Diffuser Overview

4.3 Fitting The Ceiling Diffuser

To install the diffuser, use the tear-out template from the lid of the unit 
packaging and trace the shape onto the ceiling between two convenient 
joists. The shape is elliptical to allow space for the PCB of the controls 
and this should be positioned for ease of access (i.e. NOT facing over 
a stairwell). Once the shape has been cut out, position the ceiling and 
secure it in place using the 4 screws and plugs provided. After fitting 
attach the diffuser cap to the frame using the four built-in press on clips 
provided. 

5.0 HEATER INSTALLATION

The heater unit must be electrically connected to the ceiling vent and 
fan unit using the 3 looms that protrude from the heater module. 
Connect the ceiling vent control loom to the circuit board on the ceiling 
vent and insert the heater module into the ceiling vent. Connect the 
interconnect loom into the rear of the fan unit. Connect the mains 
power loom into the power outlet on the underside of the fan unit.

The flexible duct (maximum length 2m) is connected to the base unit 
by inserting the duct over the outlet duct and held in place using the 
supplied cable tie.

Push heater enclosure onto the back of the  ceiling diffuser ensuring all 
four clips engage.

Finally when installing the duct to the heater unit insert the duct over 
the back of the heater, over the four protruding lugs and fasten the 
cable tie below. This ensures that the duct will be held on securely, 
check all duct joints are air tight. 

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above 
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or 
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision 
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and 
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the 
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by 
children without supervision.

Precautions must be taken to avoid the back-flow of gases into the 
room from the open flue of gas or other fuel-burning appliances.

Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring as 
shown in the wiring diagram in accordance with IEE wiring or national 
wiring rules.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting 
of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied 
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected 
to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

3.1 Loft Inspection

Check to ensure that the loft has adequate ventilation. There may be 
occasions where a loft is so well sealed that additional ventilation may 
have to be provided by the owner/occupier.

Ensure 

that all water tanks are covered and sealed.

Check

 that all water pipes are lagged.

Ensure 

that any extract fans are discharging to outside and not 

into the loft.

Check 

that the loft hatch is tightly sealed.

Ensure

 that all holes in the ceilings are sealed  i.e. ceiling light 

fittings etc.

Check 

any flues or chimneys for leakage in the loft via a visual 

inspection, should be carried out by the installer.

If any

 leakage points are found, or if there is any doubt at all, then 

the installer should advise the house owner/provider as soon as 
possible and seek instruction from them before proceeding with 
the installation.

 

4.0 DIFFUSER INSTALLATION

4.1 Siting The Diffuser

The diffuser has a unique air throw pattern and it is essential that it is 
located correctly in the central hallway in single storey properties or in 
the ceiling of the top floor landing on 2 or more storey dwellings. 
The diffuser discharges air evenly in all directions along the underside of 
the ceiling.

SMOKE ALARMS - It is also important to ensure that the diffuser is 
NOT placed within 1 metre of a smoke alarm.

If the diffuser cannot be repositioned, the diffuser must be positioned 
so as to encourage the air through the 2 open sides that face at least 1.5 
metres of unobstructed area away from the smoke alarm sensor.
