INSTALLATION: WIRING & CONTROLS
The fi nal step in this fan’s installation is to install its controls. The VentCool 1.8 unit can be equipped with two
different control packages: 1st generation or 2nd generation. Either control package works the same with
controlling the operation of the fan. The standard control package included with this fan contains: the control box,
1 wall switch, 1 mounting bracket for the wall switch, and 50 ft. of red CAT5 cable.
First, locate the control box. The control box is an 12.375” x 5.5” x 2.0” galvanized steel electrical box. It is connected
to the fan assembly and has a series of RJ45 ports on one side. These ports are labeled with the following label (refer
to Figures 12A or 12B, depending if unit is equipped with either 1st or 2nd Generation control package):
The green FAN, white WEB and yellow AUX ports are not used by this fan.
Connect the red CAT5 cable to the red W/S
W/S port located on the electrical control box on the \fan
housing. Then, run the cable through the attic and down the wall to the desired location for the wall switch
