3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Automatic Operation

• Thermostat: The fan will activate when the attic temperature exceeds the set threshold, expelling hot air and drawing in cooler air from outside.
• Humidistat: The fan will also activate if the attic humidity level rises above the set threshold, helping to reduce moisture buildup which can lead to mold and mildew.
• The unit is designed to run on 12 Volts (DC) provided by its solar power source.

Refer to the control module for specific dial settings for temperature and humidity thresholds. Adjust these settings according to your climate and attic ventilation needs.

• Annual Inspection: Periodically inspect the vent for any debris, leaves, or obstructions that might impede airflow. Carefully remove any blockages.
• Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior of the unit with a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water.
• Structural Check: Ensure the unit remains securely fastened to the roof and that there are no signs of damage to the flashing or sealant around the base.
