Preparing the Fan for installation.

1. Remove the front cover by depressing the
latch on the underside of the cover and
pulling off the front cover from the bottom
(See Figure C).If working above ground floor
level, safety precautions must be
observed.

Mark the position of the back-plate

2. Hold the back-plate so that the level line
marked on it is orientated horizontally.

3. Carefully insert the fan tube into the wall duct.

4. Mark on the wall the positions of the fixing
holes in the back-plate.

5. Remove the back plate from the ducting.

6. Drill screw holes in these positions if necessary,
and fit wall plugs and screws as required.

If installing in a ceiling, appropriate
termination ancillaries are required.
& Follow instructions provided.

Mount the back-plate.

7. Push the ribbed gasket onto the duct
section of the back plate (see Figure D).

8. Push the larger diameter piece of the telescopic
wall tube onto the ribbed gasket. Cut the tube:
to the required size first if necessary.

9. Feed the mains cable through the cable
entry hole in the back plate to the terminals.

10. Insert the fan tube into the wall duct/ceiling
as before.
11. Fasten the back-plate to the wall/ceiling
using appropriate fasteners supplied. See
figure A.

12.If using screws, do not over tighten.
Mount the back draft shutter

13.Peel the backing from the foam strip
supplied and attach it around the outside lip
on the backdraft shutter.

14. Go outside. Holding open the top and bottom
vanes insert the lip into the wall duct.

15. Making sure that the back draft shutter is.
level, mark the positions of the two fixing
holes in the top right hand and bottom left
hand corners.

16. Remove the back draft shutters from the wall duct.

17. Drill screw holes in marked positions and fit
the remaining wall plugs.

18. Holding open the top and bottom vanes,
refit the back draft shutter and fasten
it to the wall using the screws. Do not
overtighten screws.

19. Make sure that the vanes open and shut fully.
Wire the electrical connections.

20. Make sure the mains supply is isolated.
Switch off the mains electrical supply and
remove fuses.

Fan Settings

SPEED SETTING
The fans are factory set to low speed, but have
two speed settings for different applications.
Select either high or low speed by connecting
the jumper between the centre and high or low
speed pin on the jumper (see Figure G).

DX100TR / DX100TS / DX100PIRR / DX100PIRS only.

To adjust the over-run period tun the control
(T) clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise
to decrease – see Figure F.

DX100HTR / DX100HTS / DX100HPTR / DX100HPTS only – see figures F and G.

The pre-set humidity operation is factory set
at approximately 75% Relative Humidity (RH),
but can be adjusted between 65% and 85%
RH by control H.
The over-run timer is factory set at 15 minutes.
but can be adjusted from 30 seconds to 30
minutes by control T.
Tum the controls clockwise to increase RH or
time and anti-clockwise to decrease.

Using the fan

DX100R / DX100S Only

Operate the fan using the on/off switch (not
supplied). Repeat to switch off.

DX100TR/ DX100TS Only

Operate the fan using an on/off switch (not
supplied). Note ~ the fan may take up to 10
seconds to tum on once the switch has been
operated. When the switch is turned off,
the fan continues to operate for the set time
delay. To adjust the over-run period, turn the
control “T” clockwise to increase and anti-
clockwise to decrease — see Figure F.

DX100PR / DX100PS Only

Operate the fan by pulling and releasing the
cord. Repeat to switch off.

DX100HTR / DX100HTS Only.

Automatic mode – The fan automatically
adjusts to slow changes in natural humidity
levels without operating the fan. If the
humidity levels increase at a rate slower
than 5% RH in 5 minutes, up to the pre-set
humidity level, the fan will not be triggered
by humidity. This is to prevent nuisance
triggering of the fan. If humidity levels
increase quicker than 5% RH in 5 minutes
the fan will operate. When relative humidity
drops the fan continues to operate for the.
adjustable time delay.
External operation – Use the external on/off
Switch. When the fan is switched off, the fan
continues to operate for the adjustable time
delay then goes into automatic mode.

The sensor detects movement in the room
‘and activates the fan. When movement is
‘sensed, the fan will run or a pre-set over run
period and any further movement sensed
will re-start the sequence. This ensures.
that the room is only ventilated during and
immediately after use. When the fan it fast
installed it will un for the time set by the
‘overrun timer. After this time, f no movement
is sensed the fan will go into stand-by mode.
