I got even more confused after watching this video. In the end, I just wanted everything together and the whole light plus fan come on from a single switch. I wish I could separate the light and the fan, so the fan can quietly run with the lights off, but I just gave up
I just noticed a really nice detail while installing mine, they included a ferrite bead on the grounding wire in the junction box - which will help keep internally generated noise out of the house wiring, and externally generated noise out of the fan electronics!
I wish you'd stop this background music while speaking on such an important matter. We are not here to be entertained. . The background music is noisy, distracting and annoying. Just trying to be helpful.
Just installed this fan with the optional Night Light Module. The video does not cover the use of the Night Light Module, so I left the RED wires capped individually. Turning on the fan, the night light goes on, but the fan doesn't. That would suggest power is there, but some part of the circuit is incomplete. There are no instructions in the provided instruction sheet for using the Night Light Module. Would it be safe to assume that if I connected the two red wires, the fan would work? The Night Light Module is supposed to be automatic sensing so if its set to a bright environment it won't go on unless the room reaches a certain darkness level. I'd rather not have to snake wires down to a switch since I bought the module thinking it _was_ automatic as a night light and didn't have to be switched on and off. Hope somebody can clarify why the night light works and the fan doesn't and answers the question about the red wires. TIA-Mike
We're planning to purchase several bath fans and are considering the Panasonic-FV-0511VKS2. Can anyone tell me what the unit come with as a standard and what options are available to add on?
First wiring method as instructed, but when I flip the switch, nothing. Occasionally when I flip it back off the fan spins ever like a 1/16 of a turn like it got power for just a second?
Electrician here! Just put a damn wire diagram in/on the box. I don't want to spend time looking for a diagram. Go grab my personal phone. Download an app I won't use again. Then watch a video.
Timestamps:: Standard "spot" single pole switch: 1:52 Automatic motion sensor/ humidity condensation sensor: 3:09 Wall switch with extra modules: 3:42 PS Don't forget to set the fan speed based on the cubic feet per second on the fan itself.
Can you kindly clarify the 3rd wiring method. The two red wires gets connected to a Third Switch/Junction Box since it cannot have any power? If not where do I connect the two red wires in the Fan Switch Junction Box. Thanks.
In the 3rd video they are finding another power source in the attic to send constant power to the unit. Then they are using the existing wiring for the old fan to use as signal wires. You would tie those to the red wires in the fan junction box
I'm just looking for a way to wire a fan on and off with a switch and have the humidity sensor control the fan if the switch is off. Does panasonic make a fan like this with no light
panasonic whisper thin rg-t810ha Sounds like the model you’re looking for. My interpretation is to use the wall switch with the red wires and have the hot and neutral permanently connected in the box. A separate low voltage wire for the reds should be fine.
So it seems like everywhere. I search both Google and UA-cam and contacting all of my distributors who sell the Panasonic SV04 E1 fresh air ERV fan cannot give me any information on an available controller how to wire this damn thing nor can I find tech-support for Panasonic we had our electrician wire the fan in the ceiling just like a normal fan and then we ran a three wire control wire down to a box for a future control off of the fan using the three leads provided and I have yet to find a control for it. Please help!!
I connected the wires as per the 3rd wiring option with only the FV-CSVK module installed. Turning on the manual switch turns the fan on but when I turn the switch off the fan keeps running. Why is that?
I am retrofitting a bathroom that currently has a single light over the shower. I want to use the existing wiring for a combo fan / light. Can anyone explain why they recommend separate circuits for the fan and light even when operated together? Why not simply combine the 2 sets of black wires and 2 sets of white wires at the fans junction box?
+Michael Barlia - You can do that. It's wiring method #1 in the video with the light tied in. The light is independent of the fan, so you need switched power to turn it on/off. I suppose they could have made it possible to tie the light into the controller so the red "signal" wires would turn it on, but they didn't. Wouldn't help you anyway. if you are retrofitting an install that just has switched power and you don't want to run more wire, your only option is tying all the blacks and all the whites together, and leave the reds alone.
I just installed one of these, replacing an old fan/light combo that was undersized for the room. I was wiring the simplest method... one switch running a black/white/ground line up to the fan. I wired the 2 white lines from the fan to the white wire of my home, the two black wires from the fan to the black wire of my home and the green wire to the ground of my home (bare copper wire). I capped off the 2 red wires from the fan (not using any of the fancy stuff) and the switch now turns on the light and the fan together (well... the fan comes on after a 30 second delay. Why, I'm not sure, but it is as designed per the reviews on Amazon). It is VERY quiet (quieter than the smaller, lower flow fan it replaced) and the LED lights are very bright.
I have the same install. Did you cap off the two red wires together or separately? I have them capped off separately now and the light will come on, but the fan does not come on.
With the wires capped separately you are effectively toggling between OFF and "Sensor" mode for the fan. The delay is the time it takes for the sensors to power up and start actively monitoring. If you want to have the fan run anytime the switch is on, bypassing the sensors, then either remove the sensor modules or jumper the two red wires.
With a recent reply to this long lost thread, I thought I'd post an update. The fan is now 4 years old per UA-cam (makes sense at we have been in the home about 4.5 years) and this fan is still SUPER quiet and functions well. If I replace other fans in the house, I'll be doing it w/ these. SO much nicer than the average builder-grade bathroom fan. I've actually grown to like the fan delay of 30 seconds as it lets me pop into the bathroom to grab something quickly without spooling up the fan every single time.
I have the FV-05-11VKSL1. I want the light on its own switch, and I want the fan to run for the time delay after turning the light off. Is this possible and what wiring do I need? My old fan and light were on separate circuits, so I do have 2 switches available for each the light and fan.
Sounds like some custom work is needed there thatd probably be out of code and void your warranty since youd have to bypass shit and cross circuits good luck
FYI, continuous run module is universally hated. Customers hate it. I explain it. They understand the benefit. They say yes. I come back 2 weeks later and switch it back to a simple on/off. Sound sensitivity is a thing.
This video captures very important information at the tail end of the 3m30s to 4m43s section that is unfortunately missing from the installation manual, regarding how the unit operates when the "control switch" is in the on or off position. The control switch only causes the unit to be in "on" or "standby" mode, and cannot cause the unit to be "off" if the sensor built into the unit tells the unit to run. This is great news. The only way to force the unit into "off" mode, is to use the "service switch", which is likely to be the breaker. This important detail from this ~9 year old video should be clearly stated in the installation manual!
If we already have a Nutone LPN 80 LoProfile Bathroom Fan installed, can it be easily replaced with a Panasonic FV-0810VSS1 Fan? What would be the labor involved? Thanks!

@@stevechristensen2351 hopefully you can help: I want method 3, using a wall switch where 'On' switches the fan to run the selected CFM and 'Off' switches the fan to use the condensation sensor module to automatically run the fan if/when humidity is high. I ALSO want to be able to cut power off to the fan entirely in seasons where the fan is unnecessary (if unoccupied, or when it's warm we open windows etc). I'd like to have this ability near the unit, rather than flipping a breaker. I think we were looking for the same thing. Did you accomplish this with a second switch? Or?
Confusing video and explanation. I want one switch for the light, one for the fan, one for the nigh light and one for the control with the red wires. I am using two doble switches for my two gang box and I am running two sets of three-wire from the switch box to the fan, I mma use one white wire for the neutral and the other one as a return to the night light.
Maybe I am missing something... On the third wiring method, there are two red wires that come along with the power supply wires (bulk/why/Cu). I missed where you may have mentioned where these two red wires coming from. Those that connect to the two red wires of the fan? Please advise! Thank you.
You still being power from panel 12/2 or 14/2 whichever awg your using. Then from the switch you run a 12/2/2 or 14/2/2 wire to the fan that will have an extra white/red stripes and a solid red wire. The power black/white/green bypass the switch and wire up sight to the fan the solid red and white with red stripes goes on the switch, no particular order. And on the fan side also the two extra wires will wire up to the to Red signal wires in no particular order.
CFM SWITCH NOT WORKING - Anyone from Panasonic Support monitoring these comments? My Panasonic FV-0511VQC1 fan was recently installed and the CFM selector does not work. It's stuck on the fastest (110CFM) speed, regardless of what I set the CFM selector to. Is this potentially just a wiring problem? Or a CFM module that can be swapped out under warranty without removing and replacing the entire fan assembly? I have sent a message to Panasonic support from their website form and have received no response. I can't find a support phone number to connect with a human agent to help me. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated... If I can just buy the CFM selection module myself and DIY it, I would be willing to do that too... Thanks!
Holy hell just print a wiring diagram on the unit! As an electrical contractor, I'll never buy this fan again. I don't have time to waste, let alone my guys, to walk around with the cover trying to get phone service so they can scan the damn QR just to watch a UA-cam video!
Hi, I just watched your video in the youtube on how the Panasonic bathroom fan works. However, i still have a problem; when I turn the switch ON, the Fan does not run until 17 seconds with the timer and CFM in zero position. any idea why I am having a delay On the start. Can you also send me the Manual. I am not sure do I have an electrical issue or this is how its works.
Because you aren't turning the fan on -- you're turning on the sensors, which then decide if/when to run the fan. You need the power the fan directly, then switch on the red wire.
in video for wiring fan with light using a double pole single switch, it only shows connecting one of the red wires, what happens to the second red wire?
Jarad Earley I'll preface this response with I'm Not An Electrician. That said, he said to use a Double Pole Single Throw switch, which is two separate circuits controlled by a single mechanism (here, a toggle switch). Each side is effectively it's own circuit. That said, you'd bring the two red wires to one side of the switch and the line wires for the light to the other. I don't actually own this vent yet, I'm just doing research. But that's what I can deduce from the wiring diagrams. The red wires are not to carry any current.
If you're pairing the humidity sensor with a variable speed module, you wire utility power unswitched to the fan and run the red wires to a switch. The fan will always have power in case it needs to start because of humidity. The switch operates a manual override. If the humidity is low and the switch is off, the fan won't spin (if variable speed set to 0 or no variable speed -- it will spin on lower speeds if variable speed set). Best bet is to wire it all up with a lampcord and verify everything works as you want. People have different preferences it's just a matter of doing what you want. He goes through every possibility in the video. Just find the scenario you want and follow what he says.
When you get to the point of understanding the purpose of the signal wires, and decide you’d like to set up your fan using them, you still may be a bit confused about how to make that happen. I think it’s funny they rather glossed over this point. Note, their installation uses a conduit through which any combination of wires may be pulled, given sizing restrictions of course. Most of us will be running Romex, or shielded cable. there is no example of these that comes with two red wires. You may purchase 4-wire Romex, which has a red and blue wire, and those can be used to complete the signal circuit at a standard single pole switch. You could also pull 2 x 2-wire Romex. Since it is clear that the signal wire’s purpose is simply to prove continuity, I’m not concerned about wire size. For my part, I’ll pull a separate low-voltage wire (cat 5e) and place a cardboard divider in the junction box to mimic NEC requirements regarding mixing low-voltage in line voltage wires.
Please, Panasonic, just print a simple wiring diagram instead of sending me to fascist UA-cam. I will understand the diagram in milliseconds whereas the video took me 2:32 to get to what I needed. That's time I can't get back.
Crap!!! They carefully explain the simplest wirings, and gloss over the complicated one we have. WTH???!!! I waited on hold for 45 minutes while a DB kept telling me how important my call was, while making me listen to cheap porno music. I was worried I'd succumb to the porno music and a fat, gravelly voice would interrupt my pure thoughts. One shitty bumfungle after another. 1/5 stars. 1 for the product and -4 for customer service.
They better not start doing this stupid QR bull. I’m a paper wire diagram guy. This guy just told me what to do. I’m the only one that tells me what to do. So I hooked the white to the black.
Panasonic makes some great products, but their user manuals are the worst. One or more people need to be fired and publicly shamed for their incompetence.
Putting a schematic on the product would have saved me a lot of time.

40 years as a General Contractor in Calif, doing hundreds of 110, and 220v modifications with Building Permits, this video is horrible.

GET A LINE DIAGRAM!!! HOLY HELL MAN!!!!
