CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES,
OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR
WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE
THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the
appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green
or bare copper), and three hot (black, red, yellow leads
connected to the switch, one for each function). Secure the
electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical
connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to
make the connection to the fan’s receptacle.
2. From where you have access to the fan’s junction box, connect
the white wire from the house to the two white wires from
the fan. Connect one hot (black) wire from the wall switch
to the black wire from the fan (this is the fan control). Connect
second hot (red) wire from the wall switch to the red wire
from the fan (this is the main light control). Connect the third
hot (yellow) wire from the wall switch to the yellow wire from
the fan (this is the night light control). Connect the ground
wire from the house to the green wire from the fan (Figure
9). Use approved methods for all connections.
SECTION 6
Completing the Installation
1. Reinstall the fan’s venturi by holding it at approximately a 45
degree angle, hook the two tabs on the venturi into the slots
on the housing and secure in place by tightening the venturi
screw. Rotate the blower wheel by hand to ensure it spins
freely. Now plug the fan motor into the receptacle (Figure 10).
2. Plug cord from lamp holders into the appropriate receptacle
(Figure 11).
1b. Mounting Tab Installation: Position housing against the joist
and trace an outline of the housing onto the ceiling material
(Figure 7). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful
not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities.
Place housing next to the joist and insure that it is flush with
the finished ceiling. Secure with four screws or nails (not
provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 5).
SECTION 4
Ducting
CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.
1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 8). Secure
in place using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to
the outside through a wall or roof cap.
NOTE: If damper detaches from unit, reattach by snapping the
collar back onto the unit. It is designed to only fit one way.
