ENERGY STAR

To ensure quiet operation of ENERGY STAR® qualified inline and remote fans, each fan shall be installed using sound attenuation techniques appropriate for the installation. For bathroom and general ventilation applications, at least 8 feet of the insulated duct shall be installed between the exhaust or supply grilles(s) and the fan. For kitchen range hood remote ventilation applications, where metal duct is generally required by code, a metal sound attenuator shall be installed between the range hood and the fan

Warning / Important Note

• The compactness of the FG series, plus the adaptability to be mounted in any position, permits easy installation. This straight-thru air flow fan can be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical.
•  Because this unit has rotating parts, safety precautions should be exercised during this phase of installation, operation, and maintenance.
•  CAUTION: For General Ventilation Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Material and Vapors.
•  Remove unit from package and inspect within 15 days after receipt. If damaged, report damage to carrier. Do NOT operate this unit with visible damage to the blower or impeller assembly.
•  For FG Series fans, if the bracket is used to mount the fan, refer to illustration 1. If suspending a fan with hanger straps, refer to illustration 2.
•  To attach ductwork, use duct tape at the inlet and outlet to assure a good seal. If using FANTECH FC clamps: attach FC clamps and insert screws through the clamp into the inlet and outlet flanges.
• CAUTION: Use 1/2″ sheet metal screws to secure duct work to the inlet and outlet. It is critical that the screw penetrate the metal of the inlet flange but not so far as to bind the impeller. It may be necessary to angle screws away from the impeller.
• CAUTION: If not using FANTECH FC clamps use 1/4″ screws.
•  Screen guards must be installed when fan will be within reach of personnel, within seven (7) feet of working area, or when advisable for safety.
•  An appropriate duct termination device (roof cap, wall cap, louvered shutters, etc.) are to be used with this fan.

WARNINGS

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

•  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact your manufacturer’s representative.
•  Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
• When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
•  Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
•  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 such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
•  When cutting or drilling into the wall and ceilings, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
•  Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
•  If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – protected branch circuit.
•  NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

INSTALLATIONS

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM FOR MODEL FG DUCT FANS

•  When installing, keep the number of elbows and bends to a minimum. If necessary, long radius elbows or bends are recommended.
•  Duct sealant, caulk, or tape should be applied to all seams, including around the opening in the wall or ceiling on the interior and around exterior building penetrations, to prevent air leakage and maximize air performance.
•  Flex, spiral, or snap lock ducting may be used. If using a rigid duct, Fantech FC clamps are recommended to connect ductwork to the fan (see illustration 2). FC clamps make an air-tight seal at the connection points and reduce vibrations transmitted throughout the duct system. If screws are used, do not locate them in the entrance duct less than half an inch from the housing (see illustration 3).
•  To minimize static pressure losses and promote adequate airflow, minimize duct run lengths where possible. If using flex duct, keep duct runs straight and taut.
•  If installing in an unconditioned space, covering the fan with insulation is recommended to prevent condensation from forming.
•  For general ventilation applications, at least 8 ft of the insulated flexible duct shall be installed between the exhaust or supply grille(s) and the fan. The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, 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 airflow.

When connecting the duct to the fan, do not screw less than 1/2″ from the housing, it may block the blades.

Note

• The cable gland must be used for outside applications
• Model FGC comes pre-wired with a three-prong power cord.
• Fans are furnished with either 120V motors or 230V motors. The motors are not dual voltage.

INSTRUCTION FOR 120V and 230V MOTORS

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If fan fails to operate, please check the following:
•  Consult wiring diagrams included to ensure proper connections.
•  To ensure proper contact, check motor lead wiring, incoming supply wiring and capacitor connections.
•  If possible, use a meter to test for continuity between fan leads.
• Please note capacitor will show no reading if tested with meter.

MAINTENANCE

•  Since fan bearings are sealed and have been provided with an internal lubricating material, no lubrication is necessary.
•  Once a year, remove any airborne particles in the impeller. No other maintenance is required.
