TYPICAL INSTALLATION

A. INTRODUCTORY NOTES

The MVDC-MS is an M.E.V (Mechanical Extract Ventilation) unit designed for simultaneous extract ventilation of

multiple areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and toilets. The MVDC-MS employs a highly efficient backward curved

centrifugal motor impeller set and is designed for continuous 24-hour use.

The MVDC-MS has 3 speed settings (Normal, Boost and Purge). Normal and Boost speeds are adjustable, whilst

Purge is maximum speed. To achieve these 3 speed selections there are 2 LS inputs.

The product will run at Normal speed unless the input from an accessory calls for a change to Boost or Purge speed.

For the MVDC-MS (437634A) the Boost setting is activated using a switched live supply (LS input). The other

remaining LS input can be used to switch the unit to Purge speed.

For the MVDC-MS H (443298) the Boost setting is activated by the internal humidity sensor.

The internal humidity sensor uses one of the two available LS inputs, the other remaining LS input can be used to

switch the unit to Purge speed.

The MVDC-MS H has the option to switch from Normal to Boost speed (in effect over-riding the internal humidity

sensor), this can be achieved by connecting an isolated switched live connection to the LS connection on the power

supply terminal block. This must be isolated by using, for example an Isolator Relay Control, Vent-Axia part number

442030, or similar.

B. SITING

The MVDC-MS can be mounted in 3 orientations for convenient installation in roof voids with a height ≥250mm.

a). Base mounted Installation with ducting radiating out horizontally.

b). Vertically mounted Installation with the exhaust spigot at top. The electrical connections must come out of the

bottom of the unit in order to maintain the water ingress protection.

c). Ceiling mounted Installation.

See the dimensional details below for the mounting hole positions.

-Spigot diameters are 125mm

C. INSTALLATION

To reduce the system resistance in your duct system, and therefore lower the speed, power consumption and noise

of the fan, please follow these instructions:

•Keep the length of duct runs to a minimum, particularly the exhaust duct run.

•Use larger diameter ducting rather than smaller.

•If you need to use flexible ducting, make sure that it is fully extended and not crushed, sagging or torn.

•Try to minimise the use of dampers by having similar length duct runs to the inlets.

•The bend radius, (measured to the inside of the bend), should be at least 1x the duct diameter. The larger,

the better.

•Avoid having any bends, filters or other obstructions within 250mm of the fan inlets and outlet.

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. Ducting passing through an unheated space should be insulated.

The MVDC-MS can be connected to either Ø125mm or Ø100mm ducting. Remove the blanking caps to

connect Ø125mm ducting. To connect Ø100mm ducting, peel out the centre of the cap with a screwdriver as

indicated on the cap and leave the cap surround in position.

Please note that the exhaust duct must always be Ø125mm ducting.

D. 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.

IMPORTANT:- Please ensure that the supply cable passes through the ferrite

Bead supplied, Use the cable tie supplied to retain ferrite in position.

A. MVDC-MS (437634A):

1. Remove the cover by undoing the four screws and lifting it away.

2. With the power off, connect a suitable mains power cable from a switched, fused spur to the power supply PCB.

Use the cable clamps and clip provided to secure the lead.

3. Ensure all connections are correct and that all terminal screws and cable clamps are securely fastened.

4. To enable the fan to switch to boost or purge speed when a light is turned on, connect the switched live

connection from the lighting circuit to one of the LS connections on the mother board.

5. The switched live output (230V) from any other switch or controller (such as a pullcord or push button switch,

humidistat or PIR detector) can be connected to the LS terminal instead of connecting to a lighting circuit.

6. Following these set-up instructions, switch the mains supply on and check the system is operating correctly.

B. MVDC-MS H (443298):

1. Remove the cover by undoing the four screws and lifting it away.

2. With the power off and using a suitable mains power cable from a switched, fused spur connect the Live and

Neutral to the power supply Terminal block and connect the Earth to the power supply PCB.

Use the cable clamps provided to secure the lead.

3. Ensure all connections have are correct and that all terminal screws and cable clamps are securely fastened.

4. To enable the fan to switch to purge speed (maximum speed) connect the switched live connection to the

‘Purge’ LS connection on the mother board.

5. The output (230V) from the internal humidistat PCB is connected to the ‘Boost’ LS terminal.

6. Upon installation it is possible that the humidity controller will make the fan run continuously until it has

acclimatised to the environment. As part of the installation process it is important to set/adjust the humidity

sensitivity to the desired position. The controller is already factory set to switch on at about 70% R.H.

7. To Lower the set-point use the enclosed adjuster to turn the adjuster ANTICLOCKWISE. This makes the

controller More sensitive.

To Raise the set-point use the enclosed adjuster to turn the adjuster CLOCKWISE. This makes the controller

Less sensitive.

8. Following these set-up instructions, switch the mains supply on and check the system is operating correctly.

To allow the MVDC-MS H to switch from Normal to Boost speed using the LS Input:

1. Connect an isolated switched live connection to the LS connection on the power supply terminal block.

WARNING: THE SWITCHED LIVE CONNECTION TO THE LS CONNECTION MUST BE

ISOLATED, FOR EXAMPLE USING AN ISOLATOR RELAY CONTROLLER, VENT-AXIA PART

NUMBER 442030 OR SIMILAR.

Speed Selection –

E. Commissioning

The speed and boost settings are fully adjustable via the potentiometers located on the front of the unit.

However, for ease of adjustment during commissioning there are 4 pre-marked settings to assist in speed selection.

As marked on the unit, the left hand potentiometer controls the ‘Normal’ speed, the right hand potentiometer

controls the ‘Boost’ speed.

USE THE BLUE POTENTIOMETER DRIVER SUPPLIED WITH THE UNIT. Turning the potentiometer clockwise

will increase the speed.

If a purge switch is installed this activates the unit at maximum speed.

Once the MVDC-MS is commissioned, apply white label over marked area containing ‘Boost’ and ‘Normal’ holes to

ensure the potentiometers are inaccessible and that the unit returns to an IP22 rated status.

F. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE.

This product contains a self-cleaning backward curved impeller that requires no servicing.

The fan has sealed for life bearings, which do not require lubrication.
