Frequently Asked Questions - ECA 100 ipro VZC Maico

How to set the start delay?

Press the setting button [11] (start delay) as many times as needed until the LED indicator for the desired duration lights up. Wait for the LED to flash twice and then turn off. The value is saved for the next cycle.

How to set the run-on time?

Press the setting button [12] (run-on time) as many times as needed until the LED indicator for the desired duration lights up. Wait for the LED to flash twice and then turn off. The value is saved.

What to do if the fan does not stop?

First check if the run-on time is set (max. 25 minutes). Wait for this time to elapse or reduce it using button [12]. Also check that no parasitic light source (pilot light) is keeping the device running.

How to clean the fan?

Before any cleaning, disconnect the mains fuse. Clean cover [6] and design cover [7] only with water, without aggressive cleaners. The interior of the fan can be cleaned with a dry cloth. For K models, do not force the slats.

The fan does not start, what to do?

Check if the start delay is active (wait up to 120 seconds). Check the mains fuse. If the impeller is blocked, call a specialist. For versions with a sensor, make sure the brightness or humidity threshold is exceeded.

Can I install the fan outdoors?

No, outdoor use is prohibited. The device is designed for fixed indoor installation in rooms such as bathrooms, toilets, storage rooms, etc.

What is the difference between the VZC version and the standard version?

The VZC version has an adjustable start delay and run-on time, as well as 4 control programs. The standard version requires a double switch for two speeds and has no built-in timer.

How to select the control program?

The programs (Comfort, Night, Economy, Power) are selected via jumpers J4 and J5 on the electronics. Comfort program (factory setting) uses speed 1 during operation and speed 2 during run-on. Refer to chapter 7.3 of the manual for settings.

What to do if the impeller is blocked?

Disconnect the mains fuse. Remove cover [6] and unlock the inner grille via the locking hooks. Check the impeller and clean it if necessary. This operation must be performed by a specialist.

The fan turns on unexpectedly, why?

This may be due to a parasitic voltage from a fluorescent pilot light or parallel cables. The recommended solution is to connect an X2 capacitor (220 nF/250 V) to the neutral.

UK | 2. Product information

Humidity control function for H and KH units

Once the fan is installed, it adjusts itself to the prevailing room humidity (relative humidity). This humidity value is saved as the first reference value. The reference value does not have to be specified manually.

If the relative humidity falls below the reference value during operation, the newly established reference value is saved. The lowest possible reference value is 48 % relative humidity.

If the room humidity increases by 7 %, the fan engages automatically at performance level 1 (78 m³/h).

• If the room humidity increases even further, the unit switches to performance level 2 (92 m³/h).
• If there are no further increases, the unit continues to run at performance level 1 until the humidity again falls below the saved reference value.

If the humidity falls below the reference value, overrun mode starts with the set overrun time. The current reference value is then saved. If the humidity does not fall below the reference value within 60 minutes, the unit switches to the set overrun mode and then switches off.

H and KH units can also be operated using the light switch. The set operating program starts when the light is switched on ( chapter 7.3). The operating program takes priority over the automatic humidity process. If the light is switched off, the unit continues to run until the remaining overrun time has passed. The automatic humidity process is then assigned maximum priority again and controls the unit as described above.

2.3 Intended use

• This fan is only intended for domestic use and similar purposes.

• Fan for or extracting air from bathrooms, toilet rooms, storage rooms, showrooms, offices, fitness studios, changing rooms and similar places.

• An operation is only permitted when:
  • permanent installation in buildings.

• installation on walls or ceilings.
  • air supply via shaft or pipe.
  • recessed mounted electrical connection.

- Window installation permitted with window installation kit FE 100/1, connection in flat channel duct systems permitted with spacing frame ECA-DR.

2.4 Predictable misuses

Maico is not liable for damages caused by use contrary to the intended purpose. Under no circumstances the unit should be used:

• in single air extraction systems according to DIN 18017-3.
• close to flammable materials, liquids or gases.
• for the conveying of chemicals, aggressive gases or vapours.
  • in potentially explosive atmospheres
• outdoors.

3. Environmental conditions and operating limits

• Maximum permitted temperature of the air medium + 40 °C.
• Sufficient supply air intake must be ensured during operation with air-ventilated fireplaces. The maximum permitted pressure difference per living unit is 4 Pa.
• Resistance to interference according to EN 55014-2 depending on pulse shape and energy component 1000 to 4000 V. If operating with fluorescent tubes, extra interference suppression measures are needed (L or C components or RC modules, protection diodes, varistors) because these values may be exceeded.
• Recommendation: Connect a X2-capacitor (220 nF/250 V) against neutral lead in case of a switch with negative-glow lamp. The capacitor is to be provided by the customer.
