Installation

Installing the Mounting Casing and Fan

STEP 1.
When selecting a fan mounting location, the following criteria should be
considered: a) type of application; b) service accessibility; and c) mount­ing to minimize noise generated by fan operation.

a) Intermittent ventilation - i.e. bathroom exhaust, kitchen area

exhaust; continuous ventilation for indoor air quality. Important
Notice: When using the fan in a continuous system, adequate
makeup air should be provided in order to prevent backdrafting of
combustion appliances.

b) Fan location should allow sufficient access for service.

c) Mounting the fan as far as possible from the exhaust point will

minimize fan operating noise from being transmitted back through
the duct work. If the fan is to be used as a booster for moving the
air between two rooms, a central point along the duct may be opti­mal. Insulated type duct work (recommended for all bathroom
exhaust applications) will also result in quieter operation.

STEP 2.
To fasten the mounting casing to the ceiling, use either threaded rod or
wires to suspend the unit from the ceiling. You may also install the unit
by fastening it to a frame using either wood or sheet-metal screws
depending on the surface to which you chose to attach the unit. The
frame should be designed to eliminate vibration.

STEP 3.
Connect duct work to inlet and outlet of fan using FC clamps or duct
tape. When using insulated duct, it is recommended that the inner vinyl
core be clamped or taped to the inlet and outlet collar and that the
vapor barrier surrounding the insulation be duct taped to the side of the
unit.

Installing the Supply/Exhaust Grill

STEP 1.
Select the grill mounting point within the area to be ventilated. To ease
installation, locations of framing beams within the walls or joists sup­porting the ceiling should be considered.

STEP 2.
Place the mounting collar in the selected location and trace a circle onto
the surface. From the interior side of the room, cut through the surface.
Please note: in order to assure a smoother finish when mounting
through a sheetrock or tile type ceiling, it is recommended that a razor
knife be used to make the cut.

STEP 3.
From within the attic or crawl space, place the ducting into the hole
until the edge of the duct is flush with the interior wall or ceiling sur­face. Attach collar to the duct work and clamp or tape into place, if nec­essary. If grills are equipped with mounting screws, install them before
installing the duct work.

STEP 4.
Insert grill.

Electrical Connections

5

Do not connect power supply until fan is completely installed.
Make sure electrical service to the fan is locked in “OFF”
position.

STEP 1.
Punch out the knockout on the same side as where the female plug­in cover is located. Note that it is possible to place the plug-in on the
other side of the unit by simply removing the screw securing the cover
and installing it on the other side where a pre-drilled hole is provided.
Remember to also move the grounding screw to the same side as the
female plug.

STEP 2.
Run the two lead wires through the knockout. Connect the electrical
power source (see wiring diagram). Use wire connectors-insulators to
join each lead wire to the power source. Fasten the ground wire from the
electrical source to the screw provided (indicated by the ground symbol

).

If the motor assembly is already installed and plugged into the
female plug-in, skip step 3 and 4.

STEP 3.
Insert the motor assembly into the square hole so that the mounting
holes align. Hint: Insert one side of the motor assembly and slide it so
that the fan is partially under the motorplate, then insert the other side.
Fasten with four (4) sheet metal screws, included.

STEP 4.
Before starting the unit, turn the fan by hand to assure a free rotation.
If it hits the orice, check the screws holding the motor bracket.
Adjustments can be made by loosening the motor bracket screws.

STEP 5.
Plug in the motor assembly to the female plug-in.

STEP 6.
Place the cover on top of the unit and fasten with the two (2) sheet metal
screws provided.
