Planning Your Installation

• When installing the ventilation fan in a new construction site, install the main body of the FAN and ductwork during the rough-in construction of the building. The SHIELD should be installed after the finished ceiling is in place.
• When installing in existing construction, use the provided cutout TEMPLATE for the ceiling. The SHIELD edge should overlap the finished ceiling.
• Not for use in the cooking area – see the diagram below.

Do not install a ventilation fan in areas where the ductwork will require configuration as shown.

NOTE:
If installing in existing construction, you may need to have access to space above and below the installation location.

There are multiple installation configurations possible for this ventilation fan. Not all configurations are shown. If your installation requires a variation other than those shown, consult with a licensed contractor to determine the best installation for your project. If you are replacing an existing fan, ensure that the new FAN will adequately cover the existing opening.

Connecting the Duct

• Install a circular duct to outlet and secure it with duct tape or clamps.
• Install the duct to the outlet with a gradient of 1°-2° to the outside as shown.
• 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.
• For models RVLH50 or RVLH70, a 4 in (10.16 cm) round is recommended for best performance.
• Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path, minimize building heat loss and gain, and reduce the potential for condensation.
• Place/wrap insulation around the duct and/or FAN to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, building heat loss, and gain.

Installing The Control

WARNING:
Tum Qff circuit breaker or remove the fuse(s) and test that power is off before wiring. Wiring the control live can cause a serious risk of electrical shock and/or damage to the control, voiding the warranty. For safety, this product must be installed in a grounded wall enclosure. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing electrical wiring, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician. Use only copper wire, do not use aluminum wire with this device.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK WARNING:
This control is automatic on the device. At no time should a person work on the fan/light or any appliance connected to this control without the electrical circuit breaker or fuse switched off. This CONTROL could turn on the attached device by the unintended presence of condensation while the work is being performed. Always disconnect the AC power before any work is done to any part of the circuit this CONTROL is connected to. If you do not understand this warning, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician.

CAUTION:

• Never place the CONTROL where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
• Use only a 120V AC 60Hz power supply connection.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not exceed the CONTROL’s maximum electrical load ratings, as indicated on the product label.
• Must be installed and used under your local electrical codes.
• If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the wall box, contact a qualified licensed electrician for installation.
• For use with permanently installed 120V AC-powered fans only.
• Use only #14 or #12 copper wire connections.

IMPORTANT:
Read each step carefully and perform in sequence. The CONTROL will not work or will become damaged if wires are connected incorrectly. To prevent damage, connect the CONTROL exactly as shown in the installation diagrams, otherwise, the warranty will be voided. Before wiring, straighten or clip the ends of the wire such that the ends of each wire are straight (if using the CONTROL to replace an existing switch). Strip wire insulation at the end of each wire to expose 16 mm (0.63 in) of copper. Where instructed to make a connection, twist the ends of stripped wires together and twist a proper connector clockwise until secure.

WARNING:
To avoid fire or risk of electrical shock, turn off the power at the circuit breaker or disconnect the fuse. Test the power is off before you begin wiring.

1. 1. For new installations, install an 8.9 cm (3.5 in) deep single-gang or multi-gang electrical wall enclosure, or (replacement of existing switch) remove the existing wall plate and switch device being replaced.

2. Attach 120V AC 60Hz 3-wire power (Hot/Neutral/Ground) inside the wall enclosure with a minimum of 15.2 cm (6 in) leads. Attach fan three wire leads inside the wall enclosure also with a minimum of 15.2 cm (6 in) leads. If an existing power connection is used in an existing wall enclosure you must confirm proper AC 120V Hot/Neutral/Ground is available.
3. Attach wires. Make sure the wall enclosure fan and the CONTROL are properly grounded. Make sure the ground wire is securely fastened. Tighten all ground screws or wire nuts securely. Use the proper-sized wire nut for #14 or #12 wire. Make sure to strip back the copper wire 1.6 cm (5/8 in) and twist the wire and nut clockwise.
4. Tuck wires into the wall enclosure and fasten the CONTROL to the wall enclosure with the two screws provided.
5. Attach the wall plate.
   • Wall plates that fit this control can be purchased at any hardware store. This control can be used with any decora-style wall plate (examples below).

Using The Control

BLUE LED LIGHT:
Lets you know when your fan is on (especially useful for fans with low sound levels).

• CONDENSATION SENSOR: Senses condensation (humidity) in the room and turns your fan on and off automatically.
• TIMER AND SENSOR SETTINGS: Minutes per hour (MPH) timer (left) and moisture sensitivity (right) settings (hidden behind a removable cover)
• FAN ON/OFF: Turns 20-minute countdown timer on and off (can be used to temporarily override CONDENSATION SENSOR).
• Changing The Settings: By default, the CONTROL comes with the condensation (humidity) sensitivity set to average levels and the MPH timer set to O minutes. To change the settings, remove the TIMER AND SENSOR SETTINGS cover by taking off the face plate and then inserting the end of the SETTINGS TOOL (or a non-metal tool of your own) into the two holes on either side of the CONTROL. Use the SETTINGS TOOL to turn the settings into dials. The MPH timer can be set between 0-60 minutes. The CONDENSATION SENSOR can be set at low, average, or high sensitivity. Once you change a setting, the changes will take effect after the next on/off cycle, so it’s recommended that you turn your fan on and then off after you make a change to the settings.
• Manual on/off: Press the FAN ON/OFF button once to manually turn the fan on, and again to turn fan Qff.
• Minutes Per Hour (MPH) Timer: This timer runs your fan for a selected amount of time every hour, to help ensure good indoor air quality (it’s also designed to help you more easily comply with indoor air quality standards). For example, set to “O”, the MPH timer will never turn on. Set to “10”, the MPH timer will turn your fan on 10 minutes every hour. Set to “60”, the MPH timer will run your fan all the time.
• Condensation Sensitivity: The minus sign is low condensation (humidity) sensitivity and the plus sign is high sensitivity; the dial can be set anywhere in between. In a very wet environment, lower sensitivity may be needed to avoid excessive fan run-time. In a very dry environment, higher sensitivity may be needed for the sensor to detect condensation. When the CONDENSATION SENSOR senses condensation, the BLUE LED LIGHT will pulse slowly.
• Setting Sensitivity: The dial is similar to a clock. The factory setting of the condensation (humidity) sensitivity dial is set to the noon position. If you feel the factory setting is too slow in turning on your fan, turn the dial to the right an hour at a time. Or, if you feel the factory setting turns your fan on too quickly, turn the dial to the left an hour at a time until the desired sensitivity level is reached.

Testing The Control

1. After you have completely installed the CONTROL, you can turn on the breaker to apply power.

   • WARNING: If the breaker trips or the fuse blows, fil2l2 and call a qualified Lil licensed electrician to investigate the problem. Turn the breaker off until the
     problem has been corrected.

2. Press the FAN ON/OFF button to see the fan turn on, and press the button again to see the fan turn off.

3. With the fan Qff, you can test the CONDENSATION SENSOR by blowing into the sensor as if you were blowing on a mirror to steam it. Use three puffs of breath and the fan will come on automatically. The BLUE LED LIGHT will pulse slowly; this shows you the CONTROL is sensing condensation.

4. Sensor Shut-Off: To turn off the sensor and make the control just a manually activated adjustable timer, hold down the FAN ON/OFF button for 15 seconds. To enable the sensor again, simply repeat the process.

Air Drafts In Wall Enclosure

Older homes may experience air flowing (drafts) from the inside wall cavity into or out of the wall enclosure depending on the draft situation. If this CONTROL is experiencing problems sensing condensation, sealing any enclosure openings is needed. The walled enclosure is easy to seal with standard painter’s caulking and a caulking gun. To begin you must disconnect all electrical power to the CONTROL before sealing the openings. Unscrew all box switches and pull them forward to allow access to the back of the enclosure. Apply caulking into all openings in the enclosure, even the very small ones. Seal every opening and around electrical wires at their entering point. Also, seal the perimeter around the enclosure between the wallboard and the enclosure. This will stop heat loss and allow this CONTROL to sense the room and not the drafts in the walls.

Example
Wall enclosures vary in design; seal any openings found.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fan

Q: How do I clean my FAN?

A: It's important to clean the SHIELD cover from time to time. Dust particles can build up on the SHIELD. See PAGE 21 for care and cleaning instructions.

Q: What is CFM?

A: CFM is a measurement of air movement (cubic feet per minute). The higher the CFM, the more air movement.

Q: What is a sane?

A: Sane is the rating used to describe the sound level. The lower the sane the quieter the fan. A sane is not a decibel. Fans around 1 sane or less are considered quiet while fans around 2 sane or more are considered loud.

Q: Can I install my bathroom ventilation FAN directly over a bathtub or shower?

A: Yes, but your FAN must be rated for over a shower/bath installation (all Re Vent models are) and must be on a GFCI-protected circuit. Consult a qualified licensed electrician about ground fault-protected safety circuits.

Q: Do I have to vent my FAN to the outside?

A: Yes. All spot ventilation fans must be vented to the outside. Follow your local code and consult it for advice. See PAGE 6 for national venting installation suggestions and guidelines.

Q: Why do the windows and mirrors fog even when the FAN is running?

A: If windows and mirrors are very cold, condensation can still form on those surfaces. If the bathroom is sealed tightly, replacement air may not be entering the room fast enough to displace moist air. You need a gap under the bathroom entrance door to allow air to enter the bathroom. If your home uses 3-inch diameter ducting, upgrading the duct pipe to 4-inch diameter can greatly increase the airflow. The vent pipe length should be 10 feet or less with minimal bends. Ensure that the vent pipe is not blocked.

Q: My FAN is operating, but the air is moving slower than normal.

A: Check for obstructions in the ductwork. A common problem is debris blocking the roof cap or outside wall vent. Older homes may have 3-inch diameter ducting and changing the duct pipe to 4-inch diameter can greatly increase airflow.

Q: Why is there water dripping from my FAN?

A: Dripping water is typically condensation from a cold vent pipe. Insulating the ductwork and FAN housing can help solve condensation problems. Running the FAN longer will ensure moisture is completely removed from the duct. Another possibility is rain entering the vent pipe through the roof vent opening.

Q: I have installed my FAN and it is not working, what do I do?

A: Make sure the black and white plug-in connector on the FAN is clicked into place. Check all electrical connections like wire nuts and quick connects. Make sure the circuit breaker is turned ON after completing all the electrical work. If you have any concerns consult a licensed electrician.

Q: How do I change the color temperature of the LED light?

A: The color temperature can be adjusted by sliding the selector switch on the back of the SHIELD.

Q: Can the LED light be connected to a dimmer switch?

A: Yes. The LED light can be connected to a dimmer switch, but the dimmer must be made to work with dimmable LEDs. If you are using a dimmer, you cannot connect the FAN and LED light together on the dimmer switch. The FAN wires cannot be connected to a dimmer switch.

Q: I only have 1 switch. Can I wire the LED light and FAN together?

A: Yes. See for instructions on how to do this. However, if you are using a dimmer, you cannot connect the FAN and LED light together on the dimmer switch. The FAN wires cannot be connected to a dimmer switch.

Control

Q: My existing switch only has two wires. How do I properly connect the CONTROL to the FAN?

A: You will need to test these wires with a voltage tester to determine which one is power and which one goes to the fan. The black wire on the CONTROL connects to the wire that is tested to be the incoming power. The red wire on the CONTROL connects to the wire that is tested and confirmed to connect to the FAN. You will need a neutral and a ground. Please refer to instructions on how to properly wire the CONTROL. If you have any concerns, we suggest consulting a licensed electrician.

Q: Will the CONTROL still work without a neutral wire?

A: A neutral is required to operate the CONTROL. Generally, there will be a neutral wire available in your junction box (wall box). Older homes or homes where the code was not followed can make it a problem to find a neutral. If that's the case for you, then you'll need an electrical testing device to find a neutral wire. We suggest you use a qualified licensed electrician to do this work.

Q: How do I set the CONTROL's sensitivity for my specific bathroom?

A: This is easy, see for instructions on how to do this.

Q: The FAN comes on too early or too frequently. How can I fix this?

A: This means the CONTROL's sensitivity is set too high. Simply turn the sensitivity dial counterclockwise slightly to reduce the sensitivity. We suggest small increments at a time. See for more details.

Q: The FAN doesn't come on quickly enough. How do I fix this?

A: If you want the CONTROL to come on faster, rotate the sensitivity dial clockwise to make the CONTROL more sensitive. Move the dial in small increments until you find the right setting. See for more details.

Q: Is it possible to disable the humidity sensing?

A: Yes! To disable the humidity sensing, first make sure the FAN is off. Then push down and hold the button on the CONTROL, releasing the button after 15 seconds. To enable the sensor again, simply repeat the process.

Q: If I disable the CONDENSATION SENSOR, can I still operate the FAN manually?

A: Yes, manual and timer operation is not affected.

Q: I use an air conditioner during the day in the summer and turn it off at night. When I do this my FAN turns on. What's happening?

A: Sometimes, when the air conditioning is turned off, the house will start to attract condensation (humidity). The effect is similar to taking a shower or a bath. The CONTROL senses the increased condensation (humidity) and turns the FAN on. To avoid this, you can reduce the CONTROL's sensitivity level. See for instructions on how to do this.

Q: The BLUE LED LIGHT is pulsing. What does that mean?

A: The pulsing is telling you that the CONTROL is sensing condensation (humidity) and is running the FAN to remove the condensation. When the BLUE LED LIGHT is solid (not pulsing on/off) the FAN is on and either in manual timer mode or in sensor-operated drying mode. Note: When the CONTROL senses condensation, it will run the FAN as long as it takes to return the room to its normal state. After a shower or bath, this is typically 25-35 minutes. The manual timer setting does not change the drying time. The manual timer is for smell removal time only.

Q: I lost the SETTINGS TOOL that came with the CONTROL SCREW KIT, can I use a screwdriver to make adjustments?

A: Yes. You can use any small tool, just be careful not to break the sensitivity and timer dials.

Q: What happens if someone turns the FAN off before the room is fully dried?

A: The CONTROL knows when your room needs to be dried. If someone turns the CONTROL off manually it will still sense the condensation and turn on again after 1 minute to finish drying the room.

Q: What is an MPH Timer?

A: MPH means Minutes Per Hour. This allows you to set how many minutes the fan will run and refresh the air in the room every hour. Set the timer at 10 minutes and then every hour the fan will come ON and run for 10 minutes then turn back OFF. The timer setting range is 0-60 minutes.

Q: Why would I use an MPH (Minutes Per Hour) timer?

A: The MPH timer is extremely useful. Homes need fresh air and when the fan is ON it is expelling stale air and that allows fresh air to come into the home. This is like opening and closing the front or back door of your home, allowing fresh air to enter. The MPH timer also lets you meet the newest codes that require fresh air into the new and more airtight homes. Another name for our MPH timer is Fresh Air Timer™.

Q: If I use the MPH timer, can I still turn ON/OFF the fan manually?

A: Yes you can. At any time, you can use your fan's ON/OFF switch to operate the fan.

Q: When the FAN is on, the CONTROL is clicking and the BLUE LED LIGHT is turning on and off. How do I fix this?

A: The CONTROL may be wired incorrectly. Check the wiring diagram on and ensure that the power, neutral, fan, and ground wires are connected correctly.

Q: Can I use the CONTROL in a 3-way wiring configuration?
A: Yes, the CONTROL can be used in multi-switch and/or multi-fan configurations. The instructions and wiring diagrams for these configurations can be found at www.reventfans.com/wiring.

Q: I still have additional questions.
A: Contact us at info@reventfans.com or call our service department at 877-543-8698. We are happy to assist you with any additional questions.
