Installation Pointers
When determinin location of the solar panel, consider potential problems such as objects shadin the unit durin certain
times of the day (southern exposure is recommended). To ensure proper ventilation, install the Gable Solar Fan so that it
covers the entire able openin .
Step 1 Choose location to install the able fan. The fan must be installed be-
tween studs in the able area. For proper ventilation, the fan unit must cover
the entire able openin . If the able openin is lar er than the fan unit
shroud, the excess openin must be blocked. DO NOT CUT ANY WOOD
FRAMING. From inside the attic, position the able fan (with the motor fac-
in the attic) to the desired location and secure the shroud with the
provided wood screws (see Fi ure 1).
Step 2 Locate area to install the solar panel on the roof where it will ather
the most amount of sunli ht (southern exposure is recommended). Attach
the L-brackets to the lon sides of the solar panel with the self-tappin (H)
screws into the pre-drilled holes on the panel frame. Attach solar panel to roof
usin the provided wood screws (see Fi ure 2). Caulk around the wood screws
to prevent leaks. FOR TILE ROOFS: Pre-drill hole in tile to accomodate the
anchors provided (I). Tap anchors into holes and secure L-bracket usin
provided screws (see inset).
Step 3 Use one of the followin two options for routin the power cable from
the fan to the solar panel:
OPTION 1: Route the power cable from the fan unit throu h the able
vent and alon the outside of the house up to the roof.
OPTION 2: Drill a small hole next to the solar panel on the roof. Route the
power cable from the fan unit throu h the attic and up throu h the hole.
Caulk around hole to prevent leakin .
Step 4 Connect the power cable from the fan unit to the power cable from the
solar panel. Connect the black wire to the black wire and the red wire
to the red wire (see Fi ure 3). If the power cables do not reach, use the
provided adapter cable. If wire connections are located outside of the attic
space, wrap the connections with electrical tape to prevent water infiltration.
Secure any loose wires usin wire staples (not provided).
