2. Your Safety
This guide is for the installation of the motor used in the Isodrive systems after the canopy/rangehood has
been mounted on the wall or ceiling. (Refer to canopy/rangehood unit installation manual).
NOTE: All PVC pipe and SteelFlex
™
ducting measurements are referring to inside measurements, unless
otherwise mentioned..
Motor Features
• Roof and wall mounting with IPX4 degree of weather protection.
• Super quiet, long vane, backward curved centrifugal fan.
• Airow is dependant on installation and the ducting used. Using a single 250mm SteelFlex
™
duct, you
should attain up to 3200m
3
/hr depending on the ducting installation. The use of a smaller than
250mm ducting would result in a loss of airow.
• Simple installation: The motor mounts onto a 250mm 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 eciency PSC type and rated at 150W costing around the same as two 70W light globes
to run.
• WARRANTY 10 YEARS return to manufacturer. Covers faulty manufacturing or components. It does not
cover normal wear and tear, chemical or storm damage etc. (see warranty card for more information).
General Notes on Installation and Use
This fan unit is designed to be installed using 250mm (ISD) PVC pipe as the initial connection duct to the fan
module, and is supplied with a 250mm (ISD) PVC pipe and 250mm (ISD) SteelFlex
™
(see page 17 for installation
details).
This fan is suitable for connection to multiple duct runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm
2
. When
installing, maximum 8 metres of the 250mm SteelFlex
™
ducting MUST be used and no more than 2 to 3 bends in
the ducting. Where possible SteelFlex
™
ducting must be extended suciently to present a smooth air passage
with bends of at least the radius of twice the diameter of the duct. Excessive bends in the ducting will
compromised extraction.
WARNING: The rangehood 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. This will void your warranty.
NOTE: Fan module and SteelFlex
™
duct are acoustically matched. Use of semi-rigid or rigid ducting will result
in increased noise and may void warranty. See installation instruction notes ‘Why Schweigen SteelFlex
™
Safety Duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
Isodrive 3200 motor, recommended 4 to 6 metres of SteelFlex
™
ducting and with at least two bends.
NOTE: Although less than 4 to 5 metres will increase extraction power this may result in a higher air noise
level. Maximum duct length 8 metres (use 250mm ducting), however please be aware that increasing the
duct length above 5 metre will decrease airow. Check with supplier if longer duct length is required. Do
not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp bends.
Page 6
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 a oor or the ground.
Avoidance of Back Flow
Care should be taken to avoid the back ow of gases into the room from the open ue of gas or other open re
appliances.
Safety of Children
This fan is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons without supervision.
Replacement of Supply Cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualied person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Why Schweigen SteelFlex
™
Safety Duct
Schweigen SteelFlex
™
is an ultra-strong and exible high-performance safety ducting made
of Shirikon Firemesh
®
– a tri-layer tear-resistant UV-treated sleeve. Both are developed by
Schweigen – the Silent Rangehood specialists, for quiet and ecient high-volume transfers
of temperature-sensitive air. Engineered to enhance the health and safety of your home,
Schweigen SteelFlex
™
is antimicrobial treated, thermally insulated and acoustically dampened.
It is reproof, pest and crush proof with a treated surface that prevents the build-up of grease
and bacteria.
Schweigen’s unique Isodrive system works in the opposite way to conventional rangehoods, pulling air through
the hood and acoustically matched ducting, producing almost silent high volume ow. The use of a complete
rigid or semi-rigid ducting system will allow an organ piping eect to occur; like a didgeridoo where a noise is
produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is amplied out the other.
The Isodrive system places the noise outside the house.
WARNING: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended length of acoustically matched
SteelFlex
™
in the system will void performance expectations. Any installation problem 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, this may void warranty.
An experienced installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au or by

Roof Installation
Recommended duct length: 3200 motor — minimum 4 metres, optimal 4-5 metres.
Mount 250mm (ISD) rigid PVC pipe securely to beams, trusses or other appropriate structures: refer gure 1.
The pipe should be mounted vertically with the roof penetration being sealed using a Dektite or other appropriate
sealing membrane or device when installing through a metal nished roof. DO NOT install on a over lapping join.
Ensure that the PVC pipe protrudes a minimum of 50mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the fan
assembly clears the roof cladding at upper edge as shown in gure 1 — Roof Mount Option.
Pass power cord and plug through mounting ange and pipe, then out the slotted PVC pipe for connection to the
socket coming from the canopy/rangehood. Refer to gure 1.
Do not insert plug into socket outlet or switch on until installation has been completed. Fit fan module to pipe and
x in position using side locking screw.
Certain external installation congurations may cause audible levels of noise to be heard due to the air being
expelled from the motor. To minimize external noise disturbance you can use between 4 to 8 metres of SteelFlex
™
duct to place the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.
Please be aware that the 3200 motor is capable of expelling air at 3200m
3
/hr.
For more information on environmental noise limit and conditions please contact your local Council. We have a list
of experienced installers available on the Schweigen website.
Do not install the SteelFlex
™
in a straight line and minimum of two gentle bends in the ducts is required.
