1. Product information
1.1 Application
EFC21 is used to control gas replaces that have exodraft chimney fans installed.
The control system functions as a safety monitoring system and will switch o the gas replace if
there is insucient chimney draught.
The system has been developed in accordance with standards BS 5440-1: 2008,
BS 6644 :2005+A1:2008, Appliances Burning Gaseous Fuels Directive 2016/426/EC and
EN298 (2012).
Functions
The fan will start at full speed when the EFC21 is activated. Once the system detects there is suf-
cient chimney draught, the gas replace can be lit and the fan speed will fall to the pre-set level.
The control has a step-up function and a built-in 15 second delay to avoid inadvertent cut-outs. If
the control system is switched o the chimney fan will stop.
But an optional three-minute run on can be set by the DIP switch.
Fail-safe settings
The system’s fail-safe settings can be changed in accordance with national laws and regulations.
The following function is available:
• RESET (manual/automatic) in the case of power failure or faulty chimney draught.

2. Installation
• All installations must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with
national legislation and regulations.
• An isolation switch must be installed between the controller and the chimney fan.
• Refer to the chimney fan instruction when installing the isolation switch.
• The isolation switch must be ordered separately as it is not part of the
standard exodraft delivery.
• Do not connect SMG terminals 6 and 7 to any valve other than an SMG valve supplied
by exodraft.
2.1 Fitting the controller
The control panel must be tted onto a level surface with a minimum distance of 100 mm to any
corner.
The front cover is removed from the frame by twisting a screwdriver in the two holes on the sides
of the cover. The front cover can then be tipped carefully and the frame can be tted onto the wall.
Fig. 2
NB:
The front cover is tted with connection cable on the right side which limits how much this side
can be opened.
The controller covers a standard dry lining box (80 x 80 mm).

2.2 Electrical wiring
!
• Electrical wiring of the controller must be carried out in accordance with national
legislation and regulations.
• Earth must always be connected.

2.3 EFC21 standard installation
Description
The diagram shows how a separate solenoid valve (SMG) must be connected to the EFC21. The
solenoid valve is part of the separate fail-safe system and will cut o the gas supply in the case of
insucient system chimney draught (controlled by the fan pressure switch).
• Connect the earths of the mains supply, chimney fan and solenoidvalve
together (SMG).
• Connect the chimney fan and pressure switch to terminals 1–5.
• Connect the SMG to terminals 6–7.
• Connect the optional Air inlet monitoring to terminals 10–11. If this monitoring is not manda-
tory, then a jumper must be tted across terminals 10–11.
• Connect mains supply to terminals marked ”Supply”.

2.4 EFC21 installation with external ON/OFF
Description
Example showing how an external ON/OFF switch can be connected to a standard installation. Al-
lows the system to be switched ON/OFF by the external switch or by the controller.
• Connect the mains earth to the earth terminal of the chimney fan and to the solenoid valve
together(SMG).
• Connect the chimney fan and pressure switch to terminals 1–5.
• Connect the SMG to terminals 6–7.
• Connect the external ON/OFF switch (potential free) to terminals 8–9.
• Connect the optional Air inlet monitoring to terminals 10–11. If this monitoring is not manda-
tory then a jumper must be tted across terminals 10–11.
• Connect mains supply to terminals marked ”Supply”.

2.5 EFC21 coupled directly to a gas replace control
Description
Example showing how a EFC21 controller can be connected directly to a gas re without having
to use an extra SMG. This type of installation requires a re with a controller that has ame-detec-
tion and automatic ignition – or a permanent pilot light. If there is insucient chimney draught
(detected by the fan pressure switch) the controller will switch o the gas replace (potential-free
switch).
• Connect the mains earth to the earth terminal of the chimney fan.
• Connect the chimney fan and pressure switch to terminals 1–5.
• Optional external ON/OFF switch is connected to terminals 8–9.
• Connect the optional Air inlet monitoring to terminals 10–11. If this monitoring
is not mandatory then a jumper must be tted across terminals 10–11.
• Connect start/activate burn control to terminals 12–13 (potential-free switch).
• Connect mains supply to terminals marked ”Supply”.

3. Commissioning
!Commissioning is carried out with the control box open. Only touch
components with electrically insulated tools.
NB:
All windows and doors must be closed prior to commissioning. If there is another form of ventila-
tion in the room, it should be run at full speed during the commissioning.
DIP switch
Check the factory-set DIP switch setting before commissioning (Fig. 1-J).

3.1 Service mode
!In service mode the PDS and Air inlet safety function are disabled.
• Open control panel.
• Press ON/OFF button (Fig. 1-C).
• If the re has to be lit during the commissioning then wait until GREEN LED is on, but not ashing.
• Press the service mode button (Fig. 1-I) on the back of the cover. Alarm LED (Fig. 1-A) will ash
RED, and the operating LED (Fig. 1-B) will ash according to the position of the pressure switch –
see the table below:
RED Insucient chimney draught (C-NC)
GREEN Sucient chimney draught (C-NO)
YELLOW No signal from pressure switch. Check the wiring
NB
The service mode will deactivate automatically after 30 minutes or the next time
the ON/OFF button is pressed.
3.2 Setting the potentiometer
• The potentiometer (Fig. 1-K) is set to maximum by turning clockwise.
• Slowly adjust the fan speed using the potentiometer. Check there are no spillages by
thoroughly checking the edge of the replace.
• If there is some leakage, increase the fan speed until leakage from the replace is no longer
detectable.
3.3 Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is normally tted in the chimney fan.
• Set the pressure switch to a minimum by turning anti-clockwise.
• Slowly increase the pressure switch setting until it cuts out (you will hear a click) or until the
operating LED (Fig. 1-B) changes from GREEN to RED.
• Make a note of the pressure switch setting at cut-o.
• Set the pressure switch to 10 Pa below the previously noted cut-o value.
• Press ON/OFF button (Fig. 1-C). Service mode is now deactivated.
3.4 Testing the commissioning set-up
• Check the start-up function after the commissioning by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Start replace.
• Check there is no leakage (all doors and windows must be closed) If some other type of ventila-
tion is installed, it must be on and running at full speed.
• If a leak is detected, repeat the commissioning.
• After running for ten minutes with no leakage, turn the isolation switch o and the fail-safe
function is being checked. The replace should cut-out after 15 seconds after the pressure
switch has cut-o. Remember to switch the isolation switch back on.
• Fit the cover.
• Inform the end user about the controller functions and leave the instructions with the end user.

Using the
EFC controller
• Press the ON/OFF button (Fig. 10-A).
• The operating LED (Fig. 10-B) will ash GREEN until the correct chimney draught is conrmed.
If it ashes YELLOW, then the Air inlet must be opened The operating LED will then become
GREEN and the replace can be lit.
• To stop the fan press the ON/OFF button.
External ON/OFF switch
• The ON/OFF switch can be used to start, stop and reset the controller.
• If the external ON/OFF switch is used, it has priority over the control panel and the remote
control.
NB
The switch must be in the OFF position before the controller can be re-started.
Operating LED (Fig. 10-B)
Observation Type of fault
Flashing RED No start-up signal from the safety circuit Typically, because the fan is restarted while
it is still running
Flashing GREEN The fan has started and the controller is waiting for the chimney-draught-ok signal
Flashing YELLOW Chimney draught is conrmed correct but signal from the Air inlet is missing
Constant GREEN Start up ok and the re can be lit
Constant YELLOW The ventilation function is active and the re is OFF
Alarm LED (Fig. 10-C)
Constant RED indicates a power failure has occured. To reset and start the controller, press the ON/
OFF button once.
If the alarm LED (Fig. 10-C) activates during operation, press the ON/OFF button twice to stop the
fan and restart the controller. If the alarm LED remains on after reset, please refer to the“Troubles-
hooting” section.

4.1 Extra function
Press the ON/OFF button (Fig. 10-A) for at least four seconds to increase the fan’s
operating speed. If the controller is switched o, the fan speed will be reset.
