Product Description

The Flexit Classic Eco fan series is designed for the ventilation of wet rooms, but can also be used in other types of rooms. The fan is driven by a high-efficiency motor which only consumes 7.5W. Maintenance free bearings with a lifetime of up to 40,000 hours in continuous operation. The motor is fitted with overheating protection. Special motor vibration damping ensures very low noise levels. Fitted with a non-return damper which prevents cold air seeping in when the fan is not in operation. The damper can be easily removed if required. The fan series consists of a number of different models with different functions;

Classic Eco
Standard fan which is started/stopped via a switch. Connected as shown in Fig. 4.

Classic Eco TH
The fan is controlled by a humidity sensor and timer. The humidity sensor starts the fan at a pre-set humidity level. The timer controls how long the fan continues after moisture has been removed from the room. The timer also starts the fan when switched on via the switch and controls how long the fan continues to run after the power is switched off, irrespective of the humidity level. The length of time the fan continues can be adjusted between 2-30 min. The humidity sensor can be adjusted between 60-90% RH. Adjusting the humidity sensor and timer; remove the front cover. Open the cover as shown in Fig. 8. Rotate the adjustment screws as shown in the instructions on the fan. Use the plastic screwdriver attached to the fan, Fig. 7. Connected as shown in Fig. 5.

Classic Eco TM
With motion sensor and timer. The fan is started when motion at 1 to 4 metres is detected within the sensor’s 100° detection angle. The timer controls how long the fan continues after movements cease and can be adjusted between 2-30 min. Connected as shown in Fig. 4.

Classic Eco P
These fans are started and stopped using an integrated switch with pull cord. Electrical connection as per Fig. 4.

Always switch the extractor fan off before adjusting the timer and humidity sensor!
NB: When connecting fans with a timer and humidity sensor (TH), the fan must be connected to a separate switch as shown in fig. 5. If the fan is not connected via such a switch, the timer function will not work.

Installation

DANGER! Electrical installation must be carried out by an authorised electrician as shown in the wiring diagram.

For wet room installations, extractor fans must be connected to the mains supply via an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact gap of least 3 mm for all poles. The unit can be installed in bathroom zone 1 provided that the installation and wiring are in accordance with IEC 60364-7-701 and in accordance with the national standards of the country of installation. Models with pull cord switch (100 P) must be installed in zone 2 or 3.

• Ducts in cold zones must be insulated to avoid condensation.
• Ensure that nothing impedes the air supply in front of the fan.
• Ensure that the fan is not subject to any physical load.
• The fan must not be connected to a separate infinitely variable speed controller.
• Exhaust air must pass out through a separate duct.
• Avoid long sections of duct. A short duct straight out through the external wall produces the best results.
• The air must not contain solid impurities, adhesive substances or fibrous materials.
• Ensure that there is no free access to the fan wheel from outside by installing an external fin valve, grille or cover.
• Make sure the fan is securely attached to a firm surface, to avoid generation of vibrations.
• The fan must be protected against water penetration from outside and any condensation in the duct.
• If the vent pipe is vertical, there must be a branch to the fan, Fig. 2. A direct vertical vent pipe is not permissible, Fig. 3.
• Wall intakes must be protected with a fin valve, cover or grille.
• Any condensation must be able to run out so that it does not run into the fan from the rear.

Mounting

The fan must be fitted as high as possible to achieve the best possible results. Position the fan as high as possible above the shower head/ water source. All user’s manual requirements as well as the provisions of all the applicable local and national construction, electrical, and technical norms and standards must be observed when installing and operating the unit. The fan is double insulated and do not require a connection to electrical earth. The protection rating is IP45. The fan should be fitted as far from the fresh air intake as possible to achieve the best possible air through-flow in the room. Fresh air is supplied directly from outside through a wall ventilator or from adjacent rooms, i.e. through a grate or slot in a door.

1. Cut out a hole that is slightly larger than the diameter of the fan. Recommended hole opening, see Fig. 1.
2. Adjust a wall lead-through/duct between the exterior and interior openings. The wall leadthrough is to slope gently towards the outer wall to allow any condensation to run out.
3. Remove the front cover by releasing the snap fasteners at the bottom or top.
4. Hold the fan on the wall and mark the four screw holes. Make sure that the fan is straight. Install the fan according to the direction specified in the fan and Fig. 8.
5. Electrical connection must be carried out by an authorised electrician as shown in the circuit diagram, fig. 4 – 5. Make sure that there is around 25 cm of cable from the cable lead-in so that electrical connection can be carried out.
6. Connection point, Fig. 6, is accessed by remove off the plastic cover. The cable is fed through the rubber nipple. Make sure that the cover is re-fitted and that the gasket is correctly in place.
7. Fit the front cover by pressing it towards the fan until it is locked into position by the snap fasteners.
