Page 5
2. Your Safety
This guide is for the installation of the Isodrive motor system after the rangehood has been mounted on the
wall or roof. (Refer to rangehood installation manual on how to install the rangehood).
NOTE: All PVC pipe and exi 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 single 200mm ex duct, you should attain
up to 1600m
3
/hr. The use of a smaller than 150mm (ISD) pipe would result in a loss of airow and it is not
recommended.
• Simple installation: The motor mounts onto a 150mm 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 135W 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.
General Notes on Installation and Use
This fan unit is designed to be installed using 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe as the initial connection duct to the fan
module, and is supplied with a 150mm (ISD) PVC pipe to 200mm (ISD) exible duct
bell-mouth adaptor.
This fan is suitable for connection to ducting runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm
2
and length up to 15
metres maximum (check with supplier if longer duct length required). Where possible exible ducting must be
extended suciently to present a smooth air passage with bends of at least the radii 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 warranty.
NOTE: Fan module and dual foil exi-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 exi-duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
Isodrive 1600 motor, recommended 5 to 6 metres of exi ducting and with at least 2 bends.
NOTE: Although less than 5 to 6 metres will increase extraction power this will result in higher noise level.
Maximum duct length 15 metres. 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 Flexi-duct
Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully exible ducting. This
may well be the case with conventional rangehoods with internal motor rangehood but not with
external motor rangehood.
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
exi-ducting 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. A
preferred installer list can be obtained from Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au or by calling
1300 881 693.

Roof Installation
Recommended duct length: 1600 motor — 5 to 6 metres.
Mount 150mm (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.
Ensure that the PVC pipe protrudes at least 50mm past the top of the Dektite, checking that the fan assembly
clears the roof cladding at upper edge, refer gure 1.
Pass power cord and plug through mounting ange and pipe, then out the slotted PVC pipe for connection to the
female plug coming from the canopy/rangehood. Refer to gure 4.
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 6 to 15 metres of exi duct
to place the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.
Please be aware that the 1600 motor is capable of expelling air at 1600m
3
/hr.
For more information on environmental noise limit and conditions please contact your local Council. We have a list
of recommended installers available on the Schweigen website.
Do not install the exi ducting in a straight line and minimum of two gentle bends in the ducts is required.

Wall Installation
This type of installation is similar to roof mounting, ensuring that the pipe extends at least 50mm past the wall
surface refer gure 2. If the pipe length is shortened, reproduce the power cord exit slot on the inside of the
wall.
IMPORTANT FOR 1600 MOTOR: Weather shield must be tted to the top cover of the side ange using
the 3 screws provided. Also, it is required to use the hanging bracket for wall mount installation, for more
information please refer to page 15.
NOTE: By decreasing the length of the exi duct from which specied (refer to installation instructions) there
will be an increase in airow and noise levels as a result. This increase in airow can cause movement of air to
be heard through the system and inhibit the system to run silently.

6. Flexible Duct
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 ducting results in
a smaller air passage and lower airows. Incorrect installation may reduce airow or 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. A list of preferred Schweigen installers can be
obtained from the Schweigen website www.schweigen.com.au.
Please keep the exi ducting taut, 5
to 6 metres in length with two gentle
bends in the ductings.
NOTE: In shallow roof spaces
extend exi ducting horizontally

Securing Flexible Duct
Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5 metres. Flexible ductwork can be
supported by using good quality gaer or aluminium foil 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.
