ADJUSTMENT AND TESTING
TESTING
1. When the installation is complete, insert the supply fuse and
switch the isolator on. Note that the vents are likely to open or close
on power-up.
2. First check for correct operation of the vents by use of the tactile
open/close switches.
IT IS VITAL THAT WHEN THE VENTS ARE CLOSED FULLY, THEY
ARE NOT TOO TIGHTLY CLOSED.
3. In warmer weather, automatic operation can be checked by turning
the thermostat up and down. Note that the vent should
OPEN
when
turned to a low temperature and
CLOSE
when turned to a high
temperature.
In cold weather i.e: below 10ºC in the conservatory, the thermostat
element can be warmed up by using a hair dryer on a
LOW
heat
setting. This should cause the vents to open. Turn the thermostat up
to check that they close.
4. To test the rain sensor, the vents must
fi
rst be opened and clean
water sprayed onto the rain sensor. The vents should close within a
few seconds.
NOTE: a wet rain sensor will prevent automatic opening. If
testing in actual rain, the surface of the sensor can be dried
with clean kitchen tissue. Take care that the sensing surface is
not scratched. It must also be kept free of grease and sealing
compound.
OPENING ADJUSTMENT
Within the opening distance selected at the actuator, the opening distance when opening automatically can be adjusted in the range 100-
300mm by turning the control as required. See drawing of controller on page 5.
This is not a “customer control”.
It should be pre-set by the
installing electrician if the customer requests it.
Note that the opening distance is reduced by turning clockwise.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment range of the thermostat is 10º to 30ºC. Set the control
knob to the temperature at which you want automatic operation of
the vents. The vents will open whenever the temperature rises above
your setting and re-close when it falls below this setting.
RAIN SENSOR
A rain sensor mounted on the roof will prevent automatic opening
of the vents, and will cause them to re-close if it rains when they are
already open.
MANUAL CONTROL
The tactile switches can be operated at any time to temporarily
override the automatic actions of the controller. With these switches
you can set the vents to any desired position. Press the “open”
switch to open vent and press the “close” switch to close vent. Note
that automatic operation will resume, commensurate with climatic
conditions and the thermostat setting.
NOTE
1. Following a period of rain, the rain sensor will take some time to dry.
Whilst still wet, it will hold the vents closed, and immediately re-close
them if opened by the tactile switch.
2. If you wish to leave the vents in any
fi
xed position,
fi
rst use the
open/close tactile switch, then switch o
ff
the electric supply at the
isolator.
