POURLE MODELE FV-11VHL2
DESCRIPTION
The Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fans uses a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor is
designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption. It also incorporates a
thermal cut-off for safety. The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type. A
damper for preventing counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to
reduce the noise level.
The heater for this unit is a 1400 W sheathed heater. A thermostat and thermal cut-off switch have been
added for safety in case of an abnormal temperature rise in the heater.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 18 W fluorescent lamps and produces
almost the same illumination as a standard 100 W incandescent lamp (FV-11VHL2).

the manufacturer.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
B.
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. Neither unauthorized modification, repair nor
disassembly is allowed.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
C.
buming equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
D.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
E.
Solid state controls may cause harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise. To reduce the
F.
risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this unit with any solid-state control device.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock panel cabinet to prevent
G.
power from being switched on accidentally. If the panel cabinet cannot be locked, securely fasten a
clearly visible warning label to the service panel.
H.
Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40. (This is required for
I.
installation in Canada only.)
Use only on 20 ampere branch circuit.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to
Fig.23
Dryer-hood type vent with
backdraft flap (s).
Caulk termination to duct.
2-3 ft straight run before elbow.
In attic installation,
caulk box to drywall.
Short piece of flexible duct
helps alignment and absorbs
sound. Use clamps plus tape
at all flex joints.
Foil tape tightly covers all metal
duct joints (glue PVC joints).
