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 grille.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH,
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.
• Usea3-functioncontroltoindependentlyoperate
light, fan and humidity control.
• Usea2-functioncontroltoindependentlyoperate
light and humidity control. For fan operation see
MANUAL ON WITH TIMED OFF section below.
• Usea2-functioncontroltoindependentlyoperate
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%-80% relative humidity set-point. (a) and (b) are
set with “HUMIDITY” adjustment. Fan may occasionally
turn on when environmental conditions change. If the
fan continuously responds to changing environmental
conditions, “HUMIDITY” 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.
HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT
“HUMIDITY” has been factory set for most shower
applications. If the fan is in a tub area or is used for
dampness control, the “HUMIDITY” adjustment may
need to be decreased toward 50%. If the control
is responding too often to changing environmental
conditions, “HUMIDITY” adjustment toward 80% may
be required. To adjust the “HUMIDITY”:
1. Turn power off at electrical service panel.
2. Remove bulb.
3. Through trim ring/baffle, locate the “HUMIDITY”
screwdriver slot.
4. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully
rotate “HUMIDITY” adjustment clockwise toward
50% or counterclockwise toward 80%.
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
“HUMIDITY
” 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
“MINUTES
” screwdriver slot.
4. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully
rotate
“MINUTES
” adjustment clockwise
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.
