SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: TF400 fan is not explosion proof and should not be used when a potentially explosive situation exists.
- Ensure that the electrical service to the fan is locked in the “OFF” position. Do not re-establish power supply until fan and activation device are completely installed. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
- Not suitable for use in cooking areas.
- This unit has rotating parts! Safety precautions must be exercised during installation, operation and maintenance. Turn impeller by hand to make sure it rotates freely.
- To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
- For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons — observe the following:
- a. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the factory.
- b. A qualified person(s) must perform installation work and electrical wiring in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
- c. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards as published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.
- d. When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, take care not to damage electrical wires or other hidden utilities.
- e. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors when used to exhaust moist/humid air.
- Check voltage at the fan to see that it corresponds to the motor nameplate.
- TF fans are suitable for installation over a shower or tub when installed in a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only). This unit must be grounded.
- The fan must not be installed in a ceiling that is thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device.
TF400 BATHROOM FAN
The delivery set includes:
- Fan
- Grille
- Hanger Bracket (4)
- Hardware Kit for Hanger Bracket:
- Screw (4)
- Washer (8)
- Vibration Isolator 1 (4)
- Vibration Isolator 2 (4)
- Vibration Isolator 3 (4)
FAN INSTALLATION
Disconnect and lock out power supply before performing any installation work. Working on or near energized equipment could result in death or serious injury.
STEP 1. INSTALL HOUSING
Hanger brackets allow the fan to be suspended when a mounting surface is not
available. Assemble vibration isolator 3 and hanger bracket to the housing
using a screw. Install vibration isolators 1 and 2 to the hanger bracket. Use
the washers provided and anchor bolt (not included) to secure the housing
(Figure 1).
STEP 2. INSTALL DUCT
Using the recommended duct size, connect round ductwork (not included) to the
damper/duct connector (Figure 2), and run duct to an exterior roof or wall cap
using the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance.
Ensure all duct connections are airtight. Note: Avoid installing the fan with
ductwork smaller than recommended. Fans installed with existing ductwork may
not achieve their rated airflow. Insulation around the ductwork can reduce
energy loss and inhibit mold growth.
STEP 3. CONNECT WIRING
Refer to wiring diagram on page 4. Reattach all electrical box covers before
applying power.
STEP 4. INSTALL GRILLE
Pinch the springs on the sides of grille and insert them into the slots in the
housing. Firmly push the grille against the ceiling to secure (Figure
3).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Only qualified personnel should work on electrical equipment. Working on or near energized equipment could result in death or serious injury.
- If the fan fails to start, consult wiring diagram to ensure proper connection.
- Check the incoming supply for proper voltage.
- Ensure that the electrical service to the fan is locked in the “OFF” position.
- Use a meter to test for continuity across the fan motor leads.
- If the motor leads show an open circuit, rewire the fan.
- Turn on the electrical supply and restart.
- If the fan fails to start, please contact factory.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Disconnect and lock out power supply before performing any maintenance. Working on or near energized equipment could result in death or serious injury.
- The motor is permanently lubricated. No additional lubrication is necessary.
- Periodic inspection, based upon usage, should be performed to ensure that the fan impeller is not obstructed. The fan should be inspected a minimum of every six (6) months.
- Excessive fan noise or vibration may indicate an obstructed impeller.
- To inspect and clean impeller:
- a) Remove the grille from the fan and remove any obstruction from the impeller.
- b) Vacuum the interior of the unit.
- c) Reconnect the grille to the fan.
- d) Turn power supply on.
