1. Product information

1.1 Function

UUse  

The exodraft MEC24 is a Mechanical Exhaust Control used to monitor and maintain a constant pres-

sure in a duct system. This is achieved by modulating the speed of a fan or ventilator. The MEC24 can 

be used with the exodraft models EFH, RSV and the EXHAUSTO models BESB and BESF. It can control 

the fan speed directly or via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The MEC24 is typically used to control 

the pressure in duct systems serving clothes dryers, bathrooms, kitchen hoods and other building 

venting applications.

Function  

The control monitors the pressure in a duct system via connection to a pressure sensor (XTP) , and 

maintains the pressure by modulating the fan speed.  

The control has an integrated safety system that assures the appliance shuts down in the event of fan 

and/or control failure. 

 

The use of the MEC24 is not restricted to any type of duct or venting application. When the appliance 

is activated, the control sends maximum voltage to the fan or VFD. Once the specified pressure is 

achieved, the control regulates the voltage to the fan or VFD to manintain the specified pressure (the 

value can be viewed on the display). 

If desired, the control can be interlocked with an appliance. When the appliance is activated, the 

control sends maximum voltage to the fan or VFD. Once the specified pressure is achieved, the con-

trol releases the appliance for operation and continues to regulate the voltage to the fan or VFD to 

maintain the specified pressure (the value can be viewed in the display). In the event of insufficient 

pressure, the control assures the appliance(s) shuts down after 15 seconds. When the appliance shuts 

down, the control turns off the fan. 

The control can be used in one of two ways:

•  Interlocked with the appliance to pre-purge the duct prior to appliance start-up and post-purge the 

duct for 3 minutes after appliance shut down.

•  Set to run the fan continuously.

 

In most cases, local codes will require continuous fan operation.

Other functions   The control has an integrated safety function. It can be operated with a manual reset function (reset 

button) or an automatic reset function. All terminal connections are monitored by LED’s for easy ser-

vice and troubleshooting.
