INSTALLATION

SITING THE TRANSFORMER (SELV Models only)

The transformer must not be installed in a shower cubicle or enclosure. It must be sited away from direct sources of water spray and out of reach (1.5m) of a person using a fixed bath or shower.
Site away from direct sources of heat. Ambient temperature range 0 ºC to 40ºC. Do not site in an area containing excessive levels of grease.
Decide where to site the transformer and fan and work out the required cable runs.

PANEL/CEILING/ INTERIOR WALL MOUNTING

Cut a 105mm diameter hole.
Loosen the screw at the bottom of the grille, and then remove the grille by carefully pulling away from the housing.
Mark the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw into position. Attach ducting as required for the installation.
Wire the fan as described in Section B-Wiring. Adjust any settings as required (see Section C-Setup).
After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely.
Replace the grille and tighten the retaining screw.

EXTERIOR WALL MOUNTING

For wall mounting cut a 117mm diameter hole through the wall and insert the wall sleeve. Slope the sleeve slightly downwards away from the fan. Where necessary cut to length and cement both ends into position flush with the wall faces.
Fix exterior grille into position with the louvres positioned downwards.
Loosen the screw at the bottom of the grille, and then remove the grille by carefully pulling away from the housing.
Mark the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw into position.
Wire the fan as described in Section B-Wiring. Adjust any settings as required (see Section C-Setup).
After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely.
Replace the grille and tighten the retaining screw.

WINDOW MOUNTING
For window mounting refer to the instructions provided with the kit.

WARNING : THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE.

IMPORTANT

The cross – sectional area of supply cord used should be ranged from 1 -1.5mm2.
The extraction fan or transformer (SELV models) is suitable for connection to 220- 240V 50Hz supply.
The Transformer (SELV models only) MUST be surface mounted to allow air to freely circulate around the unit. When installed in a loft void it MUST NOT be enclosed or covered with insulation.
The fan is a class ll double insulated product and MUST NOT be earthed.

Select and follow the appropriate wiring diagram. (Fig. 1, 2, 3, OR 4, 5, 6)
Check all connections have been made correctly and ensure all terminal connections and supply wires are securely fastened.
Ensure the impeller rotates and is free from obstructions.

SETUP

Accessing the commissioning menu
To configure the fan first remove the grille. With the grille removed the control board is visible (Fig.7). Do NOT isolate the fan from the power supply as configuration requires power to the fan; removing the grille will automatically stop the impellerfrom spinning.
Once the fan has been commissioned please write the installation date in the box on the label provided

IMPORTANT
Do NOT attempt to remove the circuit board cover (Fig.7). This covers the high voltage power supply, preventing the risk of an electric shock.

With the cover removed the LED display will show the commissioning menu. There are 3 buttons located below the display; these are used to control the setup process:
The + button is used to increase the value of a setting, the – button is used to reduce the value of a setting and the X (Mode) button moves to the next setting.

This setting rotates the display only; the buttons retain their original function. For example; the mode button is on the right when in normal rotation and on the left when the screen is rotated and looking at the fan so the display is correctly orientated.

Display : unl
Description : menu lock on or off. When locked a code is required to access the menu
Options : unl – unlocked Loc – Locked.
Display : cod
Description : Set the menu lock code. This is a 3 digit hexadecimal code, set between 0 – F.
Options : press up or down to start choosing the first digit then press mode to set and move to the next digit. Repeat to set the other two digits. Default override code is 999.
The table shows the settings available to commission the fan. They appear in this order. The available options and default position for each setting is also shown.

Settings

Installation selection
There are four different installation type settings, kitchen or bathroom and ducted or window/wall. The difference between bathroom and kitchen mode is shown above, the boost speeds are higher for kitchen applications. If the fan is installed in a ducted setup changing the fan to ducted mode will compensate for the reduced airflow due to the higher pressure of the system. During commissioning select the relevant setting for your installation.

Boost time
The boost setting allows the boost timer to be adjusted from 1-30 minutes, the default is 15 minutes.

Humidity level trigger
The humidity setting defines at what relative humidity the fan will trigger, adjustable from 50% to 70% rH.

Comfort mode
Comfort mode changes how the fan boosts. Normally the fan will go into boost as soon as an LS input is detected and over run for the set period when LS is disconnected. In comfort mode the fan will not boost until the LS has been on for 5 minutes, preventing nuisance noise. After 5 minutes of LS being on the fan will run in boost as long as LS is on and for the over run time after LS is switched off. If the LS is switched off before 5 minutes the fan will not boost. This mode does not affect the pull-cord operation, pulling the pull- cord will still activate boost.

Lock feature (Revive 5, Revive 7 & Revive Intermittent models)

The lock feature will prevent the unit from being adjusted after commissioning as a pass code is required to access the menu. This can be set in the menu to any 3 digit hexadecimal combination.
If the lock feature is enabled; when a button is pressed the display will show, – – –. At this point enter the three digit code by first pressing + or – until the first digit is correct then press MODE to move to the next digit. Repeat until the code is entered and press MODE to enter the commissioning menu. If the code is entered incorrectly, wait until the screen switches off thenpress any button to begin again

Setup example

Pull Cord Function

Pulling the pull-cord will activate boost 1, a second pull will enter boost 2 and a third pull will cancel the boost, returning the fan to trickle speed. The pull-cord can be used to cancel an LS activated boost, if the fan is in an LS activated boost pulling the pull-cord will first enter boost a further pull will return the fan to trickle.

Data Logger (Revive 5, Revive 7 & Revive Intermittent models)
With the fan powered up; upon removing the cover the display will automatically activate. It will display the commissioning options. Holding down the Mode button for 5 seconds will open the data logger menu. Use the mode button to move the display to the next data set.

Data Logger Menu
When the display is rotated the decimal point will no longer display; eg. 055 represents 5.5KWh

Data Examples

Returning to commissioning mode
A further 5 second press of the Mode button will return the fan to the commissioning menu.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE.

WARNING : THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING MAINTENANCE.

At intervals appropriate to the installation, the fan should be inspected and cleaned to ensure there is no build-up of dirt or other deposits.
Wipe the inlets and front face with a damp cloth until clean.
The fan has sealed for life bearings, which do not require lubrication.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The fan continuously runs in boost:
Cause:
The room is damp or recently redecorated.
The humidity set point is set too low.
Solution:
If the room is damp or has recently been decorated, it could take up to 2 weeks for the humidity levels to stabilise. Please leave the fan to dry out the room and after this period the fan should run normally.
The humidity set point could be set too low. Adjust the humidity set point to a higher setting. (Section C)
The fan does not boost when the humidity is high:
Cause:
The humidity set point is set too high.
Solution:
Adjust the humidity set point to a lower setting. (Section C)
Water is dripping out of the fan when installed in a ceiling:
Cause:
This is caused by condensation forming on the inside of the ducting and dripping out of the fan inlet.
Solution:
This is normal and the fan is designed to handle condensation buildup. However, a condensation trap connected immediately after the fan will help to prevent water dripping into the room.
