3. General
This manual is for the installation of the motor systems use for bathroom and general extraction.
Motor Features
• Universal mounting all position with IPX4 degree of weather protection
• Patented anti water intrusion system.
• Acoustic dome with super quiet, long vane, backward curved centrifugal fan.
• Airow is dependant on installation and the ducting used.
• Using a single 150mm exi duct run you should attain 600m3/hr depending on the ducting installation.
• The use of a smaller 125 ducting would result in a loss of airow.
• Simple installation: - Mounts onto a 100mm 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 eciency PSC type and rated at 62W.
• WARRANTY 5 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 100mm PVC pipe as the initial connection duct to the fan module,
and is supplied with a 100mm PVC pipe to 150mm exible duct bell-mouth adaptor.
This fan is suitable for connection to multiple duct runs with a minimum inlet area of 11,000 mm². Ducting runs
should be more than 2 metres away from the unit and no more the 4-5 metres (check with supplier if longer
duct length required). Flexible ducting must be extended suciently to present a smooth air passage with
bends of at least the radii of twice the diameter of the duct.
WARNING: The BRW600 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.
NOTE:Fan module and dual foil exi-duct are acoustically matched. The use of semi-rigid or rigid ducting will
result in increased noise levels and void the warranty. See installation instruction notes ‘Why exi-duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
For the BRW600 motor system, a minimum of 2-3 metres is recommended.
NOTE: Installation closer than these distances will result in higher noise levels. Maximum duct length
4-5 metres. Check with supplier if longer length is required. Do not reduce the duct size at any time
and avoid sharp bends.

3. General
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 oor/ground level.
Avoidance of Back Flow
Care should be taken to avoid the back ow of gases into the room.
Safety of Children
This fan is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons without supervision.
Replacement of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualied person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Why Flexi-duct
Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully exible ducting.
The use of a complete rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will cause an organ piping eect to occur; like a
didgeridoo, where a noise is produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is amplied out the other.
The motor system puts the noise outside the house.
Warning: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically matched
exi-ducting will void performance expectations. Any installation problems 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. Faulty installation may void warranty. A preferred
installer list can be obtained from the Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au or call 1300 881 693.

Three options for mounting the unit
1. Roof Installation (Recommended duct length: 2-3 metre)
Mount the 100mm rigid PVC pipe securely to the beams, trusses or other appropriate structures, refer gure 1.
on the next page.
The pipe should be mounted either vertically or perpendicular to the roof cladding with the roof penetration
being sealed using a Dektite or other sealing device. Please note Schweigen do not provide any sealing kits.
Ensure that the pipe protrudes at least 80mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the mounting ange
clears the roof cladding at upper edge as shown in gure 1.
The maximum recommended protrusion is 500mm. Fit mounting ange, refer gure 1, to pipe using silicon
sealant, then tape in position until sealant has set.
Fit fan module to the mounting ange by placing in position, rotating clockwise to engage bayonet ngers
and secure by screwing in locking screw (while holding fan module rmly in the fully clockwise position).

2. Eaves Installation
After ensuring sucient clearance exists for the mounting ange and ducting (gure 1), cut a circular hole
165mm Ø, maintaining adequate clearances. The eave sheeting must be reinforced.
Pre-drill mounting ange recess (gure 4).
If access to the eave space is restricted, before xing the mounting ange to the eave, preassemble the
mounting ange, PVC pipe, bell-mouth adaptor and exi-duct, then feed up into roof space. Remember to run
power cord through the assembly and out the slotted PVC pipe wall (gure 4).
Fit the fan module to mounting ange by placing in position, rotating clockwise to engage bayonet ngers then
secure by screwing in locking screw (while holding fan module rmly in the fully clockwise position).
Ensure that one of the three
bayonet ngers is accessible for
