- The extractor can expel air directly outdoors or through dedicated channels (max. 400 mm if the certified performance is to be guaranteed). The extractor loses effect if it is installed in a channel system with strong resistance.
- The appliance cannot be used to control water heater switches, heaters, etc.; neither must it expel air into the hot air ducts of such appliances.

- Motor carrier and front panel, made of ABS thermoplastic, impact resistant and anti-UV resin;
- Mixed flow rotor made of PP, designed for high performance, low power consumption and low noise emissions;
- Motor with shielded poles, equipped with ball bearings and fitted with a thermal fuse
- PCB (TH models).
Installation
N.B. Whatever the orientation of the appliance, the non-return valve must always be in a vertical position (Fig. 8, 9).
N.B. If the non-return valve should come out of place and/or split into its halves, it will be possible to reposition it as shown in Fig. 9a, 9b.
Timer settings (TH models)
There is a trimmer on the PCB which can be used to adjust the duration of the
switch-off delay time (how long the fan runs after being switched off with an
external switch or built-in humidity sensor). Can be adjusted from 3 to 20
minutes. Factory set to 3 minutes (Fig. 14).
Use
STD models
This appliance is operated by switching it on using the power switch.
TH models
The appliance features a relative humidity sensor which is factory set at 60%.
When the relative humidity exceeds that level, the appliance automatically
starts up. This threshold setting can be modified by the installer to 4
levels: 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% (fig. 14) The circuit is also equipped with a
switch-off delay timer that can be adjusted to settings between approx. 3 and
20 minutes by means of the trimmer (see fig. 14). The unit switches on
automatically a few seconds after a external switch is switched on and
continues to run for the timer period after it is switched off or it has been
switched off with the integrated humidity sensor.
