Spot and Continuous Ventilation: These fans are designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy

environment at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. By utilizing the optional CustomVent Multi-Speed module
the fans are built to run continuously at a pre-set lower level (FV-05-11VKSL1 and FV-05-11VKL1: 0, 30,
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 CFM; FV-11-15VKL1: 0, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 CFM). The setting is
dependent on the size of the house and the individual wishes of the homeowner. It is crucial that the
installer pre-set the lower setting during the installation. Please refer to the chart below and the
switch indication on page 6.

These fans are also built to take care of the homeowner’s spot ventilation needs when the room is
occupied. The basic fan models allow a choice of three speeds. When fans are equipped with the optional
Multi-Speed module, these models kick up to a maximum level of 150 CFM for the FV-11-15VKL1 and 110
CFM for the FV-05-11VKSL1 and FV-05-11VKL1 either when the switch is turned on or activated by the
optional Condensation Sensor module or the optional Motion Sensor module.

A High/Low Delay Timer, located inside the fan unit, is utilized to return the fan back to the pre-set
Continuous ventilation mode. The installer needs to consult with the homeowner for the desired
setting on the timer (0 - 60 minutes) and make the adjustments during the installation.
