Installation Instructions
1. Before servicing or cleaning this unit, switch
power o at the service panel and lock out
to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning tag to the service panel.
2. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
performed by a qualied person in accordance
with the applicable codes and standards, including
re-related construction.
3. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
4. The combustion airow needed for safe operation
of fuel-burning equipment may be aected by this
unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards
such as those published by the National Fire
and Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and
Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
CAUTION
1. This unit has an unguarded
impeller. Do not use in locations
readily accessible to people or
animals.
2. Mount with the lowest moving
parts at least 8-feet above oor
level.
3. For general ventilating use only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and
vapors.
4. Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
colorless gas that can kill. It
may be drawn into the house
by operating this fan if your
fuel-burning equipment is not
properly maintained, or if you
lack the adequate attic intake
vents.

DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Used to indicate an electrical shock or electrocution hazard.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
For the following models:
CX1500 RED, CX1600 BLU, CX2500 GRN
READ ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING TO INSTALL THIS UNIT.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GABLE-MOUNTED UNIT IS DESIGNED FOR ATTICS OF AVERAGE SIZE AND OPERATES MOST EFFICIENTLY WHEN AIR
INTAKES ARE LOCATED AROUND THE EAVES. ALTERNATIVELY, AIR INTAKE MAY BE FROM OPPOSING GABLE VENTS, BUT
NEVER FROM ROOF OR RIDGE VENTS. AT LEAST 600 SQ. IN OF NET FREE AIR INTAKE IS REQUIRED PER UNIT FOR SAFE
AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. THE MOTOR OPERATES ON 120 V, 60 HZ, A.C. CURRENT. SEE MOTOR LABEL FOR
AMPERAGE.
THIS UNIT MAY BE MOUNTED BEHIND ANY STATIC WALL VENT, OR MODELS VX1818 OR CX2121 AUTOMATIC SHUTTERS.
Step 1 Step 3
For new installation or installation behind
existing louvers, using 2 x 4 studs, frame an
opening at least 18 ¼-in square (depending on
stud spacing) on center, on the attic side of the
gable.
Step 2
Cover the opening with a square piece of
plywood, paneling, or sheetrock, at least
21 ¼-in square (depending on stud spacing).
Cut a 15-in diameter hole in the center of this
panel, to allow the shroud of the fan to enter the
hole.
It is important to block off any remaining open
vent area in the gable.
With the nuts and bolts furnished, secure the 4
mounting brackets to the shroud and then
fasten the unit to the frame.
Mounting the long side of the
L brackets to the shroud may
better fit your installation and
also help reduce
vibration.
The use of a
sound-dampening
barrier, such as
rubber washers or foam stripping will help
reduce resonance
in the walls. Seal
off any gaps
around
the fan,
in order for
the fan to
function at
maximum
efficiency.
TIP:MUCH OF THE PREPARATION, WIRING OF
THERMOSTAT, TESTING, AND MOUNTING TO THE
FRAME CAN BE COMPLETED BEFORE FINAL
INSTALLATION IN THE ATTIC.
