Installation
If wall mounting the fan, you will also need:
A 100mm diameter prepared hole.
An appropriate external Wall Grille and Ø100mm wall sleeve duct (supplied). Cut ducting to correct length if required.
The wall tube supplied is telescopic and can be extended to 300mm maximum.
If ceiling mounting the fan, you will also need:
A 100mm diameter prepared hole.
A 100mm diameter prepared hole for the external grille, ideally positioned to allow condensation to run away from
the first bend in the duct towards the external grille.
Appropriate ancillaries for termination. These items are available from Xpelair:
1.
3m flexible ducting Ref: 89663AA. If the duct passes through a cold space use insulated duct ref: 89847AA.
2.
Soffit Grille Ref: 89742AW
If window mounting the fan, you will also need:
SSWIN - Simply Silent Window Kit. Ref: 92996AA
Installing the isolating switch and cables.
1.
Check that the electrical rating shown inside the back-plate matches your mains supply.
2.
Check there are no buried pipes or cables e.g. electricity, gas, water behind the switch location (in the wall or above
the ceiling). If in doubt, seek professional advice.
3.
Isolate the mains supply.
4.
Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the fan location via the on/off switch (if required).
5.
Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the point of connection to the mains supply.
Where to locate the fan.
Locate it as high as possible.
At least 110mm from the edges of the mounting surface to the centre of the hole.
As far away as possible from and opposite to the main source of air replacement to ensure airflow across
the room (e.g. opposite the internal doorway).
Near the source of steam or odours.
Not where ambient temperatures are likely to exceed 50°C.
If installed in a kitchen fans must not be mounted immediately above a cooker hob, or eye level grill.
If installing in a room containing a fuel burning device which has a non-balanced flue, it is the
installer's responsibility to ensure that there is enough replacement air to prevent fumes being
drawn down the flue when the fan is operating up to maximum extract. Refer to Building Regulations
for specific requirements.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue used for exhausting of fumes from appliances supplied
with energy other than electric. Requirements of all authorities concerned must be observed for
exhaust air discharge and intake flow rates.
Not suitable for use in possible chemical corrosive atmospheres.
Warning: Do not make any connections to the electrical supply at this stage.
What the installer will need.
3mm electrician’s screwdriver and No.1 or 2 Pozidrive screwdrivers.
A means for disconnection in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with wiring
regulations
If metal switch boxes are used, earthing regulations must be followed.
The cross-sectional area of the supply cord used should be ranged from 1-1.5mm².
