Funcionament
The Xpelair GX6EC fan operates as a single-speed extractor. It is typically controlled via an external switch (e.g., light switch or dedicated fan switch).
Ús del ventilador:
- Encesa: Activate the external switch connected to the fan. The fan will begin to operate.
- Shutter Operation: The silent electro-thermal shutter will automatically open after the fan is switched on. This process may take approximately one minute for the shutter to fully open. This delay is normal and indicates proper function of the thermal shutter mechanism.
- Apagat: Deactivate the external switch. The fan will stop, and the electro-thermal shutter will automatically close after a short delay (typically a couple of minutes) to prevent backdrafts.
Important Note: While the electro-thermal shutter helps prevent backdrafts, some users have noted that in very windy conditions, minor drafts may still be perceptible. This is a characteristic of the design and not indicative of a fault.
