The QuietCool Attic Fans are the best in the business.
1.4 System Venting Requirements VERY IMPORTANT! - 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM RECOMMENDED! - 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of 1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively.
2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Installing AFG (Attic Fan Gable) model fans Installation Video: Watch the video by scanning the QR code or visit www. QuietCoolSystems.com/ support NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing vents. If no vent exists, one must be installed. Vent should be installed in the upper center section of the gable. NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE AFG SMT-3.0, PLEASE READ SECTION 2.3 BEFORE INSTALLING. Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy.
NOTE: The AFG can be mounted on many other types of louvers, including triangle vents, round vents, half-round vents, etc. If the vent is smaller than the area of the fan, we recommend constructing a chamber that surrounds the vent, and then mount the AFG to the chamber to ensure maximum airflow and performance. 2.
3. WIRING NOTE: Wiring Diagrams are for examples ONLY. Wiring should be done by an experienced electrician. NOTE: Your fan may have come with the thermostat pre-wired to a power cord. If this is the case, simply mount the thermostat or junction box, find a power source in your attic, and plug the fan in.

4. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 QuietCool Smart Attic Fan (AFG SMT-3.0) QuietCool Attic Fans work almost everywhere, anytime. During the summer, an attic can be 40-50 degrees hotter than the outside temperature, which in turn heats up the house much faster. With an attic fan, you can cool the attic to the same temperature as it is outside, greatly reducing the house from heating as quickly. With the QuietCool Smart Attic Fan, gone are the days of having to adjust the thermostat for your attic fan.
