ELX1003 - this fan combines the atest techno ogy
with energy saving and efficiency. It is a quiet run-
ning, 3 speed fan designed to run continuous y at a
pre-se ectab e choice of 2 trick e speeds (see jumper
switch settings). 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, ight 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.
T e ELX1003 is SAP Appendix Q Listed
ELX1003DT - 3 speed, continuous running fan with
de ay-on timer and pu cord. The de ay-on timer ver-
sion wi run at ow speed unti the boost speed
(speed 2) is activated by means of the cord or, if the
cord is removed, by means of a remote switch, ight
switch, PIR sensor or humidistat. There is a 2
minute de ay before the fan starts to run at its high
speed - if the boost speed is deactivated before that
time apse, the fan wi continue to run at ow speed.
If the boost speed is activated, the fan wi operate at
high speed unti the boost switch is turned off. After
this, the fan wi continue at high speed for the ength
of time set on the timer overrun adjustment,
between 0 and 30 mins (see Trimmer Adjustment
diagram). After the overrun time has e apsed, the

correct ole diameter.
3. Remove circuit board cover.
4. Use fan assemb y as temp ate to mark dri ho es.
5. Dri 4 x 6mm dia ho es.
6. Fit wa p ugs.
7/8 Decide whether to have cab e access from
rear (recessed) or top (surface) of fan - if from

passing through an unheated space, a condensation
trap MUST be fitted. Any ducting in an unheated
space shou d a so be insu ated according to the at-
est Bui ding Regu ations recommendations in the
Domestic Venti ation Comp iance Guide. Fai ure to do
