WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE 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 service 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 combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration 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. Use only ON/OFF switch, mechanical timer or relay-switched
control.
8. Acceptable for use over a tub or shower when connected to
a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch
circuit.
9. This unit must be grounded.
Typical Installation
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. Sensor
will not function reliably if product is not installed in flat ceiling.
DO NOT MOUNT THIS PRODUCT IN A WALL.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.
4. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and en-
ergy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straighest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid
installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce en-
ergy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.
6-inch round rigid metal duct is recommended for best performance.

WARNING Before servicing or cleaning unit,
switch power off at service panel and lock the service
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.
Operation
It is normal for this ventilation fan to take approximately 5 sec-
onds to start running after it is turned on.
Modes
(For reference, wiring diagrams are on pages 5 and 10.)
Continuous ventilation:
1. Turn master wall switch on (make sure any other wall
switches are off).
2. Fan operates at user-adjustable airflow rate.
Humidity sensing:
1. If master wall switch is not already on, turn it on.
2. Turn sensor/control wall switch on (make sure any other wall
switches are off). Some installations may not have a separate
sensor/control wall switch; where it is combined with master
wall switch.
3. Sensor monitors humidity level for (a) moderate to rapid rise
or (b) above set-point.
4. Fan operates at certified airflow rate to reduce humidity.
5. When humidity decreases, fan enters time delay mode. (See
below.)
Manual-on (optional manual-on wall switch must be installed):
1. Turn master and manual-on wall switches on (sensor/control
wall switch can be on or off).
2. Fan operates at certified airflow rate.
3. When manual-on wall switch is turned off, fan enters timed-
off mode. (See below.)
Toggle (for manual operation when optional manual-on wall
switch is not installed):
1. If master wall switch is not already on, turn it on.
2. Turn sensor/control wall switch on (make sure any other wall
switches are off). Some installations may not have a separate
sensor/control wall switch; where it is combined with master
wall switch then turn master wall switch on and off using
following instructions.
3. Wait at least one-second.
4. Turn switch off for less than one-second.
5. Turn switch back on.
6. Fan will operate at certified airflow rate and enter time delay
mode. (See next.)
Time Delay:
Fan operates at certified airflow rate until user-adjustable TIME
delay has passed, then fan reverts to user-adjustable airflow rate.
To Set User-Adjustable
Humidity Sensitivity**
Using a small, flat-blade
screwdriver, carefully rotate
HUMIDITY adjustment until
arrow points to desired
humidity level shown in
percent relative humidity (%RH).
** User-adjustable humidity sensitivity is located in corner of
Fan Housing behind Grille.
To Set the User-Adjustable Airow Rate*
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully rotate the CFM
adjustment until the arrow points to the desired airflow rate.
To Set the User-Adjustable Time Delay*
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully rotate the TIME
adjustment until arrow points to the desired minutes of time
delay.
* The user-adjustable controls are located in one corner of the
Fan Housing, behind the Grille.
To Turn Fan OFF
Turn the master switch OFF.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To Clean
For quiet and efficient operation,
long life and attractive appearance,
remove Grille and vacuum interior
of unit with a dusting brush
attachment.
Do not use cleaning sprays,
solvents or water on, or near, the
sensor.
Motor is permanently lubricated
and never needs oiling. If motor is making excessive or unusual
noises, replace Control Assembly and Motor.
To Change Bulbs
Refer to Retrofit Installation Step 14 (page 11).
1. Carefully insert a small flathead screwdriver between the Grille
and Lens, then twist to remove Lens.
2. Purchase two (2) 18W (max.) type GU24 fluorescent lamps
with Maximum Overall Length (MOL) of 3.9” (100 mm).
Purchase a 4W (max.) C7-type incandescent night light bulb.
3. Insert bulbs into their sockets. Replace Lens.
CAUTION
IN ORDER TO PREVENT MOTOR/CONTROL DAMAGE:
DO NOT remove motor plug to stop spinning motor.
Power must be disconnected (see WARNING at top left of this page)
before motor plug is removed or inserted into control assembly.

Troubleshooting
Before continuing, turn off power as previously noted in WARNING
and CAUTION sections on the previous page.
Symptom: Fan does not run.
• Check for an open fuse or circuit breaker in building’s service
panel.
• Check two (2) plug-in connections for Motor and its Control are
seated firmly in place.
• Check two (2) plug-in connections for Sensor and its Control
are seated firmly in place.
• Check that Blower Wheel spins freely.
Symptom: Humidity mode does not operate fan at certied air
ow rate.
• Check two (2) plug-in connections for Sensor and its Control
are seated firmly in place.
Symptom: Fan runs erratically.
• Check that Blower Wheel is firmly attached to Motor shaft and
both spin freely.
Symptom: Fan seems noisy.
• Check that back draft damper in fan’s Duct Connector pivots
freely. Screws used to attach duct to Duct Connector may
prevent damper from opening.
• Check that back draft damper in wall or roof cap pivots freely.
Dampers are sometimes mistakenly painted shut or obstructed
by bird or insect debris.
Symptom: Fan does not properly ventilate room.
• For spot ventilation, turn both master switch and sensor/control
wall switch ON, so sensor/control operates fan at certified
airflow rate.
• For spot ventilation followed by continuous ventilation, increase
the “TIME” setting of user-adjustable time delay.
• For continuous ventilation, increase “CFM” setting of user-
adjustable airflow rate.
