Point of Purchase
The TC 1000 can be installed in one of three ways:
• In a glazing system - The TC 1000 must be installed by a qualified installer. If it is to be installed in a double glazing
system, an internal spacer to match the thickness of the glazing must be factory installed, or one fabricated on the site.
If a spacer is site fabricated, please note that it must be installed UNDER the fan.
• On a conventional or stress skin panel roof - The TC 1000 will have no internal spacer - its flanges will be 1/4" thick.
After a 12 1/2" x 27" rough opening is cut through the roof, a sheet metal "thimble" should be installed to line the opening
The fan should be installed using standard skylight flashing techniques and an optional grille is recommended to
cover the opening in the ceiling.
• On a vertical wall - We strongly suggest installing a piece of flashing above the TC 1000 to sweep the rain away before
it hits the edge of the fan.

Wiring
Important - Wiring the TC is different than a normal ON/OFF fan. The TC damper is motorized and
requires a constant source of power; power to open and power to close. The TC1000-T comes with a wall
mounted, line voltage thermostat. This thermostat is surface mounted and should be positioned at eye
level. The TC1000-H comes with a SPST wall switch that is mounted in a standard single gang electrical
box. A 3-wire will need to be run between the control point and the TC regardless of the model.
Please follow the instructions carefully. It is recommended that the wiring of the TC be done by
a licensed electrician in accordance with local code requirements.
Be sure to turn off power before wiring the TC Ventilation Fan
Be sure to tighten the strain relief prior to replacing the baseplate.
Please note that if the TC 1000 is installed in an enclosure
with a spa or hot tub or pool, a humidistat (optional item)
as well as a thermostat must be installed.
We strongly recommend a non-chlorine based
chemical for over the water applications.

Troubleshooting

wiring. Be sure that each of the 3 wires in the TC1000
are connected individually. There is a 30 second delay
after the control is activated and the damper opens
before the fan motors start.

Care
All the motors in the TC are permanently sealed and do not
require oiling. To keep dirt, dust and debris from the fans we
recommend that you periodically remove the grille from
within the living space and dust the fan blades. Please
remember to make sure that the electrical circuit is
OFF before dusting the fan blades.
