MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Installation must be completed by competent persons, in accordance with good industry practice and should conform to all governing and statutory bodies i.e. IEE, CIBSE, etc.
The unit comprises a full-length access cover, to reveal filter and fans and is supplied with outlet spigot fitted and ‘knockouts’ to be removed at the chosen inlet positions.
Prepare the unit for installation by removing the access cover, all internal packaging and the fan assembly (supplied loose in the box). Replace the unit cover and knock out the chosen inlet spigot points and fit the matching spigots.
Ensure that all electrical and ducting services are compatible to the installation and the desired control function.
Ensure transit packing pieces A & B are removed before applying power to unit.

Unit Mounting Bracket

Select a solid non-reverberant mounting position, remove the unit support bracket and fix the bracket to the chosen structure with appropriate anchor bolts or screws.
The fan can be installed using the integral mounting bracket supplied (Figure 4). Offer the unit to the bracket as shown and secure into position with the one point-fixing bolt. Connect inlet and outlet ducting.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Offer the single phase supply wiring, 230V switched live wire and the wires of any externally installed sensors or controls via the case side grommets.

• To ease electrical connection, remove the six-way termination block.
• The mains wiring must be from a fixed wiring installation and both mains and switched live must be connected via a common local isolator.
• The earth wire must be connected to the earth post provided and not to the six-way termination block.
• Refer to remote sensor data sheets for their installation and connection.

Wiring Diagrams

Full Speed Only

Trickle Vent / Boost and Timed Overrun Motor Plate Assembly Replacement

Remove the cover and withdraw the ‘V’ shape filter from the case. Lift out the loose blower assembly, remove the two motor retaining screws (A) which will be used to fix the motor plate into position.
Tilting the top of the mounting plate forwards, locate the bottom of the plate into the channel provided in the case (C). Swing up the motor flush with the plenum (B) and secure with the two fixing screws (A). Expand ‘V’ shape filter and fit into case.
Finally locate the control module into the blowers’ moulded guides and push the module in to the terminal block, ensuring that spade connections are engaged. Connect the motor plugs and remote status indicators (if used) to the sockets in the control module.
Turn on mains power and test run the unit.

CONTROLS

All the control functions and adjustments are located on the electronic control module. An adjusting tool is provided clipped to the blower casing.

Run-On Timer (A)
The overrun feature is only active when the fan is connected to a switched live as in wiring diagram 4 on page 2. The overrun time is factory set at zero, fully anti clockwise and can be adjusted up to thirty minutes by turning the adjustment clockwise. Test by activating/deactivating the switched live circuit.

Full (MAX) Speed (B)
The full/MAX speed is factory set at 100%, fully clockwise and can be adjusted down to 50% (fully anti clockwise) by adjusting the setting screw anti clockwise with the setting tool supplied.

Low (MIN or Trickle) Speed (B)
The low or trickle speed is factory set at zero, fully anti-clockwise and can be adjusted upwards to a maximum of 50% speed by turning the adjusting screw clockwise with the setting tool supplied.
The fan must be wired as diagram 5 on page 2 and activated via the switched live for the trickle (low speed) to boost (max speed) to be operative.

Optional External Sensors and Controls

MAINTENANCE

Before removing covers ensure that all electrical services (including the switched live) are fully isolated from the mains supply.
It is important that maintenance checks are recorded and that the schedule is always adhered to, in all cases, the previous report should be referred to.
Maintenance should only be completed by competent persons in accordance with good industry practice and should conform to all governing and statutory bodies i.e. IEE, CIBSE, COHSE, HVCA etc.
The fan should be examined three months after commissioning and, dependent on the level of contamination present, at six monthly intervals thereafter.
Remove the filter and wash in tepid water with a mild detergent added, shake out excess water and allow to dry naturally. Do no replace until dry.
Remove the blower assembly as Figure 7. Inspect all parts and take care to retain all control settings, with a brush or dry cloth remove all dirt and debris from the fan plate and case, lightly brush away all dirt and debris from the fan assembly. Reassemble the unit and test/run.
