Product information
An Exodraft RSV chimney fan is designed with vertical 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.
Please check out this site for advice about lighting and maintaining a re:

All models can be opened for service and cleaning purposes.
The sound level is below 60 dB (measured at a distance greater than 2.5 metre away from the fan) if
installed correctly. Further information about sound levels available in our technical brochure/datasheet.
The RSV 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 RSV models 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.
Support 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 ope-
ning/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.

Mechanical installation
Exodraft products must always be installed by properly qualied personnel and according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Transportation safety bracket
Do not forget to remove the transport safety bracket located near the impeller and check that the axial
vane/impeller turns freely, before mounting the fan on the chimney.

Installation onto a brick chimney
If the fan is to be tted on a brick chimney, please use the location brackets. See the installation guide
below.
Step Action Illustration
1 Measure the inside diameter of the brick chimney.
2
Then cut a hole in the mineral wool mat that
matches.
Note that there must always be a minimum of
20 mm of mat surface at any point around the
circumference of the hole.
If a temperature sensor is to be installed with the
chimney fan, cut a groove in the mineral wool mat
that is big enough for the sensor.
20 mm

3
Mount and fasten the location brackets to the
underside of the base plate by means of the bolts
and nuts supplied.
Please note that the bolts must be inserted from
beneath.

4
Adjust the distance between the location brackets
to t the inside diameter of the chimney, and then
tighten the nuts.
Note that there should be a 2-4 mm gap between
the brackets and the chimney in order to avoid
transmitting vibrations from the fan to the
chimney.

Place the mineral wool mat on top of the chimney.
It can be used with either of the sides facing
the fan. The chimney fan can now be lowered
into place (on top of the mat) with the location
brackets into the chimney.
IMPORTANT! Do not screw or bolt the brackets into
the ue pipe!

Use the safety wire to secure the fan to the
chimney. Apply the supplied screw and rawlplug
into the brick chimney. Then mount the wire
through the designated hole in the base plate and
into the wire lock.
Tighten the safety wire slightly and then tighten
the wire lock, so that the chimney fan is secured
when opened for service and cleaning purposes.
The isolation switch should be tted on the side
of the chimney, so it is easily accessible when
servicing the fan.
The armoured cable should be connected into the
underside of the isolator and up into the switch
via the cable gland.

• the nuts in the location brackets have been
tightened.
• the safety wire has been fastened to the fan
and chimney.
• the safety wire and the wire lock have been
tightened.
• the connection on the armoured cable has
been fastened. The armoured cable must hang
straight down from the fan.
• the chimney fan is securely closed.
• when opening/closing the fan, support the
upper part with your hand.
NOTICE! The end-user should be made aware of
the fact that the chimney fan must always remain
switched on when the replace/boiler is in use.

Installation onto a steel chimney
If the fan is to be tted on a steel chimney, the chimney fan must be installed with an approved ange.
See the installation guide below.
Step Action Illustration
1
The ange must be placed so that the spigot goes
into the chimney!
Measure the diameter of the hole in the ange.

20 mm of mat surface at any point around the
circumference of the hole.

that is big enough for the sensor.
Now place the mineral wool mat on the ange
(between the ange and the fan).

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 required
(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.
