CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
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 the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service discon-
necting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnect-
ing 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. Acceptable for use over a tub or shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt-
er) - protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only).
8. This unit must be grounded.
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 ceilings up to a 12/12 pitch (45 degree angle). Duct connector must point up.
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.
For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appearance - lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the dusting brush attach-
ment.
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.

Time delay knob
Humidity sensor knob
Operation Sequence
1. Turn power ON. The fan will run at low speed (40 CFM)and the humidity sensor will start sensing .
2. Turn switch ON. The fan will run at high speed(80 CFM) and will override the humidity sensor.
3. Turn switch OFF. The fan will continue to run at high speed until the time delay has elapsed (if enabled), and then will automatically change back
to low speed.
HUMIDITY SENSOR OPERATION
The fan runs continuously at a low speed and automatically boosts up to high speed when the relative humidity (RH%) in the room exceeds the RH%
limit set with the humidity sensor knob. If the fan continuously responds to changing environmental conditions (too sensitive), the RH% limit may need
to be adjusted.

The control box, located inside the fan housing, has two settings:
(1) The time delay knob sets the amount of time that the fan will continue to run at high speed
after switch is turned OFF, or the RH% limit is reached. It is adjustable from 5 to 60
minutes. Once the set time has elapsed, the fan will run at the Low speed. The time delay
setting is de-activated when set between OFF-5 mins (factory set to OFF). NOTE: for
humidity sensing applications, the fan will continue to run for 5 minutes after humidity is
below the RH% limit, even if the time delay knob is set between OFF-5 mins.
(2) The humidity sensor knob sets the RH% limit at which the fan will automatically operate at
high speed. The humidity sensor is de-activated when set between OFF-30% .

OPERATION
TYPES OF TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Housing mounted to a single joist (Start at "ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1")
2. Housing mounted in between joists (Start at step "ASSEMBLY INSTURCTIONS 2")
3. Housing mounted to I-joists (Start at "ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3")
1. HOUSING MOUNTED TO A SINGLE JOIST
2. HOUSING MOUNTED BETWEEN JOISTS
a. Hold the housing so that it is in contact with the bottom of the joist.
b. Attach the housing with four (4) screws to the joist through the holes in each
mounting flange.
a. Slide one hanger bar into the channel on the housing and adjust as needed to fit in
between the framing.
b. Hold housing in place so that the housing contacts the bottom of the joist, screw the
housing to the joist through the hole of the housing.
c. Screw the hanger bar onto the other side of the joist through the hole.
d. Screw hanger bar to the housing with screw.
e. Secure the hanger bar onto the housing with screw
3. Mount to I-joist
a. Slide one hanger bar into the channel on the housing and adjust as needed
b. Hold the housing in place so that the lower mounting flange contacts the bottom
of the joist.
c. Screw housing to the joist through the holes on the lower mounting flange.
d. Screw the hanger bar onto the joist through the hole.

1. Do not install fan above or inside a 45-degree angle projected outwards from the cooking equipment element closest to the fan. See instruction
sheet for clarification.
2. Two ways to connect ductwork to a factory-shipped unit.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The “H” limit has been factory set for most shower applications. However, if the fan is in a tub area or is being used for moisture control, the “H” may
need to be increased toward 80%. If the fan is responding too often to changing environmental conditions, the “H” setting may need to be increased
toward 80%.
To adjust the “H” limit:
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Through the grille, locate the slot marked “H”.
3. Carefully rotate the “H” adjustment toward 30% or 80%.
4. Turn on power and check operation by turning on the shower or other humidity source until the fan turns on.
5. Repeat above steps if necessary.
When the temperature changes, humidity sensor values will have some amount of deviation.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Run 120 VAC house wiring to the location of the fan. Use only UL-approved connectors (not included) to attach the house wiring to the wiring plate.
Refer to the wiring diagram, and connect the wires as shown.
CONNECT ELECTRICAL WIRING
5. INSTALL ROUND DUCTWORK
a. Connect the round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the
ductwork to a roof or wall cap (not included).
b. Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork connections so that they are air tight.
c. Insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible installation. If rigid
duct is used, a short (1-3 feet) section of insulated flexible duct will ensure quiet
operation.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of building has a strong effect on the air flow,
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 flow.
4. Install DUCT AND BLOWER ASSEMBLY
