INSTALLATION, OPERATINg & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
(SEE ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS AT END FOR MODELS WITH HEATER)
Safety Notice
It is important to read this Instruction Manual carefully before installing or using the product. Following
these instructions will ensure that your ventilation system is installed, commissioned and used properly and
continues to operate effectively. Vectaire will not be held responsible and will not accept liability for any dam-
age caused to persons or property through failure to follow the guidance provided in this manual. It should
always be available with the product for easy reference.
general Information
The Vectaire PPF9 positive pressure fan works on the principle of introducing tempered air drawn in through
the loft, creating a positive pressure in the building, which then dissipates through openings around the prop-
erty to provide a constant background air change. As the moisture content of the air outside is normally lower
than that indoors, the level of humidity is reduced, helping to eliminate the damaging effects of condensation.
The tempered, filtered fresh air is introduced via a short length of flexible ducting attached to a stylish,
ceiling-mounted valve. This discreet valve gently supplies the air in a circular direction, providing effective,
draught-free ventilation. The system automatically provides a fresh, tempered airflow into the home with mini-
mal power consumption.
The system is designed to run continuously and should NOT be switched off except for maintenance or filter
replacement. It is important to follow the advice in this user manual and correctly install and maintain the
system to ensure a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.
