The name and specifications are stated on the label on the unit used. The fan design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.
WARNING! The decorative front panel must be purchased separately.

OPERATION GUIDELINES

The fan is connected to 220-240 V, 50 Hz, and 220 V, 60 Hz or 12 V/50 Hz single-phase AC power mains depending on the model, and is designed for continuous operation without disconnection from the electric mains. Ingress protection rating against access to hazardous parts and water ingress is IP24.
The fan is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging from +1°C to +40 °C.
The unit is rated as a Class II (220-240 V, 50 Hz/220 V, 60 Hz) or Class III (12 V/50 Hz) electrical appliance.

****DO NOT USE A METAL SCREWDRIVER, KNIFE, ETC. FOR ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS NOT TO DAMAGE THE 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
