1.
When mounting the inlet vent make sure
it’s
far enough from the flue to avoid excess heat on the fascia and will not
ingest too much smoke when the firebox is opened, (Between one and two meters from the flue.) The fascia mounting
body must fit freely in the hole
2.
Finally, attach the ducting to the rear of the fascia body, secure with provided cable tie, repeat step for outlet vents.

3.
Slide the outlet vent fascia mounting back into place and screw into place using the four 6x¾ pan head screws
provided. Press the fascia ring onto the body and then screw the centre diffuser into position
4.
In the ceiling cavity suspend the motor junction from the rafters. When fitting the ducting, ensure that the arrows on the
motor housing are pointing in the direction of the outlet vent.
There is a directional arrow on the main fan body showing the flow of air through the inline fan unit.
FINAL STEPS
Finally, connect the wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram above.
Note:
Approximate means of disconnection are required to be incorporated in the fixed wiring. This product must be
installed by registered Electrician.
CLEANING AND MAINTANANCE
To clean the fascia, simply wash it by hand with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use abrasives or solvent
cleaners.
The fan unit needs to be wiped clean internally every 2 years to remove dust and residue from the fan blades and
motors
and the terminal connections also need to be checked and tightened at this time.
All this maintenance work must be undertaken by a registered Electrician
.
Isolate the unit from the mains before cleaning.
LENGTH OF DUCT
Have the
Heat Transfer System
fan junction-to-room lengths as short as possible,
2 lengths (6mtrs) of ducting must be fitted between the inlet grill and the Fan motor junction. if necessary an extra long inlet
can be boosted by an inline fan (Weiss FV05CP) wired back to the main fan terminals. Have the duct stretched out and as
straight as possible. Be sure to cut off any excess. Support duct and bends from the rafters as necessary.
**PLACEMENT OF OUTLETS
Keep the outlet ducting lengths as short as possible - this increases efficiency. It is not necessary, to put outlet in the centre
of the room. The outlet vent needs only to be in the corner of the room.
Note:
It takes a while to heat a room and is dependent on humidity and on the moisture content of the furnishings. For
warm air to flow the system must be “open” i.e., doors open back to the inlet. The fire or heat source needs to be turned
full up.
Air the house occasionally in fine weather. High studs, or badly insulated homes will remain more difficult to heat
than low ceiling
–
well insulated homes.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
This product has been designed to operate most efficiently with up to 15 meters of ducting.
If you require longer ducting, we recommend that you install the Weiss™ Inline fan unit (Cat No FV05CP) along with a
Weiss™ Insulated Ducting length –
with joiner (Cat No FV63)
The optional Inline fan motor is best placed on the inlet side of the main fan.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q
: Will the air from the outlet feel hot?
A
: It will depend on the available heat from the heat source. An outlet temperature of about 20ºC to 25ºC is common, but
this will not feel warm to your hand. Average skin temperature of your hand is 28-32ºC.
Q
: Do I use the controller supplied.
A
: A controller MUST always be used.
Q
: My house has a high stud / is badly insulated, will this product still work?
A
: Yes, but obviously not as well as in a well insulated low-stud home. It will always take longer to warm a large volume
