The Architectural Series Power Vent must be mounted into a constructed frame. The size of the unit
(28” x 28”) means that part of a stud will need to be removed in order to build the frame.
Before installing the fan into the frame, the front grill must be removed so an electrical connection
can be established.
Removing the grill
The front grill must be removed before installing the unit into its frame. Locate and remove the four
screws afxing the grill to the unit (Figure 4) - remove grill and set aside.
Installing the fan unit
The fan unit weighs approximately 30 lbs and so the constructed frame must be able to support its
weight.
The fan unit is secured to the constructed frame using the 12 supplied screws.
Note: The constructed frame must be built in accordance with local building codes.

Electrical Connection
Note: Ensure that the power is disconnected at its
source before proceeding.
The fan unit operates using 120VAC supplied from the
replace and a 24VAC control signal from the replace
as well. Once the fan unit is secured to its frame, the
power line and control wires can be brought in from
the rear of the unit. Be sure that the plastic grommet
is installed in the hole where the power line is coming
through (Figure 7).
NOTE: The installer must supply;
• approved 14ga. household wire from the fireplace to the Power Vent, for the
120VAC power. and,
• minimum 18ga, 2 conductor (bell/alarm) wire from the fireplace to the power
vent for the 24VAC blower control.
See the fireplace manual for connections at the fireplace.
Strip the Control wires and connect
using wire nuts, make sure that the
colour pairing matches that at
the fireplace as well. i.e. black to
grey at both ends or red to red at both
ends.
Figure 7: Feeding wires.
Strip the Power wires and using wire
nuts secure them to the power wires
from the replace. Connect White
to White and Black to black and the
ground to green(Figure 8).

Once the connections have been secured,
tighten the strain relief at the rear of the unit
so that there is no undue stress on the power
line(Figure 9). The noise supression foam
may need to be removed for access. glue it
back in place after strain relef is tightened.

Vibration Collar Installation
The fan unit ships with a exible 12” vibration collar (Figure 10) to connect the fan unit to the venting
material.
Attaching the vibration collar
Slip one end of the vibration collar onto the exposed ange (Figure 11) on the rear of the fan unit.
Afx the collar to the fan using six supplied Tek screws evenly distributed around the circumference
of the collar (Figure 12).
Attach venting material to the outside ring of the vibration collar and afx with six supplied Tek
screws evenly distributed around the circumference of the collar.

Fan Motor Replacement
The fan motor can be replaced using the following instructions.
Fan removal
Ensure that the power to the fan is disconnected at its source before proceeding. It is not necessary
to loosen the strain relief at the rear of the fan housing.
With the front grill removed, locate the four 1/4” bolts (Figure 13 and Figure 14) which secure the fan
assembly to the fan housing and remove all four bolts.
At this point, the fan assembly can be removed from the unit. There is one location post each at the
top and bottom of the fan tower near the bolt locations (Figure 13 and Figure 14). The unit may stick
a little when removing and reinstalling back into the housing. Remove the fan assembly from the
housing.

Disconnect the motor wiring
Before accessing the motor, the wiring to it needs to be disconnected. Document the wiring
connections before disconnecting. Alternatively, refer to the wiring drawing (Figure 19 on page 14).
Locate and remove the 1/4-20 set screws using a 1/8” Allen key which secures the impeller to the
motor shaft(Figure 18). Note that the motor shaft has a at side for one of the set screws to engage
with.
Figure 16: Motor electrical connections.

On the other side of the fan assembly, locate and remove four T20 Torx screws and remove the
securing plate (Figure 17).
Return to the shaft side of the fan assembly. Locate and remove the four 5/16” nuts holding the
motor to the tower (Figure 18).
Remove the motor.
Installing the motor
Install the replacement motor into the fan tower and secure with the four nuts(Figure 18). Use thread
lock on the threaded posts before installing the nuts. Be sure that the motor is positioned so that the
connector socket is facing up.
Re-install the impeller on the shaft. There should be a space of 1” from the back of impeller to the
mounting box. Re-install the rest of the assembly in the reverse order.
Figure 17: Securing plate. Figure 18: Motor shaft with at edge.jpg

241120-16
100004780-50 14
Reconnect the wiring to the motor.
Install the impeller onto the motor shaft and position it so that there is the same distance between the
end of the shaft and the wheel bushing using the measurements previously written down.
Position the fan on the motor shaft so that one of the 1/4-20 set screws can tighten against the at
edge of the motor shaft.
Reinstall the fan assembly back into the fan housing. Locate and line up the two threaded location
posts at the top and bottom of the tower near the securing bolts (Figure 13 and Figure 14). Secure
using the four 1/4” bolts removed earlier. Note that there may be some resistance when reinstalling
the fan assembly back into the housing.
Rotate the impeller to ensure that it rotates freely.
Reinstall the front grill.
Power to the fan unit can now be re-established.
