch is already on;
otherwise, turn switch on for more than
1 second.
2. Switch off for less than 1 second.
3. Switch back on and fan will turn on.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
“SENSITIVITY” has been factory set for
most shower applications. If the fan is in a
tub area or is used for dampness control, the
“SENSITIVITY” may need to be increased
toward maximum (“MAX.”). If the control is
responding too often to changing environ-
mental conditions, adjustment toward less
(“MIN.”) “SENSITIVITY” may be required.
To adjust the “SENSITIVITY”:
1. Tu r n power off at electrical service
panel.
2. Through the grille, locate the
“SENSITIVITY” screwdriver slot.
3. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver,
carefully rotate “SENSITIVITY” adjust-
ment toward “MAX.” or “MIN.”
4. Turn power on and check operation by
turning on shower or other humidity
source until fan turns on.
5. Repeat above steps if necessary.
TIMER ADJUSTMENT
This humidity-sensing fan has a “TIMER”. It
is user-adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes and
is factory-set at 20 minutes. The “TIMER”
controls how long the fan remains on (a)
after rise in humidity and (b) humidity level
are both below the user-adjustable “SENSI-
TIVITY” setting or after being energized by
cycling power switch.
To adjust the “TIMER”:
1. Disconnect power at electrical service
panel.
2. Through the grille, locate the “TIMER”
screwdriver slot.
3. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver,
carefully rotate “TIMER” adjustment to
desired setting (5 to 60 minutes).
4. Check operation by cycling power switch
as instructed under “MANUAL ON WITH
TIMED OFF” or by turning on a humidity
source until fan turns on.
5. Check “TIMER” setting with watch or
clock after turning humidity source off if
it was turned on it Step 4.
6. Repeat above steps if necessary.

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 follow-
ing guidelines
for best opera-
tion:
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 900. 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.

* Purchase
separately
• 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 fan will operate most efficiently when located
where the shortest possible duct run and minimum
number of elbows will be needed.
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.

1b. Mount housing anywhere between
trusses, joists, or I-joists using hanger
bars.
Sliding hanger bars are provided to allow for accurate posi-
tioning of housing anywhere between framing. They can be
used on all types of framing (I-joist, standard joist, and truss
construction) and span up to 24”.
Attach the MOUNTING CHANNELS to the housing using
the SCREWS supplied. Make sure TABS face “up” as shown.
Use the set of channel mounting holes (marked “STD”) to
mount the housing flush with the bottom of the drywall. Use
the other set of holes (not marked) to mount the housing
flush with the top of the drywall.
HANGER
BAR (4)
SCREWS (4)
Extend HANGER BARS to the width of the framing.
Hold ventilator in place with the hanger bar tabs wrapping
around the BOTTOM EDGE OF THE FRAMING.
NAIL ventilator to framing or fasten with screws (not provided)
through HOLES near nails.
* To ensure a noise-free mount: Secure hanger bars together
with SCREWS or use a pliers to crimp mounting channels
tightly around hanger bars.
