Introduction
NuAire's MEV-M units are designed to be installed into duct-
work above the area to be ventilated (usually in the ceiling void).
The units provide mechanical extract ventilation for homes in
accordance with BRE digest 398. Single, twin and dual fan units
are available
The case is constructed in galvanised steel. Internal faces of the
casing are acoustically lined. The full length access cover is
retained by four screws. An integral fixing bracket with a single
screw fixing allows easy mounting and removal of the unit when
necessary. The unit is delivered with the 200mm dia discharge
spigot fitted.
Various ‘knockout’ inlet spigot positions can be utilised. All inlet
spigots are ’closed’ as knockouts when delivered. A full kit of
inlet spigots with integral balancing dampers is supplied bagged
separately.
The inlet spigot locations are as follows:
One x 150mm end knockout.
Two x 100mm knockouts on LH side of case.
Two x 100mm knockouts on RH side of case.
Any, or all, of these inlets can be utilised. User removes the
knockout(s ) and fits the balancing spigot(s) supplied.
A filter frame with a replaceable filter is ‘push fit’ located inside
the case which is easily removed for cleaning following removal
of the case cover.
The fan is designed to be wired direct to the mains supply
through a fused spur isolator (by others) and run continuously in
the NORMAL mode (which is the low speed or trickle ventila-
tion setting). The degree of extract from each room served can be
adjusted with the inlet balancing spigots.
The unit is provided with adjustment for the trickle (low speed
or NORMAL) and high speed (BOOST) ventilation as standard.
The NORMAL speed adjustment has a range of 0% to 50%.
The unit is delivered with the NORMAL speed adjustment set to
0%.
Note: the NORMAL speed must be set to 25% by the
installer.
An adjustment of 50 -100% is provided for the ‘BOOST’ duty
setting to reduce performance if necessary.
The unit is delivered with the BOOST speed adjustment set to
100%. (See the adjustments information on page 3). A manual
remote switch is provided to activate the NORMAL and BOOST
functions (see fig. 2).
Provision is also made for the wiring in of an optional remote fail
indicator (not supplied). Order item HVCT-AVI.
