The following instructions for operating this fan have also been provided in the “
How to Operate Your Whole
House Fan
” document included with this fan.
Before starting this fan for the fi rst time, verify that:
1. All wiring and connections have been made according to this manual and acceptable wiring standards, and that
this manual and all local codes and standards have been followed in this fan’s installation;
2. No tools or construction debris have been left in, on, or around the fan; and,
3. Plug the unit power cord into a 120 VAC outlet. Werify ON/OFF Breaker switch on electrical control box is ON.
Turn ON power to 120 VAC outlet.
Each of this fan’s control interfaces (the hardwired wall switch or wireless remote) looks and operates the same:
There are four buttons that turn the fan on or off, increase or decrease its speed, and set its timer. The appearance of
these buttons is shown in the illustration below. (See Figure 17)
START-UP & OPERATION
To merge a remote control transmitter and receiver, follow these steps:
1. Remove the receiver’s top cover.
2. On the receiver’s circuit board, locate the black button labeled LEARN. Press and release this button to
begin the merge sequence; the RJ45 port’s yellow transmission LED will illuminate.
3. Immediately
press and release any button on the wireless transmitter while the transmission LED is
illuminated. If the merge is successful, the transmission LED will turn off.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if there are any additional remote control transmitters to merge with the receiver.
5. Replace the receiver’s top cover.
A wireless remote is an available accessory for this fan. It is not included as part of the ventCool standard control
package.
To install a wireless remote with this fan, fi rst mount the wireless remote receiver on an attic joist near the control
box using wood screws and the pre-drilled mounting holes. Connect one end of the blue CAT5 cable provided with
the remote control kit to the receiver’s RJ45 port. Then, run the cable to the fan’s control box and connect its free
end to the blue RMT port.
Field Controls remote control transmitters and receivers are pre-merged at our factory. They may, however, become
unmerged prior to installation. A remote control transimitter that has become unmerged from its receiver will not
be able to control the fan. In this case, the transmitter and reciever will need to be remerged.
