Each remote control is intended for exclusive use with Airflow AIROVENT RF MEV WH4H Central Extract Units. If bought separately, the remote control must be connected for the first time to the Airflow ventilation unit by the installer. Page 3 of 28...
Safety Information and Guidance IMPORTANT! Read these instructions carefully before installing this Mechanical Central Extract Unit. This manual covers the operation of the AIROVENT RF MEV WH4H MECHANICAL EXTRACT UNIT WITH BUILT-IN HUMIDITY SENSOR only. It must therefore be read in conjunction with the relevant AIROVENT RF MEV WH4H CONTROLLER User Manual.
Any damage to the fan or packaging should be inspected by a suitably qualified person or returned to Airflow Developments Ltd for inspection before use. Fans should not be lifted or carried by an electrical lead, if fitted.
Electrical Installation All electrical installations must be carried out by an approved electrician in accordance with the latest IET BS7671 Requirements for Electrical Installation, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, Machinery Directive 89/392/CE, or the appropriate regulations in the country of installation. All fans require a 240V 50 Hz single phase supply.

Immediately switch off the fan should any problems be found, and contact Airflow Developments Ltd. Fan motors used are suitable for continuous running and have a rated duty type S1 (motor is suitable to this duty type and rating at which the fan may be operated for an unlimited period).
Units should be installed to a sufficiently solid structure giving adequate support. Fixings suitable for the mounting surface should be used. Airflow Developments Rubber mount (Part No: 90001294) can be used to help protect against mechanical noise transmission into the mounting surface.

Duct Connections This unit has three Ø125m and one Ø125/ 160mm diameter ports moulded on the extract duct connection box. Three ports are sealed off with blanking plates. The Ø125/ 160mm diameter port offers a choice of duct size, this is to help duct system pressure on higher airflows. Care should be taken when removing the Ø125mm diameter port and membrane to ensure no excess force is used which could cause irreputable damage.
Final connections can be made with a short length of flexible ducting (Part No. 52641009) and the correct sealing clamps (Part No. 51849403). The use of excessive amounts of flexible ducting will result in high system pressures and a noisy system. Ridged duct connections should be sealed with a non-hardening sealant (Part No.

When electric power to the unit is re-installed the LED on the PCB will flash red and green (PCB Main Features – Page 10) and then remain green for 3 minutes. In this is the time RF controllers can be paired to the unit. Please refer to the instruction leaflet included with the controller purchased with this unit and follow the pairing instructions provided.
Fan Performance Settings This unit has two airflow performance curves to choose from. Each performance curve is broken down into three bands, low, medium, and high. Each band has several fan speeds to choose from. All of which can be set by adjusting the dip switch settings.
Failure to do so causes excess system pressure which will reduce the systems airflow, make the system noisier and ultimately lead to fan unit failure. To clean the unit, firstly remove the unit’s white, top protective cover held on by the locking tabs –...
