A. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The fan should only be used in conjunction with fixed wiring.

PANEL/CEILING MOUNTING

1. For panel/ceiling mounting the fan should be installed into a closed duct system
of at least 1.2m long or protected by an exterior air grille that must comply with
the standard requirements of your country to prevent access to the fans
impeller.

2. Cut a 105mm diameter hole for 100mm fans or a 155mm diameter hole for
150mm fans.

3. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the grille and remove the front grille. Mark
the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw
into position.

4. Replace the grille and tighten the retaining screw.

5. After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely and the shutters can open.

WALL MOUNTING

1. For wall mounting either cut a 115mm diameter hole for 100mm fans or a
170mm diameter hole for 150mm fans, through the wall and insert the wall
sleeve. Slope the sleeve slightly downwards away from the fan. Cut to length
and cement both ends into position flush with the wall faces.

2. Loosen the screw in the bottom of the grille and remove the front grille. Mark
the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw
into position. Fix exterior grille into position with the louvres positioned
downwards. (Note:- The grille must comply with the standard
requirements of your country to prevent access to the fans impeller. The wall kit
used in this installation should provide a minimum ducting length of 60mm from
the fans back plate to the inside of the external grille).

3. Replace the grille and tighten the retaining screw.

4. After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely and the shutters can open.

pre-set time after the switch is turned ‘OFF’.

TIMER ADJUSTMENT

BEFORE ADJUSTING THE TIMER, SWITCH OFF THE MAINS SUPPLY.
TIMER SHOULD ONLY BE ADJUSTED BEFORE OR DURING
INSTALLATION.

1. Remove the fan grille. The controller is factory set at 15 minutes approx.

The overrun time period can be adjusted from 5-25 minutes by altering
the adjuster on the control PCB.

2. To REDUCE the operating time, use a small screwdriver to turn the

adjuster Fig.5. ANTI-CLOCKWISE.

3. To INCREASE the operating time, use a small screwdriver to turn the

adjuster Fig.5. CLOCKWISE.

4. Replace the fan grille.
