KEY FEATURES

PRODUCT CONTENTS

INSTALLATION

• STEP 1 Determine your desired mounting location free of obstruction (studs, waterlines, electrical cords, etc.). Make sure this mounting location is 3.5 to 6 inches thick.
  Mark the center point, mounting points, and cylinder outline using the rear faceplate stencil.

• STEP 2 From the center point, measure the length to the end of your wall (X) and the height to the floor (Y).
  Keep these measurements for step 7.

• STEP 3 Drill the mounting holes into your wall.
  Cut the circular outline to create the opening. Use of a saw is recommended.

• STEP 4 Secure the included anchors into the mounting holes.

• STEP 5 Insert the rear faceplate into the circular cutout, making sure the mounting holes line up.

• STEP 6 Drill the wood screws into the anchors to secure the rear faceplate.

• STEP 7 Mark the center point of the front faceplate stencil on the other side of your wall using the length (X) and height (Y) measurements from step 2.

• STEP 8 Place the stencil over the center point and mark the mounting points and cylinder outline.

• STEP 9 Drill the mounting holes into your wall.
  Cut the circular outline to create the opening. Use of a saw is recommended.

• STEP 10 Secure the included anchors into the mounting holes.

• STEP 11 Insert the front faceplate into the circular cutout, making sure the mounting holes line up.
  Its cylinder should easily slide into the rear faceplate’s cylinder.

• STEP 12 Route the power cord through the opening on the lower right corner so the front faceplate is flush against the wall.
  You may instead hardwire your fan for a cordless appearance. See page 16 for hardwiring instructions.

• STEP 13 Drill the wood screws into the anchors to secure the front faceplate.

• STEP 14 Plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet to power the fan.

HARDWIRING

Power from all sources involved in this step must be completely shut before proceeding.

• STEP 1 If your fan is plugged in, make sure to unplug it from its power socket.
  Locate your home’s main electrical panel and flip the your room’s circuit breaker to OFF.

• STEP 2 Use a non-contact voltage tester (not included) to confirm that electricity is fully depleted from your wires.
  Proceed only if the tester shows no current.

If you are unfamiliar or have doubts about performing this step, seek the services of a qualified, trained, and licensed professional. See page 6 for additional product warnings and safety guidelines.

• STEP 1 Unscrew the leftmost panel to access the power cord wires.

SWITCHING AIRFLOW DIRECTION
The through-wall fan is capable of producing either intake or exhaust airflow. Holding the setting and up/down buttons together will switch the airflow direction between INTAKE and EXHAUST, respectively.

• INTAKE
  Holding the setting and up buttons together for 3 seconds will switch the airflow direction to the intake configuration. A 10-second countdown will appear as the fan deactivates and reactivates to switch the directional airflow.

• EXHAUST
  Holding the setting and down buttons together for 3 seconds will switch the airflow direction to the exhaust configuration. A 10-second countdown will appear as the fan deactivates and reactivates to switch the directional airflow.

CONTROLLER MODES

Pressing the mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes: OFF, ON, AUTO (High Temperature and Low Temperature), TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, and CYCLE (On and Off).

• OFF MODE (MINIMUM LEVEL) Your fan will not run while in this mode. The fan speed set while in this mode establishes the minimum speed in other modes. When the fan is triggered to turn OFF in all other modes, it will instead run at the speed set here.

• ON MODE (MAXIMUM LEVEL) Your fan will actively run at the speed set here, regardless of the probe’s reading. The fan speed set while in this mode also establishes the maximum speed in other modes.
  Do not set this level to zero, as this will result in the fan not activating when triggered ON.

• AUTO MODE (HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIGGER) Pressing the up or down button sets the high temperature trigger. The fans will activate if the probe’s reading meets or exceeds this threshold. Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading falls below this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode. You may set this trigger below the low temperature trigger to create a specific range in which the fan is active.
  Note that this trigger can activate as long as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
  If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than zero, the fans will run at that speed when triggered to turn off.

• AUTO MODE (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGER) Pressing the up or down button sets the low temperature trigger. The fans will activate if the probe’s reading meets or falls below this threshold. Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading rises above this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode. You may set this trigger above the high temperature trigger to create a specific range in which the fan is active.
  Note that this trigger can activate as long as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
  If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than zero, the fans will run at that speed when triggered to turn off.

• TIMER TO ON MODE Pressing the up or down button sets a countdown time. Once the timer ends, the fans will trigger to run at the speed set in ON Mode. If there is a speed set in OFF Mode, the fans will run at that speed during the countdown.
  The countdown will begin if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds. The time left on the countdown is displayed below the current fan speed. Leaving the timer mode while the countdown is running will pause it until you return to this mode.
  If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than zero, the fans will run at that speed when triggered to turn off.

• TIMER TO OFF MODE Pressing the up or down button sets a countdown time. The fans will run at the speed set in ON Mode until the countdown ends. If there is a speed set in OFF Mode, the fans will run at that speed after the end of the countdown.
  The countdown will begin if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds. The time left on the countdown is displayed below the current fan speed. Leaving the timer mode while the countdown is running will pause it until you return to this mode.
  If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than zero, the fans will run at that speed when triggered to turn off.

• CYCLE MODE (ON AND OFF) Set an on duration and an off duration for the fan to cycle through continuously. Press the up or down button to first set a duration for the fan to activate. Then press the mode button again and set a duration for the fan to deactivate. When the fan is activated, it will run at the speed set in ON Mode. When the fan is deactivated, it will run at the speed set in OFF Mode.
  The countdown will begin if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds. The time left on the countdown before the next on or off phase is displayed below the current fan speed. Leaving the cycle mode while the countdown is running will pause it until you return to this mode.
  If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than zero, the fans will run at that speed when triggered to turn off.

CONTROLLER SETTINGS

Pressing the setting button will cycle through the controller’s available settings: DISPLAY, °F/ °C, CALIB. T°, and TRANS. T.

• DISPLAY SETTING

  • Adjusts the display brightness and auto-dimming. Press the up or down button to cycle through levels 1, 2, 3, A2 and A3; 3 being the highest brightness setting, while 1 is the lowest. In settings 1, 2 and 3, the display will stay at that brightness level and will not automatically dim the display.
  • A2 and A3 will set the brightness level at 2 and
    3, respectively, and will dim down the brightness level 1 when the controller is not being used after 15 seconds.

• TOGGLING THE DISPLAY

  • Lock the controller by holding the setting button.
  • Press the setting button to turn the display off. Pressing the setting button again will turn the display back on.
  • Programs will still run in the background while the LCD screen is off.

• °F/°C SETTING Changes the displayed units to Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press the up or down button to cycle through F and C. All displayed units will automatically convert when adjusting this setting.

• CALIBRATION TEMPERATURE SETTING Adjusts the temperature reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 2°F (or 1°C) increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -20°F to 20°F (or -10°C to 10°C) and will be applied to the sensor probe’s measurements.

• TRANSITION TEMPERATURE SETTING

  • Adjusts the transition threshold between the fan speeds in the AUTO Mode temperature triggers.
  • Press the up or down button to cycle through 0°F to 8°F (0°C to 4°C) and set a transition threshold. The fan speed will be set one level above the OFF Mode speed when the sensor temperature first meets or exceeds the high temperature trigger. For every transition threshold crossed, the fan speed will ramp up by one speed level, up until it reaches the speed set in ON Mode.
  • In this example, your high temperature trigger is set at 80°F, the OFF Mode speed is 0, and the ON Mode speed is 6. If the transition threshold is set to 0°F, then the fan will trigger to run at speed 6 when the sensor temperature meets
    or exceeds 80°F. However, if the transition threshold is set to 2°F, then the fan will trigger to run at speed 1 when it meets or exceeds 80°F. It will then step up to speed 2 when meeting or exceeding 82°F, speed 3 at 84°F, speed 4 at 86°F, and speed 5 at 88°F. From 90°F on, it will run at speed 6, the speed set in ON Mode.

ALERT ICONS

The alert icons are displayed at the top of the screen. Icons may flash when the controller signals an alert to notify you of any triggered function.
