WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
1.Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or
telephone number listed in the warranty. 2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switching on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. 3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a licensed person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards. 4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdraft. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. 5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. 6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. 7. Acceptable for use over a tub or
shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only). 8. This unit
must be grounded. 9. Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower. 10. Not for use in kitchens. This unit may
be installed in a wall for a non- wet application. 11. Install fan at least 2.5 m (8 feet) above the floor. 12 WARNING: To reduce the risk
of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device. 13. The fan must not be installed in a ceiling
thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.
CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. This product is designed for installation in ceilings up to a 12/12 pitch (45 degree angle). Duct connector must point up for wall
application.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall and construction dust off power unit.
4. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appearance, lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the
dusting brush attachment.
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling.
OPERATION
See “Connect Wiring” for details. (AP90/120-SL)
The humidity control and fan and light can be operated separately. Do not use a dimmer switch to operate the humidity control or
light. See “Connect Wiring” for details. (AP90/120H-SL)
Humidity Sensor For AP90/120H-SL
SENSOR OPERATION
The humidity-sensing fan uses a sophisticated humidity sensor that responds to: (a) rapid to moderate (user-adjustable)
increases in humidity or (b) humidity above a user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% relative humidity). The humidity sensor
may occasionally turn the fan ON when environmental conditions change. If the fan continuously responds to changing
environmental conditions, “H” (means “humidity”) adjustment may be required. This figure is factory-set for about 75% RH.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The “H” has been factory set for most shower applications. However, if the fan is in a tub area or is being used for dampness
control, the “H” may need to be increased toward maximum “+”. If the control is responding too often to changing
environmental conditions, movement toward less “-” “H” may be required.
To adjust the “H”:
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Through the grille, locate the slot marked “H”.
3. Carefully rotate the “H” adjustment toward “+” or “-”.
4. Turn on power and check operation by turning on the shower or other humidity source until the fan turns on.
5. Repeat above steps if necessary.
When the temperature changes, humidity sensor values will have deviation.
TIMER ADJUSTMENT
The humidity sensing fan has a “T” (means timer) that can be adjusted from 5 to 60 minutes (factory-set at about 20 minutes).
This “T” controls the length of time that the fan remains ON after the sensor has stopped sensing a rise in humidity
and the humidity level is below the user-adjustable set-point. To adjust the “T”:
1. Disconnect power at service entrance;
2. Through the grille, locate the slot marked “T”;
3. Carefully rotate the “T” adjustment to desired setting (from 5 to 60 minutes).
4. Check operation by turning on a humidity source until the fan turns on.
5. Turn humidity source off and time the unit.
6. Repeat above steps if necessary.

Overview

This document describes the Aero Pure Ventilation Fan, models AP90-SL, AP90H-SL, AP120-SL, and AP120H-SL.

Function Description:

The Aero Pure Ventilation Fan is designed for general ventilating use, primarily in bathrooms. It helps to exhaust air, control humidity, and prevent backdraft when properly installed. The "H" models (AP90H-SL, AP120H-SL) include a sophisticated humidity sensor and a timer function, allowing for automatic operation based on environmental humidity levels. The fan is suitable for installation in ceilings up to a 12/12 pitch (45-degree angle) and can also be installed in a wall for non-wet applications. It is acceptable for use over a tub or shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only).

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Models: AP90-SL, AP90H-SL, AP120-SL, AP120H-SL.
  • Power Supply: 120V AC.
  • Installation: Designed for ceilings up to a 12/12 pitch (45-degree angle). Wall installation is possible for non-wet applications.
  • Minimum Installation Height: Must be installed at least 2.5 m (8 feet) above the floor.
  • Ductwork: Requires round ductwork, vented to the outdoors. Insulated flexible duct is recommended for quietest operation.
  • Humidity Sensor (H-models): Responds to rapid to moderate increases in humidity or humidity above a user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% relative humidity). Factory-set for approximately 75% RH.
  • Timer (H-models): Adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes, factory-set at about 20 minutes.
  • Grounding: The unit must be grounded.
  • Insulation: Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.
  • Speed Control: Not to be used with any solid-state speed control device.

Usage Features:
