3.2 Surface Mounting

Remove the fan from the box, taking care to dispose of the packing 
material properly. Check the location of existing wiring for ease of 
connection. For optimum performance site the fan a minimum of 2.3m 
above ground level. 

In the wall or ceiling, cut a hole as follows:

SLIMAIRE / NA 100X fans - 100mm Ø (taking care to allow any 
necessary space for ducting).

SLIMAIRE / NA 150X fans - 150mm Ø - for through wall 
installation.

SLIMAIRE / NA 150X fans - 156mm Ø - for installation using a wall 
liner or telescopic ducting.

For any other wall or ceiling installation check sizes before cutting the 
hole. 

It is the installer's responsibility to use the appropriate core 

cutter to obtain the correct hole diameter.

Dismantle the fan:

Remove the front cover (3) by unscrewing front fixing screw (1).

Using the motor fan assembly (4) of the fan as a template, mark 
the hole drilling positions to fix the fan to the wall or ceiling N.B 
use the holes already knocked out in the top right and bottom left 
corners of the back of the motor fan assembly.

Drill the 6mm dia holes.

Using the wall plugs and long screws provided, fix the motor fan 
assembly (4) to the wall/ceiling.

Before fixing the fan to the wall, 

decide whether to have the cable 

entering the fan through the knocked-out hole on the top of the 
motor fan assembly (4) or whether through the back of the motor fan 
assembly (4).  In the first case the included cable clamp will need to be 
used.  In the second option the cable entry hole will need to be knocked 
out.

Connect to electricity supply via a double pole switch of a suitable size, 
with contact openings of at least 3mm.

Fix back the front cover (3) of the fan.

For window installation (with optional window kit) see instructions on 
page 2.
