DESCRIPTION

These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414. These products use a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption. lt also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type. A damper for preventing counterflow is provided. The lighting unit is an energy-saving lighting device which uses one 32W fluorescent lamp and produces almost the same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp.

This product contains electronic ballast with one fluorescent lamp and is in compliance with Part 18 of the FCC rules as consumer RF lighting device. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety communications equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between

0.45-30 MHz. lf interference should occur, try to increase spacing between this product and the other product.

INSTALLATION (IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION )

1. Installation in existing construction. Installing the fan body in an existing building requires an accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planning installation location or existing ducting and wiring.

(1) To install the fan body, follow the procedures described in lnstallation . Take the following precautions before installation.

CAUTION:

Check area above planning installation location to be sure that:

1. Duct work can be done and that area is sufficient for proper ventilation.

2. Wiring can be run to planning location.

3. No wiring or other obstructions shall interfere with installation.

(2) Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation. (3) Plan suitable location for fan body. (next to ceiling joist)

(4) Before installation, provide inspection and maintenance access at a location that will not interfere with installation work shown in installation

(5) First, remove ceiling section according to Fig.6 of page 8.

(6) Install fan body.

2. Installation from accessible area above fan location.

(1) Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation. (2) Remove ceiling section according to Fig.6 of page 8. (3) Install fan body.

MAINTENANCE (CLEANING )

WARNING:

Disconnect power source before working on unit. Routine maintenance must be done every year.

CAUTION:

1. Never use petrol, benzene, thinner or any other such chemicals for cleaning the ventilating fan.

2. Do not damp water to enter motor.

3. Do not soak resin parts in water over 140 F(60 C).

1. Remove grille. (Squeeze mounting spring and pull down carefully.) (Fig.22)

3. Replace the fluorescent lamp (Panasonic FHT32E35 32W) or the 4W night lamp, connect the connector or connector and replace the grille. (Fig.27)

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.28)

Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans and fan/light combination units do not create excessive heat that is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitors fan/light

' combinations. Our efficient, cool-running motors and our fluorescent lamp do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.

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

In attic installation, caulk box to drywall

Short piece of flexible duct helps alignment and absorbs sound. Clamps plus mastic or approved foil faced tape at all flex joints
