Installing the Daytime Fan Kit
14
9. Connect the wire coming from the top solar panel on the SIM cover
included in the components of the fan-aspirated unit to the SIM board.
Note: This wire is not needed on cabled Vantage Pro2. For cabled systems, you should
secure it where it will not interfere with the SIM box.
Connecting the Solar Panel Wires
10. Connect the wire coming from the bottom solar panel to power cable
assembly in the SIM Box.
11. Reinsert the foam into the cable access port in the SIM box.
12. Close the SIM box.
13. Use cable ties to secure cables.
14. Make sure the fan blades are rotating by directing the connected SIM cover
to sunlight or by shining a bright incandescent light on the solar panel.
You should hear a slight whir if the fan is running.
Guidelines for Securing Cables
• Secure cables so they will not whip in the wind.
• Secure cables to metal poles by using a cable tie or
by wrapping electrical tape around them both.
• Place clips or ties approximately every 3 to 5 feet
(1 to 1.6 m).
• If needed, additional cable ties, cable tie mounts,
and other hardware can be obtained at a hardware or electronics store.
Note: Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples—especially
when installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
