Nutone Rfth-95 User manual

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY!

For use with NuTone RF-49, RF-59, RF-68,

RF79, RF85, GF-900 and GF-1200 Series

Roof and Gable Fans only.

Caution: Before attempting to replace fan

thermostat, be sure to switch power off at service

panel and lock service panel to prevent power from

being switched on accidentily. If service panel

cannot be locked securely, fasten a prominent

warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.

1. Disconnect electrical power to the fan at the

breaker box.

2. Locate the wiring box/thermostat enclosure in the

attic near the fan. Use flat blade screwdriver under

edge of cover to remove cover from box. For early

production units, with square wiring box, remove

screw and lift off cover.

3. Inside the wiring compartment, disconnect the

black, white and green ground wires coming from

the house supply. Remove the supply wires from

the wiring box. If the supply cable is secured to the

wiring box with a box connector, remove the nut

securing the box connector to the wiring box.

Remove the cable and box connector and save nut

for reuse.

4. Locate the wires, in the wiring box, coming from the

fan motor. Disconnect the black and white wires. In

early production models a green colored ground

wire from the motor is used. Disconnect this ground

wire from the wiring box. If a box connector is used

to secure the motor cable to the box, remove the

nut securing the connector and remove the cable,

saving the nut for reuse. For models with a plastic

snap-in strain relief bushing, compress the bushing

with a pair of channel lock pliers and remove from

the wiring box. For later production units, depress

tabs on either side of the cable connector and

remove connector and cable from the wiring box.

Replacement Thermostat

MODEL RFTH-95

5. Remove old wiring box/thermostat enclosure from

its mounting surface and mount the replacement

box and thermostat in its place. If the old box

cannot be easily removed, the new box can be

mounted next to the old box. Make sure the supply

wiring and motor wiring is long enough to reach the

new box. Remove the cover from the new wiring

box.

6. Connect the motor wiring to the new wiring

box/thermostat enclosure using the box connector,

strain relief bushing, or cable connector removed in

step 4 above.

7. Reconnect the house supply cable to the wiring

compartment.

8. Wiring connections should be made using

approved twist on wire connectors. Secure the

house supply green or bare ground wire under the

green ground screw in the wiring box. If the fan

motor is supplied with a green ground wire, connect

this ground wire along with the house supply

ground under the green ground screw in the wiring

compartment. Connect the white wire from the

motor to the white house supply wire. Connect the

black wire from the fan motor to one of the black

wires coming from the thermostat. Connect the

black house supply wires to the other black wire

coming from the thermostat.

9. Replace the cover on the wiring box/thermostat

enclosure. Restore electrical power at the breaker

box.

10. Fan operation may be checked by turning the

thermostat down to the lowest temperature setting.

(Attic temperature must be at least 60 degrees F to

test in this manner) It is recommended that the

thermostat be set for approximately 110 degrees F

for normal operation.
