Domus Ventilation CMX-S Installation Instructions Manual Download Page 3

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 

CMX-S

 appliance is a key part of a whole house ventilation system 

specifically designed to improve indoor air quality in dwellings. The 
system is designed to remove polluted, stale air from all bathing, 
cooking and washing areas at a constant gentle rate. Fresh replacement 
air is supplied through background ventilators installed in all living areas 
(supplied separately, Section 2.1).

A manual boost switch can be used to increase the ventilation rate, e.g. 
when cooking or showering thereby maintaining a comfortable indoor 
environment (supplied separately, Section 2.2). 

The boost facility can also be triggered from a lighting circuit or by 
a range of sensors, including humidity control and PIR movement 
detection (supplied separately, Section 2.3). 

This product is listed in the Products Characteristics Database (PCDB), 
therefore part of the installation process requires that an installation 
checklist is completed and submitted to the Building Control Body 
(BCB). Blank checklists are available at www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/SAP. The 
nCM (SAP) identifier for this product is Domus CMX. 

2.1 Ancillary Items Required

• 

220mm x 90mm rectangular or Ø150mm round rigid duct system 

(adaptor required) (Section 3.1).

• 

CMX-ASK1 or 2404 air supply kits with filter.

2.2 Control Switch Options (Supplied Separately, Wiring 
Section 4.2) 

• 

Manual LOW/BOOST switch, code ANC848A -

 Manual BOOST 

selection switch. LOW speed is engaged upon connection of mains 
supply. Both speeds are manually adjustable at the wiring centre to 
facilitate Building Regulation commissioning speeds. 

• 

Manual OCCUPIED/UNOCCUPIED - LOW/BOOST switch, code 

ANC849A - 

Manual BOOST and unOCCuPIED selection switches. 

OCCuPIED/LOW speed is engaged upon connection of mains supply. 
unOCCuPIED speed is intended to be lower than the OCCuPIED/
LOW Building Regulation commissioning speed and should only be 
selected when the property is vacant for extended periods such as 
holidays in order to save energy but keep the property ‘fresh’. There 
is no requirement or value in the Building Regulations for this speed, 
so it should be set to suit the individual client’s requirement. All three 
speeds are manually adjustable at the wiring centre to facilitate Building 
Regulation commissioning speeds.

• 

Manual LOW/BOOST/PURGE switch, code ANC850A -

 Manual 

BOOST and PuRGE selection switches. LOW speed is engaged upon 
connection of mains supply. PuRGE speed is intended to be higher 
than the BOOST Building Regulation commissioning speed and should 
be selected during periods when exceptional levels of indoor pollution 
are encountered such overcooked food or paint fumes. The Building 
Regulations recommend a 4ach (air change per hour) air flow rate for 
this speed but should be set to suit the individual client’s requirement. 
All three speeds are manually adjustable at the wiring centre to facilitate 
Building Regulation commissioning speeds.  

AnC848A, AnC849A & AnC850A

3.0 INSTALLATION

The following instructions are intended to help prevent hazards. 
Installation should only be carried out by a qualified electrician and 
competent persons in clean, dry conditions where dust and humidity are 
at minimum levels. 

We advise installers to fix all mains, switch and 

sensor wiring (in accordance with the latest edition of the Wiring 
Regulations) prior to fixing the CMX-S appliance in position.

 

When accepting delivery of the CMX-S appliance, inspect for transit 
damage. If in doubt, call our Customer Service team on 03443 715523. 

The CMX-S appliance can be fitted directly to a ceiling, wall or suitable 
timber support (if loft mounting). It can also be fitted within small 
ceiling voids and between joists above 400mm spacing. 

Appropriate screw fixings to suit the support medium will need to be 
supplied by the installer. The support plate is pre-drilled to suit 4 x 4mm 
(no.8) round/pan-head screws and flat washers. 

Ensure that there is sufficient space for carrying out any future 
maintenance on the appliance.
