The concept is to introducefresh, filtered air into the dwelling at a continuous rate, encouragingmovement of air from inside to outside.To achieve this the unit is mounted in the loft space, drawing airthrough the filters and inputting it, at ceiling level, into the property.The DRI-ECO-3STOREY fan unit includes an internal sensor to regulatethe fan speed according to the temperature of the loft. The internalsensor is to increase airflow to the dwelling when the loft is warmerthan the house. The units ‘Fixed Temperature Heat Recovery’ strategyshall be achieved via a sensor located in the unit and shall improveenergy performance accordingly. The aluminium ceiling vent suppliedincludes an intumescent closure element.Once installed, the airflow can be set to suit the house size and, ifrequired, the way it responds to the temperature changes within.3.0 GENERAL INSTALLATIONSuccessful operation of the fan depends entirely upon the unit beinginstalled strictly in accordance with these instructions.Please read through this guide in its entirety before commencinginstallation and follow step by step to ensure a satisfactory completion.Whilst the installation of the DRI-ECO-3STOREY unit may be achievedby suitable persons, the provision of the electrical supply and theconnection of the unit to the mains must be carried out by a qualifiedelectrician.Warning: Isolate from power supply before removing any covers.
