Product information
An Exodraft RS chimney fan is designed with horizontal discharge.
The fan must be installed on top of a chimney and creates a negative pressure (suction) along the full
length of the ue.
The fan can be used in connection with all types of fuel burning appliances and is especially well-suited to
appliances burning solid fuel, such as wood-burning replaces and stoves and biomass or solid-fuel boilers.
The fan is part of an Exodraft system and should be connected to an Exodraft controller for optimal effect.
Incorrect ring may result in problems with soot, chimney res, etc. which might damage the product.

The RS fan has been designed to tolerate ue gas temperatures up to 250°C. Should the temperature be
higher (though maximum 300°C), the mineral wool mat should be removed and replaced with optional
dilution bolts (type RSD) or vibration dampers (type SVD-RS) at the ange to create extra cooling air under
the fan. For more information about these parts see under accessories.
All RS models (apart from the RS009-41) has a motor capacitor. The capacitor is considered a wear part
that will be worn out over time (depending on usage). If the capacitor is worn out, the motor will have
difculties starting up. Then it is time to replace the capacitor. Please ask a qualied electrician to carry out
this job.

Precautions and user instructions
These instructions, applicable standards and relevant safety procedures from the manufacturer must be
followed and at the same time the ofcial provisions in force in the country, where the product is installed,
must be observed.
Suport system
Prior to installation of a chimney fan, it must be determined if the chimney can safely carry the weight of the
chimney fan.
A steel chimney should be well supported at the roof penetration point. If the chimney extends high above
the roof, the chimney and the fan should be secured. The manufacturer´s instructions must be followed.
Brick chimneys do not usually need any kind of support to carry the weight of the chimney fan.
System type
Fireplaces and wood stoves used in private dwellings normally operate in a relatively stable environment,
where no major pressure uctuations occur. However, to secure an optimal use of the Exodraft system
speed adjustments and adjustment of air intakes are required depending on the weather outside and on the
stage of the ring process.
Fireplaces used in restaurants are exposed to major pressure changes due to factors like the constant
opening/closing of doors, kitchen exhaust fans pulling out air, etc. In an environment like this spillage of
smoke can easily occur.
Precautions
Be aware that it
• must be installed on top of the chimney
• can be mounted on steel as well as brick chimneys
• must be mounted with the approved Exodraft accessories
• must be accessible for service and maintenance from the roof or from a ladder/cherry picker
• the distance to ammable materials must be at least 500 mm
• the isolation switch must be easily accessible
ATTENTION! It is always recommended to install a
smoke alarm in connection with a wood red installation.

Multiple fans on chimney
If two or more chimney fans are required to create sufcient draft, installation procedures are almost the
same as for single fan installation. See the installation guide below.
Multiple fans on a brick chimney
1
If two or more fans are required to create
suf- cient draft, a special adapter plate is requi-
red (not an Exodraft part). The two holes in the
plate should match the throat diameter of the fan
model used and the distance from center to center
should be at least equal to the fan width. Exodraft
recommends that a partition is mounted between
the fans.
The adapter should be sealed with silicone and
bolted onto the top.
When installing multiple fans, it is extremely
important that the fans are of the same model
and size, and they must be controlled in tandem
by one motor speed control.
A similar approach should be taken if the ue size
exceeds the fan base dimensions. The adapter
plate should be sized so it covers the ue and
secured. A hole should be cut in the center of the
plate and the fan mounted centered over the hole.
Multiple fans on a steel chimney
1
If two or more chimney fans are required to create
sufcient draft, the installation procedures are
basically the same as for single fan installation
on a steel chimney. However, as the fans will be
placed next to each other, a special plenum box
will be required (not an Exodraft part).
Exodraft recommends that a partition is mounted
between the fans.
When installing multiple fans, it is extremely
important that the fans are of the same model
and size, and they must be controlled in tandem
by one motor speed control.
