ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT WITH END USER.

Air moving equipment may present mechanical, electrical or noise hazards. To minimize

risks associated with these potential hazards, it is essential that safety, installation,

operation and maintenance instructions are followed. Implementation of these

instructions should always be undertaken by technically competent personnel.

Potential mechanical hazards must be eliminated by guarding against access to the

rotating parts whilst the air moving equipment is operating. A range of guards are

available for this purpose from Vent-Axia.

Installation work, both mechanical and electrical, must be undertaken in accordance

with the safety and installation instructions before switching on the unit.

Maintenance work should not be attempted before first switching off and isolating the

fan and its control from the electrical supply and ensuring that it cannot be accidentally

turned back on again. It is essential to ensure that rotating parts have come completely

to rest before maintenance work commences.

Air moving equipment may generate unacceptable noise levels when in operation. It

may be necessary to take appropriate action to reduce sound levels. A range of products

are available for this purpose from Vent-Axia.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of this appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

IMPORTANT

1. All electrical connections should be made by a properly qualified electrician. The fan

must be sited and connected in accordance with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations,

BS7671 (U.K.), or the appropriate standards in your country.

2. DO NOT use this appliance when the following are generated or present: Excessive

grease or oil laden air, corrosive or flammable atmospheres.

3. When the fan is installed in a room containing a fuel burning appliance, the installer

must ensure that the air replacement is adequate for both the fan and the fuel

burning appliance.

4. If a fan is used to supply air into a room, the installer must ensure that the fan

intake is located at least 600mm away from any flue outlet.

5. Site away from direct sources of heat. Ambient temperature range:

MFQ35014 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ40014 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ45014 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ50014 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ40034 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ45034 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ50034 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ56034 -15oC to +45oC

MFQ56036 -15oC to +60oC

MFQ63034 -15oC to +55oC

MFQ63036 -15oC to +60oC

6. When installing unit, take care not to damage electrical or other hidden utilities.

7. Check the details on the rating label for correct voltage, frequency, speed, phase

insulation class and IP rating.

8. Select the correct direction of rotation for the fan. Remove the rubber grommet fitted

in the sight port next to the terminal box to view rotation. Three phase units require

a trial connection. To change direction of rotation, interchange any two phase supply

leads.

9. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all aspects of system design are

taken into consideration.

10. Due to the weight of units it is recommended that at least two people are involved in

the installation.

FAN MOUNTING

1. A duct mounted in-line fan. Short duct runs terminating close to the fan (i.e. within

1.5m) require suitable guards.

2. The fan can be mounted in a variety of ways and at any angle to suit the

application.

3. Plan the installation carefully, taking into consideration the safety points noted

above, before securely fixing the fan using appropriate screws, bolts, rubber

bushes, etc.

4. A range of accessories are available from Vent-Axia to assist installation including

flexible connectors, mounting feet, anti-vibration mounts and attenuators.

Suggested fan mounting using mounting feet and anti-vibration mounts.

GENERAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – THE FAN AND ANY ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE

ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING INSTALLATION AND/OR

MAINTENANCE. THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.

1. All electrical connections should be made by a properly qualified electrician.

2. All wiring and connections must be carried out in accordance with current

regulations.

3. To comply with safety standards, an all pole isolator switch with a contact gap of at

least 3mm must be fitted adjacent to the fan.

4. Remove the cover from the terminal box to expose the main terminal block and the

thermal protection block (TK). The thermal protection device fitted is an automatic

resetting type which must always be included in the circuit. For ducted applications a

manual reset is required, an ancillary circuit will be required with the TK switch

connected into the circuit. To comply with safety standards, this product must

be installed with Vent-Axia overload relays or controls.

5. Connect the power supply from the local isolator (via any appropriate controls if

fitted) to the terminal box via the supplied cable gland using between 4.0mm and

7.0mm diameter cable. Refer to the wiring diagrams and select the appropriate

connections for the fan, controller or other devices as being installed. If in doubt,

please ask.

6. CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal

cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device,

such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the

utility

7. Ensure that all earth connections have been made.

8. After making connections inside the terminal box, replace the cover ensuring that the

sealing gasket is in place. Also ensure that all cable gland nuts, grommets etc. have

been used correctly to prevent the ingress of water.

NOTES ON RUNNING

Before Connecting the power supply and running the Fan Check…

Are all links and wiring complete as per wiring diagram?

Are all fixings secured?

Are all relevant guards fitted?

Are all Circuit protection devices fitted?

Are all Terminal box covers and sealing glands secured?

Are all Earth connections secured?

Check that no hazard exists for persons in the locality of the fan. Switch on the fan and

check that the fan rotation is correct as per the direction arrows on the fan plate/casing.

If not, isolate power supply and check wiring. For three phase fans interchange of any

two phase leads on the supply will change rotation.

Check that the current (amps) taken by the fan does not exceed the current shown on

the rating plate.
