TWO WAYS TO CONNECT DUCTWORK TO A UNIT
Ducting has a strong eect on the airow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible
for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can
reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airow.

connector by the tab (Figure 8). Using the recommended duct size, connect round ductwork
to the damper/duct connector (Figure 9), and run ductwork to an exterior roof or wall cap
using the shortest, straightest duct routing possible. Using tape (not included), ensure all duct
connections are airtight. Insulated exible duct is recommended for the quietest installation.
Retrot
Pull existing ductwork through the opening of the housing discharge. Attach ductwork to the
damper/duct connector with tape,
ensuring duct connection is airtight. Push the ductwork back
through the opening and secure the damper/duct connector by the tab (Figure 10).
STEP 4. CONNECT WIRING

STEP 5. INSTALL BLOWER ASSEMBLY
Insert the blower assembly into the housing and secure the motor plate to the housing with
three (3) screws (Figure 11).
STEP 6. INSTALL GRILLE
Insert sensor plug into the plug base on the power box before installing the grille. Pinch the
springs on the sides of grille and insert them into the slots in the housing. Firmly push the grille
against the ceiling to secure (Figure 12).
Before applying power, ensure all electrical box covers are installed.

The Power Box, located inside the fan housing, has three separate adjustments:
a. Toggle Switch positions determine the
maximum airow rate (factory set to
100 cfm). To select the desired maximum
airow (50, 80 or 100 cfm), set toggle
switch 1 & 2 according to one of three
switch positions in the table.
b. Low Airow Knob adjusts the low airow
rate from 30 cfm up to the maximum
airow rate set with the toggle switch.
The low airow is deactivated (fan stops
in 20 minutes) when set between OFF
and 30 cfm. Factory setting: OFF.
c. Humidity Sensor Knob is adjustable from
OFF to 80% relative humidity. The humidity
sensor is deactivated when set between
OFF and 30%. Factory setting: 80%.

FAN OPERATION
When the fan is OFF, by turning ON both Switch I and Switch II, the fan will start and run at the
maximum airow rate pre-set by the Toggle Switch, independent of the pre-set Low Airow and
Humidity Sensor Knobs. From this condition:
• If turning OFF Switch I, the fan will stop immediately.
• If turning OFF only Switch II, the fan will continue to run for 20 minutes, then it will
automatically switch OFF or to the low airow rate.
When the fan is OFF, by turning ON only Switch I, the fan is ready to operate and will automatically
start if any of the following conditions are met:
• If the Low Airow Knob position is anywhere above 30 cfm, the fan will run continuously
at the pre-set low airow rate.
• If the Humidity Sensor detects a relative humidity above the pre-set value or a rapid
increase in humidity, the fan will run at the maximum pre-set airow rate for 20 minutes
after reaching the pre-set humidity level. After that, the fan will switch to the pre-set low
airow rate (if above 30 cfm) or stop (if OFF or below 30 cfm).
• If the optional motion sensor is installed and detecting motion, the fan will run at the
maximum pre-set airow rate for 20 minutes after the last detection of motion. After that, the
fan will switch to the pre-set low airow rate (if above 30 cfm) or stop (if OFF or below 30 cfm).
Turning OFF Switch I will stop the fan from any operating situations above.
HUMIDITY SENSOR OPERATION
Fan boosts automatically to high speed when either humidity is above a user-adjusted set-point
(30%-80% relative humidity) or a rapid increase in humidity is detected. After a 20-minute time
delay and the humidity is reduced below the set-point, the fan defaults to the previous state.
The Humidity Sensor Knob “H” has been factory set to 80% relative humidity. However, if an
adjustment to the humidity knob is required:
a. Disconnect power at service entrance.
b. Remove the grille and locate the slot marked“H” on the control box.
c. Carefully rotate the “H” adjustment toward maximum or minimum.
d. Turn on power.
e. Check operation by running a shower or other humidity source until the fan turns on.
f. Repeat above steps if necessary.
Humidity sensor response may deviate depending on air temperature change.
If the optional motion sensor grille
is installed and motion is detected,
the fan shifts automatically to the
maximum pre-set airow rate. The
fan will continue to operate at that
speed for 20 minutes after the last
detection of motion. At the end of
the time delay, the fan will return to
its previous state.
