WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.
Please leave these installation instructions with the range hood installation instructions.
Please leave these installation instructions for local electrical inspector’s use and for future reference.
WARNINGS: Must be followed carefully to avoid personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Must be followed carefully to avoid damage.
TIPS: Contain helpful information to facilitate installation.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
CAUTION: For General Ventilation Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive Material and Vapors.
CAUTION: This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations readily accessible to people or animals.
WEAR HAND PROTECTION AND STAY CLEAR OF SHARP EDGES! The compactness and adaptability of the
model PSD blower permits easy installation. The units are shipped fully assembled and can be mounted at any
angle. For mounting suggestions see pages 3 & 4. Because this unit has rotating parts, safety precautions should
be exercised during all phases of installation, operation and maintenance. Remove unit from package and inspect
before installation. If damaged, report damage to carrier. DO NOT operate this unit with visible damage to the blower
or impeller assembly. Screen guards must be installed when blower will be within reach of personnel, within (7) feet
of the working area, or when advisable for safety.
WARNING! DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY until blower is completely installed.
Make sure electrical service to the blower is locked “OFF” position.
Check voltage at blower to see if it corresponds to the motor name plate. Installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment, (e.g., gas water heater, gas furnace) to prevent back drafting.
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.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Ducted
blowers must always be vented to the outdoors.
If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.
NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.All units are suitable for use with solid-state speed control.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

equipment to prevent back drafting. 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,

For best and quietest performance, the Remote Blower should be installed in the attic, near or slightly
beyond the mid-point of the duct system. In installations requiring the blower be in a chase or hood over the
range (e.g., no attic above the kitchen), the duct silencer will not be as effective in absorbing motor noise. In addition, there will likely be motor sound transmitted through the walls of the chase, bypassing the duct silencer.
Given the high performance of CopperSmith Remote Blowers, it is highly recommended that the blower
NOT be attached directly to the liner or in a chase immediately above the liner unless a CopperSmith
brand duct silencer is installed between the blower and liner and neoprene lined FC Clamps* are used.
CopperSmith brand Professional Series ventilation systems can be installed in an infinite variety of configurations.
The Remote Blower and Duct Silencer can be installed at any angle.
Connecting the Blower / Ventilator
er properly aligning and supporting the blower, connect it to the duct. Fasten in place by using sheet metal
Aft
screws and tape or preferably FC Clamps*. Fast Clamps (FC Clamps) are the recommended connectors for
connecting the blower to the duct system. FC Clamps are easy to connect and work extremely well as a vibration
absorber and noise suppressor. They are made of steel and are lined with 0.3” neoprene pad. If FC Clamps are
used to connect the blower to the duct, it is not as necessary to use them on the Duct Silencer for vibration
suppression. FC Clamps are available from CopperSmith.
CAUTION: DO NOT hang PSD model blowers / ventilators from the FC Clamp’s hanging tabs. Instead, use
the integral brackets bolted to the blower housing.
Hanger type vibration isolators and suspension hardware (e.g., threaded rod, slotted angle iron, hurricane strap)
are not supplied with blower. If the blower is suspended with these items, they will absorb much of the motor’s
minor vibration.

*FC Clamps are available from CopperSmith.
Ask for model number FC6 (6”), FC8 (8”) or FC10 (10”), 2 per box.
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
1. Build and install wood supports to framing structure for blower
mounting.
2. Attach blower directly to wood supports.
The Remote Blower’s mounting brackets are designed for flexible
and easy installation at any angle-horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
The brackets should be bolted directly to a 2” x 4” type wood
framing structure (e.g., an attic truss) or suspended by threaded
rod, slotted angle-iron or hurricane strap. The installation should
be sufficient to support the blower’s weight.
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
1.Equipment should be hung in position with temporary fixtures
that can be removed after vibration hangers* are installed.
2.Optional vibration hanger may be fastened directly to the
