LED flash but fan doesn’t run
signifies a motor failure, 
replace the fan internal. 

If electricity present, power off,
wait and power on again – this
may restart the unit.

Impeller fouling case. 
Replace internal.

Contaminated impeller causing
an out of balance. Lightly brush
away excess dirt taking care 
not to disturb balance weights.

Unit not mounted on a flat 
surface causing distortion,
adjust fixing.

High system pressure, causing
unit to run at high speed to
obtain duty selected. (see right).

Fan is unable to achieve the
duty required. Excessive system
pressure.  Adjust set point and
press the calibrate button.
Check for blocked/crushed
ductwork, closed air valves,
blocked external air bricks/
grilles etc. Ensure pressure pipe
from the blower is correctly
attached to the pressure switch.

Motor failure - replace internals

Low system pressure:

• Ensure all ducting is 

connected from fan to 
atmosphere.

High system pressure, 
check for:

• Dirty filters

• Backdraught shutters 

jammed shut

• Blocked outlet grilles.

• Long ducted runs

• Twists, bends or crushed 

flexible duct work

2.0 On Maintenance

2.1

Motors contain sealed for life bearings, no 
lubrication is necessary.

2.2 A washable filter is fitted, we recommended 

that all unit filters are inspected and cleaned
(wash in light detergent and dry before 
refitting) after the first six months and 
determine the maintenance frequency there
after by the rate and type of contamination.

2.3 Lightly brush excess dirt from unit cases and 

fan impellers taking care not to disturb 
impeller balance weights – if washing is 
necessary apply a light detergent and dry.

3.0 On Spares

Should a defect arise during installation or ‘setting
to work of the unit. Firstly isolate the unit and re
apply the power after 10 seconds. Check all wiring

is correct and no boost signal is present. If a fault
still exists, in the first instance please call our 
technical department on 029 2085 8585. 
The internal parts are exchangeable and can be
removed as a whole component or if necessary it 
is possible to replace the main PCB.

4.0 Trouble Shooting

Complaints are generally that the unit is ‘not 
working’ so it will be first necessary to distinguish
between an electrical/mechanical malfunction or
whether the unit operates but simply fails to
extract air. (see table below for possible problems
and corrective procedures).
