OPERATION

Upon power-up, the unit runs at the minimum continuous speed.
If humidistat or timer is activated, the unit runs at the intermediate speed.
If the external switch is activated, the unit runs at the maximum speed.
After the external switch is off, the unit continues to run at the intermediate speed for a period of time, then it returns to the selected minimum speed (or to the intermediate speed in case humidistat or run-on timer operation is on).

The functionalities can be set/enabled through the Dip Switches A and B on the electronic circuit (with disconnected from the main supply unit).

MINIMUM CONTINUOUS SPEED
Upon power-up, the unit runs at the minimum continuous speed settable from 0 to 58m3/h (i.e. from 0 to 16l/s) by means of the switches as per table Dip Switch A.

INTERMEDIATE SPEED
The unit runs automatically at the intermediate speed settable from 29 to 72m3/h (i.e. from 8 to 20l/s) by means of the switches as per table Dip Switch A.

The intermediate speed can be activated when either of the below conditions have been met:

• The humidistat has been activated;
• The run-on timer has been activated.

MAXIMUM SPEED
The maximum speed fixed, at 90m3/h (i.e. 25l/s) in through-wall or 72m3/h (i.e. 20l/s) in in-room installation, can be activated through external switch, remote ambient sensor or light switch.

INSTALLATION TYPE
Based on the selected installation type, the unit scales its speed (minimum, intermediate and maximum) to obtain the selected air flow rates.
