Step 7
When the unit is properly located, apply a generous
amount of roofing compound between the flange
and the shingles approximately 1-in inside the
perimeter of
the flange
and begin to
secure with
nails.
Suggested nailing pattern:
Step 8
Check the installation for leakage with water from a
garden hose. Do not spay water directly into the
vent opening.
SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Step 1
Mount the 4 brackets to the solar panel
with the 8 screws provided.
Step 2
When placing the solar panels
on your roof, choose a southern
or western exposure, away from
trees and afternoon shadows.
Mount the solar panel onto the
roof with the 4 screws and lock
washers provided.
Step 3
It is acceptable for the wires connecting the power
attic ventilator and the solar panel to run
across the roof. If
you prefer to route
the wires through the
attic, do the following:
A) Drill a hole in the
roof deck near the
top of the solar
panel location.
B) Insert connector
wires through the
hole into attic.
C) Add caulking around
the hole.
Step 4
Protect the solar panel from the
sun, using a non-translucent
material such as the original
package, so that it will not produce
power and activate the fan
unexpectedly.
Connect the wires of the solar
panel to those of the attic vent.
Be sure to connect the positive
wire from the solar panel to the positive wire from
the fan, and the negative wire from the solar panel
to the negative wire from the fan.
Recommendation:
Hose the panel down periodically to ensure that the
cells do not become obstructed by excessive dust
or other debris, as this could affect the output.
TIP: To increase the power of the fan,
additional solar panels may be added,
using the easy-connect clips .
