Motor Features

• Universal mounting all position with IPX4 degree of weather protection
• Patented anti water intrusion system.
• Acoustic dome with super quiet, long vane, backward curved centrifugal fan.
  • Airflow is dependant on installation and the ducting used.
• Using a single 200mm flexi duct run you should attain 900m ^3 /hr depending on the ducting installation.
• The use of a smaller 200mm ducting would result in a loss of airflow.

- Simple installation: - Mounts onto a 150mm PVC pipe for ultimate strength and allows for easy Dektite roof sealing.

- Industrial quality motor and fan made in Germany and rated at 40,000 hours.

- Motor is a high efficiency PSC type and rated at 57W.

- WARRANTY 5 YEARS return to manufacturer. Covers faulty manufacturing or components. It does not cover normal wear and tear.

General Notes on Installation and Use

This fan unit is designed to be installed using 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe as the initial connection duct to the fan module, and is supplied with a 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe to 200mm duct bell-mouth adaptor.

This fan is suitable for connection to ducting runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm ^2 and length up to 8 metres maximum (check with supplier if longer duct length required). ducting must be extended sufficiently to present a smooth air passage with bends of at least the radius of twice the diameter of the duct.

Excessive bends in the ducting will compromised extraction.

WARNING: The exhaust fan must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space, where a build up of grease can occur and become a potential fire risk. This will void your warranty.

Recommended Installation Distance

Isodrive 900 motor, recommended 4 metres of ducting and with at least two bends.

NOTE: Installation closer than this distance may result in higher noise level. Maximum duct length is 8 metres.

Check with supplier if longer duct length is required. Do not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp bends.

3. General

Minimum Mounting Height

This fan unit is intended for mounting at a minimum height of 2.1 metres (measured to the lower part of the fan impeller) above floor/ground level.

Avoidance of Back Flow

Care should be taken to avoid the back flow of gases into the room.

Safety of Children

This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Replacement of supply cord

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Why Flexi-duct

Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully flexible ducting.

The use of a complete rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will cause an organ piping effect to occur; like a didgeridoo, where a noise is produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is amplified out the other.

The motor system puts the noise outside the house.

Warning: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically matched flexi-ducting will void performance expectations. Any installation problems must be reported to Schweigen. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee direct to the customer. Schweigen takes no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation. Faulty installation may void warranty. An experienced installer list can be obtained from the Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au or call 1300 881 693.

Roof Installation

Recommended duct length: minimum 4 metres.

Mount 150mm (ISD) rigid PVC pipe securely to beams, trusses or other appropriate structures: refer figure 1. The pipe should be mounted vertically with the roof penetration being sealed using a Dektite or other appropriate sealing membrane or device.

Ensure that the PVC pipe protrudes a minimum of 50mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the fan assembly clears the roof cladding at upper edge as shown in figure 1 – Roof Mount Option.

Pass power cord and plug through mounting flange and pipe, then out the slotted PVC pipe for connection to the socket. Refer to figure 4.

Do not insert plug into socket outlet or switch on until installation has been completed. Fit fan module to pipe and fix in position using side locking screw.

Certain external installation configurations may cause audible levels of noise to be heard due to the air being expelled from the motor. To minimize external noise disturbance you can use between 4 to 8 metres of duct to place the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.

Please be aware that the 900 motor is capable of expelling air at 900m^3/hr .

For more information on environmental noise limit and conditions please contact your local Council. We have a list of experienced installers available on the Schweigen website.

Do not install the duct in a straight line and minimum of two gentle bends in the ducts is required.

Fully extend ducting, cut to length.

Figure 1: Roof mount option

Wall Installation

This type of installation is similar to roof mounting, ensuring that the pipe extends at least 50mm past the wall surface refer figure 2. If the pipe length is shortened, reproduce the power cord exit slot on the inside of the wall.

NOTE: By decreasing the length of the duct from which specified (refer to installation instructions) there will be an increase in airflow and noise levels as a result. This increase in airflow can cause movement of air to be heard through the system and inhibit the system to run silently.

6. Flexible Duct

Flexible Ducting

Flexible ducting must be fully extended and cut to the required length upon installation. Maximum fan performance will not be achieved unless the ducting is fully extended. Failure to fully extend the ducting results in smaller air passage and lower airflow. Incorrect installation may reduce airflow and increase noise levels. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee directed to the customer. Schweigen will take no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation. Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. An experienced installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au.

Shallow Roof Space

In shallow roof spaces, do not crush or kink flexible ducting, as it will reduce air flow severely. 90 degree curve made of PVC or galvanise can be used as a substitute for the bend, refer to figure 9.

90 degree curve PVC or galvanise curve

Figure 9: Shallow roof space

Important Note

Please do not crush or kink flexible ducting, as it will reduce air flow and may cause noise to occur through the system. Ducting needs to be kept taut at all times.

6. Flexible Duct

Securing Flexible Duct

Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5 metres. Flexible ductwork can be supported by using gaffer or electrical tape. Provided that it does not restrict the internal diameter of the ducting. Ducting installed looped over hanging beams should be installed in such a manner as to ensure the changes of direction are gradual. Support of the ducting with the use of hangers may be required, see option 2.

NOTE: Ducting should be kept taut at all times.

Option 1

Secure the flexible duct to the beam

Aluminium foil tape

Option 2

Support flexible duct by using hangers.

NOTE: Care shall be taken to minimize sagging or snaking of the duct between supports.
