INTRODUCTION
The EC6 Radon & Vapor Intrusion Fan is intended for use by trained,
professional, certified/licensed radon mitigators. The purpose of these
instructions is to provide additional guidance for the most effective use of
an EC6 Radon & Vapor Intrusion Fan. These instructions should be considered
supplemental to EPA/radon industry standard practices, state and local
building codes and regulations.
In the event of a conflict, those codes, practices and regulations take
precedence over these instructions.
MOUNTING
Mount the EC6 Radon & Vapor Intrusion Fan vertically. Ensure the unit is plumb and level. When mounting directly on the system piping assure that the fan does not contact any building surface directly to avoid transitioning motor noise to the structure.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
The EC6 Radon & Vapor Intrusion Fan operate on standard 120V, 60Hz AC. All
wiring must be performed in accordance with National Fire Protection (NFPA)
National Electrical Code, Standard #70 (current edition) for all commercial
and industrial work, and state and local building codes. All wiring must be
performed by a qualified and licensed electrician. Outdoor installations
require the use of a UL Listed watertight conduit. Ensure that all exterior
electrical boxes are outdoor rated and properly sealed to prevent water
penetration into the box.
3.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect wiring with wire nuts provided, observing proper connections (See
Figure 1. Note that the fan is not intended for connection to rigid metal
conduit. Please note that small, capped white fan wire is not used!
3.2 SPEED CONTROLS
The EC6 Radon & Vapor Intrusion Fan is not rated for use with separate
electronic speed control. To increase fan speed turn the speed control knob of
the integrated speed control clockwise. To reduce fan speed turn the speed
control knob counterclockwise. A small screwdriver may also be used to turn
the speed control knob. See Figure 2.
3.3 OPERATION
The EC6 should be operated within the pressure and air flow parameters shown
on Figures 3, 4 and 5.
