What’sintheBox?

A. Smart Vent

C. 2 C Cell Batteries

E. Top Battery Holder

B. 2 Mounting Screws

D. Bottom Battery Holder

F. Battery Holder Screws

AssemblyandInstallation

1. Attach Bottom Battery Holder

Insert the Bottom Battery Holder into the back of the vent. Screw in the two Battery Holder Screws. Ensure the screws are fully inserted and snug but do not over tighten as you might strip the plastic.

2. Insert Batteries

Remove faceplate if attached. Note the battery orientation and insert the two batteries.

If you plan to wire in your vents, DO NOT insert batteries. For further instructions on the wired installation, see the wired installation instructions.

3. Attach Top Battery Holder

Align the arrow on the Top Battery Holder with the arrow on the main vent body.

Push the Top Battery Holder down over the batteries and screw in both both screws. These screws are attached to the Top Battery Holder already unlike the ones from step 1. Upon insertion, you should see the lights turn on briefly.

4. Mount or Insert

Floor installation Place the vent into the duct opening on the floor.

Wall and Ceiling Insert the vent into the wall or ceiling. Using the supplied mounting screws, insert the screws into the mounting holes on the two ends of the vent. Closest to the middle of the vent is the best location in the slot but you may need to insert the screws farther from the center of the vent to align with existing holes.

In most cases, your existing holes should work great. If however the mounting holes are stripped or loose, you have options. You can add drywall anchors to the existing holes or you can use the alternative mounting holes on the sides of the vent. If you opt for using the side mounting holes, we recommend using drywall anchors (not included) and using 4 screws (not included).

Be sure that the vent is securely fixed to the wall or ceiling. If unsure, contact a handyman or contracting service. Flair is not liable or responsible for damage or injury resulting from vents falling from the wall or ceiling.

5. Attach Faceplate

Attach the faceplate with the two screws and you are all finished. Install any other vents and move over to the digital setup via the Flair App or my.flair.co.

6. Digital Installation

For initial setup of your Flair System, be sure to refer to the Puck Installation Guide. Once you are ready to associate the vent with a room, the light bar should show a unique code. If you don’t

see any lights on your vent’s light bar or if you are adding this vent to an already configured system, go to Home Settings → Flair Devices and enable Setup Mode.

24V AC Optional Power Port

Use with: 20AWG Plenum Rated Solid 2 Conductor Wire

@24VAC: less than 1mA continuous, max 50mA Intermittent

1. Follow Instructions from Assembly and Installation but DO NOT insert batteries.

2. Drill a hole in the boot or duct near the vent, wherever convenient. The hole size should be large enough for 20AWG Plenum Rated Solid (2 Conductor) wire.

3. Slide 20AWG Plenum Rated Solid (2 Conductor) wire through the hole into the boot or duct.

4. Pull enough wire through to reach the back of the vent (boot dependent) - if you pull some extra, you can trim it later. When pulling the wire through, be careful to avoid stripping the wire on the metal boot or duct as this could lead to a short.

5. With the wire in place,use high quality Duct Tape or Mastic to seal the hole in the boot or duct.

6. Strip insulation, press the terminal block buttons, and insert each conductor into the 24VAC port on the back side of Vent (either wire can go in either hole, polarity does not matter).

7. If there is excessive wire in the boot or duct, trim the wire repeat step 5. Ensure that the wire doesn’t interfere with the Vent’s louvre movement. Also ensure the two wires are fully separated and cannot short near the vent terminal block. In case of excess exposed wire at the vent terminal block, press the release buttons on the terminal block and pull the wires out. Trim exposed wire as needed and reinsert.

8. Connect the other end of wire to a 24VAC transformer/power supply (note that you will not need to wire to the ground pin/terminal if one is available).

9. Continue with regular installation.

10. Plug in or power 24VAC power supply/transformer.

11. You can now continue with the Digital Installation.

Electrical Notes:

● Flair Vents operate with very low power requirements and operate at different times hence a 40VAC (@24V) will suffice for in excess of 10 vents. Beyond 10 Vents, it is recommended that you consider additional power supplies due to the length of the wire runs becoming very long.

● Grounding is not needed.
