Important: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMMENCING THE INSTALLATION
DO NOT install this product in areas where the following
may be present or occur:
• Excessive oil or a grease laden atmosphere.
• Corrosive or flammable gases, liquids or vapours.
• Ambient temperatures are outside 5- 50°C.
• Possible obstructions which would hinder the access or
removal of the Fan.
SAFETY AND GUIDANCE NOTES
A. All wiring to be in accordance with the current I.E.E.
Regulations, or the appropriate standards of your
country and MUST be installed by a suitably qualified
person.
B. The Fan should be provided with a local isolator switch
capable of disconnecting all poles, having a contact
separation of at least 3mm.
C. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage,
Frequency, and Phase) complies with the rating label.
D. The Fan should only be used in conjunction with the
appropriate Vent-Axia products.
E. The fan should only be used in conjunction with
fixed wiring.
2
F. When the Fan is used to remove air from a room
containing a fuel-burning appliance, ensure that the
air replacement is adequate for both the fan and the
fuel-burning appliance.
G. The Fan should not be used where it is liable to be
subject to direct water spray for prolonged periods
of time.
H. Where ducted Fans are used to handle moisture- laden
air, a condensation trap should be fitted. Horizontal
ducts should be arranged to slope slightly downwards
away from the Fan.
I. This appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
J. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
K. The exterior grille should be at least 2.3m above the
ground to prevent people from being able to access
moving parts. If the external grille is positioned between
0-2.3m from the ground, please use the Vent -A xia wall
kit to ensure people cannot access the fans impeller
from the outside.

Installation Preparation
• Loosen the motor unit by grasping it as shown in Figure
(A), prise off the motor unit by leveraging against the cap
with your knuckles. Ensure that you have the motor unit in
a secure grip so you do not drop it when it loosens.
• Then loosen the wall frame by using a screw–
driver pressing the lock button as shown in Figure (B)
then remove the cover from the wall frame according to
figure (C).

• Fit the enclosed wall
gasket as shown in

• Vent-Axia wall kits and external grilles are available as
accessories. (Figure E).
E.
The fan’s wall seal has a short spigot which fits inside the Ø100
mm pipe. Make sure when mounting to adapt the length of
the wall pipe so it does not push back the wall seal so the fan
impeller cannot rotate. Always customise a wall pipe, existing
or new, so it ends about 5 mm inside the wall surface where
the fan is to be installed. The wall frame with its seal is prepared
with 5 cable entry points (Figure F) for concealed electrical
connection or surface-mounted cable using the dimension
shown in Figure G.
• Make sure that the gasket is properly installed on the wall
frame, place it in the appropriate place and centre it in the
pipe.
The wall frame can be offset horizontally by placing a spirit
level on its support points
(Figure H and I).
• Use ageing-resistant sealant
to seal around cables that
are laid through the wall seal.

Always use a qualified electrician
All electrical connections 100-240V must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Any electrical work on the product must
utilise a voltage break.
Electrical connection can be made according to the wiring
diagram on page 8-9 and the fan is suitable for connection to
either 100-240VAc or 12VDC.
NOTE: The internal cable route must be as indicated as
figures K/K1 (240VAC) and L (12VDC) to prevent the cable
blocking the locator’s for the motor assembly.

When the fan senses somebody in the room it increases
the flow to 16l/s.
If the humidit y rises rapidly, for example when the shower
is on, the fan goes up to maximum flow at 30l/s.
When the fan senses the humidit y level has returned to
normal it reverts to the trickle flow of 10l/s.
If other settings or functions are desired, download the
Vent- Axia Connect App from the App Store and Google
Play.
