Page 4

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.

• Airow is dependant on installation and the ducting used. Using single 200mm ex duct, you should attain
up to 1600m
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.

3

/hr. The use of a smaller than 150mm (ISD) pipe would result in a loss of airow and it is not

• Motor is a high eciency 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.

2

This fan is suitable for connection to ducting runs with a minimum inlet area of 22,000mm
metres maximum (check with supplier if longer duct length required). Where possible exible ducting must be
extended suciently 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.

and length up to 15

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 5

2. Your Safety

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 inrm persons without supervision.

Replacement of supply cord

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualied 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 eect to occur; like a didgeridoo where a noise is
produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the noise is amplied 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.

4. Installation

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 congurations 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.

3

Please be aware that the 1600 motor is capable of expelling air at 1600m

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 specied (refer to installation instructions) there
will be an increase in airow and noise levels as a result. This increase in airow can cause movement of air to
be heard through the system and inhibit the system to run silently.

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 airows. Incorrect installation may reduce airow 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.

6. Flexible Duct

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 gaer 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.

Option 1

Secure the exible duct
to the beam

Option 2

Support exible duct
by using hangers.

NOTE: Care shall be
taken to minimize
sagging or snaking
of the duct between
supports.
