play with the appliance.

DESCRIPTION

The Response SELV fan is a continuously running extract fan for kitchens, utility rooms,

bathrooms and toilets. The electrical supply to this fan is 12V DC SELV from the mains

controller. This means that the fan may be installed within reach of a person using a fixed bath

or shower, i.e. in a nearby wall. However, for reliable operation, the fan must not be placed

where it could be submerged in water or regularly exposed to direct water spray, e.g. from a

shower head whether permanently fixed or movable.

The product incorporates an airflow detection system that detects the installation duct

resistance and maintains the correct fan speed to achieve the preset extract flow rate of either

6l/s, 8l/s or 13l/s, minimising energy use and noise (see Section C-Setup for more information).

The incorporated LED display allows the installer to verify the installed flow rate, and also

provides feedback for system pressure and days installed (for landlords).

The fan can be wall, panel/ceiling or window mounted.

B. WIRING.

WARNING: THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE

ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING THE INSTALLATION / OR

MAINTENANCE.

IMPORTANT

•The Controller MUST be surface mounted to allow air to freely circulate around the unit.

When installed in a loft void it MUST NOT be enclosed or covered with insulation.

•The cross - sectional area of supply cord used should be ranged from 1 -1.5mm

1. Select and follow the appropriate wiring diagram. (Fig. 1, 2 or 3)

2. Check all connections have been made correctly and ensure all terminal connections and

supply wires are securely fastened.

3. Ensure the impeller rotates and is free from obstructions.

C. SETUP

WARNING: THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE

ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING THE INSTALLATION / OR

MAINTENANCE.

1) Trickle speed selection (6l/s or 8l/s) – (Fig. 5) (TP & HTP models)

In normal running mode the fan can extract at either 6l/s (22m

/h) or 8l/s (29m

/h) flow rate.

The fan will boost to 13l/s (46.8m

/h) when the LS connection is switched or humidity rises

above the set point (see humidity setting below).

•Factory set at 6l/s (22m

/h).

•Remove jumper connector (JP1) if 8l/s (29m

/h) extract flow rate is required.

2) Airflow detection system – enable/disable (Fig. 5) (TP & HTP models)

The airflow detection system will detect the installation duct resistance and also react to

external wind conditions to ensure the fan maintains a constant extraction rate. This can

cause the fan to ramp up and down and in most applications will not be required. To turn this

feature on, complete the following:

•Push dip switch 1 (SW1) into the on position to turn on constant flow mode.

•Push dip switch 1 (SW1) into the off position to turn off constant flow mode.

(Factory set)

IMPORTANT – On first power up, the fan will run through its initialisation routine. For the first

15 minutes, the flow rate, pressure and day logger will be displayed. The fan may not be fully

functional until this is over. After the first 15 minutes, the fan will calibrate. See Fig.7 for the

calibration procedure. Once this is complete the fan will operate normally with the display off.

3) LED Display with prism (Fig. 6) (TP & HTP models)

For the first 15 minutes EVERY time the fan is powered off and on (via the isolator), the

display will cycle between displaying the actual airflow rate (l/s) being achieved* and system

pressure (Pa). They will cycle every 10-20 seconds, where the pressure will flash, and the

airflow rate will be on constantly. The day logger feature will only be displayed once, after

the first cycle of displaying the flow rate and system pressure.

*Airflow detection system must be enabled to display the calibrated flow rate.

4) Adjustable timer (TP model only)

The TP model incorporates an adjustable overrun timer. This adjusts the time the fan will

continue to run on boost after the LS connection has been deactivated. The timer function is

factory set at approx 15 minutes but can be adjusted between 1 & 30 minutes. This is also

the run time period for the integral pullcord.

•To REDUCE the operating time, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster Fig.5.

CLOCKWISE. To a minimum setting of 1 minute.

•To INCREASE the operating time, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster Fig.5.

ANTI-CLOCKWISE. To a maximum setting of 30 minutes.

5) Fixed timer (HTP model only)

The HTP model incorporates an optional fixed timer – set at 15 minutes. This is the time

the fan will continue to run on boost after the LS connection has been deactivated. The

integral pullcord timer is fixed at 15 minutes and cannot be disabled.

•To ENABLE the fixed overrun timer, link JP2 as shown in fig. 5.

•To DISABLE the fixed overrun timer, remove the link in fig. 5.

6) Adjustable ambient response humidistat (HTP model only)

The HTP model incorporates an adjustable ambient response humidistat. The fan will

increase the extract rate if the humidity rises above the set point – adjustable via the pot

shown in fig. 5.

•To LOWER the set-point use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster Fig.5.

CLOCKWISE. This makes the controller MORE sensitive.

•To RAISE the set-point use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster Fig.5.

ANTICLOCKWISE. This makes the controller LESS sensitive.

Note: The ambient response feature will automatically boost the fan to 13l/s if the

humidity rises quickly irrespective of the set point and run on for the pre-determined

timeout period.

7) Pullcord

The integral pullcord activates the timer (see 4 and 5 above) and the fan will run at 13l/s

for the set time period. If the pullcord is pulled for a second time (once activated), the

timer will be cancelled and the fan will revert back to the trickle extract rate.

To remove the pullcord, cut the cord and leave the switch in place. There is no need

to switch the fan on/off beforehand.

8) System pressure detection (TP & HTP models)

The fan can detect the system pressure for fault finding. If the fan seems noisy or cannot

achieve the desired flow rate, this could be due to a blocked duct or the ducting has not

been suitably stretched during installation (if flexible ducting is used). This is displayed

during the first 15 minutes EVERY time the fan is powered off and on (via the isolator).

The number is displayed in Pascals (Pa) and the higher the number, the more torturous

the system (and air path) – i.e. harder for the fan to move the air through the ducting. As

a consequence the fan has to use more energy and it will increase the fans noise level.

The fan will maintain the correct airflow rate up to a maximum of 30Pa system pressure.

The system pressure will be different for all speeds, but highest on the 13l/s setting.

9) Fan silent running boost mode: This feature delays the boost operation for a maximum

of 20 minutes to reduce noise and cold drafts while bathing. After LS is disconnected,

the fan will look at the amount of time since the LS was activated and then run the fan on

boost for that same period or to a maximum of 20 minutes, whichever is shorter.

a. Dip switch 2 in the off position – Traditional mode (factory set) (fig. 5):

i. Standard running - with LS off, pullcord off. Fan continues to run on the set

trickle speed - 6 or 8l/s.

ii. When the integral pullcord is activated (TP & HTP model only), the fan will

run at 13l/s (boost) for a timed period.(Timer is adjustable on TP model,

but fixed to 15 minutes on the HTP model).

iii. When the LS is connected, the fan will run at 13l/s until deactivated (plus

overrun timed period where applicable).

b. Dip switch 2 in the on position:

i. Standard running – with the LS off, pullcord off. Fan continues to run on the

set trickle speed - 6 or 8l/s.

ii. When the integral pullcord is activated (TP & HTP model only), the fan will

boost as per “Traditional Mode” above.

iii. When the LS is activated, the fan will remain in trickle mode until the LS is

disconnected for a maximum of 20 minutes.

iv. After this 20 minute period or when the LS is disconnected (whichever

happens first), the fan will change to 13l/s (boost mode) and continue to run

on boost for the same period as between the LS activation and

deactivation, up to a maximum of 20 minutes.

v. However, if the LS is deactivated within 3 minutes of activation, then the

fan continues in trickle mode and does not boost.

10)Calibration

The airflow sensor is calibrated at the factory using UKAS accredited equipment.

Details of the equipment and certification can be found on the inside of the fan.

D. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE.

WARNING: THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE

ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING MAINTENANCE.

1. At intervals appropriate to the installation, the fan should be inspected and cleaned to

ensure there is no build-up of dirt or other deposits.

2. Carefully pull the front panel off the inner grille. (fig. 4)

3. Wipe the inlets and front face with a damp cloth until clean. Be careful not to push dirt into

the airflow sensor.

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

E. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Display shows 999 during calibration.

a. Cause:

i. The fan failed to calibrate due to excessive system pressure

b. Solution:

i. Check that the ducting is not blocked and where flexible ducting is used

that it is stretched as much as possible. Switch the power off and on again

to retry calibration.

2. Fan continuously speeds up and down:

a. Cause:

i. This usually means the fan cannot stabilise at the desired airflow rate.

ii. This could be due to the ducting being blocked, or being very windy.

b. Solution:

i. If this persists after the ducting has been checked or the property is very

exposed to high winds, it is recommended to turn the airflow detection

system off. (Section C2)

3. The fan continuously runs in boost (HTP model only):

a. Cause:

i. The room is damp or recently redecorated.

ii. The humidity set point is set too low.

b. Solution:

i. If the room is damp or has recently been decorated, it could take up to 2

weeks for the humidity levels to stabilise. Please leave the fan to dry out the

room and after this period the fan should run normally.

ii. The humidity set point could be set too low. Adjust the humidity set point to

a higher setting. (Section C6)

4. The fan does not turn to boost when the humidity is high:

a. Cause:

i. The humidity set point is set too high.

b. Solution:

i. Adjust the humidity set point to a lower setting. (Section C6)

5. Water is dripping out of the fan when installed in a ceiling:

a. Cause:

i. This is caused by condensation forming on the inside of the ducting and

dripping out of the fan inlet.

b. Solution:

i. This is normal and the fan is designed to handle condensation build up.

However a condensation trap connected immediately after the fan will help

to prevent water dripping into the room.

Fig.7 Calibration Process

After 15 minutes of run time, from initial start up the fan will enter the calibration process. This process will

take a few minutes during which time the fan will speed up and down a number of times. This allows the flow

sensor to calibrate the fan for the installation.

Important: The fan will fail to calibrate unless it is installed in a duct or window kit. Do NOT

attempt to calibrate before the unit is installed.

To bypass the 15 minute wait for calibration to start, pull the pull cord for at least 6

seconds then release it.

To reset calibration put dip switch 1 (SW1) into the off position, turn the fan on and allow it to run for 30

seconds. Turn the fan off and place dip switch 1 (SW1) to the on position. When the fan is switched back

on it will run the start-up procedure and calibrate itself after 15 minutes of running.

Fig. 6. Display and prism

The display can only be seen from the side. This is to allow the installer to view the display with the cover

attached as this can affect the airflow through the sensor.

Every 10-20 seconds the display will switch between displaying airflow rate and system pressure. The system

pressure will flash.

Airflow will be displayed like this: 13.2 (13.2l/s flow rate)

Pressure will be displayed like this:
