These Panasonic ventilating fan models are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
These Panasonic ventilating fan models use a sirocco Blower driven b y a capacitor motor.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption. It also
incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick
remove type. A damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity
sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.
These products have two speeds. “ 80” is low airflow and "110" is high a irflow.
FV-08-11VFM5 is equipped w ith a motion sensor that shifts the fan to vent automatically when
motion is detected. It stops the flow automatically after 20 minutes when motion is no longer
detected.
