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 flexible 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 sufficiently to present a smooth air passage with bends of at least the radii of twice the diameter of the duct. WARNING: The BRB700 must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space, where a build up of grease can occur and become a potential fire risk. NOTE: Fan module and dual foil flexi-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 flexi-duct'. Recommended Installation Distance For the BRB700 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. Page 5 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 floor/ground level. Avoidance of Back Flow Care should be taken to avoid the back flow of gases into the room. Safety of Children This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Replacement of supply cord If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Why Flexi-duct Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully flexible ducting. The use of a complete rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will cause 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 amplified 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 flexi-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.

Installation Three options for mounting the unit Please refer to page 12 (Figure 6) for back draft shutter fitment Mounting Flange 110mm PVC Pipe Roof Mount Option Ensure clearance 100 -- 500 Dektite Bell-mouth adaptor Slot option 20 min 20 min Eave Mount Option Wall Mount Option Min 90mm long PVC pipe Bell-mouth adaptor Electrical connection between rangehood and remote fan module To fan Vent Figure 1 The 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 figure 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 flange clears the roof cladding at upper edge as shown in figure 1. The maximum recommended protrusion is 500mm. Fit mounting flange, refer figure 1, to pipe using silicon sealant, then tape in position until sealant has set. Fit fan module to the mounting flange by placing in position, rotating clockwise to engage bayonet fingers and secure by screwing in locking screw (while holding fan module firmly in the fully clockwise position).

Installation 2. Eaves Installation After ensuring sufficient clearance exists for the mounting flange and ducting (figure 1), cut a circular hole 165mm Ø, maintaining adequate clearances. The eave sheeting must be reinforced. Pre-drill mounting flange recess (figure 4). If access to the eave space is restricted, before fixing the mounting flange to the eave, preassemble the mounting flange, PVC pipe, bell-mouth adaptor and flexi-duct, then feed up into roof space. Remember to run power cord through the assembly and out the slotted PVC pipe wall (figure 4). Fit the fan module to mounting flange by placing in position, rotating clockwise to engage bayonet fingers then secure by screwing in locking screw (while holding fan module firmly in the fully clockwise position). Roof Frame/Truss 150mm Ducting Ensure that one of the three bayonet fingers is accessible for securing locking screw Bell-mouth Adaptor Roof Cladding Top Plate Eaves Please refer to page 12 (Figure 6) for back draft shutter fitment Figure 4 Locking Screw Pre-drill mounting flange recess and secure to reinforced eaves sheet using #8 self tapping screws Wall Page 9 4. Installation 3. Wall Installation The installation should be similar to eaves mounting if access to the inside is limited, but if unrestricted. Refer to EAVES INSTALLATION and figure 5. Please refer to page 12 (Figure 6) for back draft shutter fitment Min 90mm long PVC pipe Bell-mouth Adaptor Min 20mm Flexible 150mm ducting NOTE: Ensure that power cord is fed through exit slot and is not allowed to double back restricting fan inlet Figure 5 Page 10 4.

Tape over flanges Fit flexi-duct over shutter assembly Page 12 Direction of airflow Part number: 150 MMBDSS Figure 6 6. Flexible Ducting 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 the ducting results in smaller air passage and lower airflow. Incorrect installation may reduce airflow and 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. Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. A preferred installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au. Please keep the flexi ducting taut, and 2-3 metres in length NOTE: In shallow roof spaces extend flexi ducting horizontally IMPORTANT Reducer 200 to 150mm Please do not crush or kink flexible ducting as it will reduce air flow and may cause noise to occur through the system. Ducting must be kept taut at all times. Page 13 6. Flexible Ducting Shallow Roof Space In shallow roof spaces, 90 degree elbow PVC joint can be used as a substitute for the bend. Page 14 6. Flexible Ducting 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. Option 1 Secure the flexible duct to the beam Aluminium foil tape or cable tie Option 2 Support flexible duct by using hangers. NOTE: Care shall be taken to minimize sagging or snaking of the duct between supports. Hanger Aluminium foil tape or cable tie Figure 9 Examples of securing ducting Page 15 7.
