RANGE
Trickle Speed 1 - 8 l/sec - 28.8 m³/h
Trickle Speed 2 - 16 l/sec - 57.6 m³/h
EL1003 - this fan combines the latest technol-
ogy with energy saving and efficiency. It is a
quiet running, 3 speed fan, is designed to run
continuously at a pre-selectable choice of 2
trickle speeds (fixed at installation). The
user can boost the fan speed to its maximum
performance when required by means of the cord or
remove the cord and use a remote switch, light
switch, PIR sensor or humidistat.
The EL1003 is SAP PCDB Eligible.
EL1003LV - SELV 12V version of EL1003
EL1003DT - 3 speed, continuous running fan
with delay-on timer and pull cord. The delay-on
timer version will run at low speed until the
boost speed is activated by means of the cord
or, if the cord is removed, by means of a
remote switch, light switch, PIR sensor or
humidistat. There is a 2 minute delay before
the fan starts to run at its high speed - if the
boost speed is deactivated before that time
lapse, the fan will continue to run at low speed.
If the boost speed is activated, the fan will oper-
ate at high speed until the boost switch is
turned off. After this, the fan will continue at
high speed for the length of time set on the
timer overrun adjustment, between 0 and 30
minutes. (See page 9). After the overrun time
has elapsed, the fan will return to the slower
speed.
EL1003DTLV - SELV 12V version of
EL1003DT
EL1003HDT - 3 speed, continuous running fan.
The fan runs continuously at the pre-selected
lower speed, and the boost (speed 2) will start
to operate automatically when the relative
humidity (adjustable between 40% and 90%
+/-5% tolerance) reaches the pre-set level and
will continue to operate at this speed until the
humidity has been dispersed and the adjust-
able over-run timer (adjustable from 0 to 30
minutes) has completed its cycle. The boost
speed can also be activated by as described for
model EL1003DT

INSTALLATION
1. check there is nothing missing in box
2. exploded diagram
3. drill hole in wall - allow extra width if
using ducting - it is the installer's
responsibility to use the appropriate
core cutter to obtain the correct hole
diameter.
4. use fan assembly as template to mark drill
holes
5. drill 4 x 6mm dia holes
6. fit wall plugs
7/8decide whether to have cable access
from rear (recessed) or top (surface) of
fan - if from top ensure that included
grommet is properly fixed. (See dia 8).
9. screw fan to wall
10. connect cable using cable clamp. NB
this fan is double insulated and does
not need to be earthed
11/12. replace front cover ensuring it
clicks firmly into position
N.B This fan is NOT suitable for use with a
Gravity Grille. It should be installed using
either a Cowl or Fixed Grille.
IMPORTANT
If the fan is installed in a ceiling with a vertical
duct passing through an unheated space, a
condensation trap MUST be fitted. Any duct-
ing in an unheated space should also be insu-
lated according to the latest Building
Regulations recommendations in the
Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide.
Failure to do this could result in condensation
affecting the operation of the fan and cause
damage to the ceiling.
Additionally for ceiling installation the pull-
cord switch should be put in the "off" position
and the cord removed. A remote switch will
be necessary for changing the fan speed -
see wiring diagrams on following page.

JUMPER SWITCH
These fans are designed to
run continuously at one of 2
lower speeds fixed at installa-
tion using the jumper switch.

you have)
The user can boost the fan
speed to its maximum perfor-
mance by using cord or
remote switch .
N.B When installing fans via
a remote switch, pullcord
switch must be left in "off"
position and the cord
removed.

TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the humidistat and timer trim-
mers, remove the front cover of the fan (Fig
2) to access the trimmers.
The humidistat (HY) can be adjusted
between 40% and 90% relative humidity.
Turn clockwise to decrease sensitivity and
set at a higher level of relative humidity.
The timer (TM) is adjustable between 0 and
30 minutes. Turn the trimmer clockwise to
increase the overrun time, or anti-clockwise
to decrease it.

ELs - SELV - 3 Speed with Cord ELs - SELV - 3 Speed via remote switch
SELV
All SELV (safety extra low voltage) products
must be installed to conform to IEC 60364.
• Connection between the fan and the mains
supply must be by means of a safety isolating
transformer of the appropriate power rating
(supplied).
• The means of disconnection from the supply
mains must have a contact separation in all
poles and must provide full disconnection
under overvoltage category III conditions.
• The transformer will operate only one fan.
• The transformer must not be installed in
Zones 1 or 2, but should be installed as close
as possible to the fan within Zone 3.
• The cable used to connect the transformer
to the fan must have a section area of at
least 1.5mm² and a maximum length of 10m.
When installing fans via a remote switch, pullcord switch must be put in the "off" position and the cord removed.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
the fan should be switched off and disconnected
from the main power supply. The front cover can
be cleaned by the user with a dry cloth or soft
brush. If any maintenance is required, this
should be done by a professional technician. The
user should never dismantle the fan for any rea-
son.
The fan must not come into contact with any
kind of liquid or solvent. If this should occur, con-
tact a qualified technician.
NOTE: The motor does not require lubrication
as it is maintenance free "sealed for life" type.
DISMANTLING & RECYCLING
This product has been designed and constructed using high-quality materials and components
that can be recycled or re-used.
THIS VENTILATION UNIT IS FITTED WITH AN AUTOMATIC SAFETY CUT-OUT WHICH WILL
STOP THE MOTOR RUNNING IF THE FAN BLADE IS OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY.
TO RE-START THE MOTOR, THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN.
• DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY;
• REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION;
• RECONNECT TO THE POWER SUPPLY.
THE UNIT SHOULD THEN OPERATE NORMALLY, BUT IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT
YOUR SUPPLIER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
