GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Explanation of symbol word panels

Denotes a hazard that could result in property damage.

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 the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at 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 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

guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, 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.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED

WARNING

CAUTION

Make sure that the electric service supply voltage is AC 120V, 60Hz.

Canada only: Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock.

Ceiling joist must be subjected to static load more than five times the weight of the product.

Install the fan at least 1.5m(5feet) above the floor, and the fan must be installed above a

counter or major appliances that serves as a barrier.

A statement to the effect that when the product is to no longer be used, it must not be left

in place but remove, to prevent it from possibly failing.

Do not install this ventilating fan where interior room temperature may exceed 104°F (40°C)

This product must be properly grounded.

Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device. Solid state controls may cause

harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise.

Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and

the Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Always disconnect the power source before working on or near the fan,motor or junction box.

Protect the supply wiring from sharp edges oil, grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other objects.

Do not kink the supply wiring.

DESCRIPTION

These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.

These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is

designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy.

The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter

flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.

This Panasonic ventilating fan model is equipped with a motion sensor and a humidity sensor that turn

on automatically when motion is detected, when humidity increases rapidly, or when humidity rises above

a 30% ~ 80% relative humidity set-point. It is user-adjustable to operate 0.5 ~ 60 minutes after the sensors

are no longer detected.

FEATURE

All the WhisperCeiling ventilating fans come with Pick-A-Flow

speed options. The Pick-A-Flow switch on the face of all

WhisperCeiling ventilating fans allow the option to choose

50 – 80 – 110 CFM for the FV-0511VQ1 or 110 – 130 – 150 CFM

for the FV-1115VQ1.

These fans can run with constant air volume depending upon

the needs of the owner.

Optimum Ventilation Performance:

Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most

ventilation fans. This fan utilizes Smart Flow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the

system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within

the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues.

The WhisperCeiling ventilating fans are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30% - 70%

more energy efficient than the AC motor.

Outstanding Energy Savings:

The delay time is determined

by timer preset switch.

The unit continues running for

an adjustable duration

of 0.5 to 60 minutes, after

motion is no longer detected.

1. The product will run when environment humidity rise rapidly but not reach to the humidity setting,

and stop after delay preset time.

2. Humidity setting selector is stepless change between 30 %RH~80 %RH.

3. The humidity detected by sensor may differ from the value on your hygrometer.

4. The product may turn on and off cause by the unstable environment humidity, you can improve

it by adjusting the Humidity setting selector.
