Overview
The CMEV.4e range is a ventilation system designed to provide improved indoor air quality in dwellings. As a
whole house system, the unit constantly extracts air from rooms generating moisture and odours in dwellings
(Kitchens, Wet Rooms, Utility Rooms and WC’s).
A boost speed facility is provided to increase the ventilation rate during peak times, providing a comfortable
indoor environment. A boost switch (not supplied) should be wired to provide this operation (see section - 2.5
Electrical).

General Preparation
The CMEV.4e range of units are supplied with 5 x 125mm ducting spigots for connection of ducts to the unit for
installation and 2 x blanking caps to close or block off unused spigots. One inlet spigot is located under the base
of the unit and is supplied blanked off. For installations requiring fifth inlet port, proceed to cut out the
spigot blank and connect duct. (See Figure 1).
125mm duct should be used to provide the best performance levels required for compliance with building
regulations. The CMEV.4e range has been tested with both 125mm and 100mm round ducting. Note; Reducing
ductwork to 100mm will increase system resistance and affect overall specific fan power ratings. Technical
Services can be contacted on [phone] should you have any questions in respect of this.
Installation of the unit should be in accordance with the current editions of Building Regulations and BS7671: IEE
Wiring Regulations.
The design, material specification and installation must only be carried out by ‘competent persons’. Electrical
installation must be carried out by a qualified Electrician.
Positioning / Application
The unit can be installed in any plane and should be sited in a service cupboard, on a wall or ceiling or in a loft
space (See Figure 2).
The unit must be securely mounted at each corner using either single or slotted fixing holes provided (See Figure 3).

2.8 On Site Commissioning
This section covers set up, configuration of the unit on installation and altering pre-set factory settings. Dependant
on which model has been installed the following set up and configuration will apply.
CMEV. e / CMEV. eHT Models
• Once the wiring connections have been checked, switch the mains supply on and check that the
system is operating correctly, as per installed wiring / switch / sensor control configurations (see
respective per wiring diagram).
• Performance levels to be verified at the extract valves (See section 2.8.3) using an appropriate
method such as a rotating vane anemometer and air cone kit. Record airflow rates for room extract
valves for trickle and boost speeds on the front page of this installer guide.
• Refer to performance graph for relevant model for airflow characteristics (See section 2.9).
2.8.1
2.8.2

Valve Set-up
• Switch the unit to the highest operating position.
• Close external windows and doors.
• With the system operating in boost mode, proceed to open the valves to their maximum.
• Measure the total air volume at the valves.
•Regulate the valves to the required flow per room.
• Switch the unit to trickle speed to confirm desired extract rate is achieved. It should normally not
be necessary to adjust the extract valves further.
CMEV. e / CMEV. eHT – Fine Tuning
Minor adjustments may be required depending on overall ductwork length.
Fine-tuning of the motor speeds can be achieved by using the ‘turn pots’ on the fan casing to ensure optimum
efficiency (See Figure 8). Record airflow rates for room extract valves and also the ‘pot’ settings for trickle and
boost speeds on the front page of this installer guide.
Figure 8 - ‘Speed Pot’ Setting Adjustment Panel
Note; Fan performance can be adjusted between these set points for further fine tuning, as the motor is 100%
variable in range.
CMEV. eHT Only – Greenwood TimerSMARTTM and Greenwood HumidiSMARTTM
The CMEV.4eHT features a fully automatic integral timer function and humidity function which monitors the
homeowners’ environment. Neither of these functions require set-up.
CMEV. e / CMEV. eHT – Factory Settings
Factory settings suitable for two bedroom apartments up to 100m2floor area, with a Kitchen plus 2 Wet Rooms
(such as Bathroom, Utility Room, Shower Room, Ensuite, WC).
Use ‘turn pots’ to achieve the desired motor speed at both speeds. Medium speed represents the mid speed
between the two settings. For example, if the trickle speed ‘pot’ is set to 20% of full motor speed and the boost
speed ‘pot’ is set at 60%, Medium speed will automatically be 40%.
