READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING &

MAINTENANCE

Installer: Leave this manual

with the homeowner.

To clean trim ring / baffle:

Vacuum with a

soft brush attachment or remove trim ring /

baffle and clean with a soft cloth.

SENSOR CLEANING

The humidity sensor is mounted in the trim

ring/baffle. The sensor will operate most

reliably when cleaned occasionally as follows:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove the trim ring/baffle. Use a dry

dustcloth, clean toothbrush, or lightly

vacuum to clean sensor and gr ille.

D O N OT U S E A B R AS I V E C LOT H ,

STEEL WOOL PADS, OR SCOURING

POWDERS.

3. DO NOT USE cleaning sprays, solvents,

or water on or near the sensor!

To clean inside of housing:

Remove trim

ring / baffle and vacuum inside of housing

with a soft brush attachment.
Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or

disassemble motor.

See “Service Parts” section for a list and

illustrations of service parts.

OPERATION

The light, fan and humidity control can be operated

together or independently using multi-function switch

wall controls.
• Use a 3-function control to independently operate

light, fan and humidity control.

• Use a 2-function control to independently operate

light and humidity control. For fan operation see

MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF section below.

• Use a 2-function control to independently operate

light and fan. Wire humidity control direct to insure

humidity control is always on.

See “Connect Wiring” section for various wiring options.

Do not use a dimmer switch control to operate

light, fan or humidity control.
SENSOR OPERATION

This humidity-sensing

fan responds to: (a) rapid to

moderate humidity increases and (b) humidity above

a 50%-100% relative humidity set-point. (a) and (b)

are set with “SENSITIVITY” adjustment. Fan may

occasionally turn on when environmental conditions

change. If the fan continuously responds to changing

environmental conditions, “SENSITIVITY” adjustment

may be required (see section below).

STATUS INDICATOR

This indicator can only be seen by looking directly at it.

Normal mode is 5-seconds on and off. If it blinks rapidly

for 5-seconds and then off, check sensor connections

on trim ring/baffle and fan housing.

MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF

For odor or vapor control, the fan can be energized

by cycling its wall-mounted switch if one is installed.

Once the fan has been turned on in this manner, it will

remain on for the set “TIMER” period.
To manually energize the fan:

1. Go to Step 2 if switch is already on; otherwise,

turn switch on for more than 1 second.

2. Switch off for less than 1 second.
3. Switch back on and fan will turn on.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

“SENSITIVITY” has been factory set for most

shower applications. If the fan is in a tub area or is

used for dampness control, the “SENSITIVITY” may

need to be increased toward maximum (“MAX.”).

If the control is responding too often to changing

environmental conditions, adjustment toward less

(“MIN.”) “SENSITIVITY” may be required. To adjust

the “SENSITIVITY”:

1. Turn power off at electrical service panel.
2. Remove bulb.
3. Through trim ring/baffle, locate the “SENSITIVITY”

screwdriver slot.

4. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully

rotate “SENSITIVITY” adjustment clockwise

toward “MAX.” or counterclockwise toward “MIN.”

5. Re-install bulb.
6. Turn power on and check operation by turning

on shower or other humidity source until fan

turns on.

7. Repeat above steps if necessary.

TIMER ADJUSTMENT

This humidity-sensing fan has a “TIMER”. It is user-

adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes and is factory-set

at 20 minutes. The “TIMER” controls how long the

fan remains on (a) after rise in humidity and (b)

humidity level are both below the user-adjustable

“SENSITIVITY” setting or after being energized by

cycling power switch.
To adjust the “TIMER”:

1. Disconnect power at electrical service panel.
2. Remove bulb.
3. Through the trim ring/baffle, locate the

“TIMER” screwdriver slot.

4. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully

ro ta te “ T I M E R ” a d j u s t m e n t c l o ck w i s e

to increase time or counterclockwise to

decrease time.

5. Re-install bulb.
6. Turn power on and check operation by cycling

power switch as instructed under “MANUAL

ON WITH TIMED OFF” or by turning on a

humidity source until fan turns on.

7. Check “TIMER” setting with watch or clock

after turning humidity source off if it was

turned on it Step 6.

8. Repeat above steps if necessary.

!

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with

all applicable codes and standards, including

fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion

and exhausting of gases through the flue

(chimney) of fuel burning 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.

must be marked as appropriate for the application

and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.

13. Do not install in a ceiling thermally insulated to a

value greater than R40.
