generating heat, the fan may run longer to compensate for the internal
heating.
3. FILTER MESH: The stainless steel filter mesh should be small
enough to keep out most insects but will allow dust to enter. If the unit
will be used in dusty areas, we recommend adding a dust cover over
the existing filter mesh. A square piece of filter material can be cut and
fastened over the existing filter mesh using Velcro. The unit should be
checked periodically for clogged filters and they should be cleaned if
clogged to maintain best performance. The stainless steel filter mesh
can be removed with two screws and cleaned with water.
4. FAN DIRECTION: The fan is setup to blow air towards the inside of
the enclosure. This is done to maintain a slightly higher pressure inside
the enclosure when the fan is running. This helps to reduce the humidi-
ty inside the enclosure.
5. WATER INGRESS: The RPST-PowerVent is mounted to the bottom
of the enclosure so in normal use water won’t be able to make it’s way
inside the enclosure. If mounted close to the ground or near lawn sprin-
klers or irrigation sprinklers it’s possible for water to enter the enclosure
through the filter mesh. Be careful about site preparation when using
the RPST-PowerVent. Do not use if the bottom of the enclosure will be
subjected to spraying water.
