sun. If desired, the angle of the panel can
be adjusted as the seasons change to
maximize sunlight captured.
Step 10
After the panel is adjusted to the desired
position, secure the cable to one of the
support arms using a tie wrap.
Step 11
After the cable is secured, seal the area
around the cable where it enters the roof
deck with exterior grade silicone sealant
to keep water from entering the attic
around the cable.
Step 12
Locate the cable in the attic and drape the
cable from rafter to rafter and connect to
the cable from the fan. Secure any excess
cable to the rafters with tie wires or
coaxial staples.
Remote Panel Mounting for Tile or
Metal Roofs
Step 1
Determine the
location of the
contact points by
positioning the
panel in the desired
area. For Spanish
mount on at
tile roofs, i nd a
least 2 tiles
position with as
much surface area
coming in contact
with the bottom of
the panel as possible.
The panel must be
mounted on at least
2 rows of tile as
shown. (Figures 39
and 40)
Step 2
Apply enough roof
tile adhesive to
the underside of
the base to i rmly
secure the panel to
the surface. Both
surfaces should be
dry and free of any
dirt or solvents.
(Figure 41)
Step 3
The panel can be
tilted into 2 positions
with the adjustment
arm, choose the best
reinstall
screw A
angle and reinstall
the adjusting screws
(screw A). (Figure 42)
Installing an Additional
Solar Panel (Optional)
Depending on the location of the primary
solar panel, you may wish to add an
additional solar panel to increase the
amount of time the fan is powered by
solar energy throughout the day.
For these situations, consider the
VentSure Additional Solar Panel Kit,
available through your building materials
supplier.
