**

Description and use

The product you have purchased is an axial centrifugal aspirator used to ventilate rooms with single channel exhaust. The product avoids traditional installations inside rooms, avoids air return when the unit is off, and softens room noise as it is installed outside the wall.

IMPORTANT: The unit is able to develop 3 ventilation speeds, as it is already equipped with suitable condensers. Operating speed control is designated to pairing with an appropriate 3-speed selector. For further information regarding the control device, see the “Wiring diagrams” paragraph.

These appliances are designed for use in residential and commercial properties.
Fans have been designed to be mounted on external walls.
