2.2 INSTALLING AFG SLR SOLAR PANEL
Once you have found a location for your AFG SLR solar panel, now it's time to mount the panel. The wiring
from the solar panel is 30 feet long and must connect directly to the AFG SLR. Make sure the location you
have chosen is within 30 feet of the AFG SLR.
1.
Attach the provided screws and brackets to the solar panel. Install the angle adjustment brackets by
securing one end to the regulating plate and the other end to the solar panel frame.

Now connect the wire to your AFG SLR. The AFG SLR will automatically turn on if there is sunlight
and the temperature is above 75° F
Adjusting the Solar Panel
The fan's solar panel should be adjusted to maximize exposure to the sun's path during the day. The optimal
adjustment is to have the panel 90 degrees to the midday path of the sun. You can readjust the panel during
winter or summer seasons if desired.

2.
Set up the panel as stated in Adjusting Panel Tilt.
3.
Find the best mounting location (see Choosing the Right
Location on page 6).
Shingle Roof: Using the four 1.5" galvanized screws and
washers, fasten the panel to the roof.
Tile Roof: Find the contact points between the roof and the
backside of the solar panel. Apply roofing adhesive to these
contact points and firmly secure the panel to the surface.
4.
To prevent leaking, make sure to apply weatherproof
roofing grade sealant on the screwheads.
5.
Now it's time to run the wire from the solar panel into
the attic through the gable vent. Be sure to include a
drip curve in the wire to ensure no water can run down
the cord and enter the attic through the gable vent.
Adjusting Panel Tilt
This fan has two solar panel adjustments. Set the angle prop-
erly to capture the most direct sunlight. Remove the screw
on both sides of the panel assembly. Lift the panel and swing
the panel braces up to the desired position and re-attach the
screw in the applicable holes.
