2. Your Safety
This guide is for the installation of the Isodrive motor system after the canopy/rangehood has been
mounted on the wall or ceiling. (Refer to canopy/rangehood unit installation manual).
NOTE: All PVC pipe and exi ducting measurements are referring to inside measurements, unless
otherwise mentioned.
Motor Features
• Roof and wall mounting with IPX4 degree of weather protection.
• Super quiet, long vane, backward curved centrifugal fan.
• Airow is dependant on installation and the ducting used. Using single 250mm ex duct, you
should attain up to 3200m3/hr depending on the ducting installation. The use of a smaller than
250mm (ISD) pipe would result in a loss of airow.
• Simple installation: mounts onto a 250mm PVC pipe for ultimate strength and allows for easy
Dektite roof sealing.
• Industrial quality motor and fan made in Germany and rated at 40,000 hours.
• Motor is a high efciency PSC type and rated at 150W costing around the same as two 70W light
globes to run.
• WARRANTY 10 YEARS return to manufacturer. Covers faulty manufacturing or components. It does
not cover normal wear and tear.
General Notes on Installation and Use
This fan unit is designed to be installed using 250mm (OSD) PVC pipe as the initial connection to the
fan module. The fan unit is supplied with a 250mm (OSD) PVC pipe, 250mm (ISD) exible duct. (See
page 10 for installation detail).
This fan is suitable for connection to multiple duct runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm2and
length up to 15 metres maximum (check with supplier if longer duct length required). Where possible
exible ducting must be extended sufciently to present a smooth air passage with bends of at least
the radii of twice the diameter of the duct.
WARNING: The rangehood must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space, where a build
up of grease can occur and become a potential re risk. This will void warranty.
NOTE: Fan module and dual foil exi-duct are acoustically matched. Use of semi-rigid or rigid ducting
will result in increased noise and may void warranty. See installation instruction notes ‘Why exi-duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
Isodrive 3200 motor, recommended 4 to 5 metres of exi ducting.
NOTE: Although less than 4 to 5 metres will increase extraction power this will result in higher noise
level. Maximum duct length 15 metres (use 250mm ducting), however please be aware that
increasing the duct length above 5m will decrease airow. Check with supplier if longer duct length
is required. Do not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp bends.

2. Your Safety
Minimum Mounting Height
This fan unit is intended for mounting at a minimum height of 2.1 metres (measured to the lower part
of the fan impeller) above a oor or the ground.
Avoidance of Back Flow
Care should be taken to avoid the back ow of gases into the room from the open ue of gas or
other open re appliances.
Safety of Children
This fan is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons without supervision.
Replacement of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualied person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Why Flexi-duct
Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully exible ducting. This may
well be the case with conventional rangehoods with internal motor rangehood but not with external
motor rangehood.
Schweigen’s unique Isodrive system works in the opposite way to conventional rangehoods, pulling
air through the hood and acoustically matched ducting, producing almost silent high volume ow.
The use of a complete rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will allow an organ piping effect to occur;
like a didgeridoo where a noise is produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is
amplied out the other.
The Isodrive system places the noise outside the house and it needs to be kept there.
WARNING: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically
matched exi-ducting in the system will void performance expectations. Any installation problem
must be reported to Schweigen. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee
direct to the customer. Schweigen takes no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation,
this may void warranty. A preferred installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website
www.schweigen.com.au or by calling 1300 881 693.

Roof Installation
Recommended duct length: minimum 4 metres.
Mount 250mm (ISD) rigid PVC pipe securely to beams, trusses or other appropriate structures: refer
gure 1. The pipe should be mounted vertically with the roof penetration being sealed using a Dektite or
other appropriate sealing membrane or device.
Ensure that the PVC pipe protrudes at least 50mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the fan
assembly clears the roof cladding at upper edge, refer gure 1.
Pass power cord and plug through mounting ange and pipe, then out the slotted PVC pipe for
connection to the female plug coming from the canopy/rangehood. Refer to gure 1.
Do not insert plug into socket outlet or switch on until installation has been completed. Fit fan module to
pipe and x in position using side locking screw.
Certain external installation congurations may cause audible levels of noise to be heard due to the
air being expelled from the motor. To minimize external noise disturbance you can use between 5 to 15
metres of exi duct to place the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.
Please be aware that the 3200 motor is capable of expelling air at 3200m3/hr.
For more information on environmental noise limit and conditions please contact your local Council. We
have a list of recommended installers available on the Schweigen website.

6. Flexible Duct
Flexible Ducting
Flexible ducting must be fully extended and cut to the required length upon installation. Maximum
fan performance will not be achieved unless the ducting is fully extended. Failure to fully extend
ducting results in a smaller air passage and lower airows. Incorrect installation may reduce airow or
increase noise levels. Call outs relating to incorrect installation will result in a service fee directed to
the customer. Schweigen will take no responsibility for problems caused by faulty installation. A list of
preferred Schweigen installers can be obtained from the Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au.
Please keep the exi ducting taut,
4 to 5 metres in length
NOTE: In shallow roof spaces
extend exi ducting horizontally

Shallow Roof Space
In shallow roof spaces, do not crush or kink exible ducting, as it will reduce air ow severely. 90
degree curve made of PVC or galvanise can be used as a substitute for the bend, refer to gure 5.

Important Note
Please do not crush or kink exible ducting, as it will reduce air ow and may cause noise to occur
through the system. Ducting needs to be kept taut at all times.

6. Flexible Duct
Securing Flexible Duct
Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5 metres. Flexible ductwork
can be supported by using gaffer or electrical tape. Provided that it does not restrict the internal
diameter of the ducting. Ducting installed looped over hanging beams should be installed in such
a manner as to ensure the changes of direction are gradual. Support of the ducting with the use of
hangers may be required, see option 2.
NOTE: Ducting should be kept taut at all times.

duct to the beam
Option 2
Support exible duct
by using hangers.
NOTE: Care shall
be taken to
minimize sagging or
snaking of the duct
between supports.
