CIRCUIT BOARD
ELECTRONICS OPERATION ALGORITHM
The fan with the timer T is started after the actuation of the external
switch, e.g. the light switch. The control voltage is supplied
to the input terminal LT (ST). After the control voltage is off, the fan
continues to operate within the set time period adjustable
from 2 to 30 minutes by the timer.
The V and VT models are turned on and off by an integrated pull-cord
switch.
The fan with the timer and the humidity sensor H — the fan starts after
the control voltage is supplied to the input terminal S or if indoor humidity
level H exceeds the set point adjustable from ~60 % to ~90 %. After the
control voltage is off or the humidity level has decreased, the fan will keep
running within the time set by the timer ranging from 2 to 30 minutes. To set
the maximum humidity setpoint 90 % set the potentiometer to the Hmax
position.
To adjust the fan turn-on delay time, turn the control knob T clockwise to
increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the turn-on delay time
respectively. To adjust the fan timer time, turn the control knob T
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the delay time
respectively. To adjust the humidity set point turn the control knob H
clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the humidity sensor
set point..
CAUTION! The timer circuit is live! Disconnect the fan from power mains
prior to any adjustment operations. The fan delivery set includes a specially
designed plastic screwdriver for fan settings adjustments (only for models
equipped with a timer). Use it to change the turn-on and turn-off delay time
and the humidity set point.
DO NOT USE A METAL SCREWDRIVER, KNIFE, ETC. FOR ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS NOT
TO DAMAGE THE CIRCUIT BOARD
TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE
