Safety
Read and understand these instructions before beginning
installation. The unit should be installed by a competent person.
Location
Check there is space for the unit in your chosen location. The unit
must not affect the operation of open-flue appliances. Consult local
regulations or a qualified gas engineer. For inline units consider the
external vent location in relation to open-flues from appliances e.g.
boilers. You must ensure the vent is positioned a minimum of 300mm
away in all directions.
The open sides of the diffuser must face a minimum 1m unobstructed
path away from any smoke detectors. If the diffuser cannot be
repositioned, up to two sides can be closed using the plastic
blanking plates. In this configuration the open sides must face a
minimum 1.5m unobstructed path away from any smoke detectors.
In properties with a floor above 4.5m fire diffusers must be fitted
a minimum of 1m away from the smoke detectors instead of the
included plastic diffusers.
Partition walls between buildings must be complete with any breaks filled.
In properties with a floor more than 4.5m above ground level the unit
must be wired into a smoke alarm (see page 12 for wiring information)
The appliance is considered suitable for use in countries with a warm
damp equable climate, but may also be used in other countries.

Wiring Regulations
All wiring must comply with Building Regulations and the current IET
Wiring Regulations (BS7671 in the UK) or equivalent standards for other
countries. The final installation should be examined and tested by a
qualified electrician.
This product is not suitable for use with a Type AC RCD
Electrical Connection
The unit requires a continuous electrical power supply through a residual
current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30mA. Connection to the fixed wiring must be made outside the unit in a
suitable location. The unit must be earthed and a double pole switch with a
minimum contact separation of 3.0mm must be used to provide insulation
for the unit. The unit must be able to be disconnected from the mains
supply after installation. When wiring the unit, the included unswitched
fuse spur should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
The power supply cable running into the unit must remain the supplied
flexible cable (not a solid core lighting cable). If the power supply cable
becomes damaged, it must be replaced by EnviroVent, an authorised
service agent for your region/country, or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. Do not remove or tamper with any electronic
components inside the product.
Users
The unit 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 and usage instruction
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure they do not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance
must not be performed by children.

Pre - Installation Checklist
• Does the unit fit through the loft hatch?
• Check there are no obstructions in the hallway or landing where the
diffuser is to be fitted and in the loft space above.
• Ensure the loft has adequate cross-flow ventilation to provide a
supply of fresh air to the unit.
• Check that all partition walls are intact. Seek building advice if any
are missing or broken.
• Check for flued appliances drawing air from the loft, the user should
be made aware of any of these.
• Check that any flue passing through the loft is undamaged. Seek
building advice if any are damaged or broken.
• Repair any ceiling gaps which allow air leakage into the loft.
• Ensure any loft water storage tanks are covered and sealed.
About the ventilation unit
The damppro loft unit is a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit which
creates fresh and healthy living environments by supplying filtered air
into a property at a continuous rate through a ceiling mounted diffuser.
The diffuser is normally installed in a hallway or landing area.
The units have been developed to improve indoor air quality and resolve
condensation and mould problems. They are designed to operate
continuously for 5 years with no requirement for maintenance other
than general cleaning the filter must be replaced after 5 years usage.
In conditions between 19°C - 25°C the units will increase air flow rate
by 10%. In hot conditions above 25°C the units will temporarily switch
off to avoid bringing hot air into the property from the loft space.
