Installing the Fan
Step 1 - Remote Mounted Solar Panel
Begin by Locating the power cable included with your Attic Breeze
solar attic fan. Make sure the power cable is long enough to reach
the location where the remote solar panel will be installed.
If additional power cable length is needed for your installation,
Attic Breeze offers a 25 foot extended power cable as an
available option.
Route the power cable through the attic, starting from the fan area
to the location where your remote solar panel will be installed and
secure the power cable in place. The power cable may be routed
out of the attic by bringing the cable through an existing passive
vent, penetrating a gable wall and running the cable along the
roof eve, or simply routing the power cable directly through the
roof. When making any wall or roof penetration, caulk around
the penetration using the provided sealant. The power cable
flange may be used to better weatherproof a power cable roof
penetration. To use the flange, cut a small hole in the tip of the
flange to allow the power cable to pass through, then secure the
flange to the roof over the penetration point.
Install the solar panel mounting brackets per the instructions
included with your specific Attic Breeze bracket kit. Plug in the
power cord to the connector on back of the remote solar panel
and securely mount the solar panel/bracket assembly as required
to your roof or structure.
Step 2 - Building the Mounting Box
Build a mounting box around your existing gable or passive vent
inside the attic. Measure the length between the studs adjoining
the vent and cut the 2x4 boards to complete the box as shown in Figure 1. Secure the boards in place using
woodscrews. When completed, the mounting box should provide an air channel for the gable fan to properly exhaust
through your vent.
Mounting box should be no larger than 21"x21". If gable or passive vent extends beyond this area, block off excess
venting area to prevent backflow of exhaust air.
Step 3 - Installing the Fan
Next, remove all packaging material and tape from your fan. Install
the Attic Breeze retrofit-style solar fan flush to the mounting box (see
Figure 2). The fan housing (cylinder) should be positioned facing
toward the attic space. Secure the fan unit to the mounting box
with self tapping screws.
If installing a Breeze Mate® control system, please follow the
instructions included with that product at this time. Plug the power
cable from the solar panel or Breeze Mate® connector into the
power cable connector on the fan (black cable).
ATTENTION:
INSTALLATION. After the power cable is connected, your
Attic Breeze solar fan may begin operating immediately when
exposed to sunlight.
