ORTECH OD45-9005 Ventilation Fan

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 questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the 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) by all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• 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 a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• Acceptable for use over a tub or shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only).
• This unit must be grounded.
• Not for Use in Kitchens.
• To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
• WARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Fan With Any Solid-State Speed Control Device.
• The fan must not be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapours.
2. This product is designed for installation in ceilings up to a 12/12 pitch (45-degree angle). The duct connector must point up. DO NOT MOUNT THIS PRODUCT IN A WALL.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off the power unit.
4. Please read the specification label on the product for further information and requirements.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and an attractive appearance – lower or remove the grille and vacuum the interior of the unit with the dusting brush attachment. The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noise- ses, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.

OPERATION

The fan continues to run at the preset lower speed of 45 CFM. When the switch is turned on, the fan will run at high speed.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

1. Do not use it in a cooking area.
2. Two ways to connect ductwork to a factory-shipped unit.

TYPES OF TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

1. Housing mounted to I-joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1”)
2. Housing mounted to joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1” )
3. Housing mounted to truss (Start at step “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 2”)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

TYPES OF TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

1. Housing mounted to I-joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1)
2. Housing mounted to joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1” )
3. Housing mounted to truss (Start at step “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 2”)

MOUNT HOUSING TO JOIST OR I-JOIST
Hold the housing so that it is in contact with the bottom of the joist. Attach the housing with four (4) screws to the joist through the holes in each mounting flange.

MOUNT WITH HANGER BARS

• Sliding hanger bars have been provided, which allow the housing to be positioned accurately anywhere between the framing.
• The bars span up to 24 in. and can be used on all types of framing: I-joist, standard joist, and truss construction. Slide hanger bars onto the housing and adjust as needed to fit between framing.
• Extend the hanger bars to the width of the framing. Position the ventilator with the hanger bar tabs wrapped around the bottom edge of the framing, holding the ventilator in place.
• Secure hanger bars to framing using one screw on each end of the hanger bar.
• Select a proper hole and secure the hanger bars together using flange screws.

ATTACH DAMPER/DUCT CONNECTOR
Snap the damper/duct connector onto the fan housing. The connector must be flush with the top of the housing, and the damper flap should fall closed. An insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible installation If a rigid duct is used, a short (1-3 feet) section of the insulated flexible duct will ensure quiet operation

INSTALL ROUND DUCTWORK
Connect the round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the ductwork to a roof or wall cap (not included). Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork connections so that they are airtight. 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 mould growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.

CONNECT ELECTRICAL WIRING

Run 120 V AC house wiring to the location of the fan. Use only UL-approved connectors (not included) to attach the house wiring to the wiring plate. Refer to the wiring diagram, and connect the wires as shown.

INSTALL GRILLE
Install ceiling material to complete the ceiling construction. Then, cut around the fan housing. To attach the grille assembly to the fan housing, pinch the grille springs on the sides of the grille assembly, and position the grille into the housing with the grille springs in the appropriate slots. Push the grille assembly towards the ceiling to secure it.

SERVICE PARTS

Blower Assembly includes parts 5, 4, d, 3, c, b, a. Replacement installation: Remove the screw (part c), then take out the motor plate (part 3) from the housing (part 8) by pushing down the rib in the plate while pulling it out on the side of the housing. Replace the broken parts.
WARNING: Before replacing, be sure to turn off power at the power source.
