The Best Location for your HV: The HV should be installed in your attic in a central location within your home.
Above a central hallway or at the top of a stairwell will provide the best airflow. The fan can be mounted vertically.
► Make sure that there aren’t any pipes, wires, rafters or air conditioning or heating ducts running through the space
where the HV will be installed and that the doors will open into an unoccupied area.
► Make sure that you have adequate exhaust area out of your attic. This can be accomplished with a combination
of roof, ridge or gable end vents. The HV1000 requires a minimum of 3 square feet and the HV1600
requires 5 square feet of attic exhaust area.
►Make sure that there is adequate clearance above the fan for the doors to open. The minimum requirement is 12”.
►
If your home has an engineered roofing system, care should be taken that the HV will fit within the truss layout.

Wiring
Important - Wiring the HV is different than a normal ON/OFF fan. Because the doors are motorized, they
need power to open and power to close. The HV requires a constant source of power. The fan operation is
controlled internally. Please follow the instructions carefully. It is recommended that the wiring of the HV be
done by a licensed electrician.
Be sure to turn off power before wiring the HV Whole House Fan
HV1000
HV1600 (Optional Wiring)
The HV whole house cooling fans are not
for use with solid state speed controls
Hardwiring the unit to wall switches using the
BLUE and YELLOW wires will provide addi-
tional, manual control. Using these switches
will override the remote control function.
Operating your HV
Important - Be sure at least one window is open when the fan is operating.
HV1000 - The HV1000 is operated by the wall switch (not included) installed per the
wiring instructions. An optional remote control kit is available (Part# TTi-HVRC).
HV1600 - The HV1600 is controlled by the hand held remote transmitter. Additional
controls, when used, may override the remote control. See the Wiring section of this
manual for further details.

All the motors in the HV are permanently sealed and do not require oiling. To keep dirt, dust
and debris from the fans we recommend that you periodically remove the grille from within
the living space and dust the fan blades. Please remember to make sure that the fan
is OFF before dusting the fan blades.
Troubleshooting
HV1000: The most common problem with the HV1000 is caused by incorrect wiring. Before
you check anything else make sure: WHITE wire in HV1000 is connected to 115 VAC Line
Neutral; RED wire in HV1000 is connected to 115 VAC Line Hot (Constant Hot Feed); BLACK
wire in HV1000 is connected to a switch that will make it hot when the switch is closed.
HV1600: If the wireless remote fails to activate the fan, the battery may need replacing.
The transmitter uses a type A23/12V battery. Remove the back plate from the transmitter
and remove the battery. Following the markings, replace the battery. Secure the back
plate to the transmitter.
