Safety Information 1.) WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Planning Your Installation When installing the ventilation fan in a new construction site, install the main body of the FAN and duct work during the rough-in construction of the building. The GRILLE should be installed after the finished ceiling is in place. When installing in existing construction, use the provided cutout TEMPLATE for the ceiling. GRILLE edge should overlap finished ceiling. Not for use in cooking area - see diagram below.
Connecting the Duct ● Install a circular duct to outlet and secure it with duct tape or clamps. ● Install the duct to the outlet with a gradient 1°~2° to the outside as shown. ● ● ● ● ● ● The ducting from this FAN to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the FAN with smaller ducts than recommended.
Removing Your Old Fan 1.) Disconnect the electrical power supply and lock out the service panel for the existing fan. 2.) Remove the grille from the existing fan. Pull the grille down to expose it’s two springs. Squeeze each spring together and pull down again to release the springs from the motor plate slots. 3.) Your existing fan may be attached in several ways. Look for attachment screws in the ceiling and remove.
SheetLock Installation TM WARNING: Disconnect all AC Power Breakers or Fuses before attempting to cut into your ceiling. 1.) Place the provided sheetrock cutout TEMPLATE on ceiling where you wish the FAN to be (DAMPER and electrical positions shown on TEMPLATE). We suggest using painter’s masking tape to hold the template in place while cutting. If there is a pre-existing fan opening, use aligning windows to find it’s edges.
3.) Attach DAMPER to ducting. Use a length of ducting, 2 ft (61 cm) maximum. Connect DAMPER to ducting with duct tape. Set the connected DAMPER and ducting in the ceiling opening, then set the FAN in the ceiling opening as well. Connect DAMPER and ducting with duct tape FAN DAMPER ceiling ducting Place FAN and DAMPER inside CEILING opening 4.) Attach conduit with wiring to FAN. FAN conduit ceiling 5.) Reattach DAMPER to FAN inside the ceiling, damper should click into place securely.
7.) Bend the holding tabs you selected outward. 8.) Set FAN into place in the opening using holding tabs, now the tabs hold the fan in position in the ceiling opening. holding tab holding tab holding tab WARNING: Disconnect the AC power before any work is done to any part of the circuit ReVent is connected to. If you do not understand this warning, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician. WARNING: Copper to copper only. Do not use aluminum wire.
10.) Press and bend the final securing tabs flat against ceiling to lock the FAN in place. final securing tabs apply even pressure to each side of securing tab sheetrock (ceiling) 11.) Align TRIM RING notch to vent (DAMPER) position. Attach TRIM RING to FAN. TRIM RING attaches to FAN body and clicks into place when secure. ceiling final securing tabs FAN TRIM RING notch 12.) Connect GRILLE wire to FAN.
Installation For New Construction NOTE: Even with new construction, you can use the SheetLock™ installation method; however, ReVent can still be installed using a method home builders would be more familiar with, as outlined in this section. WARNING: Disconnect all AC Power Breakers or Fuses before attempting to cut into your ceiling. 1.) Select a set of holding tabs, depending on the thickness of your sheetrock. 1 /2 in (1.3 cm) holding tab 5 /8 in (1.6 cm) holding tab 1 final securing tab 2.
3.) Attach FAN to ceiling joists with BRACKETS using ROUNDHEAD WOOD SCREWS, then install the sheetrock for your ceiling. conduit ducting SHORT BRACKET (can be cut down) FAN joist joist SHORT BRACKET LONG BRACKET 4X6 MM SCREW Qty:1 ROUNDHEAD WOOD SCREW Qty:8 4.) Attach conduit with wiring to FAN. FAN DAMPER conduit joist 5.) Attach DAMPER to ducting. Use a length of ducting, 61 cm (2 ft) maximum.
WARNING: Disconnect the AC power before any work is done to any part of the circuit ReVent is connected to. If you do not understand this warning, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician. WARNING: Copper to copper only. Do not use aluminum wire. WARNING: Follow all local electrical and safety codes, and NEC (National Electrical Codes). CAUTION: If your house wires do not match these colors, determine what each house wire represents before connecting.
8.) Align TRIM RING notch to vent (DAMPER) position. Attach TRIM RING to FAN. TRIM RING attaches to FAN body and clicks into place when secure. ceiling final securing tabs FAN TRIM RING notch 9.) Connect GRILLE wire to FAN. Attach the GRILLE by squeezing the mounting springs together and inserting the springs into the spring guides in the FAN.
Installing The Control WARNING: Turn off circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that power is off before wiring. Wiring the control live can cause serious risk of electrical shock and/or damage the control, voiding the warranty. For safety, this product must be installed in a grounded wall enclosure. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing electrical wiring, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician. Use only copper wire, do not use aluminum wire with this device.

Using The Control BLUE LED LIGHT: Lets you know when your fan is on (especially useful for fans with low sound levels). CONDENSATION SENSOR: Senses condensation (humidity) in the room and turns your fan on and off automatically. TIMER AND SENSOR SETTINGS: Countdown timer (left) and moisture sensitivity (right) settings (hidden behind a removable cover). SENSITIVITY TIMER / MINUTERIE SENSIBILITÉ FAN ON/OFF: Turns the countdown timer on and off (can be used to temporarily override the CONDENSATION SENSOR).
Manual On/Off: Press the FAN ON/OFF button once to manually turn fan on, and again to turn fan off. Countdown Timer: When the fan is turned on manually, the countdown timer will run your fan for your selected period of time, then turn your fan off. Condensation Sensitivity: The minus sign is low condensation (humidity) sensitivity and the plus sign is high sensitivity; the dial can be set anywhere in between. In a very wet environment, lower sensitivity may be needed to avoid excessive fan run-time.
Air Drafts In Wall Enclosure Older homes may experience air flowing (drafts) from the inside wall cavity into or out of the wall enclosure depending on the draft situation. If this CONTROL is experiencing problems sensing condensation, sealing any enclosure openings is needed. The wall enclosure is easy to seal with standard painter’s caulking and a caulking gun. To begin you must disconnect all electrical power to the CONTROL before sealing the openings.
Q: Why do the windows and mirrors fog even when the FAN is running? A: If windows and mirrors are very cold, condensation can still form on those surfaces. If the bathroom is sealed tightly, replacement air may not be entering the room fast enough to displace moist air. You need a gap under the bathroom entrance door to allow air to enter the bathroom. FAN placement may also be a factor. Additionally, your vent pipe must be a short run (see PAGE 5) and vented to the outside.
Q: If I disable the CONDENSATION SENSOR, can I still operate the fan manually? A: Yes. Disabling the sensor effectively turns the CONTROL into a manual on/off switch that runs and then shuts off on the adjustable timer setting. Q: I use an air conditioner during the day in the summer, then turn it off at night. When I do this my fan comes on, what’s happening? A: Sometimes, when the air conditioning is turned off, the house will start to attract condensation (humidity).
