Trickle Speed 2 - 14 lt/sec - 50.4 m³/
ELX1003 - this fan combines the latest technology with energy
saving and efficiency. It is a quiet running, 3 speed fan. It is de-
signed to run continuously at a pre-selectable choice of 2 tric le
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. If t e fan is to be ceiling mounted, t e pull-cord
switc s ould be put in t e “off” position and t e cord removed.
A remote switc will be necessary for c anging t e fan speed.
See wiring diagrams, page 4.

T e ELX1003 is SAP Appendix Q Listed
ELX1003LV - SELV, 12v version ELX1003.
ELX1003DT - 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 operate 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 mins. (See page 5). After the overrun time has
elapsed, the fan will return to the slower speed.
ELX1003DTLV - SELV, 12v version of ELX1003DT
ELX1003HDT - 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 hu-
midity has been dispersed and the adjustable over-run timer (ad-
justable from 0 to 30 minutes) has completed its cycle. The boost
speed can also be activated by as described for model EL1003DT

1. Chec there is nothing missing in box and re-
move front cover.
2. Drill hole in wall - allow extra widt if using
ducting - it is t e installer's responsibility
to use t e appropriate core cutter to ob-
tain t e correct ole diameter.
3. Remove circuit board cover.
4. Use fan assembly as template to mar drill
holes.
5. Drill 4 x 6mm dia holes.
6. Fit wall plugs.
7/8 Decide 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). If cable is to
come through rear of fan, fit rubber ring (in
cluded) .
9. Screw fan to wall
10. Connect cable using cable clamp - SEE
WIRING DIAs FOR SPECIFIC MODELS
NB t is fan is double insulated and does not
need to be eart ed
11. Before replacing circuit board cover
c oose speed of fan and set delay-on
timer (if applicable)

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 ducting in an unheated space should also be insulated accord-
ing to the latest Building Regulations recommendations in the
Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide.
Failure to do this could result in condensation affecting the op-
eraItion of the fan and cause damage to the ceiling.
If t e fan is to be ceiling mounted, t e pull-cord switc s ould be
put in t e “off” position and t e cord removed. A remote switc
will be necessary for c anging t e fan speed. See wiring dia-
grams, page 4.

SELV Products
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
• The transformer should be connected to the mains supply via a
double pole safety switch with a contact opening of at least
3mm
• The transformer will operate only one fan
• The transformer must not be installed in Zones 1 or 2, but
s ould 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 1.5mm2and a maximum length
of 10m
• If the fan is a humidity control model, it must be installed using
the transformer supplied for that product.

TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the humidistat and timer trimmers, remove the front cover and circuit board cover of
the fan to access the trimmers.
The humidistat (HY) can be adjusted between 40% and 90% relative humidity. Turn cloc wise
to decrease sensitivity and set at a higher level of relative humidity.
The timer (T) is adjustable between 0 and 30 minutes. Turn the trimmer cloc wise to increase
the overrun time, or anti-cloc wise to decrease it.
MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance
or cleaning operation,
switch off the fan and dis-
connect it from the main
power supply. The filter
can be easily removed and
carefully washed. The
front cover can be cleaned
with a dry cloth or soft
brush. The fan must not
come into contact with
any ind of liquid or solvent.
If this should occur, con-
tact a qualified technician
before reassembling the
fan.
NOTE: T e 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
