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 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.
If the fan is to be ceiling mounted, 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,below.
JUMPER SWITCH
These fans are designed to run continuously at a low speed with a choice of three boost speeds (boost speed to be set at instal-
lation). The configurations for the optional boost speed are as follows:
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 betwe-
en 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. (see image below)

The fan must NOT come into contact with
any kind of liquid or solvent. If this should
occur, contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: The motor does not require
lubrication as it is maintenance free
“sealed for life” type.

ELP2204 - this fan combines the latest technology with ener-
gy saving and efficiency. It is a 4 speed centrifugal fan. It is
designed to run continuously at a Speed 1 with three options
for a
pre-selectable boost speed (Speed 2, Speed 3 or Speed 4),
which
is 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 the fan is to be ceiling mounted, 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, page 4
ELP2204DT - 4 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 deacti-
vated 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 minutes (see Trimmer
Adjustment diagram). After the overrun time has elapsed, the
fan will return to the slower speed.
ELP2204HDT - 4 speed, continuous running fan with humidi-
stat, delay-on timer and pull cord. The fan runs continuously at
Speed 1, and will start to operate automatically, via the humidi-
stat, at Speed 2 (30 l/sec) when the relative humidity reaches
the pre-set level (adjustable between 40% and 90% +/-5% to-
lerance). It will continue to operate automatically at this speed
until the humidity has been dispersed and the over-run timer
(adjustable from 0 to 30 minutes) has completed its cycle. The
boost speed can also be activated manually (by means of the
cord or remove the cord and use a remote switch, light switch
or PIR sensor). The fan will then operate at the boost speed
(Speed 2, Speed 3 or Speed 4) selected (via jumper) at installa-
tion and as described for Model ELP2204DT above.
