Note Warning / Important note Information Technical information Practical tip

DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY until fan is completely installed.
Make sure electrical service to the fan is in the locked “OFF” position.

1. These fans have rotating parts and safety precaution should be exercised during installation, operation and maintenance.

2. WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS - OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact your manufacturer’s representative or contact us

directly.

b. CAUTION: Before installation, servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnection means to prevent

power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnection means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as tag, to the panel.

c. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-

rated construction.

d. The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating

equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

e. When cutting or drilling into wall and ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

f. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

3. WARNING! Check voltage at the fan to see if it corresponds to the motor name plate.

4. For radon mitigation use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

5. Do not use these fans with any solid state speed control device.

GUARDS MUST BE INSTALLED WHEN FAN IS WITHIN REACH OF PERSONNEL OR WITHIN SEVEN (7) FEET OF WORKING LEVEL OR WHEN DEEMED ADVISABLE
FOR SAFETY.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air ow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the
shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.
Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated
air ow.

INSTALLATION

The Rn2X is designed for use with 3" and 4" schedule 40 PVC pipe, when
appropriate LDVI™ coupling is used.

Prior to installation, the suction pipe should be terminated at the exterior
wall. The suction pipe should be installed with slight incline to drain water
from the fan.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Blue

Black

Capacitor

Brown

There are typically three wires to be connected to an electrical fan;
Load, Neutral and Ground. Load provides power to the fan, Neutral is
for returning current and closing the electrical circuit, and Ground is
for an additional path to safely return current to the ground, in case of
an accidental electrical short in the fan and/or discharging of fan metal
components.

Fantech radon fans are permanently connected appliances employing
a reinforced polymeric construction. The non-conductive construction

functions as a “Double Insulated” protective System (Complies with
Standard for Double Insulation Systems for Use in Electrical Equipment, UL

1097), thus eliminating the need for a grounding conductor. All Fantech

radon fans are tested and reviewed by Underwriter Laboratories, a 3rd
party independent safety governing body, and deemed suitable for outdoor
use (Standard for Safety-Electric Fans, UL 507).

Please contact Fantech Technical Support if additional information is
needed regarding this matter.
