Product Specification

SPECIFICATIONS

10 5/8 in. (W).
Sound output: 0.6/0.8 Sones

Typical Installation

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

Wiring Diagram

WARNING: Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes. Turn OFF power before removing or installing connectors
WARNING: COPPER TO COPPER ONLY. Do not use Aluminum wire.

Pre-installation

PLANNING INSTALLATION
Before beginning assembly of the product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with the package contents list and hardware contents. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

WARNING: Turn off electricity at breaker box before beginning installation.

Carefully remove the unit from the carton. Check area above installation location to be sure that wiring can run to the planned location and that duct work can be run and the area is sufficient for proper ventilation. Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation. Before installation, provide inspection and future maintenance access at a location that will not interfere with installation work.

NOTE: Installation may vary depending on how the previous bath fan was installed. Supplies necessary for the installation of your bath fan are not all included. However, most are available at your local home improvement or hardware store.

preset CFM level (80CFM or 110CFM).
When motion is not detected, the fan will continue operating at the preset CFM level
(80CFM or 110CFM) for 10 minutes and then shutoff. During operation the bath fan will
detect the humidity and operate to reduce it.| Green
Humidity Sensor| 1.When motion is detected, the bath fan will change to humidity sensor mode after 10 minutes.
2.When the environment humidity RH<60°/0,the bath fan will stop working.
3.When the environment humidity RHA0%, the bath fan will work at preset CFM level
(11 0 or 80) for 60minutes.
a.Once RH<60% and motion is not detected, the device will stop working.
b.If the environment humidity is maintained at an RH equaled to 60%, the bath fan will
stop working.

Care and Maintenance

WARNING: Disconnect power supply before servicing.

 See SAFETY INFORMATION before proceeding. Routine maintenance should be done at least once a year.
 Never use solvents, thinner or harsh chemicals for cleaning the fan.

Troubleshooting

rating on the fan matches the square footage of your room.
The damper is damaged or not working properly.| Check the damper to ensure it is opening and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer Service.
The bend in the duct is too close to the fan discharge.| Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in the duct closer than 18 in. to the fan discharge.
The fan discharge is reduced to fit a smaller duct| Use the recommended size ducting to reduce fan noise.
The fan body is not attached securely.| Be sure the fan is securely attached to the ceiling joists.
The fan is not clearing the room.| There is insufficient airflow intake in the room.| Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or opened to allow adequate air flow. The fan is not able to draw out of the room without enough airflow to draw front.
There is insufficient CFM.| Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the requirements for your room size.
NOTE: Using a tissue is not the correct method for determining if the fan is operating properly. If the fan clears steam from the room within approximately 15 minutes of completing your shower, then the fan is operating properly.
Fan does not operate when the switch is on| A fuse may be blown or a circuit tripped.| Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Connector plug from motor is not plugged in.| turn off power to unit. Remove Grill and plug motor into receptacle in housing. Restore power to unit.
Wiring is not connected properly.| Turn off power to unit. Check that all wires are connected.
Motor has stopped operating.| Replace motor.
Fan is operating, but air moves slower than normal.| Obstruction in the exhaust ducting| Check for any obstructions in the ducting. The most common are bird nests in the roof cap or wall cap where the fan exhausts to the outside.
Fan is operating louder than normal| Motor is loose.| Turn off power to unit. Remove grill and check that all screws are fully tightened. Restore power to unit.
Fan blade is hitting housing of unit.| Call the Customer Service Team at 1-855 -HD-HAMPTON or visit www.HomeDepot.com
