DESCRIPTION
These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414. These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. The lighting unit is an energy-saving LED lighting device that uses one 10 W LED lamps and produces almost the same illumination as a standard 40 W incandescent lamp.

FEATURE
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.
Optimum ventilation performance:
Duct length, elbows, and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most ventilation fans. These products utilize SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues.
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.

Spot and continuous ventilation
This product is designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy environment at low airflow levels 24 hours a day. By utilizing the CustomVent Multi-speed module the product is built to run continuously at a pre-set lower level (0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 CFM). The setting is dependent on the size of the house and the individual wishes of the homeowner. It is crucial that the installer pre-set the lower setting during the installation. Please refer to the chart below and the switch indication on page 6.
This product is also built to take care of the homeowner’s spot ventilation needs when the room is occupied and kicks up to a maximum level of 100 CFM when the control switch is turned on.
