Select Fan Location
When selecting a location to install the SWF fan that has been chosen, take into
consideration the application of the product, the locations of fresh air intakes, and
sound generated by the SWF unit.
The fan should be located a minimum of 6 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically
from any fresh air intakes for HVAC systems, heat recovery systems, etc. to pre-
vent exhaust air streams from being re-introduced into the occupied space. Doors
or windows that are frequently opened during pleasant seasons may also be consid-
ered fresh air intakes so keep this in mind when selecting the location of the SWF.

Installation Instructions for Model SWF
Mark and Introduce Required Holes
Once the location on the exterior wall where the fan is to be mounted has been
selected, mark all screw and hole locations utilizing the included template. Cut the
holes through the wall for the duct connection and for the electrical conduit. Mea-
sure the thickness of the wall and the length of the duct connection that is supplied
on the SWF fan. Cut a length of duct so that once connected to the fan, will extend
2” through the wall.
If mounting the fan on a masonry wall, drill four holes and insert wall anchors. If
mounting to wooden structure, you will utilize wood screws to secure the SWF to
the wall.
If the fan is to be mounted on a wall surface which is not flush such as lapped siding,
a mounting plate to provide for a flush fit needs to be made.
Mount the Fan
Insert electrical supply through the wall. Attach the duct extension to the SWF
making sure that the connection is secure. Apply a generous amount of exterior
silicone caulk to backplate of the fan to ensure an airtight/waterproof connection
between the fan and the wall surface. If a mounting frame is used in conjunction
with lapped siding, be certain to apply a generous amount of caulk between the
frame and the wall as well as the fan backplate and the frame. Mount the fan to the
wall.
Note: Be certain to make an airtight seal around all interior wall penetra-
tions before attaching duct work.
Electrical Connection
All SWF series fans operate from a standard 120V 60Hz A.C electrical supply. All
wiring must be carried out in accordance with National Electrical Code, and all ap-
plicable state and local buildings codes.

WARNING! Make sure that power supply is disconnected and locked to
prevent accidental activation.
1. Remove the screws securing the terminal box cover plate located on the fan
motor mounting bracket. All fan motor and capacitor connections are pre-wired
to the electrical terminal strip. A 3/8” romex type cable restraint connector will
be needed to secure the wiring through the knockout provided on the side of the
terminal box.

electrical service opening. Using a small regular screwdriver, tighten the neutral
(white) wire of the incoming 115V power supply under the open terminal strip port
opposing the motor Blue wire. Tighten the line (black) wire of the incoming supply
under the open terminal opposing the motor Black wire. Now, secure the source
ground to the open terminal strip opposing the Green/Yellow Wire.
3. Secure the romex connector. Secure the incoming supply with the romex con-
nector. Replace the fan terminal box cover.
4. Apply a generous bead of silicone caulk around the electrical provision hole in
the backplate of the fan to provide for a secure seal.
