MAINTENANCE.
With the Cover removed the humidity adjustment, overrun timer adjustment, speed selection
switches and installation type switches are accessible in the bottom right corner of the product
(figs.4 & 7).
1. SELECTING THE CONSTANT TRICKLE SPEED (0, 6, 9 or 12 l/s)
This will determine the speed at which the fan will run most of the time except when boost is
activated by either the Pullcord, PIR, LS, or Relative Humidity Sensor.
i. Slide one
position) to select that flow rate for trickle speed.
ii. Setting all of those 3 switches to the left (off positions) will switch off the constant trickle
option (i.e the fan will normally be off and will switch to boost when the Pullcord, PIR, LS
or Humidity Sensor are activated).
2. SELECTING THE BOOST SPEED (15, 30 or 60 l/s)
This will determine the speed at which the fan will run when activated by either the Pullcord, PIR,
LS, or Relative Humidity Sensor.
i. Slide one

3. TIMER ADJUSTMENT
The overrun time period is the length of time that the fan will continue to run at boost for after the
LS connection is switched off or the PIR (Quadra TM only) stops sensing movement. It is factory
set to approximately 15 minutes. The overrun time period may be adjusted from approximately 130 mins by altering the adjuster on the control PCB. (figs.4 & 7).
i. To REDUCE the operating time, turn the adjuster ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
ii. To INCREASE the operating time, turn the adjuster CLOCKWISE.
4. RELATIVE HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT (HTP model only)
The fan’s Relative Humidity (RH) Set-Point is factory set to switch the fan on at about 72%RH.
i. To LOWER the Set-Point, turn the Humidity Adjuster (figs.4 & 7) ANTI-CLO CKWISE. This
makes the fan more sensitive to RH%, i.e. the fan will come on at a lower RH%.
ii. To RAISE the Set-Point, turn the Humidity Adjuster (figs.4 & 7) CLOCKWISE. This makes
the fan less sensitive to RH%, i.e. the fan will come on at a higher RH%.
