Using Wall-Mounted Controls

For Models 4100, 4150, 4175
NOTICE: Continuing to press the RAISE/LOWER pad after the vent lid is open or closed will cause damage to the lift system.

24 Wall-Mounted Control (4100, 4150, 4175)

1. Activate the fan by preselecting 1-LOW, 2-MEDIUM, or 3-HIGH, on the fan-blade speed switch.

2. On the wall control, press the RAISE/LOWER switch pad. Select and press the RAISE position until the vent lid reaches the desired height, then release the switch pad. At full-open, the vent fan lift motor will stall; release the switch pad immediately.

3. Select and press the LOWER position until the lid lowers to the desired height, then release the switch pad. At fully closed, the vent fan lift motor will stall; release the switch pad immediately.

4. When the fan is equipped with a fan blade motor-reversing switch, preselect either OUT or IN on the reversing switch; the center position is OFF
   (neutral position). As the vent lid opens and reaches approximately 4 in. (102 mm), the fan blade turns on to the preselected speed and direction. See “Operating the Reverse Switch” .
   OUT (exhaust mode) pulls fresh air in through a slightly open window or door while expelling hot, stale, dusty air out to the roof area. IN (intake mode) draws air into the coach from the roof area and effectively pressurizes the coach if all windows, doors and other vents are closed.

5. When the lid closes, the fan motor automatically turns OFF. Any time you wish to reverse the fan blade motor while the system is in operation, select the center OFF (neutral) position and allow the fan blade to stop completely. Once stopped, you may safely select the opposite direction to restart the motor.

6. When the fan is equipped with a built-in thermostat, preselect a comfort setting from deep blue to deep red on the thermostat dial (22 °F to 123 °F; –6 °C to 51 °C). The fan motor will turn ON or OFF, based on the interior ambient temperature when compared to the thermostat setting. When the thermostat temperature is “satisfied,” the fan motor will turn OFF and the lid will stay open. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the fan blade motor will activate automatically. The lid must be open at least 4 in. (102 mm) and OUT or IN must be selected (not the center OFF position). The ON/OFF switch on the wall control next to the RAISE/LOWER switch must be in the ON position before the thermostat can activate the fan blade.

Using Wall-Mounted Controls

For Models 3300, 3350

1. Turn the three-speed knob to the desired speed (0-OFF, 1-LOW, 2-MEDIUM, or 3-HIGH).

2. Select UP to raise the vent lid or DOWN to close the lid from the mini-rocker switch located near the lift motor.

3. When equipped with a fan blade ON/OFF switch (Model 3300), select ON or OFF.

4. When the fan is equipped with a fan blade motor-reversing switch (Model 3350), preselect either OUT or IN on the reversing switch; the center position is OFF (neutral position). As the vent lid opens and reaches approximately 4 in. (102 mm), the fan blade turns on to the preselected speed and direction. See “Operating the Reverse Switch”.
   OUT (exhaust mode) pulls fresh air in through a slightly open window or door while expelling hot, stale, dusty air out to the roof area. IN (intake mode) draws air into the coach from the roof area and effectively pressurizes the coach if all windows, doors and other vents are closed.

5. When the lid closes, the fan motor automatically turns OFF. Any time you wish to reverse the fan blade motor while the system is in operation, select the center OFF (neutral) position and allow the fan blade to stop completely. Once stopped, you may safely select the opposite direction to restart the motor.

6. These two models are equipped with a built-in thermostat. Preselect a comfort setting from deep blue to deep red on the thermostat dial (22 °F to 123 °F; –6 °C to 51 °C). The fan motor will turn ON or OFF, based on the interior ambient temperature compared to the thermostat setting. When the thermostat temperature is “satisfied,” the fan motor will turn OFF and the lid will stay open. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the fan blade motor automatically activates. The lid must be open at least 4 in. (102 mm) and OUT or IN must be selected and not the center OFF position (Model 3350). The ON/OFF switch on the fan must be in the ON position (Model 3300) before the thermostat can activate the fan blade.

7. Both models are equipped with a rain sensor. When the lid is open and moisture contacts the sensor, the lid closes and disengages the fan blade motor. When the rain sensor dries, it will not automatically re-open the lid. Manually opening the lid by using the lift-motor knob will bypass the rain sensor with fan operation, reverting to the setting prior to the sensor’s activation. When the rain sensor has been overridden by manually opening the lid, the rain sensor will become active again once it has dried.

Using the Controls

For Models 4201, 4251, 4301, 4351′

2. Select UP to raise the vent lid or DOWN to lower the lid from the remote wall-mounted switch.

3. 3. When equipped with a fan blade ON/OFF Switch (Model 4201/4301), select ON or OFF. When the fan is equipped with a fan blade motor-reversing switch (Model 4251/4351), preselect either OUT or IN on the reversing switch; the center position
   is OFF (neutral position). As the vent lid opens and reaches approximately 4 in. (102 mm), the fan blade turns on to the preselected speed and direction. See “Operating the Reverse Switch” on page 15.
   OUT (Exhaust mode) pulls fresh air in through a slightly open window or door while expelling hot, stale, stuffy air out to the roof area. IN (Intake mode) draws air into the coach from the roof area and effectively pressurizes the coach if all windows, doors and other vents are closed.

4. When the lid closes, the fan blade motor automatically turns OFF. Anytime you reverse the fan blades while the system is in operation, select the center OFF (neutral) position and allow the fan blades to stop completely. Once stopped, you may safely select the opposite direction to restart the motor.

5. Both models 4301 & 4351 are equipped with a rain sensor. When the lid is open and moisture contacts the sensor, the lid closes and disengages the fan blade motor. When the rain sensor dries, it will not automatically re-open the lid. Manually opening the lid by using the lift-motor knob will bypass the rain sensor with fan operation, reverting to the setting prior to the sensor’s activation. When the rain sensor has been overridden by manually opening the lid, the rain sensor will become active again once it has dried.

Cleaning the Fan

26 Cleaning the Fan

1. Fuse and Fuse-Holder Cap
2. Pop N’ Lock™ Screen Ring
3. Fan Blade
4. Fan Blade Screw

Cleaning the Fan

1. Remove and inspect the fuse, and replace if necessary. For fuse removal instructions, see “Cleaning the Fan” on page 24.

2. Remove the Pop N’ Lock™ screen ring by grasping the finger tab with one hand and pulling straight down. Use your free hand to brace against the screen assembly (control panel) to prevent breaking the Pop N’ Lock™ screen. Removing the Pop N’ Lock may be difficult at first, but will get easier with repeated removal.

3. Use one hand to hold the fan blade to prevent it from turning and remove the Phillips-head screw from the center hub face of the fan blade. With the fan-blade screw removed, grasp the fan blade with two hands on opposite sides (for example, the 3:00 and 9:00 positions) and pull down firmly. It may be necessary to wiggle the fan blade up-and-down and side-to-side until it slides off the motor shaft.

4. Clean the Pop N’ Lock™ screen insert and fan blade with window cleaner or non-abrasive dish soap and warm water. You may also place the screen insert and fan blade in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher.
   Optional: Once the screen and blade are clean and dry, wipe or spray a waterbased (not petroleum-based) protectant on the screen and blade, and buff to a high gloss. This minimizes dust and dirt build-up and eases future cleaning.

5. Re-assemble the fan by reversing the steps above.

Replacing the Fuse

27 Fuse Replacement

1. Fuse-holder Cap
2. 4 A “Slow Blow” Fuse

Fuse Replacement

1. Locate the black fuse-holder cap on the face of the screen assembly. Twist the fuse-holder cap in a counter-clockwise direction (from right to left) 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
2. Gently pull down on the fuse-holder cap. The fuse-holder cap should come free with the fuse attached to the back side.
3. Inspect the fuse to see if the wire inside the glass is broken and remove from the fuse-holder cap if necessary.
4. Be sure to use only a 4 A “slow blow” fuse. Place one end of the new fuse into the back side of the fuse-holder cap, and gently push the other end of the fuse up and into the fuse holder.
5. Screw the black fuse-holder cap back into place by turning in a clockwise direction (left to right) until snug (1/4 to 1/2 turn), and release.
