SAFETY AND WARNINGS

a. The installation of this product involves working at heights on a sloping surface and may be dangerous,

including the potential of death, personal injury, or property damage.

b. Follow the state or territory regulator OH&S guidelines for working at heights, electrical, working in

elevated temperatures (e.g. roof space in summer). For more information on your State OH&S

guidelines for working at heights, please refer to: https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/heights

c. All ventilation products must be installed by a qualified installer and all electrical wiring (where

applicable) must be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

d. EcoPower Hybrid Ventilators use 220V-240V AC power for the electrically powered components and

electrical connections must only be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

e. EcoPower Hybrid Ventilators are supplied with either a Smart Controller or Interface Box - these devices

must not be tampered with and the hybrid ventilator must not be operated without either of these

devices.

f. Do not attempt to power up EcoPower Hybrid Ventilators when the product is not suitably roof mounted

as the turbine will rotate without warning and may create a hazard.

g. Due to the size and weight of the turbine, it is recommended that it is always lifted by 2 people or a

crane. Refer to the lifting instructions.

h. Damaged parts must be replaced with a genuine replacement part from CSR Bradford Ventilation.

i. The turbine head of this product can rotate without warning (even during installation) – always keep

body parts away from moving components.

j. Please read this manual carefully before installing this product and keep it for future reference or

provide it to the building owner/maintenance manager.

LIMITATIONS

Not suitable for use in cyclonic regions.

2. VENTILATOR POSITIONING & PROVISION FOR MAKE-UP AIR

CSR Bradford Ventilation recommends that ventilators are positioned 4m to 6m away from each other in all

directions for effective and efficient performance. It is also recommended that ventilators of the same size

are used together to prevent replacement air from being drawn between ventilators of different sizes.

Ensure that the ventilators are not sheltered from the wind by surrounding objects, the shadow angle

created by the roof ridge or by each other.

Make-up air is required for this ventilator to replenish the exhausted air. As a general guide, the largest

make-up air entry should be positioned on the opposite side of the building to the largest ventilator demand.

The make-up air location should be positioned at optimum height to provide efficient sweeping of the floor

area.

The illustrations below provide a number of generic ventilator and make-up air layouts but it should be

noted that a whole-of-building assessment, as per AS1668.2, should be conducted by a suitably qualified

person prior to deciding upon site-specific ventilator and make-up air placement.

IMPORTANT: If external make-up air is insufficient, the ventilators will draw make-up air from each other –

this will both diminish the effectiveness of the system and increase the risk of the system drawing external

water into the building during periods of rain. It is also recommended that ventilators of the same size are

used together to prevent replacement air from being drawn between ventilators of different sizes.

document. The purchaser should independently determine the suitability of the product for the intended use and application.

3. INSTALLATION UNDER THE RIDGE

Note: See Section 4 for installation away from the ridge.

a. Set Position: Place the base flashing under the ridge cap at the required position and adjust the

position to avoid structural roof members below the roof sheet. Ensure the flashing covers the

corrugation or ribs equally on each side of the flashing, then mark a circle on the roof using the hole in

the flashing as a template.

document. The purchaser should independently determine the suitability of the product for the intended use and application.

Important Note Regarding Roof Structural Support:

EP400 - EP600 & H100 – H600 – If the purlin spacing is larger than 600mm, trimmers are

required. Install the trimmers between the purlin on either side of the opening. Do not cover the

openings.

EP900 & H700 – H900 – If the purlin spacing is larger than 1000mm, trimmers are required.

Install the trimmers between the purlin on either side of the opening. Do not cover the opening.

document. The purchaser should independently determine the suitability of the product for the intended use and application.

b. Cut Hole: Carefully cut the hole, remembering that there may be insulation and other roof

members under the roof sheet. Once the hole has been cut, fold up the edge of the

corrugations or pans. Ensure the roofing safety mesh/net integrity is maintained after the

installation.

c. Secure Flashing: Attach the flashing under the ridge cap and apply sealant prior to final fixing

(refer to the table below for the required number of fasteners). If trimmers are used ensure the

flashing is secured to the trimmers. Seal all fasteners with a suitable sealant to ensure they are

weatherproof.

d. Assemble the Varipitch: When a Varipitch throat is being used, position the Varipitch on the

flashing and rotate the top and bottom halves until the top of the Varipitch is level (horizontal) -

it is recommended that an electronic or spirit level is used to ensure that the top edge of the

throat is horizontal in all directions.

e. Secure the Varipitch Angle: With the Varipitch upper throat positioned horizontally, lock it into

position using the supplied Varipitch clip. Use either self-tapping screws or blind rivets to

secure all the clips between the two halves of the Varipitch.

f. Weather Sealing: Seal the Varipitch seam on the inside with a bead of weather-resistant

suitable sealant.

NOTE: DO NOT apply sealant to the joint between the flashing and Varipitch. This is a natural

gutter to release any trapped condensation. See details in section (i) below.

Do Not Seal

g. Secure Varipitch to Flashing: Reposition the Varipitch on the Flashing and check it is

horizontal - secure the Varipitch to the flashing using the recommended number of screws

shown in the table below – DO NOT SEAL this connection.

h. Assemble Turbine: Assemble the turbine head to the Varipitch. Re-check if the assembly is

level (horizontal) and adjust the turbine by tilting the throat slightly if required. Ensure the

knurling (the tapered section of the Varipitch) is fully inside the ventilator throat and secure the

ventilator throat by fastening it to the top of the Varipitch with the number of fasteners shown in

the table below.

NOTE: DO NOT apply sealant to the joint between the turbine and Varipitch. This is a natural

gutter to release any trapped condensation. See details in section (i) below.
