1.0 SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The HS Series Fan is intended for use by trained,
certified/licensed,
professional Radon mitigators.
The purpose of this instruction is to provide additional guidance for the most effective use of the HS
Series Fan. This instruction should be considered as a supplement to
EPA/Radon Industry standard
practices
, state and local building codes and state regulations. In the event of a conflict, those codes,
practices and
regulations take precedence over this instruction.
1.2 ENVIRONMENTALS
The HS Series Fan is designed to perform year-round in all but the harshest climates without additional
concern for temperature or weather. For installations in an area of severe cold weather, please contact
RadonAway for assistance. When not in operation, the HS Series Fan should be stored in an area where
the temperature is never less than 32 degrees F. or more than 100 degrees F. The HS Series Fan is
thermally protected such that it will shut off when the internal temperature is above 104 degrees F.
Thus if the HS Series Fan is idle in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds this shut off, it will
not restart until the internal temperature falls below 104 degrees F.
1.3 ACOUSTICS
The HS Series Fan, when installed properly, operates with little or no noticeable noise to the building
occupants. There are, however, some considerations to be taken into account in the system design and
installation. When installing the HS Series Fan above sleeping areas, select a location for mounting
which is as far away as possible from those areas. Avoid mounting near doors, fold-down stairs or other
uninsulated structures which may transmit sound. Insure a solid mounting for the HS Series Fan to
avoid structure-borne vibration or noise.
The velocity of the outgoing air must also be considered in the overall system design. With small
diameter piping, the "rushing" sound of the outlet air can be disturbing. The system design should
incorporate a means to slow and quiet the outlet air. The use of the RadonAway Exhaust Muffler, p/n
2400

, is strongly recommended.
