Roof cap (with built-in
or
damper)
Wall cap (with built-in damper)
Short piece of flexible duct helps alignment and absorbs sound
Fan housing
Seal gap around housing
Caulk termination to duct
Proper insulation around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. Locate unit above (GFCI-protected circuit required) or within 5 feet of the shower head. Locate unit away from heating or cooling sources which can affect humidity levels. Do not locate near window. Unit may respond to the outdoor humidity level. Unit must be installed in ceiling to properly sense moisture.
proper sensing. The fan will operate most efficiently when located where the shortest possible duct run and minimum number of elbows will be needed. Use a roof cap or wall cap that has a built-in damper to reduce backdrafts.

5. Fan body not securely attached
1. airfow within room
1. Make sure power supply is on.
2. Test or replace switch.
3. Check wire in switch box.
1. Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the size of your room.
2. Check damper to ensure it is opening and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer Service.
3. Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in duct closer than 18 in. to the fan discharge.
4. Use recommended size ducting to reduce fan noise.
5. Be sure the fan is securely attached to your ceiling joists.
1. Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or opened
The fan keeps running even though the house humidity level is lower than 60% RH
Model: VFB080D4H1
2.
1. Our sensor tolerance is +/-10% RH
2. Outdoor humidity is back drafting to the fan
3. Indoor temperature level
2. Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the requirements for your room size.
1. Continue to let the fan run since it is good to keep venting the house and the electric bill is minimal (approximately less than $10 per year).
2. Turn the fan off when not in use.
