Page 3: Safety Considerations
Thank you for purchasing a VentCool ® ducted Whole House Fan by Field Controls. This fan has been designed to provide many years of natural, quiet, and energy-effi cient cooling. Please take a few minutes to read over this manual and its accompanying documents to make sure you are prepared to install the Whole House Fan system. -
Page 4: Electrical Requirements
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The VentCool PSC Tahoe Series Whole-House Fan Systems require a 115 volt electrical power supply of mini- mum 15A ampacity and maximum 15 Amp circuit overcurrent protection. We strongly recommend providing a dedicated circuit for this fan system. -
Page 5: Ventilation Requirements
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS It is very important that the attic be suffi 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 airfl ow and energy effi ciency. - Page 6 This essentially “pre-cools” the home ahead of the rise in temperature the next day, which can reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning. This VentCool Whole House Fan has been designed specifi cally for quiet and effi cient operation. As such, we strongly recommend homeowners run this fan through the night to reduce their energy expense.

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.
