Installation Guide

6. Terminate the Cable at the Blower - Remote
Route the Power Cable
Route 18 AWG or equivalent power cable (two conductors with ground) between the bath and
blower. Support and protect the cable. Follow local electrical codes.
Prepare the Blower for Remote Installation
Remove and retain the access cover screw from the back of the blower motor. As you are loosening
the screw, check periodically if the cover can be slid back on the electrical cable.
IMPORTANT! It is critical that the same wire combinations be maintained.
Mark the wires so they can be reconnected exactly the same.
When the cover is loose, use electrician pliers or equivalent to cut the electrical cable at the crimped
terminals.
Pull the free end of the electrical cord through the cover, insert, and strain relief nut.
Discard the existing strain relief nut and insert.
Reconnect the blower motor plug to the control.
Install a standard NPT threaded strain relief to the blower motor cover.
Connect the New Power Cable at the Blower Motor
Using a wire nut, cap off the unused brown conductor in the cable jacket.
USA: Mark the white conductors with red or black tape as required by the National Electric Code.
Route the new power cable leads through the blower motor access cover and strain relief.
Using wire nuts or other approved termination methods, terminate the conductors as follows:
•
Connect the black and white wires to the L1 conductor of the power cable.
•
Connect the tan and white wires to the L2 or N conductor of the power cable.
•
Connect the green with yellow stripe pigtail lead to the power cable ground conductor.
Reinstall the access cover on the blower motor using the screw previously removed.
Tighten the strain relief on the power cable at the blower motor.
Remove any dust or debris from the blower motor area.
Strain Relief
Remove screw, remove cover,
and cut existing cable about 4"
(102 mm) from the blower motor.
