3. Mechanical Installation
3.1 Positioning
The ventilator can be installed in many different positions. However, it should always be possible to open
the access door at least 80 degrees, and the locking bolts should always be accessible. Acceptable ventilator
positions are shown below in Fig. 3. Note that the ventilator motor can never point straight down as this could cause
condensation build-up around the shaft, which can shorten the product life.
Never install the power ventilator so the motor points down. This will shorten the life.
3.2 Floor or Roof Mounting
To minimize the transfer of noise and vibration the ventilator should be placed on a surface that is level, stable and
vibration-free. The ventilator does not need to be secured by any means. See Fig. 4 on page 7.Once the
installation location has been selected the support legs must be installed. For the standard position bolt holes are
pre-drilled so the legs should just be aligned and secured with the enclosed sheet metal screws.
For all other positions, the legs should be placed in a proper position and holes should be drilled prior to securing
the legs to the ventilator by means of the enclosed sheet metal screws. When placing the ventilator, make sure the
access door can open approximately 80°. See Fig. 5.
