Figure 3 - Mounting the Fan
Adjusting the Solar Panel
The solar panel on your Attic Breeze solar attic fan may either be left down in
the horizontal mounted position as received from the factory, or the solar panel
bracket may be raised to pivot the solar panel toward the south in order to get
better sun exposure.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SET BOLTS! You may damage your bracket if
too much torque is applied to the set bolts.
Warranty Registration
YOUR WARRANTY MUST BE REGISTERED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF
INSTALLATION. Please visit our website at www.atticbreeze.net to
register your warranty.
Remove all packaging material and tape from your fan. Position the fan so that it is centered with the vent hole and
allow the control cable to hang freely from the bottom of the fan unit. Locate the control switch (
red bag
) included
with your solar fan, or if installing a Breeze Mate® control system, please follow the instructions included with that
product at this time. Plug the control switch (or Breeze Mate® cable) into the control cable 4-prong plug. For models
featuring a remote mounted solar panel, plug the power cable from the solar panel into the 2-prong plug on the
control cable.
Step 4 - Mount the Fan
ATTENTION:
KEEP THE SOLAR PANEL COVERED DURING INSTALLATION.
After the control switch is connected, your Attic Breeze solar fan may begin
operating immediately when exposed to sunlight.
Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof caulking to the bottom
side of the fan unit (see Figure 3). Align the fan unit with the vent hole so that
the sticker "
INSTALL THIS SIDE TOWARDS GROUND
" is facing the correct direction.
The fan unit can also be turned 90 degrees from this postion to allow for better
solar panel sun exposure if needed (ex. East or West facing roof orientation).
With all fan cables connected and hanging inside the vent hole, slide the fan
unit underneath the shingles until the fan reaches the top of the hole. Secure
the fan flashing to the roof with self-tapping screws through the pre-drilled
holes in the base flashing. Apply caulk around the fan unit where the shingles
meet the flashing, across the 4" slit cuts, and over any exposed screw heads to
weatherproof your installation.
Attic Breeze offers an industry leading LIFETIME WARRANTY on your new solar
attic fan. For more information about the terms and conditions of our warranty,
please see our website for details. Thank you for choosing Attic Breeze!
ATTENTION:
Do not raise the solar panel if installing this product in an
area of either Florida or Texas that has been designated as a high velocity
wind zone area. The solar panel must remain in the flat horizontal position
due to building code requirements.
