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 higher than 40°C or less than
–5°C.
•
Possible obstructions which would hinder the access or removal of the Fan.

Sudden ductwork bends or transformations close to 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 double pole isolator switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm.
C.
The control unit is intended for permanent connection to the fixed electrical supply.
D.
The controller is only suitable for use with one fan unit.
E.
The fan is only suitable for use with the safety extra low voltage DC transformer controller supplied. The unit
MUST NOT be connected directly to the mains voltage electrical supply.
F.
Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency, and Phase) complies with the rating label.
G.
The transformer controller requires free air circulation and must not be recessed into the mounting surface or
covered with any insulating material that might be in a ceiling or roof void.
H.
The Fan should only be used in conjunction with the appropriate Vent-Axia products.
I.
It is recommended that the connection to the fan connecter terminals is made with flexible cable.
J.
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.
K.
The Fan should not be used where it is liable to be subject to direct water spray for prolonged periods of time.
L.
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.
M.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
N.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
O.
The luminaire shall, under no circumstance, be covered by insulating matting or similar material.
A
INSTALLATION.
The unit is designed to be installed in 100mm ducting. The
ducting run should not exceed 3m. The flexible ducting should
be fully extended to obtain the best results. Position the fan at
the highest point on the system with both ducting runs sloping
downwards from this point. In circumstances where an
excessive amount of moisture is present in the air then a
condensation trap should be installed. Pass the cable supplying
power to the fan through the grommet provided. Secure the
duct to the fan once wiring is complete.
INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER LIGHT
Cut a 102mm hole in the ceiling between the joists, once the shower Light position has been determined. Hold the body of
the shower light against the ceiling and mark the four screw holes (alternatively use the fixing clips to secure the fan in the
ceiling). See Fig 2 below.
LIGHTING TRANSFORMER - WIRING DETAIL
Connect the transformer to the shower light and to a suitable power
supply, ideally the switched live of the extractor fan or bathroom
lighting circuit. (see Fig.4 for timer model, or for standard model see
Fig.3)
IMPORTANT:-The shower light must not work independently of
the fan.
Where the installation does not permit connecting the LV
leads from the lamp housing directly into the remote transformer an
extended lead can be used.
