5. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for the fan's performance and longevity. It is recommended to have this unit installed by a professional.
5.1 Valg af sted
- Choose a location on the roof that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
- Ensure the area is clear of obstructions like trees or chimneys that could shade the solar panel.
- Verify that the roof structure can safely support the fan unit.
5.2 Installationstrin
- Mål og markér: Measure the size of the inner circle of the fan base. Mark this diameter on your roof at the chosen installation site.
- Skær åbning: Carefully cut a circular opening on your roof according to the marked inner circle.
- Install Fan Unit: Place the fan unit over the opening. Secure the roof flange to the roof using appropriate screws and seal all joints with a waterproof sealant to prevent leaks.
- Juster solpanelet: Adjust the angle of the solar panel (0°-30° vertical) and rotate the base (360° horizontal) to face the sun for optimal energy capture. Tighten the adjustment rod to secure the panel's position.
- Tilslut AC-adapter (valgfrit): If using the 110V AC power backup, connect the smart power adapter to the fan and plug it into a suitable outdoor-rated electrical outlet.

- TIL/FRA: Tænder eller slukker for ventilatoren.
- Increase Speed (+): Øger blæserhastigheden.
- Reduce Speed (-): Reducerer blæserhastigheden.
- Timing Plus/Minus: Adjusts the timer settings (if applicable).
- Parkode: Used for pairing the remote with the fan unit.
- Automatisk tilstand: Activates the smart thermostat function.
6.2 driftstilstande
- Automatisk tilstand: When selected, the fan's speed automatically adjusts based on the attic temperature. It activates when the temperature exceeds 77°F (25°C) and increases speed as the temperature rises.
- Manuel tilstand: Allows you to manually set the fan speed using the remote control.
6.3 Power Source Management
The fan intelligently switches between solar and AC power:
- During sufficient sunlight, the fan operates solely on solar power. The fan speed is determined by the intensity of sunlight in automatic mode.
- When sunlight is insufficient (e.g., cloudy days, night), the system automatically switches to the 110V AC power adapter (if connected). In AC mode, fan speed can be adjusted via the remote control.

7. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar attic fan.
- Rengøring af solpaneler: Rengør solpanelets overflade med jævne mellemrum med en blød kludamp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may reduce efficiency. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspektion af blæserblad: Annually inspect the fan blades for any buildup of dust or debris. If necessary, carefully clean the blades after ensuring the power is completely disconnected.
- Ventilation Opening Check: Ensure the attic ventilation openings (soffit vents, gable vents) are not obstructed to allow proper airflow.
- Strukturel kontrol: Periodically inspect the mounting hardware and roof sealant for any signs of wear or damage. Re-seal or tighten as needed.
