INSTALLATION
Note: This ventilator is capable of replacing an existing
120 volt powered attic ventilator. Only a qualified per-
son should remove any electrical wiring in accordance
with local codes and standards.
1. Locate the ventilator at the center of the rear slope of the
roof. Generally, we recommend a point located 24" – 36"
on center below the roof peak and centrally along the
ridgeline. The roof should be free of obstacles (television
antenna, electrical lines, etc.).
2. Locate the remote solar panel on your roof where the sun's
exposure is best barring shade (trees, other buildings
etc) at 4:00pm in the hottest month of the year. The solar
panel comes from the factory with 15 feet of wire. If the
desired location of the solar panel is greater than 15 feet
away from the ventilator, an additional 50 ft of 14 AWG
(minimum) UL listed or recognized copper wire may be
used.
3. Prior to installation, we recommend setting up the ventilator
and solar panel to verify operation. Take the fan and solar
panel to a location exposed to sun. Connect the solar
panel wires to the motor terminals (red wire to positive
terminal and black wire to negative terminal). Removing
the cardboard cover from the solar panel should cause
the ventilator to operate. Place cardboard over solar panel
(for safety), disconnect wire from motor terminals.

5. Working from the inside of your attic, find the desired
ventilator location and mark a spot halfway between
rafters at a point that is 24" – 36" below the roof ridge.
6. Drill a guide hole through the roof at this mark.
