Specification Sheet
Adjustable DC Thermostat
(XXSOLARSTAT)
Adjustable Thermostats for Solar- Powered Attic Ventilators
The Adjustable Thermostat (XXSOLRSTAT) for use with the above Models of
Solar-Powered Attic Ventilators is designed to turn the fan on and off
automatically.
THERMOSTAT SETTING
The thermostat setting governs the “fan off” temperature, i.e., the
temperature at which the fan turns OFF. When the temperature rises 15°
above the “fan off” temperature, the fan turns ON. As the temperature in
the attic is reduced, the fan turns off when the temperature in the attic
reaches the “fan off” thermostat setting.
The adjustable thermostat is pre-set at the factory at 90°. This setting is
user-adjustable. The setting that is best for your attic varies by
geographical location.
A setting that is too low will cause the fan to run constantly; a setting that is
too high will cause the attic to be over-heated since the fan will not turn on
until the temperature rises 15° above the “fan off” thermostat setting.
For Series Models: VX1000SOLAR, VX2515SOLAR GABL

IMPORTANT! THE THERMOSTAT COVER MUST BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO PROPERLY WIRE THE THERMOSTAT. Failure to wire the
thermostat according to the diagram below will circumvent the thermostat entirely, and the fan will not turn off.
INSTALLATION
The thermostat should be installed in such a way that the thermostat
sensor, which is on the back of the control box, is not blocked. Usually, it is
best to choose a location where the control box can be suspended from
one of the rafters.
