Getting Started
The Breeze Mate™solar ventilation system is designed for
easy installation and configuration. However, if you require
assistance, Attic Breeze is here to help.

The Breeze Mate™CS-10A and CS-11A control
systems are designed for use with Attic Breeze
model solar attic fans featuring a unit mounted
solar panel. If your Attic Breeze fan features a
remote mounted solar panel, the CS-10D or CS-11D
control system is appropriate for your installation.
Contact Attic Breeze customer support for more
information or consult your local Attic Breeze dealer
for additional assistance.

Begin by locating the WH-10A Communication Cable
included with your control system. The WH-10A cable
features a 4-plug connector on one end of the cable,
designed to connect with your Attic Breeze model fan.
►
FC-10A Installation
Next, locate the 4-plug connector power cable on your
Attic Breeze fan. The power cable should be hanging
freely from the bottom of the fan. If necessary, unplug
any thermal switch connector or other connectors
previously installed with the power cable. Plug the
WH-10A Communication Cable into the fan’s power
cable and route the WH-10A cable to the location
where the FC-10A Fan Controller will be installed.
Secure the WH-10A Communication Cable as needed.
►
Older model Attic Breeze fans are not designed
with a 4-plug connector power cable and cannot
be used with the Breeze Mate™CS-10A/CS-11A
control systems. A retrofit kit is available from Attic
Breeze that may be installed to convert your older
model fan for use with the new Breeze Mate™wiring
configuration. Contact Attic Breeze customer support
for more information or consult your local Attic Breeze
dealer for additional assistance.
!
The FC-10A Fan Controller should be installed within
roughly 8-9 feet of your Attic Breeze fan. Choose an
unrestricted, open location that allows the controller
proper access for monitoring of attic air conditions.
Using the included #8 wood screws, mount the
FC-10A Fan Controller on a vertical framing member
or wall mounting surface. The controller should be
mounted with the Fusible Link Safety Switch [16] vent
facing downward, toward the attic floor. Do not over
tighten the mounting screws during installation.
►

Locate the Plug Connector [17] on the FC-10A Fan
Controller labeled Power In and connect it with the
2-plug connector on the WH-10A Communication
Cable with the same label. Repeat process with the
2-plug connectors labeled Power Out.
►
If the solar panel on your Attic Breeze fan is
exposed to sunlight, the Solar Panel Power LED
Indicator [15] on the FC-10A Fan Controller will be
illuminated. If the LED indicator is not illuminated,
verify that the plug connectors are properly matched
and secured.
!
Using the Network Channel Selector [20], assign the
next available wireless network channel address to the
FC-10A Fan Controller. If this is the first controller
installed, set the selector dial to channel one.
►
Each installed FC-10A Fan Controller must be
assigned a unique wireless network channel
address for proper operation.

With the MC-10A controller configured to the desired
settings, the display screen should now show the
current temperature and relative humidity for the fan
controller assigned to network channel one.
►
Temperature Display [1] and Humidity Display [12]
will show “- -” on the display screen whenever the
MC-10A Remote Interface Controller is not able to
establish communication with a fan controller on
the wireless network. This will normally occur when
there is not enough sunlight for fan operation.
However, lack of communication may also occur when
there is too much interference or distance between the
MC-10A controller and a specific fan controller.
!
Using the Fan Button [5], cycle through the controller
network channels and verify that all installed fan
controllers on the wireless network are in
communication with the MC-10A Remote Interface
Controller. If needed, repeat this procedure in the
location where the MC-10A controller will be installed.
►
Mount the MC-10A Remote Interface Controller in your
desired location. Slide-on screw mounts are provide
on the controller housing for your convenience.
►

Using the Fan Button [5], select the desired fan
controller to configure for automatic operation. To
configure all installed fan controllers on the network,
select the global update channel “AL”.
►
Automatic Control Mode
By default, all fans on the Breeze Mate™control system
network are set to automatic mode off when first installed.
Fans may be configured for automatic mode operation
either individually if needed, or all at the same time using
the network’s global update channel.
Press the On/Off Button [8] to switch the fan controller
to automatic mode on. When configured for automatic
operation, the MC-10A Remote Interface Controller
will display the Power Indicator Bars [11] to show the
amount of solar power available for fan operation.
►
Likewise, any single fan or all fans on the network may
be manually turned off by simply following the same
procedure above. While in automatic mode off, a fan
controller will continue to update the MC-10A Remote
Interface Controller with temperature and humidity
data, but the fan will not be allowed to operate.
