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 40 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 a roof-grade weatherproof sealant.

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.

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:

KEEP THE SOLAR PANEL COVERED DURING

INSTALLATION. After the power cable is connected, your

Attic Breeze solar fan may begin operating immediately

when exposed to sunlight.
