NOTE: All PVC pipe and flexi 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.
- Airflow is dependent on installation and the ducting used. Using single 250mm flex duct, you should attain up to 3200m3/hr depending on the ducting installation. The use of a smaller than 250mm (ISD) pipe would result in a loss of airflow.
- Simple installation: 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 efficiency 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.
General Notes on Installation and Use
This fan unit is designed to be installed using 250mm (OSD) PVC pipe as the
initial connection to the fan module. The fan unit is supplied with a 250mm
(OSD) PVC pipe, 250mm (ISD) flexible duct. (See page 10 for installation
detail).
This fan is suitable for connection to multiple duct runs with a minimum inlet
area of 22,000mm2. When installing, 15 meters of 250mm flexi ducting MUST be
used and no more than 2 to 3 bends in the flexi ducting. Where possible
flexible ducting must be extended sufficiently to present a smooth air passage
with bends of at least the radii of twice the diameter of the duct.
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 fire risk.
This will void warranty.
NOTE: Fan module and dual foil flexi-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 flexi-duct’.
Recommended Installation Distance
Isodrive 3200 motor, recommended 4 to 5 meters of flexi ducting.
NOTE: Although less than 4 to 5 meters will increase extraction power
this may result in a higher air noise level. Maximum duct length 15 meters
(use 250mm ducting), however please be aware that increasing the duct length
above 5 meter will decrease airflow. Check with supplier if longer duct length
is required. Do not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp bends.
Minimum Mounting Height
This fan unit is intended for mounting at a minimum height of 2.1 meters (measured to the lower part of the fan impeller) above a floor or the ground.
Avoidance of Back Flow
Care should be taken to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from the open flue of gas or other open fire appliances.
Safety of Children
This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Replacement of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or suitably qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Why Flexi-duct
Some internet sites strongly recommend the use of rigid ducting over fully
flexible 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 flow. The use of a complete rigid or semi-
rigid ducting system will allow an organ piping effect to occur; like a
didgeridoo where a noise is produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe and the
noise is amplified out the other.
The Isodrive system places the noise outside the house and it needs to be kept
there.
WARNING: Installation without the use of at least the minimum recommended
length of acoustically matched flexi-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

Installation
Roof Installation
Recommended duct length: minimum 4 meters, optimal 4-5 meters.
Mount 250mm (ISD) rigid PVC pipe securely to beams, trusses or other
appropriate structures. 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 finished roof. DO NOT install on a
over lapping join.
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.
Pass power cord and plug through mounting flange and pipe, then out the
slotted PVC pipe for connection to the female plug coming from the
canopy/rangehood.
Do not insert plug into socket outlet or switch on until installation has been
completed. Fit fan module to pipe and fix in position using side locking
screw.
Certain external installation configurations 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 5 to 15 meters of flexi duct to place
the Isodrive motor in an appropriate position.
Please be aware that the 3200 motor is capable of expelling air at 3200m3/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.
Through Wall Installation
NOTE: Make sure that the connecting pipe is well supported, at least 2 mounting points recommended.
Twin 200mm Outlet Installation Example (3200 kit required)
This is for use where one motor is to be used and there are two 200mm outlets.
Optional Back Draft Shutter Installation Through Roof
- Cut 250mm flexible duct length to approximately 150mm to 200mm.
- Assemble by fitting shutter assembly into the ducting.
- Check to ensure the flaps close and open freely before assembling the bottom end of the ducting.
NOTE
Ensure the flaps open upwards before assembling ducting to bottom end of the
shutter system. If flaps open downwards, the assembly is incorrect.
Optional Back Draft Shutter Installation Through Wall
NOTE
Through wall installations flap shaft will be close to vertical and ensure
flaps open towards the fan unit.
Optional Weather Shield Installation Guide
Step 1
Remove Weather Shield (1 pc), P1128 Screws (2pcs) and P1128N Nuts (2pcs),
Weather Shield Mounting Bracket (5 pcs) and P1124 Hex Head Screws (15pcs) from
packaging.
Step 2
Remove plastic cover from Weather Shield and bend to form a circle. Fasten
P1128 Screws with P1128N Nuts at location shown.
Step 3
Place Mounting Brackets on to Fan Guard, and fasten 2 pieces of P1124 as
shown. Ensure orientation of Bracket is mounted as shown.
Step 4
Repeat Step 3 for the rest of the Brackets.
Step 5
Mount Weather Shield and align mounting holes with the Brackets, and fasten
with P1124 (5 areas).
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 airflows. Incorrect installation may reduce airflow 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.
Shallow Roof Space
In shallow roof spaces, do not crush or kink flexible ducting, as it will reduce air flow severely. 90 degree curve made of PVC or galvanize can be used as a substitute for the bend.
Important Note
Please do not crush or kink flexible ducting, as it will reduce air flow and
may cause noise to occur through the system. Ducting needs to be kept taut at
all times.
Securing Flexible Duct
Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5
meters. Flexible ductwork can be supported by using gaffer or electrical 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.
NOTE: Ducting should be kept taut at all times.
Option 1
Secure the flexible duct to the beam
Option 2
Support flexible duct by using hangers.
NOTE: Care shall be taken to minimize sagging or snaking of the duct
between supports.
