American Aldes RDF 8-8IP ユーザーズマニュアル

A.  Installation Work and Electrical 

Wiring Must Be Done By Qualifi ed 
Person(s) In Accordance With All 
Applicable Codes And Standards, 
Including Fire-Rated Construction.

B. Suffi cient air is needed for proper 

combustion and exhausting of 
gases through the fl ue (chimney) of 
fuel burning equipment to prevent 
back drafting. 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.

C.  When cutting or drilling into wall or 

ceiling, do not damage electrical 
wiring and other hidden utilities.

D.  When used as exhaust fans,  

ducted fans must always be vented 
to the outdoors.

E.  If this unit is to be installed over a 

tub or shower, it must be marked as 
appropriate for the application and be 
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault 
Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch 
circuit.

anchors are recommended.  The rubber 
grommets provide vibration isolation.

The brackets should be attached to the 
fan fi rst.  Then install the wood screws at 
the keyhole locations and install the fan.

The fan may also  be mounted on a foam 
rubber pad on a fl at surface, such as an 
attic fl oor.

COLD CLIMATE PRECAUTIONS 
If installed in an unheated space, in 
cold climates, there is a possibility 

of condensation forming in the fan 
housing or ducting components.  A 
backdraft damper installed  at  each 
grille is very effective in reducing the 
potential for condensation when the fan 
is cycled on and off.   Insulated ducting 
must be used where exposed to cold 
attic or crawl space temperatures, to 
avoid condensation in the ducting. 
Condensation can also be avoided by 
continuous operation of the fan.

DUCT CONNECTIONS
Ducting may be fl exible or rigid, 

depending on local codes.  If permitted 
by code, insulated fl exible ducting is 
recommended  for at least several feet on 
each duct connection, to limit fan noise at 
the outlet grilles.  Ducting should conform 
to NFPA 90A and meet the requirements 
of Underwriters Laboratory as a Class O 
or Class 1 duct to specifi cation UL 181, 
Standard for Factory-Made Air Ducts and 
Duct Connectors.  Metal ducting must 
be sealed on both the end joints and 
longitudinal seams to avoid duct leakage 
and assure proper airfl ows at the grilles.

MAINTENANCE
Monthly:
Inspect and clean the exhaust grilles and 
fi lters, if so equipped.
Annually:
To ensure the maximum effi ciency of 
the fan unit, is recommended to clean 
the inside of the fan box as well as the 
blower wheel.

CAUTION:
Automatically operated device—to 
reduce risk of injury disconnect from the 
power supply before servicing.

DISASSEMBLY
Turn off all power to the unit.  The blower 

Provide disconnect switch in vicinity of fan, to 
permit servicing fan, in accordance with NEC 
and local codes.

Depending on the desired mode of operation, 
switches may be simple on-off switches, 
motor speed controls, timer switches, time 
delay, time of day cycle timers, dehumidistats, 

F.  NEVER place a switch where it can 

be reached from a tub or shower.

occupancy sensing controls, controllers, 
etc., provided they are rated for motor duty 
and meet the nameplate electrical ratings 
of the motor.  (Additional application wiring 
diagrams are available illustrating a variety 
of controls for use with RDF fans by calling 
the factory at 1-800-255-7749.)
