Installation Instructions
Safety Considerations & Warnings
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by Centric Air. If you have any installation
questions, please contact Technical support at 1-877-267-3205.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do NOT use in areas readily accessible to people or
animals.
3. Do NOT use to exhaust hazardous material, dust, or combustible vapors.
4. During installation, always wear appropriate safety glasses, gloves, hard hats,
restraints, and other safety equipment to avoid injury. Warning: Always wear durable
work gloves while handling the unit.
5. Observe all applicable building, mechanical and electrical codes.
6. Installation work and electrical wiring should be done by a qualified person in
accordance with all building codes and the National Electrical Code (U.S. only),
including codes for fire ratings. Contact a qualified electrician if you are not comfortable
or familiar with electrical codes and/or installations.
7. The ventilator should be connected to a 120-volt, 60 Hz grounded circuit only with
minimum 14-gauge wiring that has at least 3 amperes of available capacity. If you cannot
confirm there is sufficient electrical capacity on an existing circuit, install a separate
dedicated circuit. Do NOT use an extension cord to operate.
8. Inspect for hidden utilities before cutting or drilling. Do NOT damage electrical wiring
or other hidden utilities when cutting or drilling.
9. FOR HOMES WITH A GAS OR OIL FURNACE OR APPLIANCE LOCATED IN
THE SAME SPACE: The ventilator MUST be wired with a switch or other interlocking
device to prevent the furnace and ventilator from operating at the same time during the
heating cycle. The switch or other interlocking device MUST disconnect the vent unit
from the electrical circuit power. Centric Air recommends that the switch (not included)
be installed by a qualified person in accordance with all applicable building codes and
standards.
