NOTE: If the fan motor plug is connected to the fan housing receptacle, unplug so the blower
assembly can be completely removed.
2. For proper operation the humidity sensing fan will require a 3 way switch (not included).
Run wiring between the fan and the switch location. Make sure you leave enough wiring in
each box to make the connections. At the switch box connect the Black wire from the house
to the common terminal of the switch. Connect the black wire from the fan to one of the
switched terminals on the switch. This position will energize the automatic mode and the fan
will energize upon a rise in humidity. Connect the Red wire from the fan to the other switched
terminal on the switch. This position will activate the Manual On feature and energize the fan.
Properly connect the ground and neutral (if applicable) mount the switch and the cover.
3. From where you have chosen to access the fan's junction box, connect the white wire
from the house to the white wire from the fan. Connect the wire from the automatic
position on the wall switch to the black wire from the fan, connect the wire from the
manual On position on the switch to the red wire from the fan. Connect the ground
wire from the house to the green wire from the fan housing (Figure 9). Use approved
methods for all connections.

NOTE: The fan's receptacle wires might need to be pulled outside compartment for connection.
Only pull the three loose wires outside of compartment. Additional wires will be present.
4. Carefully tuck wire back inside wire compartment and replace wire compartment cover
securing with the screw that was removed earlier.
SECTION 6
Completing the Installation
1. Use a sealant appropriate for contact with the building materials present and for the
temperature requirements of the installation to prevent air leakage from unconditioned
spaces is recommended. If gaps between unit housing and ceiling are great, additional
material (backing rod, ceiling material) may be required.
NOTE: This fan is rated for direct insulation contact (Type IC) and it is recommended that this fan
be completely covered by insulation in order to reduce heat loss or gain to unconditioned space.
2. If the fan's blower assembly was removed during the wiring process, reinstall the
blower by reversing the directions in Section 5 (Wiring), Step 1b.

3. Connect the wire harness by plugging the 3 pin quick connect end into the receptacle
located on the side of the wire compartment cover. Confirm that the 5 pin quick connect
end is plugged into the receptacle from the blower assembly. These cords will only fit
one way into the receptacles (Figure 10).

4. Install the grill by squeezing the two ends of the springs together and installing them up
into the slots on the fan's housing. Push the grill up into position (Figure 11).

5. Restore power and test your installation.
SECTION 7
Setting the Humidistat
This fan is equipped with a humidity sensor that automatically turns the fan on when humidity
is above set point and off when humidity is at or below set point. If the fan is operating too
long or not enough, first check to see the humidity sensor set point. In cases where the
ambient humidity level of the room rises higher than the preset level, the fan will turn on even
if the room is not occupied. This helps prevent conditions that lead to mold growth.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
SERVICING THE UNIT.
1. To set the desired humidity level of the room, remove the grill and locate the
dehumidistat dial located on the wire compartment cover.
2. Set the dial to the relative humidity you want the fan to maintain usually between 50 &
80%. Moist climates will require higher settings than dry climates. When the humidity level
of the room is below this setting the fan will remain off. When the humidity level rises about
this setting the fan will turn on and run until the humidity level falls below this setting.
3. Reinstall the grill and restore power.
SECTION 8
Use and Care
