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

Loosen the cable strain-relief nut on the blower motor. Push the nut back on the cable to provide

clearance for the cover removal.

Remove and retain the two access cover screws from the back of the blower motor. As you are

loosening the screws, check periodically if the cover can be slid back on the electrical cable.

When the cover is loose, use electrician pliers or equivalent to cut the electrical cable at a point

about 4” (102 mm) from where the cable enters into the blower motor housing.

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

On the 4″ (102 mm) pigtail lead of the blower motor, strip back the cable jacket about 3″ (76 mm).

On the customer-supplied power cable, strip back the cable jacket about 2″ (51 mm).

USA: Mark white conductors with red or black tape as required by the National Electric Code.

Strip the wire insulation 3/8″ (10 mm) from the blower motor pigtail and power cable leads.

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 pigtail lead to the L1 conductor of the power cable.

•

Connect the blue pigtail lead to the L2 or N conductor of the power cable.

•

Connect the green with yellow stripe pigtail lead to the power cable ground conductor.

With the two screws, reinstall the access cover on the blower motor.

Tighten the strain relief on the power cable at the blower motor.

Remove any dust or debris from the blower motor area.
