Denotes a hazard that could result in property damage. The following symbols are used to classify and describe the type of instructions to be observed. 0 This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must be followed in order to operate the unit safely. This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed. ® This symbol is used to alert users not to disassemble the equipment. This symbol is used to alert users to make sure of grounding when using the equipment with the grounding terminal. AWARNIN G To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following : 0 Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer. 0 Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. AInstallation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire -rated construction. 0 Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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 of Heating, Refrigerating and Air -Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities. AWhen cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. ADucted exhaust fans must always be vented to the outdoors. 0 If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit. 2 English GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED AWARNING eThese models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures. ® Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock. 0 If this product is to no longer be used, it must be removed from ceiling to prevent it from falling. 0 The ceiling joist must be able to withstand a static load of at least five times the weight of the product. Do not install with a method which is not approved in the instructions. Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device. Solid state controls may cause harmonic distortion which can cause a humming noise in the motor. ® This product must be properly grounded. A CAUTION Do not install this ventilating fan in a location where the interior room temperature may exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Make sure that the electric service supply voltage is AC 120 V, 60 Hz. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Always disconnect the power source before working on or near the fan, motor or junction box. Protect the supply wiring from sharp edges, oil, grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other objects. Do not kink the supply wiring. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. Not for use in cooking area. (Fig. A) The special-purpose or dedicated parts, such as mounting fixtures, must be used if such parts are provided. (Cooking area) Do not install above or inside this area Cooking Floor equipment Fig. A English 3 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED NOTICE 9 Provide make up air for proper ventilation. Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as shown in below. Adaptor Excessive bending Successive bending Squeezed duct Bend close to duct adaptor Do not connect multiple units in parallel. If two or more units are connected to one switch in parallel, the units may not function. DESCRIPTION These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414. These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges and energy savings. The grille covering the fan body is a spring -attached, quick removal type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high -capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. UNPACKING Unpack and carefully remove the unit from carton. Refer to the Supplied Accessories list to verify that all parts are present.

Please read this manual first in order to realize the benefits of this customizable, modular fan. Optimum ventilation performance: Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most ventilation fans. These products utilize SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues. Outstanding energy savings: These products are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30 % - 70 % more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements. [For model: FV-0511 VF1 and FV-0511 VFC1 ] Pick -A -Flow Feature: This product comes with Pick -A -Flow speed options. The Pick -A -Flow switch on the face of the product allows the option to choose 50, 80 or 110 CFM. This product can run continuously or intermittently, depending upon the needs of the owner. Air volume option (CFM) Factory setting 50 80 110 80 CFM Pick -A -Flow switch [For model: FV-0511VFC1] The airflow can be set with the Pick -A -Flow Switch, and humidity triggers can be set by adjusting the humidity setting dial.

Note: 1. The power switch should be left on at all times. 2. The product will also run when the humidity rises rapidly but does not reach the humidity trigger setting, and then stop after the time delay. 3. The activation humidity settings on the dial are continuous from 30 %RH - 80 %RH. 4. The humidity detected by the sensor may differ from the value on your hygrometer. 5. The product may cycle on and off if the humidity is constantly near the trigger point. This can be addressed by raising the humidity trigger setting on the dial. 6. The fan will run for 20 minutes when power switch is first turned on, regardless of the humidity sensor or control switch settings. After 20 minutes, the fan will return to sensor mode. 6 English INSTALLATION (RETROFIT) IMPORTANT: Damper Adaptor A WA R N I N G Remove the tape placed on the damper O and adaptor before e Disconnect power supply before installing installation. the unit.
