GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following :

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.

WARNING

These products must be properly grounded.

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

harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED

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

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption. It also

incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick

remove type. A damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity

sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.

These products have two speeds. “80” is low airflow and "110" is high airflow.

FV-08-11VFM5 is equipped with a motion sensor that shifts the fan to vent automatically when

motion is detected. It stops the flow automatically after 20 minutes when motion is no longer

detected.

3. Adjust the length of Flex-Z Fast bracket

to fit the spacing between joists, fix the

Flex-Z Fast bracket with the other

two pre-installed tapping screws. (Fig.3)

4. Remove junction box cover and secure conduit or

stress relief to junction box knock-out hole. (Fig.4)

6. Install the adaptor to Flex-Z Fast bracket by

using 2 self-drilling screws. (Fig.4)

5. Install the circular exhaust duct and secure it with

clamps, or ties and seal it with mastic or approved

foil tape. A 3 or 4 inch circular duct is needed to

connect to the relevant part of adaptor.(Fig.4)

7. Refer to wiring diagram on page 6. Follow all the

local electrical safety codes as well as the National

Electrical Code (NEC). Using UL approved wire nuts,

connect house power wires to ventilating fan wires.

(Fig.5)

2. Bend down 4 tabs for positioning; install the

Flex-Z Fast bracket to joists by using the 2

pre-installed tapping screws. (Fig.2)

1. Remove the junction box and duct adaptor from

the fan housing before installing the fan. Remove

the machine screw (M4X6) and disconnect the

electrical molex cable by pinching the tabs to insure

the junction box and adaptor clear the fan housing

when sliding the adaptor off the housing. (Fig.1)

The fan position between joists from 16" to 24"

on center can be adjusted flexibly.

CAUTION

Please wear gloves to protect hands during

the installation as follow.

Connection method for 3 inch adaptor connector

Please remove the tape, which protects the

11. Remove the tapes from the louver and springs

before installing the grille to the fan. Remove screw

(M4X8) and light cover. (Fig.9)

10. Select the air volume speed by adjusting the

switch. Factory setting is "80" position; sliding

"110" is high airflow position. (Fig.8)

CAUTION

Make sure the switch is not set at the middle

position; otherwise the fan will not function.

8. Insert fan body and slide into adaptor until assembly

the flange overlaps the Flex-Z Fast bracket. Secure

the fan body to Flex-Z Fast bracket by using 2

self-drilling screws, plug connector to receptacle and

secure the fan body to adaptor by using machine

screw (M4X6). (Fig.6)

CAUTION

Secure the duct adaptor to the fan housing

with the machine screw (M4X6) by

re-inserting and carefully screwing the adaptor
