Quick Start Manual
Refer to page 4 for information on locating the power unit.
MOUNTING
This section refers to Figures 51 and 52.
Your power unit mounts to the wall using a mounting system.
The wall mounting bracket, provided with your power unit,
mounts to the wall. It has 4 fingers at the top and 4 others at
the bottom. The power unit has 4 upper openings and 4
lower openings which are designed to slide onto the fingers
of the wall mounting bracket. Be sure to follow the
instructions below for proper installation.
1. Locate power unit within six feet (1.82 m) of a grounded
electrical outlet. NuTone’s models VX475 and VX550
Series require a 120V, dedicated 20-amp branch circuit
with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle. VX1000 Series require a
240 VAC, dedicated 20-amp branch circuit with a
NEMA 6-20R receptacle.
2. Refer to Figure 51 to maintain minimum wall clearance
dimensions.
3. Position and install the wall mounting bracket with the
provided screws. Refer to Figure 52 for proper mounting
dimensions.
4. Using the provided mounting screws, secure the mounting
bracket on the wall through two upper and two lower
mounting holes.
5. Prior to installing the power unit onto the wall, you must
do the wiring, see page 33 for more details.
6. Hang power unit onto wall mounting bracket. Make sure
both upper and lower mounting openings on the back of
the power unit are engaged with corresponding wall
bracket fingers. Pull down the power unit to secure.
7. Open the door on the front side of the power unit. For
VX475, VX550 & VX1000 models, make sure bag is
installed properly on bag holder and holder is locked in
upright position. For models VX475C, VX550C &
VX1000C, make sure the cyclonic filter media is properly
seated. See Homeowners Guide if necessary. Close the
door.
