INSTALLATION Cont...
Install the Air Outlet and Fan
The Vent Kit includes a 45° F-M PVC bend to fit into the Pod and connect the
pipework, a Y-Junction PVC and a Coupling & Cap as the water condensate.
The vent pipe can be installed either through the inside of the house or on the
outside. Any exposed vent pipe should be insulated to ensure that the evaporating
liquid does not condense and run back into the system. If pipe is situated in such a
way (or in cold climates) that condensation may occur, it is recommended that the
Y-connection is fitted to allow condensation to drain away from
the fan.
The vent pipe should also be as straight as possible after leaving
the Fan Housing.
The Fan Housing should be easily accessible and secured to the
pipe by way of four (4) self tapping screws and placed on a 45°
angle as close to the pod sleeve as possible. Make sure it is put
in a place that enables access to the fan through the fan cover
hatch. The Fan Housing is secured to the PVC pipe using screws
and sealed with Sikaflex.
The Wind Turbine Vent
The Wind Turbine Vent is manufactured with a 150mm fitting and comes with an
adapter which is supplied with the kit. These adapters allow you to fit the 150mm fitting
to 100mm PVC pipe. Use self-tappers to attach the adapters to the Wind Turbine Vent.
Slide the adapter over the 100mm PVC Vent pipe and position, ensure the Turbine spins
freely and attach using three(3) self-tappers.
Do Not Use Glue.

Insulation
Once everything is in place, the Rota-Loo structure should be well insulated, so that the temperature
inside the unit remains as warm as possible. This is particularly important in cold climate areas.
Please
understand that insulation can work both ways and may keep the chamber cooler in warm climate
areas which may work against good composition.
The fan assembly should be placed on a 45° angle using
the 45° end coming from the Pod, this will ensure that
any condensing vapour does not adversely affect the
operation of the fan. It is not recommended that the Fan
Assembly be vertical, since condensation can drip down
the vent pipe and cause problems including shorting out
the fan and affecting your household electrics
To Ensure that your installation is Noise Free it is
important to make sure that the vent pipe is insulated
against causing vibrations to any surface with which it
may have contact. Areas that may cause vibration noise
are the vent pipe being in contact with floor, walls, joins
etc. If “stand off “ brackets are used on the outside of the
building ensure that foam strip or a similar material is
used to absorb any vibration.
Solar Powered - 12VDC Fan (or 24VDC if specified).
The 12VDC fan comes with stripped wires ready to
connect to the 12V power supply (controller). This must
be done in accordance with the instructions of the
supplier of the solar power system. It is important to
check the fan rotation to ensure it provides air flow in the
correct direction.
Mains Powered - 240VAC Fan.
A single GPO needs to be installed by
an electrician to the relevant electrical
standards in close proximity to the
fan housing. The fan is supplied with
a lead ready to be plugged into the
GPO.
