2. Installation Location and Mounting

The fan system is designed for attic installation. Ensure the chosen location provides sufficient space for the damper box and fan unit. The damper box may require specific framing adjustments, especially for standard 16-inch on-center ceiling rafters. The fan unit includes a top mounting bracket, allowing for upright or downward mounting configurations.

Connect the flexible ducting between the fan unit and the damper box using the provided stainless steel clamps. A connection ring is included to secure these parts. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leakage.

3. Electrical Connection

The fan unit connects to a standard 120V power outlet. The smart controller connects to the fan unit via a USB-C cable. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.

Operating Instructions

The CLOUDWAY EC Fan T10 is controlled by the included smart controller, which can also be accessed via the AC Infinity app through WiFi connectivity.

1. Smart Controller Functions

• Temperature and Humidity Triggers: Set specific temperature and humidity thresholds to automatically activate the fan.
• Minimum Fan Speed: Configure a continuous minimum fan speed, which will increase when triggers are met.
• Timer, Cycle, and Schedule Modes: Utilize these modes for custom on-demand activation based on specific timeframes or recurring cycles.
• Fan Speed Control: Adjust fan speed through 11 available levels.

2. WiFi App Control

Connect the controller to the AC Infinity app via WiFi to access advanced automation capabilities from any location. The app allows for remote fan control, unlocking advanced programs, setting notifications, viewing historical climate charts, and exporting CSV data.

Maintenance

The CLOUDWAY EC Fan T10 is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. The PWM-controlled EC motor has a 50,000-hour continuous run lifespan, utilizing dual ball bearings for reliable operation.

• Dust and Moisture Resistance: The fan is IP-44 rated, providing resistance against dust and moisture, suitable for humid environments.
• Damper System: The insulated damper features gravity-fed shutters that close when the fan is inactive, preventing attic air from entering the living space. Regularly check these shutters for proper function and ensure they are free from obstructions.
• Filter Considerations: While the damper box may have space for a filter, a dedicated filter holder is not included. Users wishing to integrate a filter may need to implement a custom solution.
• Ducting Inspection: Periodically inspect the flexible ducting for any signs of damage or blockages that could impede airflow.

Troubleshooting

• Fan Not Operating: Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a 120V outlet and the USB-C control cable is securely connected between the fan and the controller. Check the controller for any error messages or power indicators.
• Insufficient Airflow: Verify that the ducting is not kinked or obstructed. Ensure the damper shutters are opening fully when the fan is active. Check fan speed settings on the controller.
• Excessive Noise: While rated at 48 dBA, perceived noise levels can vary based on installation. Ensure the fan unit is securely mounted and not vibrating against surrounding structures. Consider using additional sound dampening materials around the fan or ducting if noise is a concern.
• Installation Challenges: The damper box is large. If encountering difficulty fitting it between standard 16-inch on-center rafters, modifications to the framing or alternative mounting solutions may be necessary.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your WiFi network is active and the controller is within range. Follow the app's instructions for pairing and troubleshooting network connections.
