Page 3: Safety Considerations
DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. If you suspect this fan has been damaged during shipping, contact Field Controls technical support by phone at 1.800.742.8368, or email at eldtec@ eldcontrols.com. Whole House Fans are designed to be installed within a home’s attic, which makes them and their sub-components di cult to access once installed. -
Page 4: Electrical Requirements
GRAVITY DAMPER INFORMATION The VentCool Summit Series fan systems include gravity-closed gravity damper doors that are opened by air pressure created by fan operation. The dampers serve to block entry of air from the attic into the living space, and are provided with foam sealing and insulating material in the doors to reduce heat transfer from the attic space. -
Page 5: Ventilation Requirements
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS It is very important that the attic be su ciently ventilated for the fan system to operate properly. Without adequate ventilation, hot air exhausted from the home cannot easily escape from the attic, which creates back- pressure that will substantially reduce the fan’s performance. Operating this fan in an attic with less net free ventilation area than recommended will decrease its air ow and energy e ciency. - Page 6 WHERE TO LOCATE THIS FAN The best location for this fan is determined by an under- standing of its theory of operation: As a home heats up during the day, a large amount of heat is retained in its structure and contents. These materials give up their heat slowly and, in doing so, continue to heat the home’s inte- rior even though the outdoor temperature may, in fact, be very comfortable in the evening and at night.
- Page 7 INSTALLATION: GRAVITY DAMPER GRAVITY DAMPER ORIENTATION NOTE The ideal orientation of unit’s gravity damper is in a level position. If necessary, however, the damper can be installed at a slight angle. Before beginning the installation, make sure that the fan assembly is undamaged, and that the fan blade rotates freely.

Make sure that the exact location chosen for the rough opening will allow installation of the eggcrate inlet grille, and will not interfere with any lighting xtures, smoke alarms, or other objects installed in the ceiling. 5. Remove any insulation from the area of the exact chosen location, and make sure that no wiring, plumbing, bracing or other building elements will interfere with the damper as-...
- Page 9 INSTALLATION: FAN & DUCT NOTES: • The fan assembly must be soundly supported by attachment to structurally sound framing. Provide additional framing with minimum 2-by-4 lumber as needed for fan support. • The fan assembly should be positioned with at least 24” of free space in front of the fan, for air to be freely blown into the attic by the fan.
