TYPICAL INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION NOTES.

The MULTIVENT range is designed for simultaneous ventilation for a maximum of up to four separate areas such as

bathrooms, kitchens and toilets. The range can be mounted in three different orientations for convenient installation

in roof voids with a height of 250mm or greater. An integral humidistat is provided to automatically trigger an

increased airflow in order to quickly remove any build up of humid air caused by showers, cooking etc.

The MVDCH(RF) employs a highly efficient backward curved centrifugal motor impeller set. The model is designed

for continuous 24-hour use and should not be used in conjunction with a delay timer.

HUMIDISTAT.

The humidity set point is adjustable between 60% and 90% RH with a mid point potentiometer setting of 75% RH.

Once a humidity level is detected above the set point value, the Multivent will initiate a fixed airflow boost cycle

depending on the initial speed setting of unit when the humidity rise was detected.

REMOTE CONTROL (OPTIONAL EXTRA).

Operation of the MVDCH(RF) model can be controlled with a hand held wireless transmitter, available separately.

The transmitter is switchable between low, medium and high (boost) speed operation. The default power-on speed

setting is low. The transmission signal will function over a range of at least 10m through 2 concrete block/beam

floors. 16 unique code selection features are available to match the transmitter to the Multivent receiver and so avoid

any possible cross talk between adjacent property installations.

It is possible to have more than one transmitter unit dedicated to a given Multivent unit and vice versa as the

installation dictates. Each transmitter is provided with a wall mountable holder.

SITING

The MULTIVENT may be mounted in three orientations.

a). Base mounted Installation with ducting radiating out horizontally. The Condensate Drain is on the opposite side

to the exhaust spigot at the base of the unit.

b). Vertically mounted Installation with the exhaust spigot at top. The Condensate Drain is opposite to the exhaust

spigot at the base of the unit. Additional drainage may be required from the duct connected to the bottom spigot.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the MULTIVENT, taking into consideration the position of the rooms to be ventilated, the exhaust

position, the drainage position and the electrical services. Ensure there is adequate access for installation and

maintenance. Securely mount the MULTIVENT through the mounting brackets on the casing using the

appropriate anti-vibration mounts, screws, washers, rubber bushes etc.

2. Where the intake and exhaust ducts are to be connected to the MULTIVENT, remove the spigot caps if 125mm

ducting is being used. If 100mm ducting is being used, peel out the centre of the cap with a screwdriver as

indicated and leave the cap surround in position. To connect ducting to the base intake, use a suitable adaptor

attached using the 4 holes provided.

3. Ducting passing through an unheated roof void should be insulated. Ducting runs should be as straight as

possible and intake ducting should slope downwards from Under the lid. Connect ducting to the MULTIVENT

spigots and to appropriate ceiling terminations.

4. Select the drain spigot required, remove the “Knockout” and connect a suitable drainage system.

WIRING

WARNING: THE MULTIVENT AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED

FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING THE INSTALLATION / OR MAINTENANCE.

THE MULTIVENT UNIT MUST BE EARTHED.

1. Connect mains supply as (Fig. 1).

2. Check that all connections have been made correctly. Ensure that all terminal screws and cable clamps are

securely fastened.

3. The cable entry must be made using a suitable grommet or cable gland.

4. After performing the following set-up instructions, switch the mains supply on and check the system is operating

correctly.

HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT.

Adjust potentiometer to the required humidistat setting, Fig. 2. To increase the humidistat set point, rotate the

adjuster anticlockwise and to decrease the humidistat set point rotate the adjuster clockwise.

The Multivent reacts automatically to an increase in %RH above the set point value.If high humidity is detected, the

fan speed increases to medium for 30 minutes. At the end of this period, if high humidity is still detected, the fan

speed increases to high for 15 minutes. At the end of this period, if the humidity is low, the fan returns to its original

low setting, but if still high, the fan reverts back to medium speed for 30 minutes and so on.

OVER-HEATING PROTECTION

The MULTIVENT motor is fitted with Standard Thermal Overload Protection. This will automatically switch the fan Off

in the event of a fault condition.

If this occurs isolate the MULTIVENT, check for and remove any obstruction, leave for a short time for the motor to

cool before reconnecting. If this recurs, Isolate the MULTIVENT and call a service engineer.

c) Humidity Response :

The Multivent reacts automatically to an increase in %RH above the set point value and the manner in which this

triggers will increase airflow depending on the original speed setting, as follows:

Low Speed Setting: If high humidity is detected, the fan speed increases to medium for 30 minutes. At

the end of this period, if high humidity is still detected, the fan speed increases to

high for 15 minutes. At the end of this period, if the humidity is low, the fan returns to

its original low setting, but if still high, the fan reverts back to medium speed for 30

minutes and so on.

Medium Speed Setting: If high humidity is detected, the fan speed stays at medium speed for 30 minutes. At

the end of this period if high humidity is still detected, the speed increases to high

for 15 minutes and drops back to the original medium speed setting at the end of

this period.

High Speed Setting: If high humidity is detected there is no speed change. However, at the end of 30

minutes the boost time-out will automatically reset the fan speed back to low.

In all the automatic humidity operating modes, it is possible to override any humidity cycles in progress and switch

the fan to any other speed. However, if high humidity is still present, the unit will revert back to the appropriate

automatic humidity cycle operation.
