For Your Safety To reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to equipment or property, always observe the following safety precautions. Explanation of symbol word panels The following symbol word panels are used to classify and describe the level of hazard, injury, and property damage caused when the denotation is disregarded and improper use is performed. WARNING Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING Canada only: Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40. Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock. When this product is no longer being operated, please remove the product to prevent the possibility of falling. Ceiling joist must be subjected to static load more than five times the weight of the product. Do not install with a method which is not approved in the instructions.
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS FAN Spot and Continuous Ventilation: These fans are designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy environment at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. By utilizing the optional CustomVent Multi-Speed module the fans are built to run continuously at a pre-set lower level (FV-05-11VKS1 and FV-05-11VK1: 0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 CFM; FV-11-15VK1: 0, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 CFM).

FEATURE CONTINUED Optimum Ventilation Performance: Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most ventilation fans. This fan utilizes SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues.
INDICATION (PLUG ‘N PLAY FUNCTION DEVICES) CONTINUED PLUG ‘N PLAY Modular Component Accessories Sold Separately, Not Included With Base Model Fan FV-MSVK1 Motion Sensor module turns the base fan on or boosts to higher speed when motion is detected when using in combination with the FV-VS15VK1. The Motion Sensor is pre-set to run for 20 minutes; it will then re-check for movement; if detected the fan will run for another 20 minutes cycle. The Motion Sensor detects within the range shown below.
INSTALLATION (PLUG ‘N PLAY FUNCTION DEVICES) You can purchase the specified Plug ‘N Play devices that are explained on page 6-7 and install them in positions , 2 and 3 . Position can only be used with Multi-Speed module (model FV-05-11VKS1 already have this control installed), position 2 and 3 can be used for any of the other optional control modules. 1. Remove the connector cover from position , 2 or 3 . 2.
INSTALLATION (NEW CONSTRUCTION) CONTINUED 7. Refer to wiring diagram on page 5. Follow all the local electrical safety codes as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC). Using UL approved wire nuts, connect house power wires to ventilating fan wires. (Fig.5) CAUTION WHITE BLACK RED GREEN Wire nuts Conduit Earth ground Switch box Junction box Netural Mount junction box cover carefully so that lead wires are not pinched. 8.
INSTALLATION (NEW CONSTRUCTION) CONTINUED 13. Adjust Pick-A-Flow switch; if used, adjust the FV-VS15VK1 Multi-Speed module. (Fig.10) Refer to indication on page 6. Ceiling Grille 14. Insert the other mounting spring into the slot as shown and mount grille to fan body. (Fig.11) CAUTION Fig.10 Mount grille carefully so that lead wire is not pinched. Ceiling Mounting spring Gloves Fig.
WARNING Mounting spring Disconnect power source before working on unit. Grille Gloves Slot Fig.15 CAUTION Routine maintenance must be done every year. Please wear gloves during the cleaning work. Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any other such chemicals for cleaning the ventilating fan. Do not immerse motor in water when cleaning. Do not soak resin parts in water over 140°F (60°C). 1. Remove grille by pulling down one mounting spring (Fig.15), then pull down the other.
PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.20) Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans and fan/light combination units do not create excessive heat that is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitor’s fan/light combination. Our efficient, cool-running motors and our LED lighting unit do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.
