METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
3a. Dehumidistat Only: For installations where the fan is to be controlled
from the dehumidistat only. Connect the Black lead from the dehumidistat to
the Hot (Black) wire from the power supply. Connect the Red lead from the
dehumidistat to the Black wire from the fan. Connect the ground wire (green or
bare copper) from the house to the Green screw of the mounting plate. Use
approved methods for all connections (Figure 1).
3b. Dehumidistat with manual On switch: For installations where a switch (not
included) to manually turn the fan on is preferred or required, run two Hot
(Black) wires from the power source. Connect one Hot (Black) wire to the black
lead of the dehumidistat. Connect the other Hot (Black) wire from the power
source to the on switch. Connect the Red lead from the dehumidistat to the
Black wire from the fan. Run a Black wire from the on switch to the Black wire
of the fan (both the Black wire from the dehumidistat and the Black wire from
the on switch will be connected to the Black wire from the fan). Connect the
ground wire (green or bare copper) from the house to the Green screw of the
mounting plate. Use approved methods for all connections (Figure 2).

4. Mount back plate securely to gang box with screws provided in the parts
package.
NOTE: Make sure the back plate is flat without any undue stress.
5. Re-install front cover by aligning the two holes on the top of the cover
with the two posts on the plate. Secure with cover screw supplied in parts
pack (Figure 3).
6. Turn power on at circuit breaker or fuse panel.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the adjustment knob, turn the dehumidistat down to its lowest setting,
then to the highest setting. Cycle at least 3 times to assure proper system
function. Return control knob pointer to desired setting.
DEHUMIDISTAT: The dehumidistat is designed to automatically power the fan when
the humidity level rises above the chosen level. If the fan is not operating,
adjust the humidity setting on the dehumidistat to a lower setting. Once the
desired humidity level is reached, the fan will automatically turn off.
MANUAL ON SWITCH: An optional manual on switch allows the user to power the
fan no matter what the humidity level is. When the switch is turned on, the
fan will turn on. This is especially useful for odor control in bathrooms.
NOTE: Either the dehumidistat OR the on switch can power the fan. To turn the
fan off, both the dehumidistat and the manual on switch must be off.
CAUTION: NEVER USE THE DEHUMIDISTAT SWITCH AS A MEANS TO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE FAN WHEN SERVICING. ALWAYS TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE PANEL.
