FUSES 

Switched units: A fuse is provided on the switch front plate. 

Speed controlled units: An additional fuse is provided within the speed control panel. To check this fuse, 
remove the service panel; the speed control panel is mounted on the rear of the service panel. 

Ducted Units 

As standard, VertExes are configured to discharge upwards through the top of the unit, without ductwork. 
Ducting should not be retrofitted to the discharge from the unit without consultation with the manufacturer. 

When configured for exhaust to atmosphere via ductwork a discharge spigot will be visible. These units are 
designed to connect to ductwork of the same size as the discharge spigot (generally 250 or 300 mm diameter). 

Ducting should be installed by a professional and should not provide greater than 100 Pascals resistance. 
Flexible ducting should be avoided as it may cause excessive back-pressure on the fan, and lead to reduced 
airflow. 

Any other configuration is non-standard and should be discussed with the manufacturer. 

Assembly of Accessories 

These items apply only when they have been ordered with the VertEx. 

ENCLOSURE 

Enclosures are supplied flat packed for assembly at point of use. Each enclosure is supplied with installation 
drawings and assembly should follow the process laid out in these drawings.
