3.7 Installation
IMPORTANT: Install BlueChimney in such a way as to ensure easy and unobstructed access to
subsequent maintenance and cleaning.
Place BlueChimney in the middle of the outlet at the top of the
chimney. Remove the chimney cowl, if any, since the smoke extractor itself acts as a rain hood (does not
apply to model 310-200-80-1). Follow the national safety rules for walking on roofs.
Attach BlueChimney in the following way:
Round vent hole:
If the vent hole is round (Ø146-300 mm), lower the round flange down into the hole. To ensure that the flange
is wedged, bend the 8 chips on the immersion pipe outwards. Bend them so much outwards that they fit the
inner dimension in the chimney and are securely wedged.
Square vent hole up to 300x300 mm (brick
chimney):
If the vent hole is square, it is necessary to swap the
accompanying round flange with a square flange
designed for a brick chimney (purchased separately).
Installation of square flange on a brick chimney:
First, dismantle the round flange that is at the top of BlueChimney by removing the black motor cable from the
cable holder. Then turn the fastener and open the unit by tilting BlueChimney backwards. Open the lowermost
link of the safety chain and release the chain link from the hole in the pipe. Close the unit without turning the
fastener to the “locked” position. Loosen the hinge bolts by unscrewing the lock nuts and pull the hinge bolts
out of the hinge eyes.
You can now lift the BlueChimney unit out of the round flange and place it onto the flange for brick chimneys.
Mount the hinge bolts into the hinge eyes and screw the lock nut to the end of the bolt.
Place the distance chain securely into the flange pipe and close the link. Close the BlueChimney unit and turn
the fastener so that the BlueChimney unit is locked in position on the flange. Place the sealing mat over the
hole on the chimney. Screw the flange onto the concrete cover.
3.8 Electrical connection
IMPORTANT: THE BLUECHIMNEY POWER SUPPLY MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOCKET.
BlueChimney is powered by a 24 VDC low-voltage EC motor and does not need an earth terminal. You are
permitted to install BlueChimney yourself by connecting it to an existing power socket without earthing. Follow
the national safety rules for walking on roofs.
Install the 8-m-long motor cable to BlueChimney. Make sure that the waterproof connector of the motor cable
faces right (male connector) and that the union nut is fully screwed all the way to the bottom and tensioned
slightly. Guide the motor cable down along the chimney through the flashing or through the roof and down to
the ceiling or wherever there is access to power. Attach the cable to the chimney.
If the cable is too short, it is possible to purchase an additional extension cable (8 m).
IMPORTANT: If the control box and the power supply are installed outside in the open, the parts must
be placed in a watertight installation box with protection class of at least IP 54 (accessory).
