Typical Installation Practices

The Greenheck SP-AP0511W and SP-AP0511WL are ceiling exhaust fans designed for clean air applications where low sound levels are required. These fans are suitable for general ventilating use only and should not be used to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors, nor in cooking areas. They are ETL listed for tub and shower enclosures, provided they are installed over a tub or shower and connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected branch circuit. The fans are not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

Technical Specifications:

Power Supply: AC 120V, 60Hz.
Operating Temperature: Do not install where interior room temperature may exceed 104°F (40°C).
Duct Adaptor: Can accept 4, 5, or 6 inch (101.6, 127, or 152.4 mm) circular duct.
Joist Spacing:
- 12 inches (305 mm) on center.
- 16 to 24 inches (406 to 610 mm) on center (requires suspension bracket assembly).
Ceiling Hole Alignment: 10-3/8 inches (265 mm) by 10-3/8 inches (265 mm).

Function Description:

The fans are equipped with a flow selection switch, multi-speed dial, time delay dial, and air trimming dial, allowing for customizable ventilation.

Flow Selection: A switch to choose default high speeds of 50, 80, or 110 cfm.
Multi-Speed: Allows the fan to run continuously at a user-selected low speed. For example, if the flow selection is 110 cfm, the multi-speed can be set to 0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or 90 cfm.
Time Delay: Sets the duration (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes) for the fan to return to low speed after a high-speed input is completed.
Air Trimming: Allows adjustment of the airflow up to 70 cfm, impacting both high and low speeds.

Usage Features:

The fans offer "Plug and Play" accessory compatibility, allowing for enhanced functionality. A maximum of three accessories can be used simultaneously.

Humidity Sensor Module (Part No. 386691): Runs or boosts to high speed when humidity exceeds a user-selected set point (30%-80%). Returns to low speed after a time delay or when humidity drops below the set point. Installs in Position B.
CO2 Sensor Module (Part No. 386693): Detects environmental CO2 concentration after 2 minutes of fan operation. Runs or boosts to high speed when CO2 exceeds 1000 ppm. Returns to low speed after a time delay or when CO2 drops below 800 ppm. Installs in Position A.
Motion Sensor Module (Part No. 386690): Runs or boosts to high speed when motion is detected. Returns to low speed after a time delay or when no motion is detected within its 10 ft height and 90° field of view range. Installs in Position D.
Night Light Module (Part No. 386692): Automatically turns on when the environment is dark and off when it is well lit. Installs in Position C.
LED Light (Part No. 483965) / LED Light Receptacle (Part No. 483953): Available with the SP-AP0511WL model, includes a night light function.

Installation:

Installation requires adherence to all local electrical and safety codes, including NEC, NFPA, and CEC (in Canada). Always disconnect power before working on the fan.

New Construction:
- For 12-inch on-center joists, the fan frame is secured directly to the joists with four screws.
- For 16 to 24-inch on-center joists, a suspension bracket assembly (Part No. 484916) is used. The bracket is unfolded, attached to joists with self-tapping screws, and adjusted to length.
- The adaptor is installed on the bracket assembly with two self-tapping screws.
- The fan body is pushed upwards to engage a buckle on the adaptor and secured with three self-tapping screws.
- Circular ducting is installed and sealed with clamps or ties and mastic/approved duct tape.
- The knockout plate is removed, conduit/stress relief secured, and power wires connected using UL-approved connectors and wire nuts. The knockout plate is then reattached.
- After ceiling work, the gap between the flange and ceiling should be filled with caulk or sealant to prevent air leakage.
- The grille is mounted by inserting its springs into slots on the fan body.
- For models with light (SP-AP0511WL), the grille mounting spring on the wiring side is inserted, the plug into the receptacle, and the other mounting spring into its slot. Care must be taken to avoid pinching light wiring.
- For grilles with modules, the USB connector is inserted into the appropriate USB receptacle (refer to page 4 for port configuration), and the grille is mounted, avoiding pinching module wires.
Retrofit Installation:
- The collapsed bracket is inserted into the ceiling from the room side.
- Steps for bracket installation from new construction (page 5-6) are followed.
- Circular ducting is installed and sealed.
- The knockout plate is removed, conduit/stress relief secured, and power wires connected.
- The fan body is pushed upwards until the mounting flange is flush with the joist and secured with three self-tapping screws.
- Step 8 of new construction installation (page 7) is followed to complete.

Maintenance Features:

Routine maintenance should be performed annually. Always disconnect power before servicing.

Cleaning Grille: Remove the grille by squeezing the mounting springs and pulling down. Clean with non-abrasive kitchen detergent and wipe dry. Do not soak in hot water (over 140°F/60°C).
Cleaning Fan Body: Remove dust and dirt from the fan body using a vacuum cleaner. Then, wipe with a cloth dampened with kitchen detergent and dry with a clean cloth.
Prohibited Cleaning Agents: Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or other harsh chemicals.
Motor Care: Do not immerse the motor in water.
