used in a variety of locations including boats, conservatories,
green houses and garden sheds. It can be installed in wood,
glass, metal, polycarbonate or similar materials.
1. LOCATION
It is important to locate your SmartVent so that it receives the
maximum amount of sunlight possible, ideally facing the midday
sun and not in any shade .

2. INSTALLATION
If unsure how to fit the SmartVent yourself, consult a professional
installation expert.

a marker.

4. For added security apply mastic sealant between the guidelines
on the underside of your SmartVent. NB In glass we recommend
use of the large foam gasket without using sealant.
5. Place the product through the hole from the outside. In wood
or metal screw SmartVent to the surface with suitable No. 8 or
similar weatherproof screws.
6. Push the fixing ring up the barrel from the inside.
7. If sealant has been used wipe away any excess and leave to dry.
Your SmartVent should now be securely installed

3. OPERATION
The SmartVent is supplied in the open position, however you can
close the SmartVent to waterproof the product in severe weather
conditions. To fully close the SmartVent hold the centre ellipse area,
twist anticlockwise and pull towards you until it locks into position.
To open again, twist clockwise and push in until it locks into
position. The SmartVent is operated using the switches as
described below.
SmartVent 100:
To switch on, push the switch down into the on position, to switch
off, push the switch again and it will release to the off position.
In the on position the SmartVent will extract air when sufficient
daylight hits the solar cell.
SmartVent 200:
The SmartVent 200 has 2 switches, on/off and in/out. The on/off
switch works as described above. When the in/out switch is pushed
down the ventilator will draw air in, when it is released the
ventilator will extract air.
SmartVent 300:
The SmartVent 300 has 3 switches, on/off, in/out and boost.
The on/off and in/out switches work as described above. The boost
switch enables you to operate the ventilator at night or during
overcast conditions. The SmartVent 300 diverts some of the power
generated during daylight to charge an internal battery. The power
stored in this battery is then used to operate the boost function.
When the boost switch is pressed the ventilator operates for
approximately 10 minutes, if the switch is pressed again within the
10 minute operation time the ventilator will turn off. The number
of boost operations possible depends on the amount of power
stored during the day. When the on/off switch is in the off position
power generated by the solar cell is used to charge the battery. This
can be useful if you want to ensure the battery is fully charged for
night time or weekend use and you do not need the SmartVent
working during the day.
