Before using the fan, carefully read these instructions and the warranty conditions.
PAX passad 60 is designed for fixed installation and must be installed by a
qualified electrician.
All the illustrations referred to in the text can be found on page “III”. Fold the page out
to the left so that you can see the illustrations while reading the user guide.
Thank you for choosing a PaX fan – The original!
The PAX passad 60 exhaust fan is designed to boost the basic ventilation of a house
*
and for forced venting of humidity and odours from wet areas (WC/bath/shower/laundry).
It can be fitted in ducts with or without natural draught
**
.
The fan fits ducts with a diameter of Ø or 100 – Ø 140 mm.
For larger ducts (up to 160 mm
diameter) the PAX cover plate (accessory) must be used. To ensure that the PAX passad
60 does not affect other ventilation systems and is not affected by them, the fan must
always be installed in its own duct. Make sure that the duct is clear of obstructions.
Avoid insect mesh, filters and other objects that may obstruct the flow of air. To prevent
condensation in natural draught ducts (in winter), the ducts must be insulated where
they pass through unheated areas such as cold attics.
The fan is designed for use in a temperature range of 5 to 35 °C. If the fan is installed in a
cold area or if it has been stored in a cold place before installation, it may run slowly when
started for the first time. The fan will work normally when it reaches its working temperature.
Make sure that air can enter the bathroom, for example through a large gap at the door
or by using the PAX transfer air unit (accessory). We recommend the use of genuine PAX
accessories (see page II) to ensure that the fan works properly and delivers the correct
capacity.
*
Primarily detached houses and holiday homes, but can also be used in multi-dwelling buildings with
separate, short ventilation ducts.
**
With natural draught ventilation, air is carried upwards through ventilation ducts and out of the building (see page
19). For natural draught ventilation to work, the air inside the building must be warmer (and therefore lighter)
than the air outside. Natural draught ventilation therefore works best during the winter. Natural draught ventilation
will be reduced or absent if the temperature differential (inside/outside) is small or non-existent. For this reason,
buildings are often poorly ventilated when the weather is warm.
funcTions – seTTings
Speed control
(see Figure C)
The fan has a function for stepless control of its basic speed, from about one-third speed
up to maximum speed (C1). Running the PAX passad 60 continuously at a basic speed
ensures air turnover all year round.
Suggested settings:
• in winter, about one-third speed.
• in spring, summer and autumn about two-thirds speed
Humidity control
(see Figure C)
If the humidity goes high, a built-in humidity sensor increases the speed of the fan from
basic speed to maximum speed. The area where the fan is installed must be dry when you
set the point at which the speed increases. First turn the control (C2) clockwise until the
fan is running at full speed. Then slowly turn the control anticlockwise until the fan switches
back to low speed. The fan is now set. It will now change to full speed when the humidity
goes above the set level.
Switch-controlled timer function
Important: Inform your electrical installer before the installation work starts if you want any of
the functions below, since they require electrical wiring to a separate switch or light switch.
The built-in electronics of the fan include a timer function.
- When the light in the room (or a separate switch) is turned on, the speed increases from
basic to maximum.
- When the switch is turned off, the fan runs at maximum speed for 15 minutes
(timer function). The fan then returns to its basic speed
***
.
There is also a facility to start the fan immediately at full speed:
- When the separate switch or the light switch of the room is turned on.
- When the switch is turned off, the fan returns to its basic speed
***
.
***
The fan will only return from maximum speed to its set basic speed if the humidity in
the room is below the set level (see the section on humidity control above).
cleaning
For the fan to keep working and maintain its capacity it must be cleaned at least twice a
year and more often if necessary.
• Disconnect the fan from the electric power supply before cleaning it.
• Push the two locking buttons towards the centre (A1) and lift the motor unit out of the
frame (see Figure A). Then remove the motor unit (A2).
• Clean the opening, the duct and the motor unit with a damp cloth (a mild detergent may
be used if necessary).
• The impeller can be cleaned in place. If the impeller is very dirty you can remove it by
pulling it straight out (see Figure B). It can then be washed and rinsed.
(To avoid rust, allow the impeller to dry before refitting it to the motor shaft.)
• Do not use solvents on the fan.
• Do not immerse the fan in water or flush water jets on it.
environMenT
A fan that is no longer serviceable should be recycled as electronic scrap.
