5. Configuration et installation
Proper installation is crucial for the fan's performance and longevity. It is recommended to have this unit installed by a professional.
5.1 Sélection du site
- Choose a location on the roof that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
- Ensure the area is clear of obstructions like trees or chimneys that could shade the solar panel.
- Verify that the roof structure can safely support the fan unit.
5.2 étapes d'installation
- Mesurer et marquer : Measure the size of the inner circle of the fan base. Mark this diameter on your roof at the chosen installation site.
- Ouverture coupée : Carefully cut a circular opening on your roof according to the marked inner circle.
- Install Fan Unit: Place the fan unit over the opening. Secure the roof flange to the roof using appropriate screws and seal all joints with a waterproof sealant to prevent leaks.
- Ajuster le panneau solaire : Adjust the angle of the solar panel (0°-30° vertical) and rotate the base (360° horizontal) to face the sun for optimal energy capture. Tighten the adjustment rod to secure the panel's position.
- Brancher l'adaptateur secteur (en option) : If using the 110V AC power backup, connect the smart power adapter to the fan and plug it into a suitable outdoor-rated electrical outlet.

6. Fonctionnement
The voominhtec Solar Attic Fan offers both automatic and manual operation modes via the included remote control.
6.1 Fonctions de la télécommande
Figure 6.1: Layout and functions of the remote control buttons.
- MARCHE/ARRÊT : Permet d'allumer ou d'éteindre le ventilateur.
- Increase Speed (+): Augmente la vitesse du ventilateur.
- Reduce Speed (-): Diminue la vitesse du ventilateur.
- Timing Plus/Minus: Adjusts the timer settings (if applicable).
- Pair Code: Used for pairing the remote with the fan unit.
- Mode automatique: Activates the smart thermostat function.
Modes de fonctionnement 6.2
- Mode automatique : When selected, the fan's speed automatically adjusts based on the attic temperature. It activates when the temperature exceeds 77°F (25°C) and increases speed as the temperature rises.
- Mode manuel : Allows you to manually set the fan speed using the remote control.
6.3 Power Source Management
The fan intelligently switches between solar and AC power:
- During sufficient sunlight, the fan operates solely on solar power. The fan speed is determined by the intensity of sunlight in automatic mode.
- When sunlight is insufficient (e.g., cloudy days, night), the system automatically switches to the 110V AC power adapter (if connected). In AC mode, fan speed can be adjusted via the remote control.

7. Entretien
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar attic fan.
- Nettoyage des panneaux solaires : Nettoyez périodiquement la surface du panneau solaire avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may reduce efficiency. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection des pales du ventilateur : Annually inspect the fan blades for any buildup of dust or debris. If necessary, carefully clean the blades after ensuring the power is completely disconnected.
- Ventilation Opening Check: Ensure the attic ventilation openings (soffit vents, gable vents) are not obstructed to allow proper airflow.
- Vérification structurelle : Periodically inspect the mounting hardware and roof sealant for any signs of wear or damage. Re-seal or tighten as needed.
