45º under the control of the wall mount control switch. The Xvent is fitted with an ambient air temperature sensor as standard which is part of the bezel assembly fitted to the inside edge of the product. This sensor serves as a backup to the fire alarm system. If the sensor detects ambient air temperature of 72ºC (162°F) or more it will trigger fire behaviour.

Stuck Open If the Xvent is stuck in the open position and will not close electrically, the mechanisms can be removed to allow the lid to be closed manually. Manual override needs to be done externally, so access to the rooftop will be required (ensure that all necessary safety precautions are followed).

Two support legs (stocked by Glazing Vision) should be fitted to hold the lid in position allowing the Xvent to be safely worked on. Support legs must be fitted on both sides of the lid to ensure that there is adequate support, and it is critical that the height adjustment and clamp bolts are sufficiently tightened to prevent the legs from slipping (when working take care not to knock the support legs out of place).

Stuck Closed If the Xvent is stuck in the closed position and will not open electrically, the mechanisms can be disconnected to allow the lid to be opened manually. As the building will be watertight, manually overriding the Xvent from the closed position is best done when an engineer is on hand to resolve the issue.
Troubleshooting The Xvent control board monitors the operation of the product. If a fault is detected, the control board will disable the unit to prevent possible damage. Fault and standard conditions are indicated by the status light on the control switch. The following table shows the various status light displays and their meanings.
Due to the safety critical nature of this product, a Glazing Vision engineer must attend to re-initialise the Xvent if all attempts to reset the product fail. Glass Specification and Breakage Instructions Glass Specification Various options are available at time of order.
