2.0 Installation
WARNING – The fan must be isolated from the power supply during installation and maintenance. The fan must be earthed in accordance with the local regulations.
2.1 Upon receipt, the fan equipment should be visually inspected to check for any damage. Ensure that the impeller is free to rotate.
2.2 If there are any queries concerning the fan equipment, Elta Ltd should be contacted prior to the installation.
2.3 The fan must be securely mounted in the desired position to suit the application. The fan can be mounted on flat or inclined roofs with a maximum pitch angle of 15°.
2.4 Position the assembled roof fan unit onto the curb and secure to the timber sill with M10 coach bolts (not supplied by Elta), ensuring that fibre washers are positioned under each bolt head. It is advisable to drill pilot holes prior to fitting the bolts to prevent splitting the timber curb.
2.5 Check the details on the motor rating plate to ensure that the correct power supply (voltage, frequency and phase) is available.
An incorrect power supply will lead to permanent damage to the fan motor.
2.6 Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram. Ensure that all earth connections are made.
2.7 Means for electrical disconnection must be incorporated in the wiring installation in accordance with the relevant wiring and electrical regulations.
2.8 Precaution must be taken to locate the exhaust discharge terminal so as to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from the open flue of gas or other fuel burning appliances.
3.0 Start Up
3.1 Before power is supplied to the unit, check that the wiring is correct as per the fan connection diagram.
3.2 At initial start-up, check that impeller rotation and airflow direction is correct.
3.3 Check that the motor amperage draw does not exceed the nameplate rating.

4.0 Fan Maintenance
4.1 Inspection of the fan at least once every 12 months is recommended to ensure that the motor, fan blades, and supporting guards, are clean. Any build up of dust and deposits on the blades or guards should be removed using a non- abrasive cleaner.
4.2 All fastenings should be checked for tightness. In addition, all rotating items should be checked.
4.3 Bearings are of the ‘sealed for life’ type and will not need a detailed inspection.

WARNING – Fuses/circuit breakers are used to provide short circuit protection only. A starter panel with overload protection should be used to protect the motor.
Once the motor cools down the fan may start unexpectedly.
Only a suitably qualified and competent person may carry out maintenance after the electrical supply has been isolated.
