INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL

4 ADJUSTING THE POWERFAN

The setting of the PowerFan is done with the speed controller. 

With this podmeter you set the resistance of the motor. The 

lower the resistance, the faster the motor runs. This controller 

and the indicator lights are located on the PowerFan itself. A 

cover must be removed for this. Make sure that this cover can be 

reached at all times (See 

Figure 4.1

)

4.1  Set initial position

See 

Figure 4.2

• 

Position 0 Motor is running at full power

• 

Position 6 Start position for each new installation

• 

Position 12 Motor runs slowly.

4.2  Start

When the fireplace is started, the fan runs at high speed for 5 

seconds, after which a signal is sent to the control cabinet and 

the speed drops audibly. In this position the 2 green LED lamps 

are lit and one is flashing.

LED is blinking

The fan checks the system for correct operation for 60 seconds. If 

the system works properly, the blinking stops and the LED stays 

green

LED flashes red

If the green light does not stop blinking or changes to red, 

increase the fan speed by 1 step and observe the waiting time 

of 60 seconds again.

Pay attention

• 

To increase the fan speed:

• 

Turn the speed control counterclockwise.

• 

To reduce the fan speed:

• 

Turn the speed control clockwise.

4.3  Fine-tuning

When the flames are satisfactory, increase the speed (if desired) 

by one more step to take account of extreme weather conditions 

such as wind. This prevents the fire from being switched off 

preventively, which is experienced as a nuisance.

Note: 

Only after 20 minutes can you assess the flames correctly. 

Take this time into account for the first installation. The fan can 

switch off before the 20 minutes have elapsed.
