STEP 1
Remove one tile
from the third row
down from ridge
cap.
If the gap
produced is less
than a 250mm
square opening
then either push
the tiles above
upwards or cut the
tiles to provide
clearance
Installation—Tiled Roof
The removal of a tile higher than this may damage the integrity of
the ridge tile pointing and is NOT recommended
STEP 2
If the roof is
‘sarked’ , Cut
sarking in a cross
folding back the
corners outwards
to give a 250mm
square opening.
Tape the corners
down with foil tape
to prevent them
from fouling the
fan

5
STEP 4
Fold down the
bottom edge of the
flashing to seal
against the lower
tiles.
Using a soft
hammer if required,
carefully dress the
front and sides of
the flashing into the
shape of the tiles.
Make sure that the cable is through the opening and not caught
under the flashing.
STEP 3
Taking the Airomatic
unit slide the
flashing under the
tiles above the
opening.
Ensure the motor
cable is on the low
side for correct
orientation.
Centre the unit over
the opening.
Installation—Tiled Roof

Installation—Tiled Roof
STEP 5
To ensure a
weatherproof
installation, apply
a bead of silicone
under the side
and front edges of
the flashing.
STEP 6
From within the
roof space, fit the
fixing strap by
hooking it
between the
flashing up stand
and the outer
housing.
The fixing strap
should be hooked
near to the cable
exit.
Ensure the fixing strap is seated firmly and that it DOES NOT
interfere with the fan

7
STEP 7
Take the fixing
strap and screw/
nail (not supplied)
it to the bottom
batten
The strap can be
deformed as
required to
achieve this.
For additional
weather proofing
turn the rear edge
of the flashing up
so that it seals
against the tiles
above.
Installation—Tiled Roof
Turning the rear of the flashing upwards allows it
to act as a gutter to prevent any wind driven
water from entering the roof space.

8
Installation—Metal Roof
STEP 1
Position the vent in
an appropriate
position and slip the
top edge of the
flashing under the
ridge capping.
Mark the centre of
each side to
determine where the
centre of the vent will
be.
Ensure the flashing covers the corrugations or ribs equally and that
it is located between the roof joists.
STEP 2
Remove the vent and
using the marks to
determine the centre
cut a 250mm square
opening.
Turn up corrugations
or pans around the
opening

9
Installation—Metal Roof
STEP 3
Place the vent back
on the roof by
slipping the top of
the flashing under
the ridge capping.
Line up the centre
marks made earlier
to ensure that the
vent is centred on
the opening
Ensure that the cable is through the opening and not caught under
the flashing.
STEP 4
Using a soft
hammer, carefully
dress the flashing
into the corrugations
of the metal sheet
profile.

10
Installation—Metal Roof
STEP 5
Lift the flashing
and run a bead of
silicone along the
underside of the
flashing, following
the edge along the
three exposed
sides.
STEP 6
Secure the flashing
to the metal sheeting
with Tek screws or
sealed rivets along
the 3 exposed edges
of the flashing.
Approximately 10
required (not
supplied)
The fixing strap is not required for metal roof installations and can
be discarded

11
Installation—Electrical Connection
STEP 1
Connect the lead
coming from the
AiroMatic fan unit to
the speed controller
STEP 2
Connect the power
supply lead to the
speed controller
STEP 3
Connect the power
supply to a mains
socket. Turn on and
check fan runs
freely
STEP 4
Using either the
supplied screws or
cable ties mount the
speed controller on a
suitable piece of
structure that does not
place the controller in
either direct sunlight or
the airflow of the
AiroMatic™
STEP 5
Set the control mode by
pressing the button on the
side of the speed controller.
Ensure the power supply is not in contact with
damp or wet areas
How the connectors clip together

12
Installation—Speed Control Mode
The speed controller has 4 operating modes. These can be cycled
through by pressing the button on the speed controller.
The order of modes are: LO. MED. HI, AUTO. When engaging AUTO
mode the fan will speed up to full speed and then slow down to a
stop to provide feedback that AUTO has been selected. Once this
startup procedure is complete the fan will analyse the environment
and run at the appropriate speed.
MODES:
LO (Default) - Continuous operation, low speed, low flow rate,
very quiet, very low power consumption.
MED - Continuous operation, moderate speed, moderate flow
rate.
HI - Continuous operation, high speed, high flow rate.
AUTO - Variable speed. The AiroMatic will automatically
increase or decrease the speed of the fan depending on
roof cavity temperature (30°C - 45°C) and roof cavity
relative humidity (65%rH—80%rH).
In AUTO mode the AiroMatic will run based off the environmental
conditions. When the conditions are deemed suitable for no ventilation
the unit will enter power saving mode and the motor will not run.
