installation: wiring & controls

The standard control package included with this fan contains 1 wall-mounted Digital Touch Controller; 1 mounting

bracketforthecontroller;and50ft.ofredCAT5cable.

All wiring connections to the fan assembly are made at the fan-mounted electrical box. These include: a 10 ft, black,

factory-installed power cord; a 9 ft, grey, factory-installed MOLEX cord for connecting the Powered AirLock’s actua-

torstothefan;andthreeRJ45(“ethernet”)portsforconnectingthefanscontrolsandaccessories,labledasfollows:

First, locate the desired location for the Digital Touch Controller. Install the mounting bracket according to Figures

A–C below.

THIS FAN WILL NOT OPERATE IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE PROVIDED

DIGITAL TOUCH CONTROLLER! If it is not desired to be installed in a wall, the

controllercanbeconnectedtothefanandkeptintheatticwiththeCAT5cable

kept spooled. Do not install the Digital Touch Controller in an external,

south-facing wall as this may expose its circuitry to excessive heat.

Use the mounting

bracket as a template to

mark the hole location.

this cable from the electrical box to the location of the controller. NOTE: this is a low-voltage cable, DO NOT RUN

IT PARALLEL TO HIGH-VOLTAGE WIRING; building codes generally require low-voltage cable to be run through

shielded conduit.

Next, connect the MOLEX cord from the fan-mounted electical box to the MOLEX cord from the Powered AirLock’s

actuators. Finish by plugging the power cord into an outlet with uninterrupted 120-volt power.

seal all wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal seams within the space formed by the Powered AirLock and framing.

Next, mount the grille to the framing using the eight white wood screws provided. We strongly recommend pre-

drilling holes in the framing for these screws; be careful to prevent them from stripping.
