4. Setup (Installation)
The Fitop bathroom exhaust fan is designed for easy installation without cutting, fitting standard ceiling openings. Ensure your ceiling has adequate space for the housing dimensions.
Figure 4.1: Product Dimensions. Housing: 9" x 9" x 5.9". Light Cover: 14.28" x 14.28".
Figure 4.2: Required Ceiling Opening Size: 9.25" x 9.25".
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Ceiling Opening: Measure and cut the ceiling opening to 9.25 inches by 9.25 inches. Ensure the opening is large enough to accommodate the fan housing.
Figure 4.3: Steps 1-3 of installation, including measuring the ceiling opening, placing the fan housing, and mounting with hanger bars.
- Place Fan Housing: Insert the fan housing through the existing hole in the ceiling. Bend the four ears to place the fan housing on the ceiling. The fan housing should be level and perpendicular to the joist.
- Mount with Hanger Bars and Mounting Holes: Engage the hanger bar with the channel on the product's casing. Adjust the hanger bar as necessary to mount the product between the framing. Align the hanger bar tab with the inner side of the framing. Using screws, install the product onto the framing through the holes. Using screws, attach the end tab of the hanger bar to the framing. Using screws, attach the hanger bar onto the product's casing.
- Attach Duct Connector: Attach the duct connector to the fan housing as shown in the drawing.
Figure 4.4: Steps 4-6 of installation, including attaching the duct connector, connecting house and fan wires, and installing the duct.
- Connect House and Fan Wires: Connect the wire through the hole and into the junction box (not included). Use 120VAC house wiring from the wall switch to the fan as shown in the wiring diagram. 14AWG is the smallest conductor that shall be used for branch-circuit wiring. CAUTION: Make sure power is switched off at the service panel before starting installation. Push the wires back through the hole. Reattach the wiring box cover.
- Install the Duct: Install a circular 4-inch duct (not included) and secure it with duct tape or clamps (neither included). Finish ceiling work. The ceiling hole should be aligned with the edge of the fan housing.
- Plug Fan and Light in the Power: Plug the motor assembly back into the power unit. Plug the LED light into the proper power units respectively as the label indicated.
Figure 4.5: Steps 7-9 of installation, including plugging in the fan and light, installing the light panel, and testing the color temperature switch.
- Install the Light Panel: Attach the LED panel by pinching the mounting spring-ends and inserting them into the narrow rectangular slots in the fan housing. Test the unit.
- Switch on the Light: Switch on the light with the last memory status. Toggle the switch (on-off-on) quickly to change to the next CCT (3000K, 5000K, 4000K).
- Special Note for No-Attic Installation: If you cannot reach the ceiling attic, you can choose not to use a fixed bracket. Put the fan into the open hole, insert the bracket into the guide groove of the fan, extend the bracket to both sides and then fix it with screws. The two ends of the bracket can be fixed without locking screws. The purpose of the bracket unfolding is to ensure the safe operation of the fan. Please refer to previous steps for other installation details.
