1.1 Function

Use The EXHAUSTO EW 40 Wireless Fan Control is used to regulate EXHAUSTO chimney fans. The control maybeusedtooperatebothsolid-fuelandgas-firedfireplacesandstoves.Anoptionaltemperaturesensor may be installed to provide additional features. The EW 40 is for residential use, and may not be suitable for high rise or concrete buildings.

Description The EW 40 consists of a Power Unit and wireless Control Unit. The Power Unit must be hard-wired to the fan and positioned on the chimney near the fan or preferably in an attic space inside the building. The Control Unit may be placed anywhere in the room where the heating appliance is located. If the distance betweenthePowerUnitandControlUnitexceeds30feet,itmaybenecessarytoinstallaRepeaterUnit(sold separately).Nomorethanthree(3)RepeaterUnitsmaybeusedinasingleinstallation.

The Power Unit and Control Unit alone provide only an on/off function and fan speed control. When the Temperature Sensor is installed, the following functions are made available: Start-up Function.Extradraftisneededtolightafireinacoldfireplaceorstove.ThePowerUnitwill signal the chimney fan to go into “boost mode” (max. speed) for a set period (default is 7 minutes) when the ON/OFF switch is activated. After this period, the control automatically adjusts the speed to a lower level. If the temperature registered by the sensor exceeds the programmed start temperature, an asterisk (*) will appear on the display indicating it is possible to reduce the fan speed. Automatic Start. Iftheuserforgetstoturnonthechimneyfanbeforelightingafire,thefanwillstart automatically when the chimney warms up. The factory setting for this function is 77oF (25ºC) but can beadjustedtomeetuserspecifications.

RefiringFunction. Thisfunctionisusedwithsolid-fuelburningstovesandfireplacesonly.Whenthe temperature in the chimney falls below the set level, the sensor will send a signal to the Control Unit to alert the user that more fuel is needed. Once new fuel is added, the fan will run at max. speed for 3 minutes. Automatic Stop.Afterthelastrefiring,thetemperatureinthechimneywillgraduallydecrease.Thecontrol ensures the fan will operate for another 45 minutes to evacuate any remaining products of combustion.

1.5 EW 40 Control Components and Locations

TheEW40ControliscomposedofaControlUnit,PowerUnit,andanoptionalRepeaterUnit.The Control Unit serves as the user interface for the system and transmits a wireless signal to the Power Unit to initiate fanfunctions.Insomecases,itmaybenecessarytoinstallaRepeaterUnittoobtainsufficientcommunicationin the system. Functional wireless communication in the EW 40 depends on the following criteria:

Location of the Power Unit Relative to the Control Unit Fig. 1 shows the strength and direction of the wireless signal transmitted between the Control Unit and Power Unit. Notice that the signal is only transmitted at 30% of its full strength from the sides of the Units. EXHAUSTO recommends that the system not be installed in a way that communication signals are transmitted through these sides.

Obstructions Between the Power and Control Units Because the location of the Control Unit may affect the signal strength and operation of the EW 40, it is recommended that the units be placed in a location where minimal signal transmission through walls, ducts, and other obstructions is required. If unavoidable obstructions exist between the Control and Power Units, one or more RepeaterUnitsmaybeinstalledinbetween.

Distance Between the Power Unit and Control Unit The range of communication is affected by the resistance met by the signal. In the open air, the range extends over 450 feet however, this is reduced to 30 feet when the signal must travel through walls, buildings or other obstructions.IfthereistoomuchresistancebetweentheControlandPowerUnits,oneormoreRepeaterUnits maybeinstalledinbetween.OneRepeaterUnitwilladdapproximately30feetofcommunicationrange.

SignalInterference The Control Unit should also be placed as far away from other electrical devices as possible to reduce the possibility of signal interference. The display on the Control Unit will read “Service” when the signal is not strong enough for operation.

3. Mechanical Installation

3.1 General When installing the EW 40 in a single story home (where the signal will travel 30 feet or less), only a Power Unit and ControlUnitareneeded.Foramulti-storyhome,EXHAUSTOrecommendsthataRepeaterUnitbeinstalled between the Power and Control Unit to prevent loss of signal.

3.2InstallingthePowerUnit The Power Unit should be mounted on or near the chimney where the chimney fan is located. Fig. 3 shows a typical installation on the chimney. If required, the Power Unit may be installed in the attic or crawl space no more than 15’ away from the fan. If equipped with the temperature probe, the wiring may be extended up to 15’. Proceed as follows: • RemovethecoverfromthePowerUnit. • PositionthePowerUnitsothatthereismaximumsignaltransmissiontotheControlUnit(seeFig.1). • PlacethePowerUnitsotheelectricalfittingispointingdown(seeFig.3). • AttachPowerUnittothechimney,andreplacethecoverafterwiring(seeChapter4).

3.3InstallingtheControlUnit The Control Unit does not require permanant installation. It should be located indoors in the room where the heating appliance is located. Optionally, the control can be mounted directly to a wall. Location is important. Please review Chapter 1.4 for further information.

3.4InstallingtheTemperatureSensor Secure the Temperature Sensor as shown in Fig. 5 below: 1. Turn the fan over to provide access to the base plate. 2. Place u-bracket in the desired location. Mark the holes and two mounting holes. 3. Position the sensor so the tip reaches the center of the fan inlet. 4. Secure the u-bracket with two (2) sheet metal screws. 5. Once the sensor is installed, the ‘Sensor Mode’ setting on the Control Unit must be switched to “ON” to make additional functions available. See the procedure at the end of this section.

TosettheControlUnittooperatewiththetemperaturesensor,followtheprocedurebelow.RefertoFig.9in Chapter 3.6, if necessary.

4.2WiringthePowerUnit

To ease wiring of the control, please follow the instructions below:

WiringthePowerUnit/ChimneyFan:

1. RunwiresfromthejunctionboxsuppliedwiththeChimneyFanthrough 1/2” weathertight conduit to the Power Unit. 2. Connect the wires from the fan junction box to terminals 8 and 9, as shown in Chapter 4.1. 3. Connect the Temperature Sensor to terminals 6 and 7, as shown in Chapter 4.1. 4. Connect power supply to the terminals 1, 2, and 3, shown in Chapter 4.1. 5. A jumper wire should be connected to terminals 4 and 5. 6. Apply power to the Power Unit and verify power indicator LED is lit.

Communication Test: 1. Insert the two (2) size C-batteries in the Control Unit. The Power and Control Units are now connected. 2. Press the ON/OFF button to activate the Control Unit. If the message “NO SIGNAL” appears on the display, there is no connection between the two units. Move the Control Unit around in the room until the “NO SIGNAL” text disappears, and is replaced by an operational display. 3. If you are unable to establish a signal between the Power Unit and the Control Unit, you will need to install a RepeaterUnit.SeeChapter3.5.

Fig.12

NOTE: For the greatest range, ensure that the units are positioned correctly in relation to each other, and make sure there are as few obstructions between them as possible (See Chapter 1.5). The arrows in Fig. 2 show the transmission strength of the units in various directions. Materials that can decrease signal strength between the transmitter and receiver include sheet metal (i.e., ducts) and multiple walls.It may be necessary to adjust the positions of the units in relation to each other inside buildings with poor transmissionorreceptionconditions(adjustmentsofaslittleas1footcaninfluencethesignalduetopossiblereflectionsintheroom).

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to supply the conduit and connectors needed to wire the Power Unit to the Temperature Sensor and the power supply. Size should be Ø1/2” or Ø3/4”.

5.2SequenceofOperation Gas Fireplace: 1. When the gas igniter is activated and Control Unit is turned on, the EW 40 will run the fan in ‘boost mode’ for a set period. After this period the fan speed will automatically adjust to the set lever. If the temperature registered by the sensor exceeds the programmed start temperature, an asterisk (*) will appear on the control panel indicating the fan speed may be reduced.
