PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS FAN [For models of: FV-13VKML4, FV-08VKML4, FV-13VKSL4, FV-08VKSL4.] The WhisperGreen line of ventilating fans employs state of the art technology providing a number of unique features that lead to improved indoor air quality. These features need to be fully understood prior to installation to full realize the benefits fans offer. Spot and Continuous Ventilation: These fans are designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy environment at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. By utilizing CustomVent Variable Speed Control the fans are built to run continuously at a pre-set lower level (FV-13VKML4 and FV-13VKSL4:0,50,70,90, 110 CFM ; FV-08VKML4 and FV-08VKSL4:0,30,40,50,60,70 CFM). The setting is dependent on the size of the room 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 7. CustomVent Variable Speed Control (Lower Setting). ASHRAE 62.2-2007 (sq.feet) < 1, 000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 4,500 5,000 5,500 6,000 6,500 7,000 Two Bedrooms Three Bedrooms Four Bedrooms 33 40 48 38 45 53 43 50 58 48 55 63 53 60 68 58 65 73 63 70 78 68 75 83 73 80 88 78 85 93 83 90 98 88 95 103 93 100 108 Five Bedrooms 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 - These fans are also built to take care of the homeowner's spot ventilation needs when the room is occupied. This models kick-up to a maximum level of 130 CFM for the FV-13VKML4 and FV-13VKSL4 and 80CFM for the FV-08VKML4 and FV-08VKSL4 either when the switch is turned on (available with FV-13VKSL4 and FV-08VKSL4) or activated by the SmartAction Motion Sensor (available with FV-13VKML4 and FV-08VKML4). A High / Low Delay Timer, located inside the fan unit, is utilized to return the fan back to the pre-set Continuous ventilation mode. The installer needs to consult with the homeowner for the desired setting on the timer (0.5 - 60 minutes) and make the adjustments during the installation. Optimum Ventilation Performance: Generally duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure hindering the performance of most ventilation fans. This fan utilize SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending on the amount of resistance. This allows the fan to perform as rated, whether facing 0.1,0.2 or even 0.25 inches water gauge. The bottom line is that it makes for easier installation. The installer no longer has to worry about compromising the fan's performance. Outstanding Energy Savings: These fans are the very first to be built using DC motor technology. The new DC motor is 30% - 70% more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements. 4
