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.
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 gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning 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, 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.

DESCRIPTION
These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414. These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.
(FV-0511VQC1 only) This Panasonic ventilating fan model is equipped with a motion sensor and a humidity sensor that turn on automatically when motion is detected, when humidity increases rapidly, or when humidity rises above a 30% ~ 80% relative humidity set-point. It is user-adjustable to operate 0.5 ~ 60 minutes after the sensors are no longer detected.
UNPACKING
Unpack and carefully remove the unit from carton. Refer to the Supplied Accessories list to verify that all parts are present.

OPERATION (FV-0511VQC1 only)
Panasonic ventilating fan responds to: (1) Motion sensor detectible condition. (2) Humidity sensor detectible condition.
10 feet
(3m)
sensor
90°
The distance that motion can be detected is limited to 10 feet (3m). The field of view of the sensor is 90°. Room temperature is 25°C (77°F).
Motion sensor detectible condition
The delay time is determined by timer preset switch. The unit continues running for an adjustable duration of 0.5 to 60 minutes, after motion is no longer detected.

Remains running until the delay time has passed
1. The product will run when environment humidity rise rapidly but not reach to the humidity setting, and stop after delay preset time.
2. Humidity setting selector is stepless change between 30 %RH~80 %RH.
3. The humidity detected by sensor may differ from the value on your hygrometer.
4. The product may turn on and off cause by the unstable environment humidity, you can improve it by adjusting the Humidity setting selector.
FEATURE
Optimum Ventilation Performance: Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most
ventilation fans. This fan utilizes Smart Flow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues.
Outstanding Energy Savings: The WhisperCeiling ventilating fans are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30% - 70%
more energy efficient than the AC motor.
Pick-A-Flow Feature
All the WhisperCeiling ventilating fans come with Pick-A-Flow speed options. The Pick-A-Flow switch on the face of all WhisperCeiling ventilating fans allow the option to choose 50 – 80 – 110 CFM for the FV-0511VQ1 or 110 – 130 – 150 CFM for the FV-1115VQ1. These fans can run with constant air volume depending upon the needs of the owner.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.18) Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans does not create excessive heat that is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitor’s fan/light combination. Our efficient, cool-running motors do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations. The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, 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 flow.
4 inches or 6 inches roof jack, wall cap, or soffit vent with backdraft damper
Mechanically connect duct to termination and seal with mastic or approved foil faced tape
2-3 ft straight run before elbow ln attic installation,
