This document provides installation and operation instructions for the Furrion 14" 12V Vent Fan. Before starting, ensure you have a 14" x 14" roof opening and a 12V DC power source. Safety Warning: Always disconnect the main vehicle power before connecting the fan. Do not use solvent-based sealants as they can damage the plastic flange.
Installation
The fan can be installed in an existing roof vent opening or a new opening. Ensure the opening is 14" x 14" (356mm x 356mm). If the roof thickness is less than 2", build up the thickness using wood or suitable material.
- Roof Preparation: Remove the old vent and all old caulking compound for at least 2" around the opening.
- Sealing: Apply a continuous strip of butyl tape to the bottom surface of the flange, ensuring screw holes are covered.
- Mounting: Position the fan with the lid hinge facing the front of the vehicle. Secure it to the roof using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
- Sealing the Exterior: Apply a bead of sealant around the outside edge of the flange and over every exposed screw head.
Electrical Requirements
The fan requires a minimum 12V / 5A service. Connect the 16-gauge power wires to the vehicle's 12V power source:
- Red wire: 12V (+) connection.
- Black wire: Ground (-) connection.
Operation
The vent fan can be operated in three ways:
- Manual Operation: If power is unavailable, pull the knob to unlock it, then rotate it to open or close the lid. Push the knob back in to lock it.
- Keypad Operation: Use the buttons on the fan unit to turn the fan on/off, adjust speed, change airflow direction (intake/exhaust), and activate the rain sensor (long press for 3 seconds).
- Remote Control: Provides full control including fan speed adjustment, rain sensor toggle, and lid operation.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning: Always turn the fan off and disconnect 12V power before cleaning. Do not operate the fan without the insect screen.
- Clean components using only mild soap and water.
- Do not use caustic or solvent-based chemicals, as these can cause cracking and product failure.
- To remove the insect screen, rotate it counterclockwise until the tabs align with the notches, then lift to remove.
