DWFX-C Installation Method

Health and safety

• This process must be undertaken by competent per-

sons. More than one person may be required to ensure

the safe handling of large dampers and other materi-

als. Use must be made of access equipment to ensure

unsafe practices are not used to approach walls or dif-

cult access areas.

• Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel toe

cap boots, hard hat); together with any protective

eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or cutting is

being undertaken. The latter should also be used when

handing the wall construction materials, as dened by

the material suppliers. If loud equipment is being used,

hearing protection should be used.

• All waste materials should be collected and disposed of

as dened by the relevant supplier.

• Actuators: All wiring should be carried out in accor-

dance with the wiring details provided by the IEE and

BS regulations and by a competent person. Care must

be taken when installing and inspecting dampers, as

they are likely to close without warning due to loss of

electrical power or a temperature rise in the ductwork.

This is their prime function. Do not insert any items,

ngers or limbs between the blades. Larger dampers

must be handled in accordance with current regula-

tions and good practice due to weight.

Why Swegon actionair DWFX-C control mode does not operate electrically?
- N
  Nicole EspinozaAug 17, 2025
  If the control mode does not operate electrically, it could be due to several reasons. The ETR might not be correctly fitted to the duct; ensure it's screw-fixed to the duct, with both parts fully together, but avoid over-tightening. Incorrect wiring of the mode is another possibility; check the wiring according to the relevant procedures. Additionally, the ETR cables might be damaged or tampered with, in which case, replace the mode with a new one.
