Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Glazing Vision Pitchvent. We hope that it gives you many years of service.

Supplied in either portrait or landscape formats, it is designed to be installed in-plane on pitched roof applications.
Regular cleaning and maintenance must be carried out according to the guidelines described in this manual. • Glazing Vision strongly recommends that any work is carried out by suitably qualified individuals (e.g. Glazing Vision trained personnel or contractors, or an experienced electro-mechanical service engineer).

Once the product is open, the chain actuators can be detached/reattached, and any problems can be diagnosed and resolved (contact Glazing Vision for assistance with this). Note that it may be necessary to prop the lid open using two lengths of timber (one either side of the product) so that it does not fall (it is important to use softwood to avoid damage to the aluminum extrusion).

If a fault is detected, the control board will disable the unit to prevent possible damage. Fault and standard conditions are indicated by the status light on the control switch.
