USER GUIDE About your new 3000S system The Merlin 3000S system is designed to vary the speed of ventilation based on multiple factors; 1) Real-time gas usage via a turbine gas meter; 2) Carbon dioxide (CO ) detected levels in the area;...
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE System Positioning The control panel is designed for surface mounting using 4 mounting screws. 3000S Control Removing the cover on the panel gives access to the circuit board (PCB). Panel Remove the PCB before drilling entry holes into the case.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE 1. POWER IN A 100-240VAC electrical supply should be supplied to the panel. This should be fused at 3A. 2. GAS VALVE The gas solenoid valve should be powered using the terminal detailed [L N E GAS VALVE].
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE 9. PRESSURE SENSOR The terminals are detailed [PRESSURE SENSOR] - [+ / - / IN]. Connect to the gas pressure transducer (supplied separately) by screwing into the downstream port on the gas solenoid valve. Please ensure this is wired to the 3000S as shown.
TBX – Turbine Gas Meter has two types of pulse output – 'unit pulse' and 'high density pulse'. The Merlin 3000S requires a high density pulse wire. 16. FIRE PANEL The terminal for fire alarms is detailed on the circuit board as [FIRE PANEL]. These connections are linked out as a factory setting.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE 18. OPTICAL SENSOR (ZONE 1) The terminals detailed on the circuit board as [OPTICAL SENSOR] - [ + / - ] [ 1 / 2 ] are wired to the optical sensor (supplied separately). 19. DUCT TEMP (ZONE 1) This is a low resistance connection to the duct temperature sensor to drive fans on an automatic varied speed based on extraction duct temperature levels.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE 22. 0-10V OUTPUT – Extract Fan The terminals for the 0-10VDC outputs are detailed on the circuit board as [EXTR. FAN] & [SUPP. FAN]. These connections are used to regulate external fan speed controllers (supplied separately) which can accept this control signal.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE Boost Button To boost the ventilation and prompt maximum fan speed - Press and Release the [Boost] button located on front fascia and the pre-selected boost time will display on screen. When boost time reaches zero, the fans will automatically return to normal operation mode.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE Installation Settings SETTINGS 1 menu Open Panel Ensure the [SETTINGS 1&2 DIP SWITCH] is OFF. Turn the key switch OFF. [SETTINGS 1 DIP SWITCH] - Switch it ON. Turn the key switch to ON.
PROVE TIME This can be set to 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90 seconds. The Merlin 3000S has an option for cooling the duct for a period of time when the system is switched off by key. Fan Overrun can be set to OFF (factory set) or continue to run from a period of FAN OVERRUN 1 to 30 minutes.
Calibration can take up to 3 minutes. Whilst calibrating, the screen opposite will be displayed The Merlin 3000S will then confirm successful calibration If the system encounters a problem – the screen may display the following; Too many pulses Not enough pulses...

SPEED WE DO NOT RECOMMEND A SUPPLY FAN SPEED HIGHER THAN EXTRACT FAN SPEED. The Merlin 3000S has a built-in fan speed control - ON/OFF feature. EXTRACT FAN ENABLE This can work as N/O or N/C (NC default). The Merlin 3000S has a built fan speed control - ON/OFF feature.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE Warning Status HIGH USING 0-10V INPUT TERMINALS When CO gas is detected above alarm level (see CO Monitor manual) the screen will appear and the fans will drive at maximum speed. When the CO gas returns below alarm level, the system will return to normal operation.
Merlin 3000S USER GUIDE Fault Status EMERGENCY STOP If an emergency stop button (remotely or direct) is pressed, the gas and contactor will shut off. Fans can be driven in a combination upon emergency stop activation– see settings. The Emergency Stop button must be reset before restarting the system.
