What the HV whole house cooling fans do  
The HV is used to assist the natural cooling process in the house. When the  
outside temperature drops below the inside temperature, the cooler outside air  
can be used to cool the house. The HV will pull the cooler air from the outside,  
through the house, up into the attic and push the hot air outside. The HV is a fan  
product and will not cool the house below the outside air temperature or create  
a noticeable breeze. The HV can be used any time, for as long as needed, to  
cool or change the air in the house.  
The best location for your HV  
The HV should be located as central as possible to the area that you want to  
cool. Above a central hallway or at the top of a stairwell provide the best airflow.  
The fan can also be mounted vertically, exhausting through a knee wall into an  
HV1000  
under-the-eaves attic space. Cooler outside air should be able to move through the window, the space that needs to be  
cooled, and exhaust out through the fan into the attic.  
Warning: Not to be used over cooking appliances.  
Before installing your HV: Read all instructions carefully  
Some state and local electrical codes require fan products be installed by a licensed electrician. Check with your local  
code officials before installation.  
Make sure that you have adequate net free exhaust area out of your attic. A minimum of 2 square feet is required for  
the HV1000 and 3-1/2 square feet for the HV1600. This can be accomplished with a combination of roof, ridge, soffit or  
gable end vents or other attic exhaust points.  
Make sure that there is enough clearance for the doors to open. Minimum requirement for the HV with R22 insulating  
doors (HV1000 and HV1600-GR) is 11” and 12” for models with R38 insulating doors (HV1000-DB and HV1600-GDR).  
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 face an unoccupied area.

Wiring  
Important - Because of the motorized doors, wiring the HV is different than a normal ON/OFF fan. Please follow the  
instructions carefully. Be sure to turn off power before wiring the HV Whole House Fan It is recommended that the  
wiring of the HV be done by a licensed electrician.  
The HV requires a constant source of power. Because the doors are motorized, they need power to open and power to  
close. The fan operation is controlled internally.  
HV1000  
HV1600  
There are three wires in the electrical box:  
WHITE, RED, and BLACK.  
The HV1600 is connected to power through the line cord  
and must be plugged into a constant, grounded power  
source. When connected to power, it will be fully functional  
with the hand held remote control unit. When any of the  
buttons on the remote control are pushed, the red indicator  
light should momentarily flash.  
Connect the WHITE wire to Line Neutral  
Connect the RED wire to Line Hot  
Connect the BLACK wire to a Switched Hot Feed  
When 115 VAC Hot is applied to it, the doors will  
open. When 115 VAC Hot is removed, the doors will  
close.  
Optional Controls:  
• Connect the ground wire to the screw in the electrical  
box  
Hardwiring the unit to wall switches using the BLUE and  
YELLOW wires will provide additional, manual control. The  
BLUE wire will provide on/off control and the YELLOW wire  
will provide high or low speed control. Using a switch in the  
ON position will override the remote control function.  
Use only SPST (single pole, single throw) switches.

A Remote Control Kit for the HV1000 is available and may be purchased separately. Installation is quick and easy  
and it may be installed at any time.  
Care  
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 batteries may need replacing. The transmitter uses two type CR2016 3V  
coin cell batteries. Remove the back plate from the transmitter and remove the batteries. Following the markings above the battery  
holders, replace the batteries. Secure the back plate to the transmitter.
