(D.) MOUNTING IN WALL ENCLOSURE
1. Attach wires (as shown in FIGURE #1).
5. If a bare copper or green ground connection is
not available in the wall box, contact a
licensed electrician for installation.
6. For use with permanently installed 120V AC
powered fans only.
7. Use only #14 or #12 copper wire connections.
WARNING
Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test
that power is OFF before wiring. Wiring DewStop
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.
IMPORTANT
Read each step carefully and perform in sequence.
DewStop will not work or will become damaged if
wires are connected incorrectly. To prevent
damage, connect DewStop exactly as shown in the
installation diagrams, otherwise warranty will be
voided. Prior to wiring, straighten or clip ends of
wire such that ends of each wire are straight (if
using DewStop to replace an existing switch). Strip
wire insulation at the end of each wire to expose
5/8 inch (16 mm) of copper. Where instructed to
make a connection, twist ends of stripped wires
together and twist a proper connector clockwise
until secure.
(A.) ABOUT DewStop
®
DewStop is intended for condensation problem areas of a
home, such as near the shower or bath. If condensation is
a problem or is suspected to be a problem, simply replace
your existing fan switch with DewStop. For DewStop to
sense condensation, the room will need to show visible
signs of wetness attaching to surfaces, such as steam on
walls / mirrors / fixtures. Visible steam in the air is not the
problem, the problem occurs when moisture in the air
becomes too heavy and the air cannot support the
moisture. The moisture then moves to surfaces (this is the
dew point), triggering the DewStop sensors. The
remarkable DewStop product is constantly checking the air
for condensation. At the right time, DewStop will turn ON
your fan and run the fan to clear the room. NOTE: A good
quality fan properly sized for the room is essential to the
successful removal of moisture from any room. DewStop
only detects condensation, it cannot stop it. DewStop relies
on a closed room and a quality fan to properly detect
condensation and dry a room.
(B.) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
1. Use only a 120V AC 60Hz power supply
connection.
2. For indoor use only.
3. Do not exceed DewStop’s maximum electrical load
ratings, as indicated on the product label.
4. Must be installed and used in accordance with
your local electrical codes.
2. Tuck wires into wall enclosure and fasten DewStop
to the wall enclosure with the two screws provided
(See FIGURE #2).
3. Attach the wall plate (See FIGURE #3).
(C.) INSTALLATION STEPS
1. WARNING
To avoid fire or risk of electrical shock, turn OFF
power at circuit breaker or disconnect fuse. Test the
power is OFF before you begin wiring.
2. BEFORE YOU MOUNT THE CONTROL
(new installation) Install DewStop in a 3½ inch deep
single-gang or multi-gang electrical wall enclosure.
OR (replacement of existing switch) remove
existing wall plate and switch device being
replaced.
3. ATTACH POWER WIRE AND FAN WIRE
Attach 120V AC 60Hz 3-wire power (Hot / Neutral /
Ground) inside the wall enclosure with a minimum
of 6 inch leads. Attach three fan wire leads inside
the wall enclosure also with minimum 6 inch leads.
If an existing power connection is used in an
existing wall enclosure you must confirm proper AC
120V Hot / Neutral / Ground are available.
4. CONNECT WIRING
General instructions for all configurations:
Make sure the wall enclosure, fan, and DewStop
are properly grounded (See FIGURE #1).
Make sure ground wire is securely fastened. Tighten all
ground screws or wire nuts securely. Use the proper
sized wire nut for #14 or #12 wire. Make sure to strip
back the copper wire 5/8 inch and twist wire and nut
clockwise.
