1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool Specialty Series Fan! The QuietCool Specialty Series was designed for every application imaginable. QuietCool Specialty Series fans dominate the market in energy efficiency. Our Specialty Series works great in practically all climate zones and most homes, mobile homes, and even warehouse buildings! QuietCool Attic Fans: The QuietCool Attic Fans are the best in the business.
1.3 Benefits 1.4 System Venting Requirements (for AFG, GA and GX model fans) VERY IMPORTANT! - 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM RECOMMENDED! - FOR AFG FAN MODELS, 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN Vent Type 2 Model Type Average Size Venting Sq. Ft. Gable vent 12” x 19.5” 1.20 Dormer Vent 14” x 8” 0.70 Eave Vent Various Various Ridge Vent Various Various Soffit Vent Various Various QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.
2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Installing AFG model fans NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing louvers. If no louver exists, one must be installed. Louver should be installed in the upper center section of the gable. For maximum efficiency, the area of the louver should be greater than the size of the ventilator. Any louver area not covered by the ventilator should be sealed off to prevent any possible air leakage. Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy.
3. Odd Mount: The AFG can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped louver (as shown in Figure 2.1C). Figure 2.1C As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG must be sealed off to prevent air leakage. While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it is possible. However, since the fan is not completely covering the vent, maximum airflow will not be achieved.
Figure 2.2A 2.3 Figure 2.2B Figure 2.2C Figure 2.2D Installing GX model fans 1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool Garage Exterior Mount Fan. Now it’s time to find the exact location using a stud finder. Locate the wall studs and mark the location for the fan to be installed (see Figure 2.2A). One side of the cut out should be directly next to a wood member for proper fan mounting and support. 2.
9. Place fan into the cut out area. Fasten the fan in each 4 corners to the vertical wood studs (see Figure 2.3E). 10. Caulk exterior around frame (see Figure 2.3F). 11. Attach the exterior cover to mounting frame using 4 sheet metal screws (see Figure 2.3G). 12. Mount inside wall grille (see Figure 2.3H). Figure 2.3E 2.4 Figure 2.3F Figure 2.3G Figure 2.3H Installing RM model fans 1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool Roof Mount Fan. (see Figure 2.
Figure 2.4A Figure 2.4B Figure 2.4C Figure 2.4D: Roof Mount Application Diagrams EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: It is very important that you install the RM fans correctly, as shown in the following diagram, as it will dramatically affect the sound level of the fan. NEVER install the ceiling grille directly underneath the fan. Always offset at least two feet.
3. WIRING NOTE: Wiring Diagrams are for examples ONLY. Wiring should be done by an experienced electrician. 3.1. Specialty Fan Wiring - Thermostat For wiring of a Specialty Series Fan with a thermostat. This wiring method works with all of our Specialty Series fans, but we do not recommend using it with a Roof Mount fan that is being used as a whole house fan. 1. For this installation, you will need a 2 wire Romex, and a thermostat. 2. Open up the junction box that is connected to the fan.
12. In the fan’s junction box, tie the black wire from the fan to the taped white wire. 13. Tie the two remaining black wires together. Then, tie the remaining copper wires together. Figure 3.1A: Thermostat Wiring at the Junction Box Specialty Series Fan Ground the fan to the junction box using the green ground screw 50 60 70 90 75 65 55 85 Junction Box 80 Thermostat 14-2 Wire 14-2 Wire OFF Power Source Ground the Power to the Green Ground Screw on the Thermostat Figure 3.
3.2. Specialty Fan Wiring - Timer For wiring of a Specialty Series Fan with a timer. This wiring method works with all of our Specialty Series fans. We recommend using this method if installing a Roof Mount fan as a whole house fan. This also works well with a Garage fan. 1. For this installation, you will need a 2 & 3 wire Romex, and an 8 Hour Timer. 2. Begin wiring the timer.
4. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 QuietCool Attic Fans QuietCool Attic Fans work almost everywhere, almost anytime. During the summer, an attic can be 40-50 degrees hotter than the outside temperature, which in turn heats up the house much faster. With an attic fan, you can cool the attic to the same temperature as it is outside, greatly reducing the house from heating up as quickly. Set your thermostat and forget about your QuietCool Attic Fan.
