NuAire Genie/tops 230 volt Instruction Manual

Fig. 1. General View
Introduction
The Genie / TOPS range of toilet and bathroom units
has been specifically designed to ventilate small rooms
such as toilets, bathrooms, cloakrooms etc.
Measuring a compact 200mm x 173mm x 120mm the
units deliver 25 l/s via a 100mm dia. outlet fitted to the
rear face.
Air entering the unit passes through a washable filter
fitted to the front cover.
Anti- backdraught shutters, retained in the closed
position when fan is not running, are fitted to the
base plate.
Motor has sealed, self lubricating bearings and “heat-
seeker” thermal overload protection.
The fan/ motor assembly is retained by spring clips to
simplify maintenance.
Interchangeable plug - in electronic control modules
can incorporate :-
Run - on timer
Humidistat
Continuous low duty with boost.
As a safety feature the fan/ motor assembly is automat-
ically disconnected when the electronic control
module is removed.
WARNING
WHEN INSTALLING GENIE UNITS FOR
REMOTE SWITCHING IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT THE PULL CORD (IF FITTED) IS
REMOVED. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
THE UNIT IS SWITCHED OFF (BY THE
PULLCORD) BEFORE CUTTING. CUT THE
PULLCORD INSIDE THE UNIT A LITTLE
WAY BEYOND THE CONTROL MODULE.
Typical Installations

Installation
(To be carried out by qualified personnel only)
Surface Mounting
Note. It is assumed that a solid non reverberant
mounting position has been selected and the necessary
passages for ductwork from the outlet spigot, as well
as the electrical connection prepared. It is also
assumed that compatible ductwork has been installed.
Isolate the electrical supply by switching off at
mains and removing fuses.
1. Remove cover/grille assembly by depressing
the top & bottom retaining tabs. (fig. 3)
2. Remove the plug-in electronic control module.
(fig.4)
3. Remove the fan/motor assembly by pulling aside
the two spring clips.
4. Place the unit in the desired mounting position,
connect the ductwork and feed the cable through the
cable entry. Connect the wiring to the terminal block
(it may be easier to temporarily remove the block to
facilitate wiring)

* A optional window mounting kit is
available for this unit, code ref: WINKIT.
When installing the unit in a window, use the
instructions supplied with the kit.

Installation (Cont.)
5. Secure the unit in position, using three wood screws (No. 6).
Note: It may be necessary to drill and plug the mounting surface. It is
the responsibility of the installer to select the correct wall plug for the
particular application.
6. Fit the fan assembly to the case, securing it with the two spring clips.
Install the electronic control module ensuring that it is fully engaged in
the internal socket. If the pull-cord option is required it should be fed
through the aperture on the impeller housing before sliding the control
module into place. Fig. 5. (If the pullcord option is not required it
must be removed, see warning note on page 1).
7. Replace the front cover and secure using the two screws provided
(loose with filter and instructions). NOTE: Ensure the pull cord (if
fitted) passes through the slot in the base. (Fig. 5).
8. Fit the filter which is a push fit between the front cover and the body
of the unit (fig. 3).
9. Test run the unit noting that if a timer/humidistat option is fitted,
the unit may run-on for the duration of the control sequence.
Semi - recessed mounting
IMPORTANT NOTE Remove the shutters from the spigot if you are
mounting the genie in the ceiling.
1. Prepare an opening 184mm x 213mm. This will allow sufficient
clearance (approx. 5 to 10mm) all around the unit to accept the fixing
bracket (optional). Note. Do not exceed the quoted dimensions, as an
aperture larger than 208mm x 238mm will not be covered by the
finishing plate. Again it is assumed that a solid, non-reverberant
mounting position has been selected and the necessary passages for
ductwork from the outlet spigot as well as the electrical connection
prepared. It is also assumed that compatible ductwork is already
installed.
2. Position the mounting bracket (Fig. 7.) in the previously prepared
aperture so that the ends of the bracket are flush with the surface of the
wall. Secure the bracket with suitable fixings (by others) see Fig.8.
3. Remove the front cover /grille assembly (Refer to surface mounted
version for details).
4. Position the finishing plate on the base of the unit (fig 8). Place unit
base and finishing plate in the mounting bracket and feed the supply
cable through the casing aperture. Engage the outlet spigot in the duct-
work and fix the casing to the bracket using the screws supplied.
5. Connect the wiring to the internal terminal block / socket (it may be
easier to remove the block temporarily to facilitate wiring).
6. Fit fan module to the base
7. Fit the electronic control module, ensuring that it engages with the
internal socket. Note: If pullcord option is required, the cord should
now be fed through the aperture and into the small slot in the base.
see Fig.5. (If pullcord is not required it must be removed, see warning
note on page 1).
8. Replace the front cover with the two screws provided (loose with
filter and instructions) and refit the filter.
9. Test run the unit. Note! If a timer / humidistat option is fitted, the
unit may run on for the duration of the timer control sequence when
power is initially switched on.

Maintenance
(General notes for the ‘End User’/
Maintenance Engineer).
General
A washable filter is fitted to protect the fan / motor assembly from
towel lint, talc etc. and to prolong the life of the unit. However,
some fine dust may find its way through the filter and, if allowed,
will build up on the motor and/or impeller. It is therefore strongly
recommended that all units are inspected and cleaned at least every
six months.
Isolation
WHEN CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE UNIT IT
IS ESSENTIAL TO ISOLATE IT FROM THE MAINS
SUPPLY.
Procedure
At all times take care not to damage, distort or disturb the balance of
the impeller. Remove the filter and front cover as previously
described. Remove the electronic control module.Spring aside the
two clips and remove the fan module. Visually inspect all parts,
replace any damaged items. Using a soft brush or dry cloth remove
any dust and dirt from the fan module. Stubborn dirt may be
removed by careful use of a soft scraper. Wash front cover in warm
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Re-fit fan and electronic control
module, replace front cover and secure with screws. Wash filter on
tepid water to which a little mild detergent has been added. Shake
out excess water and allow to dry naturally. Replace filter. Refit the
retaining screws (fig 3). Test run the unit.
Run - on timer and humidity set point
Run - on timer
When installing a unit with run-on timer the adjuster should
initially be turned fully anti-clockwise. (This equates to a run-on of
approximately 5 minutes).
Isolate unit from supply and remove front cover. Locate the
electronic control module situated to the right of the fan / motor
assembly. Using small screwdriver, turn the adjuster to the fully
anti-clockwise position. Adjustment to the timer can subsequently
be made to suit individual preferences. Turn timer clockwise to
increase run on time - maximum run on time is 30 minutes.
Humidistat
By adjusting the humidity set point it is possible to adjust the
humidity level at which the fan operates (Note that the humidity set
point is adjusted to maximum at factory prior to delivery). Isolate
the unit from the supply and remove the front cover, locate the
electronic control module situated to the right of the fan / motor
assembly. Use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster, clockwise to
sense a higher humidity level or anti-clockwise to sense a lower
level.
When initially running a Genie / TOPS unit with the humidistat
option the humidity adjustment control should be adjusted to
maximum (fully clockwise). Start the fan and after approx. 30
minutes the fan will switch off. Adjust the humidity set point
downward (by turning the control anti-clockwise) until the desired
level is achieved.
The fan will cut in when the humidity level in the room is reached.
Fig. 6. Internal view. Note the adjusting screw
for both timer (S) and humidistat (H) modules is
located in the position shown.
