1.3 SYSTEM VENTING REQUIREMENTS ! VERY IMPORTANT: 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM ! RECOMMENDED: 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN Venting plays a very significant role in the performance of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of 1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively.

TEMPERATURE • The settings you choose in this section will change what temperature the fan will come on at each set speed. • Tap on any speed to adjust the temperature for each speed. HUMIDITY • Turn Fan Off: This is the humidity percentage that will cause the fan to turn off. For example, the factory setting is set at 90%, meaning the fan will turn off if the humidity in the attic is 90% or higher. Tap this setting if you would like to adjust the percentage.
WELCOME FAN CONTROL PAGE On the Fan Control page, you will see the current fan status, the current attic temperature, as well as the current attic humidity level.
