Fan Installation
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
(a)
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the
manufacturer.
(b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked; securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a tag to
the service panel.
(c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes & standards including related construction.
(d)
When cutting or drilling into wall or roof, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
(e)
CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive
Materials And Vapors.
(f)
DO NOT USE with heated air in excess 140˚F (60˚C).
Select Fan Location
When selecting a location to install the SWF fan that has been chosen, take into consideration the applica-
tion of the product, the locations of fresh air intakes, and sound generated by the SWF unit.
The fan should be located a minimum of 6 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from any fresh air intakes
for HVAC systems, heat recovery systems, etc. to prevent exhaust air streams from being re-introduced
into the occupied space. Doors or windows that are frequently opened during pleasant seasons may also be
considered fresh air intakes so keep this in mind when selecting the location of the SWF.
Mark and Introduce Required Holes
Once the location on the exterior wall where the fan is to be mounted has been selected, mark all screw
and hole locations utilizing the included template. Cut the holes through the wall for the duct connection
and for the electrical conduit. Measure the thickness of the wall and the length of the duct connection that
is supplied on the SWF fan. Cut a length of duct so that once connected to the fan, will extend 2” through
the wall.
If mounting the fan on a masonry wall, drill four holes and insert wall anchors. If mounting to wooden
structure, you will utilize wood screws to secure the SWF to the wall.
If the fan is to be mounted on a wall surface which is not flush such as lapped siding, a mounting plate to
provide for a flush fit needs to be made.
Mount the Fan
Insert electrical supply through the wall. Attach the duct extension to the SWF making sure that the
connection is secure. Apply a generous amount of exterior silicone caulk to backplate of the fan to ensure
an airtight/waterproof connection between the fan and the wall surface. If a mounting frame is used in
conjunction with lapped siding, be certain to apply a generous amount of caulk between the frame and the
wall as well as the fan backplate and the frame. Mount the fan to the wall.
Note: Be certain to make an airtight seal around all interior wall penetrations before attaching
duct work.
