The ECOAIR LC is suitable for wall or ceiling mounting and can either discharge directly to the outside or via an individual ducting system (see Fig. 2).
- Make a hole in the wall or ceiling of diameter 105 mm.
- If the unit is to be installed with indi- vidual ducting, use a standard duct of diameter 100 mm.
- Remove the front grille (1) and the protection cover (2).
- The unit can be mounted on the wall or ceiling using the 4 rubber blocks and the screws provided.
- Ensure that there are no obstructions to the airflow and that the impeller turns freely.
- Introduce the mains cable through the cable entry (5) and fix it to the wall. Connect the electrical wiring as set out below and then mount the protection cover and the front grille.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- The EcoAIR LC is an extractor de- signed for a single phase supply, with voltage and frequency as indicated on the rating plate of the unit.
- The units are manufactured with double electri- cal insulation (Class Il) and thereforethey do not need an earth connection.
- The electrical installation must in- clude a double pole switch with a con- tact clearance of at least 3 mm.
- The electrical cable must enter the EcoAIR LC through the cable entry (5). Once the cable has been introduced proceed using the electrical wiring dia- gram applicable to the selected model.
OPERATION
The EcoAIR LC is an extractor designed to operate continuously at low speed (adjustable) with the possibility to be connected in high speed (fixed)through, depending on the versions, an external switch live or light switch (S, T and H versions) or the humidistat built (H and M versions) or the in- ternal pull cord switch (M version) or the PIR detector (D version). The extractor can also be used for in- termittent operation with adjustable speed at installation.
In both cases the speed setting is done when installing the extractor, with the potentiometer (7) placed on the electronic PCB (fig. 1).
Up to 10 meters of duct, the EcoAlR will give:
- Around 15 mh on position «Min.»
- Around 30 m’/h on position «Med.»
- Around 45 m’/h on position «Max.»
The selection between continuous operation and intermittent operation is done with the dip-switch 9:
- Continuous operation: ON
- Intermittent operation: OFF
ATTENTION : In intermittent operation, mount the backdraft shutter on the fan outlet.
ECOAIR SLC
- Continuous operation only on trickle setting (Fig. 3). Once the air volume set the fan is connected to the mains and the unit will operate continuously at this air volume.
- Continuous operation on trickle with ability to boost at high speed. The EcoAIR SLC is connected to an external switch or light switch. When the switch is closed, the fan runs at full speed until the switch opens again (light off):
- Fig.4a – Wiring diagram to boost the fan with the light switch.
- Fig.4b – Wiring diagram to boost the fan with a separate switch.
- Intermittent operation: The extrac- tor runs at the pre-set speed when the switch is closed:
- Fig.4a – Wiring diagram to switch on the fan with the light switch.
- Fig.4b – Wiring diagram to switch on the fan with a separate switch.
Start-up timer function:
In this operation, the “start-up timer function” allows to delay the extractor
start-up for a period of 50 seconds. So that, for example, the fan does not
switch on if the usage time of the bathroom is less than 50s. If you exceed
the 50s, the fan switches on, and when the light switches off, runs the time
set by the timer.
This function is selected with the dip-switch 8.
EcoAIR TLC
This model is provided with an adjustable over-run timer. The selection of the
run on time is done with the dip-switches 6 and 7: setting between 1, 5, 15
and 30 minutes.
Factory setting : 1 minute
- Continuous operation: The timer allows the fan to continue to operate at high speed for the selected period after the switch has been turned off.
- Fig.4a – Wiring diagram to boost the fan with the light switch.
- Fig.4b – Wiring diagram to boost the fan with a separate switch.
- Intermittent operation: The timer allows the fan to continue to operate for the selected period after the switch has been turned off (fig.4a and 4b].
Start-up timer function:
In this operation, the “start-up timer function” allows to delay the extrac-
tor start-up for a period of 50 sec- onds. So that, for example, the fan does
not switch on if the usage timeof the bathroom is less than 50s. If you exceed
the 50s, the fan switch- es on, and when the light switches off, runs the time
set by the timer.
This function is selected with the dip-switch 8.
EcoAIR HLC
Models provided with an electronic humidistat which can be adjusted from 60%
to 90 % RH (relative hu- midity) and with a timer, adjustable between 1 and 30
minutes. The selection of desired humidity level is done with the dip-switches
4 and 5: setting between 60, 70, 80 and 90 %RH.
The selection of the run on time is done with the dip-switches 6 and 7: setting between 1, 5, 15 and 30 minutes.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
- Automatic operation (fig.3): the extractor is connected to the main supply with only two wires. The extractor operates continuously at the setting trickle speed. When the humidity level in the room is higher than the set level the fan is boosted to high speed. When the humidity drops below the selected level and after the selected period set on the timer the fan automatically returns to trickle.
- Automatic operation with the facility to override the hygrostat and makes the extractor to run in boost by means of an external switch (fig.4a) or the light switch (fig.4b), when the humidity level in the room is lower than the selected level. In this case, the extractor operates in high speed for the selected period set on the timer after the switch light has been switched off, and then goes back in low speed unless the humidity level exceeds the set point.
ATENTION : When the humidity rate is above the selected value, the auto- matic option takes precedence over the manual.
Specific recommendations
- If the humidity is always above 90% RH, the fan will always run at full speed.
- If the humidity in the room is always less than 60%, the fan will only operates at trickle speed when run- ning in automatic operation.
If the fan never runs at boost:
- The setting of the humidistat is to the maximum. Change the setting
- The level of humidity in the room is below 60% RH.
If the fan always runs at boost:
- The setting of the humidistat is to the minimum. Change the setting
- The level of humidity in the room is above 90% RH.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Automatic operation
The extractor is connected to the main supply with only two wires (fig.3). The
humidistat causes the extractor to operate automatically when the hu- midity
level in the room is higher than the set level. The extractor will stop
automatically when the humidity drops below the selected level (-5% or +10%
and after the selected period set on the over-run timer.
“Interval” functions
This function is useful when the extract fan is installed in very wet (near
the seal or the ambiance exceeds the set level for a very long time. To
prevent the fan to run for hours without stopping, the “Interval” function
allows the fan to switch off automatically one hour after it began to run. The
extractor keeps switched off during the set time for interval function. Ifthe
humidity level is still above the set level when the time interval is over.
the extract fan switches on again and run during one hour.
When, on the contrary, the extract fan never switches on because the humidity level is always very low or it is improperly installed (above heating appliance, behind a door, in an area with no air movement) putting the 1 dipswitch interval function to position “ON”, the fan switches on automatically during 1 hour and then it keeps switched off during the set time for interval function. This function causes the fan to run whatever the humidity level.
To select this function put the dip-switch 1 to position “ON”.
To adjust the pre-set time for the interval function, use the dip switches 2 and 3.
Automatic operation with an external switch to override the extractor is connected to the main supply with three wires (fig.4a y 4b). Operation as previous “Automatic operation”, with the facility to override the humidistat by means of the light switch when the humidity level in the room is lower than the selected level. In this case, the extractor continues to operate for the selected period of time lover-run timer) after the switch light has been switched off.
ATTENTION:
When the humidity rate is above the selected value, the automatic option takes
precedence over the manual and the unit cannot then be switched off using a
switch.
Start-up timer function
In this operation, the start-up timer function” allows to delay the extractor
start-up for a period of 50 seconds. So that, for example, the fan does not
switch on if the usage time of the bathroom is less than 50s. If you exceed
the 50s, the fan switches on, and when the light switches off, runs the time
set by the timer. This function is selected with the dipswitch 8.
This function is selected with the dip-switch 8.
ECOAIR MLC
EcoAIR LC version similar to the H model, is fitted with an internal pull cord
switch to operate the boost when the humidity level is below the set point
(fig.5). When switching off the internal pull cord switch, the fan continues
to operate at the boost the time set by the timer then runs at trickle speed,
unless the humidity level exceeds the set point.
ECOAIR DLC
Models provided with a PIR (passive infrared) detector (movement detected with
a maximum distance of 4 metres and with an adjustable “run on” timer (1 to 30
minutes). The selection of the run on time is done with the dip-switches 6 and
7: setting between 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.
- Continuous operation: The extractor operates continuously at the setting trickle speed. When the extractor detects a movement the fan is boosted to high speed during the selected period set on the tim- er and then automatically returns to trickle speed (fig.3).
- Intermittent operation: The unit starts automatically when a movement is detected and the unit continues to operate for the selected period set on the over-run timer (fig.3).
