Fan-Aspirated ISS Options

Batteries
The Wireless Fan-Aspirated ISS is solar powered and is supplied with two
NiCad C-cell batteries. At your option you may decide to install either zero,
one, or two C-cell batteries.
Install two fan batteries for maximum length of overnight aspiration but
with slightly lower average daytime aspiration.
Install only one fan battery for some overnight aspiration but with slightly
higher average daytime aspiration.
Install no batteries for maximum daytime aspiration and no nighttime
aspiration.
Low-Current Fan Unit
A low-current fan unit (#7759) is available that uses less power than the stan-
dard fan. This allows the solar-powered Fan-Aspirated ISS to run for a longer
period of time during darkness. The low-current fan is recommended for use in
high latitudes during the Winter months, in climates that experience extended
periods of cloudy weather, or for any location with limited solar charging.

Fan-Aspirated ISS Maintenance

Keep the surfaces clean as the Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield is less effec-
tive when the surfaces are dirty. Remove dust from the solar panel and the
screen with a damp cloth.
Remove any debris that obstructs air flow between the radiation shield
parts e.g., leaves, twigs, webs, and nests.
Avoid spraying insect killer of any kind into the radiation shield as this
may damage the sensors and the shield.
Once a year: replace the motor (Part # 7758), batteries (solar-powered mod-
els only), and remove any debris lodged inside the unit.
