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. It is de­signed to run continuously at a pre-selectable choice of 2 trickle
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 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.

The 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 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 EL1003DT

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 op­eraItion of the fan and cause damage to the ceiling.
