RANGE
Trickle Speed 1 - 8 lt/sec - 28.8 m³/h
Trickle Speed 2 - 14 lt/sec - 50.4 m³/h
ELX1003 - this fan combines the latest technology
with energy saving and efficiency. It is a quiet running, 3 speed fan designed to run continuously at a
pre-selectable choice of 2 trickle 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, 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.
The ELX1003 is SAP Appendix Q Listed
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
(speed 2) 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 Trimmer Adjustment
diagram). After the overrun time has elapsed, the
fan will return to the slower speed.

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 humidity has been dispersed and the
adjustable 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
ELX1003DT
ELX1003DL - 3 speed, continuous running fan with
Data Logger. For operation and monitoring of the
Data Logger, please refer to separate Data Logger
instructions enclosed. (Contact Vectaire Ltd for any
further clarification.)

INSTALLATION
1. Check there is nothing missing in box and
remove front cover.
2. 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.
3. Remove circuit board cover.
4. Use fan assembly as template to mark 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 (included) .
9. Screw fan to wall.
10. Connect cable using cable clamp -
SEE WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR SPECIFIC MODELS
NB this fan is double insulated and does not need
to be earthed
11. Before replacing circuit board cover choose
speed of fan and set delay-on timer (if applicable)
SEE JUMPER SWITCH SETTINGS BELOW
12. Replace front cover.
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 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.

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 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.
DISMANTLING & RECYCLING
This product has been designed and constructed using high-quality materials and components that can be recycled or re-used.
MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, switch off the fan and disconnect 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 kind of liquid or solvent. If this should
occur, contact a qualified technician before reassembling the fan.
NOTE: The motor does not require lubrication as it is maintenance free "sealed for life" type.
