Air Drafts In Wall Enclosure

Older homes may experience air flowing (drafts) from the inside wall cavity into or
out of the wall enclosure depending on the draft situation. If this CONTROL is
experiencing problems sensing condensation, sealing any enclosure openings is
needed. The wall enclosure is easy to seal with standard painter's caulking and a
caulking gun. To begin you must disconnect all electrical power to the CONTROL
before sealing the openings. Unscrew all box switches and pull them forward to
allow access to the back of the enclosure. Apply caulking into all openings in the
enclosure, even the very small ones. Seal every opening and around electrical
wires at their entering point. Also seal the perimeter around the enclosure between
the wall board and the enclosure. This will stop heat loss and allow this CONTROL
to sense the room and not the drafts in the walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Fan)
Q: How do I clean my FAN?
A: It's important to clean the SHIELD cover from time to time. Dust particles can
build up on the SHIELD. See PAGE 17 for care and cleaning instructions.
Q: What is CFM?
A: CFM is a measurement of air movement (cubic feet per minute). The higher the
CFM, the more air movement.
Q: What is a sone?
A: Sone is the rating used to describe the sound level. The lower the sone the
quieter the fan. A sone is not a decibel. Fans around 1 sone or less are considered
quiet while fans around 2 sones or more are considered loud.
Q: Can I install my bathroom ventilation FAN directly over a bathtub or shower?
A: Yes, but your FAN must be rated for over a shower/bath installation (Breeze
Easy™ models are) and must be on a GFCI protected circuit. Consult a qualified
licensed electrician about ground fault protected safety circuits.
Q: Do I have to vent my FAN to the outside?
A: Yes. All spot ventilation fans must be vented to the outside. Follow your local
code and consult it for advice. See PAGE 5 for national venting installation
suggestions and guidelines.
