Installing the Fan

Step 1 - Building the Mounting Box

Build a mounting box around the area where you want to install

your fan. The mounting box may be constructed from 2x4 boards

for wood frame structures or a prefabricated sheet metal mounting

box may be used for commercial applications. The mounting box

must accept an 18"x18" square housing and allow the wall mount

fan to extend roughly 11" to the inside of the structure from the

mounting surface (see Figure 1).

If the location where you wish to install the wall mount fan

uses 16" on center support studs, a framing cripple will

be required. Consult a local contractor for assistance if

needed.

When your mounting box is finished, you will need cut a vent hole

in the exterior wall. For wood frame structures, use a reciprocating

saw to cut the wall vent hole roughly 1" larger on all sides than the

mounting box (see Figure 2). This will allow room for securing the

fan unit to the mounting box surface. For commercial applications,

the size of the wall vent hole will depend on the dimensions of the

prefabricated mounting box.

Step 2 - 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 3 - Installing the Fan

Remove all packaging material and tape from your fan. If installing

a Breeze Mate® control system, please follow the instructions

included with that product at this time. Holding the fan unit close to the vent hole, 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.
