zehnder Unity ZCV3si Continuously Running Extract Fan Instruction Manual
Overview
The Unity ZCV3si is a continuously running fan that revolves around ‘one
product’, which has been designed to be flexible in application and to meet
the performance requirements of all ‘wet’ rooms within a dwelling.
Your Unity ZCV3si may have the following features activated:
- Intelligent sensing via the Smart Timer and Humidity technology (fully automatic integral delay / over-run timer and humidity functions) which monitor the homeowners’ environment.
- Delay-on-timer, set between 1-60 minute period.
- A ‘do not disturb’ night mode where your fan will not boost for a period of time upon activation of the light switch.
Note: These functions only affect the higher extract boost mode, your fan will continue to ventilate at the lower trickle mode.

Loosen retaining screw in main body cover and rotate anticlockwise to remove.
The unit can be installed on a wall, window (with separate adaptor kit) or ceiling mounted and ducted.
Wall Preparation
Ø = between 102mm – 117mm (to suit ducting dimensions)
Allow a clearance of 50mm from wall/ceiling edges around the fan.
Cut the duct to depth of the plasterboard or tiled wall with slight fall to exterior (Make provisions for cable).
Fill in any gaps with mortar or foam and make good internal and external walls. Make sure that ducting retains its original shape.
Ceiling Preparation
Cut an opening through the ceiling for the fan and electrical cable.
**X = 65 Ø = 105mm
**
Window Preparation
Cut circular hole within window pane.
- minimum Ø = 118mm
- maximum Ø = 130mm
See instructions with window kit for installation details.
Installation
STEP 1

I don’t think that my fan is worki | The fan is very quiet when the room’s |
light is off, but it is still extracting and working to provide you with
enhanced comfort If in doubt, remove the front cover to expose the fan. If
If in doubt, remove the front cover to expose the fan. If the fan impellor is
not rotating then contact your local installer.
My fan is running all the time| This is correct; it will run at a low speed
whilst your room is unoccupied to provide continuous ventilation
My fan is running faster and noisier| Your fan will automatically go into
“boost” mode when you turn the light on or if the Smart Humidity is activated,
when you have a bath / shower / generate steam via cooking
The fan will run at a faster speed which generates more noise as more air is
being extracte
My fan still runs faster and noisier when I turn the light off| Has the
bathroom light been left on for more than 5 minutes?
If yes, your fan has the Smart Timer activated and the fan will run at the
higher noisier “boost” rate between 5 – 15 minutes and it will then return to
the lower quieter continuous speed setting
Why can’t I turn the fan off| Your fan has been designed to ventilate the room
continuously (i.e. 24/7) to improve the indoor air quality and enhance your
comfort
How do I change my fan’s settings| Press button on fan
