INSTALLATION: WIRING & CONTROLS
The fi nal step in this fan’s installation is to install its controls. The standard control package included with this
fan contains: the control box; 1 hardwired wall switch; 1 mounting bracket for the wired switch and 50 ft. of
orange CAT5 cable.
First, locate the control box attached to fan assembly section.. The control box is an 12.375” x 5.5” x 2” galvanized
steel electrical box with a series of 3 RJ45 ports on one side. Refer to Figure 12. These ports are labeled with
the following label:
Connect the orange 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 hardwired wall switch. Refer to
Figure 13 for Wall Switch. Note: This cable is low-voltage but unshielded. Building Codes require unshielded

Using the provided wall mounting bracket (Figure 14) as a template, trace an outline on the wall where you would
like the switch to be located. Following this outline, cut a hole for the mounting bracket, place it inside, and secure
it with the locking tabs by tightening the silver screws. Then, connect the free end of the red CAT5 cable
to the port on the back of the wall switch. Set the switch in place and secure its face plate to the mounting
bracket using the attached white screws.
The wall switch is confi gurable for multiple VentCool product lines which means it can be confi gured to
operate in different modes. Refer to Figure 15 when setting DIP switches for VentCool 3.4 and 4.9
operating parameters. Verify the wall switch control panel DIP switches are set to switch 1 is ON and 2
