Fresh Intellivent is a completely new type of

bathroom fan that sets a completely new standard

for this type of product. The starting point has been

to provide a signicantly higher level of user-

friendliness, at the same time as new technology is

introduced. In other words – a new generation of fan.

Over a period of many years we have gathered

information from our customers on their needs. This

has provided the inspiration for a large number of

innovative functions that make it easier for you, the

user, to let the fan do its job, just the way you want.

Important aspects for customers have been, among

others: design, user-friendliness, life span, noise level,

cleanability and power consumption.

Life span

Asthereisanintegratedpoweradapterinthefanwe

have been able to use a low voltage motor that has a

life span of approximately 60,000 hours. This is about

3-5 times longer than a standard fan. The motor uses

extremely quiet bearings. You can now also let the

fan run continuously without risk of failure after one

year.

Two fans in one – dierent dimensions,

both 100 & 125

For the rst time we can also introduce a bathroom

fan for which you are free to choose the dimension.

Thefactthatyoucanchoosewhetheryouwant100

or125isamajoradvantage,asthesearethetwo

sizes usually used for exhaust air ducts. If you choose

tousesize125,thenoiselevelisevenlowerandthe

capacity even higher. Thus, with two sizes of adapter

available, you get two fans in one pack!

Cleanability – naturally

Averypopularfunctionbeingintroducedforthis

product is the ability to simply open the centre

of the fan and gain access to the duct. Using the

”swing-out” function you can easily clean and clear

clogged grilles on the outside of the façade, for

example. Press the snap-in catch and swing out the

motor – that’s it!

DESCRIPTION »

Extremely quiet

The design of the low voltage motor used in the

fan ensures silent operation. Those of you who previ-

ouslyhadafanwithaconventionalACmotorwill

hardly notice that your Intellivent is running when

it is installed and operational. Tests show that today

Fresh Intellivent is the quietest fan on the market.

Integrated safety switch

In principle, no fan on the market today has an in-

tegratedsafetyswitch.Europeanelectricalsafety

standards require any permanent electrical apparatus

installed to be preceded by an omnipolar switch.

This means that you must install a separate switch on

the wall before the cable reaches the fan. Fresh Intel-

livent has an integral omnipolar switch which means

youdonotneedtoinstallaseparateswitch.As

standard. Very cost ecient for you, the consumer,

and it also guarantees a quicker installation time –

very smart.

Airing function

Fresh Intellivent has an integrated function which

meansthatwhenthefanhasbeeninactivefor16

hours, it runs an airing program for 60 minutes to

air and exchange the air in the bathroom. No more

worries about stuy, musty odours in the bathroom

when you have been away for a while.

Power consumption

By using a low voltage motor we can signicantly

reduce power consumption. The fan only consumes

5 watts, about a third of what a conventional bath-

room fan uses.

15

Full surface-mounted installation

Fresh Intellivent is designed so that it can be fully

surface-mountedifyouchoosenottoinstalla100

or125adapter.Thisisidealifyouhaveaductthat

directly after the hole. No other conventional bath-

roomfanisabletooerfullsurfacemounting.Don’t

worry, we have considered other options as well.

Provided the fan does not protrude by more than

30 mm, there is still plenty of room for connecting

cables(bothFKandEKK)forquickandeasyinstalla-

tion!

Design

WithFreshIntellivent,weareintroducingabrand

new front cover design. By making the cover of

colourlessABSplasticandthenpaintingtheinside

with high-quality water-based metallic paint, we

have managed to obtain a surface depth that is

aesthetically pleasing and in harmony with other

modern bathroom xtures. The covers can be pro-

duced in dierent colours to satisfy dierent material

and colour options. The visible blades give the fan a

retro feel and ensure a very low noise level.

One world – one version

Thanks to the integrated power adapter, both

frequency and voltage are adapted to suit the fan

motor, meaning you can install the fan anywhere in

theworld,50or60Hzor115or230volts–itmakes

nodierence.However,youmusttakenational

electrical safety regulations into consideration. Fresh

Intellivent is currently only approved for the whole of

Europe.Approvalinotherareastofollow.

HUMIDITY CONTROL »

Automatic moisture detection system

Fresh Intellivent is equipped with a brand new gen-

eration of humidity control system and is designed

to further simplify operation for you as a user.

For the rst time we can now introduce fully auto-

matic humidity control, which means the fan learns

to run only when it can make a dierence.

This means that the fan no longer needs to be

adjusted manually to start when there is excessive

moistureintheair.Alloftoday’shumidity-controlled

fans require this kind of manual adjustment, and

adjustments are aected by season.

The integrated “sni” function means the fan is

continually asking itself whether it is making a dif-

ference. If the fan can lower the humidity of the air,

it starts automatically. This “intelligence” is controlled

via an integrated microprocessor, which uses soft-

ware newly developed after years of testing in dierent

environments.Whenthefanisunabletolowerthe

humidity any further, it stops.

The fan also has two capacity modes for humidity

control, silent or max.

If you have set the fan to silent mode, the fan runs

as per its basic specication. This equates to normal

capacity, but the noise level is extremely low. If you

have set the fan to maximum mode, the fan runs

at maximum speed and its capacity is about 30 %

higher than an equivalent standard fan.

If you have a small bathroom, silent mode is the

obvious choice. If you have a large bathroom, you

can also choose maximum mode and the higher ca-

pacity,especiallyifyouhaveselecteddimension125.

If you want to relax in the bath and temporarily turn

o the fan even if the humidity function is active,

pull the pull cord (if installed) and the fan will switch

o (pause) for one hour. The humidity function is

re-activated when the fan resumes operation.

You can also cancel the forced stop function at any

time by pulling the cord again. The fan then resumes

operation with the humidity function running.

17

Timer

Fresh Intellivent has an integrated timer that you

can activate in several dierent ways, either via the

light switch, pull cord or a separate switch, standard

or momentary. You can also link switched live with

phase in the fan, which means the fan can run non-

stop. The control panel can easily be used to set the

requiredpost-runningtimeof5,15or30minutes,

depending on the size of your bathroom. If the fan is

activated by the light switch, there is a turn-on delay

of90seconds.Ifyouareonlyinthebathroombriey,

the fan will probably not need to start. The green

LEDashesfasterandfasteruntilthefanstarts;the

LEDthenremainslit.

The fan’s timer can be connected in four dierent

ways as follows:

1. Activation with pull cord

Attachthesuppliedpullcordandactivatethefan’s

timer by pulling on the cord.

Withthissetup,thefanstartsimmediately.

Thedelaybeforethefanstopsis5,15or30minutes

(post-running time), depending on your preferred

control panel setting.

You can cancel the timer function by pulling on the

cord a second time.

2. Constant timer function (low speed)

Ifphase(L)islinkedtoswitchedlive(SL),thefanruns

constantly at the selected speed.

Typically, a lower speed is selected for constant

operation to ensure silent operation at minimum

capacity.

Whenhumidairispresentthefanrunsinthese-

lected mode of silent or maximum.

Once the humid air has been expelled, the fan re-

turns to running at low speed.

You can adjust the low speed setting using the speed

buttons (plus or minus) on the control panel.

Integrated speed control

Fresh Intellivent also features an integrated speed

control that controls the fan’s capacity when the

timerisenabled.Ifyouhavelinkedswitchedlive(SL)

with phase for continuous operation, you may de-

cide, for example, to let the fan run at low speed for

silentoperation.Whenthefannextdetectshumid

air it switches to the function and speed you have

chosen, silent or max mode. It is, however, the maxi-

mum speed that controls the fan, i.e. if you have set

a higher speed for the timer than the speed selected

for silent mode with humidity control, the fan will

always run at the higher speed. Using a lower speed

for the humidity function when you have continuous

operation would be illogical. Typically, a lower speed

is selected for constant operation, ensuring silent

minimum capacity.

Whenhumidairispresentthefanrunsinthese-

lected mode of silent or maximum.

Once the humid air has been expelled, the fan re-

turns to running at low speed.

You can adjust the low speed setting using the speed

buttons (plus or minus) on the control panel.

You can use the control panel’s speed buttons to

select your preferred speed when the fan’s timer is

active.Whenthefanisinstalledforthersttimeitis

the plus and minus buttons are lit.

To increase the speed, press the plus button until

you reach the desired speed. There are four separate

intervals up. You cannot hold the button down to

increase the speed, you must press and release the

button each time. The speed increases by 7 per cent

each time you press the button. If you have in-

creased the speed from that used for normal mode,

If you want to reduce the speed, press the minus

button until you reach the desired speed. There are

six separate intervals down. You cannot hold the but-

ton down to reduce the speed, you must press and

release the button each time. The speed is reduced

by 6 per cent each time you press the button. If you

Control panel

Until now there has been no easy way to demon-

strate the functions of a bathroom fan, or to easily

set and control the fan to suit personal preferences.

Our aim has been for you as a user to be able to

control and understand basic fan functions without

havingtoreadtheguide.Andwethinkwehave

succeeded. If the control panel is not used for 30

seconds,itentersstandbymodeandalltheLEDs

go out (except possibly the one indicating current

fan function). To re-activate the control panel, press

anybuttononce.Settingsarenotchangeduntilyou

press another button. The buttons on the control

panel are good for at least one million operations,

which we believe is enough.
