foam minimizes vibration and seals possible
air passages between the living space and
the attic.
Using the six pre-drilled holes in the whole
•
house fan flange, secure the fan assembly to
the ceiling joists and framing using fasteners
provided.
Note:
Orientation of the whole house fan
should allow clearance for a fully-open shut-
ter (not only vertical distance above the fan,
but also horizontal clearance at hinged
side of the fan as described in Step 2).
Step 7: Make electrical
wiring connections
Refer to "Electrical Requirements" section,
•
page 3, for information on bringing electric
power to fan location.
At your home's breaker box, turn off the elec-
•
trical power to the circuit associated with the
fan. Do not turn on the power to this circuit
until you have completely finished the fan
installation.
From the attic, remove the cover from the
•
electrical wiring box on the side of the fan
housing.
Using wire nuts make the following electrical
•
connections
(Illustration

Hot wire from power supply (typically
•
black) to the fan's black wire
Common (neutral) wire from power
•
supply (typically white) to the fan's
white wire
Ground wire from power supply
•
(typically bare copper) to the fan's
green wire

previously specified are only to be used for
an optional wall-mounted control. Do not re-
move insulation from these lead ends unless
installing the optional controller.
Warning:
Failure to isolate these leads (blue,
red, & yellow) from each other and from
other conductors, including the metal wiring
box, could result in erroneous unit operation
or possibly damage to the unit.
Note:
For more information about the option-
al wall-mounted controller and availability,
call 309-692-6969.
Push the wire connections into the unit's
•
wiring box. Secure the cover to the electrical
wiring box.
Turn on the switch mounted to the electrical
•
wiring box.
Before leaving the attic, place the attic insu-
•
lation around the whole house fan.
Step 8: Install the grill
Using the six fasteners provided, center and
•
install the grill over the opening from the
hallway. The fasteners should penetrate the
joists and framing added in Step 5.
Note:
It may be necessary to trim the sheet-
rock around the perimeter of the opening to
allow for a flush installation of the grill. If so,
trim 3/4-inch from the edges of the long
sides of the sheet rock opening and 5/8-inch
from the edges of the short sides of the sheet
rock opening using a utility knife.

ATTIC VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
In order for the whole house fan to work prop-
erly, adequate ventilation is needed to exhaust
the hot air from the attic that the fan pulls into
the attic from your home's living space. If your
attic is not adequately vented, the whole house
fan will shut off automatically as a result of fan
motor overload.
The WHSP2000 whole house fan requires a
•
minimum of 2.6 square feet, or approximate-
ly 384 square inches, of open attic vent area.
Check your attic ventilation system to make
•
sure that it provides at least this minimum
amount of open vent area. Typically, under-
eave or soffit vents are installed near the
floor of the attic, and roof louvers, gable
vents, or ridge vents are installed high in
the attic to allow air to escape. These vents
are installed to provide attic ventilation year
round, and when the whole house fan is on,
these vents provide the net free area to
exhaust it.
Remember:
When measuring your vents,
obstructions such as louvers and screens
need to be factored into the open area. A
good rule of the thumb is to divide the
vent's size in half.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Your whole house attic fan runs on standard
115-volt house current. Electrical installation
and wiring of the fan must adhere to the
National Electrical Code and all local codes
that apply, including fire-rated construction.
Wiring the whole house attic fan itself is a
simple procedure that most homeowners can
accomplish (see Step 7, page 3). However,
bringing the electrical power supply to the fan
requires a higher level of electrical knowledge
and skill. If you are not experienced at instal-
ling residential electrical wiring and/or are not
familiar with all national and local electrical
codes, you should hire a qualified electrician
to do the wiring for you.
5-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The WHSP2000 is warranted for five (5) years
from date of purchase against defects in work-
manship and materials. This warranty covers
the fan blades and motors.
If you believe any part is defective, call
1-800-527-1924 for Customer Service. If it
is determined that the product needs to be
returned to Air Vent, it must be shipped freight
prepaid to Air Vent, Inc., 3000 West Commerce
Street, Dallas, Texas 75212. If found to be de-
fective following examination by Air Vent, Inc.,
any defective part will be replaced free of
charge and returned freight prepaid. This war-
ranty does not cover any labor costs, including
those required for field repair or replacement
