FEATURES
These products employ innovative, state-of-the-art technologies that provide a number of customizable unique features that lead to improved indoor air quality. Please read this manual first in order to realize the benefits of this customizable, modular fan.
Outstanding Energy Savings:
These products are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30% ~ 70% more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements. Pick-A-Flow ™M Feature: This product comes with Pick-A-Flow™ speed options. The Pick-A-Flow™ switch on the face of the product allows the option to choose 80 or 100 CFM. This product can run continuously or intermittently, depending upon the needs of the owner.
The airflow can be set with the Pick-A-Flow™ switch, and humidity triggers can be set by adjusting the humidity setting dial. See the following visual operation chart.
Note:
- The power switch should be left on at all times.
- The product will also run when the humidity rises rapidly but does not reach the humidity trigger setting, and then stop after the time delay.
- The activation humidity settings on the dial are continuous from 30 %RH ~ to 80 %RH.
- The humidity detected by the sensor may differ from the value on your hygrometer.
- The product may cycle on and off if the humidity is constantly near the trigger point. This can be addressed by raising the humidity trigger setting on the dial.
- The fan will run for 20 minutes when the power switch is first turned on, regardless of the humidity sensor settings. After 20 minutes, the fan will return to sensor mode.
PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans and fan/light combination units do not create excessive heat which is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitor’s fan/light combination. Our efficient, cool-running motors do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.
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.

Warning Concerning Removal of Covers. The unit should be serviced by qualified technicians only. Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure a minimum of maintenance. Should your unit require service or parts, call the Panasonic Call Center at 1-866-292-7299 (USA).
