Spot and Continuous Ventilation: These fans are designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy
environment at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. By utilizing the optional CustomVent Multi-Speed module
the fans are built to run continuously at a pre-set lower level (FV-05-11VKSL1 and FV-05-11VKL1: 0, 30,
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 CFM; FV-11-15VKL1: 0, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 CFM). The setting is
dependent on the size of the house and the individual wishes of the homeowner. It is crucial that the
installer pre-set the lower setting during the installation. Please refer to the chart below and the
switch indication on page 6.

These fans are also built to take care of the homeowner’s spot ventilation needs when the room is
occupied. The basic fan models allow a choice of three speeds. When fans are equipped with the optional
Multi-Speed module, these models kick up to a maximum level of 150 CFM for the FV-11-15VKL1 and 110
CFM for the FV-05-11VKSL1 and FV-05-11VKL1 either when the switch is turned on or activated by the
optional Condensation Sensor module or the optional Motion Sensor module.
A High/Low Delay Timer, located inside the fan unit, is utilized to return the fan back to the pre-set
Continuous ventilation mode. The installer needs to consult with the homeowner for the desired
setting on the timer (0 - 60 minutes) and make the adjustments during the installation.

DESCRIPTION
These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is
designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy.
The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter
flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving LED lighting device that uses two 7W LED lamps and produces almost
the same illumination as a standard 60W incandescent lamp.

FEATURE
[For models of: FV-05-11VKSL1, FV-05-11VKL1, FV-11-15VKL1.]
The WhisperGreen Select Line of ventilation fans employs innovative, state-of-the-art technologies that
provide a number of customizable unique features that lead to improved indoor air quality. Please
read the installation manual first in order to realize the benefits of this customizable, modular fan.
Optimum Ventilation Performance:
Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most
ventilation fans. This fan utilizes SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the
system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within
the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues.
Outstanding Energy Savings:
The WhisperGreen Select Line of fans are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30% - 70%
more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements.

Pick-A-Flow
switch

All the WhisperGreen Select base models of fans come with Pick-A-Flow
speed options. The Pick-A-Flow switch on the face of all WhisperGreen
Select fans allows the option to choose 50 – 80 – 110 CFM for the
FV-05-11VKL1, FV-05-11VKSL1 or 110 – 130 – 150 CFM for the
FV-11-15VKL1. These fans can run continuously or intermittently,
depending upon the needs of the owner.

Note that there is ONLY ONE
Plug ‘N Play slot to insert the
Multi-Speed module within the
base model fan. There are TWO
interchangeable Plug ‘N Play
slots to insert the Condensation
Sensor module, Motion Sensor
module or Nite-GloTM LED Night
Light module within the base
model fan.

FV-VS15VK1 Multi-Speed module allows the fan to run continuously
at lower speeds to maintain ventilation standards to meet Indoor
Air Quality and then boost up to high speed to meet intermittent
needs for ‘Spot’ or ‘Point Source’ exhaust needs. The FV-VS15VK1
Modular Component will operate for both the FV-05-11VKL1 and the
FV-11-15VKL1 matching the appropriate Multi-Speed setting shown
below. The FV-05-11VKSL1 comes with the FV-VS15VK1 Multi-Speed
module. It is not necessary to purchase this component.
Note the options on the face of the FV-VS15VK1 Multi-Speed module
to choose appropriate levels of airflow (CFM) and time delay before
returning back to low speed (TIME). Choosing the Pick-A-Flow setting
automatically adjusts the Multi-Speed setting accordingly. As an
example, if the Pick-A-Flow Multi-speed setting is 80 CFM, the
Multi-Speed settings adjust automatically to be 0, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70
CFM at the lower speeds. The fan will ‘boost’ to the 80 CFM speed as
the high speed setting. Selecting a particular TIME option will cause
the fan to run for the selected amount of time before returning to
the lower speed setting chosen on the CFM dial.

FV-CSVK1 Condensation Sensor module turns the base fan on or
boosts to higher speed when humidity is detected when used in
combination with the FV-VS15VK1. The Condensation Sensor works
based on calculations from the Psychrometric Chart, or combination
of Relative Humidity (RH) and Temperature. This allows the fan to
anticipate the formation of condensation and automatically turn on
when needed to expel humid air. The Condensation Sensor is pre-set
to run for 20 minutes; it will then check the RH and Temperature to
detect if the fan needs to run for another 20 minutes cycle.
FV-MSVK1 Motion Sensor module turns the base fan on or boosts
to higher speed when motion is detected when using in combination
with the FV-VS15VK1. The Motion Sensor is pre-set to run for 20
minutes; it will then re-check for movement; if detected the fan will
run for another 20 minutes cycle. The Motion Sensor detects within
the range shown below.
The distance that motion
can be detected is limited
to 10 feet (3m). The field
of view of the sensor is 90°.
(Room temperature is 25 C).

FV-NLVK1 Nite-GloTM LED Night Light module automatically turns on
when ambient light levels are met. Turning the dial on the Modular
Nite-Glo Component to ‘DARK’ is ideal if the fan is in an isolated room
with little ambient light from nearby rooms. Turning the dial to
‘BRIGHT’ is ideal if there is light spill from nearby rooms. (Note that it is
necessary to connect wall switch when only plug in FV-NLVK1, fan can
operate on high speed with wall switch control, fan can also operate
on low speed when used in combination with the FV-VS15VK1.)

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to
minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.23)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Our fans and fan/light combination units do
not create excessive heat that is a common
problem with recessed light fixtures or some
competitor’s fan/light combination. Our
efficient, cool-running motors and our LED
lighting unit do not create enough ambient
heat to be subjected to these limitations.

4 inches or 6 inches roof jack, wall cap,
or soffit vent with backdraft damper
Mechanically connect duct to termination
and seal with mastic or approved foil
