7. Mount the fan in the hole (Fig. 4).
Xpelair recommend that the instructions of this section are carried
out by two people.
If working above ground floor level, appropriate safety
precautions must be observed.
If installing the fan in a window, fix the three rubber edge
protectors (packed separately), at equal distances around the lip of
the Outer Clamp Plate.
1. Attach the ladder strips (packed separately) to the Outer Clamp
Plate.
2. Hold the Outer Grille up to the outside of the wall or window
so that the lip of the Outer Clamp Plate protrudes into the hole.
3. Hold the Inner Clamp Plate to the inside of the wall or window
and guide the ladder strips from the Outer Clamp plate through
the slots in the Inner Clamp Plate.
4. Insert the slotted screws (packed separately) into the pockets
around the ladder strip slots
5. Tighten the screws carefully to make a good seal.
Do not over-tighten the screws.
6. Trim the ladder strips back to the required length. If necessary
remove any sharp edges.
8. Refit the Fan to the Inner Clamp Plate.
1. Fit the Fan assembly onto the Inner Clamp Plate (Fig. 3).
2. Make sure that the ladder strips go inside the fan assembly so
they will not get caught in the blades.
3. Tighten up the four screws.
Do not over-tighten
.
9. Wire the electrical connections
1. Remove the fan Connector Plate carefully by unscrewing the
two screws (Fig. 5). The black Connector Assembly parts are
contained loosely behind this plate.
2. Remove the two cable clamp screws in the black connector
assembly (Fig. 8).
3. If required, feed the cable through the grommet (packed
separately) in order to fit to the cable entry of the Connector
Plate.
4. Wire the Fan Connectors as shown in Fig. 6.
10. Fitting the cable clamp:
For mains cable up to 6mm diameter, clamp the cable as shown in
Fig.8a
For mains cable equal to or greater than 6mm and up to 10mm
diameter, clamp the cable as shown in Fig. 8b.
For mains cable greater than 10mm diameter, use the conduit entry
provided (Europe only).
11. Fitting the Connector to the fan:
1. Ensure the mains cable is firmly retained by the clamp.
2. Assemble the black fan connector by snapping the cover over
the connector (Fig. 7).
3. Plug the black fan connector into the fan assembly.
4. Refit the Connector Plate.
5. Refit the Back-draught Shutter.
6. Refit the Inner Grille.
7.
Switch off the mains electrical supply and remove fuses.
8. Connect the cable from isolation switch to the electrical supply
wiring.
9. Replace the fuses, and switch on the mains electrical supply.
For fixed wiring circuits the protective fuse for the appliance
must not exceed 5A.
12. Pairing the RF switch to the fan
To prevent interference between other RF systems, the fan and
switch need to be ‘paired’ together.
1. Remove the inner grille by first removing the screw from the
underside of the grille then unclipping the bottom of the grille,
the top of the grille can then be released by unclipping the top
corner. NOTE: The top of the grille can only be released when
the screw is removed and the bottom of the grille has been
released (Fig. 2)
2. Press the ‘pairing’ switch on the fan ‘on’ (Fig. 10)
3. Refit the inner grille.
4. Take the RF switch and operate adjacent to the fan. Once the
fan operates, switch and fan are ‘paired’.
There is a 2 minute
period after pressing the pairing switch when fan and RF
switch can be paired. After this time the fan defaults to the non-
pairing condition.
5. Re-fit screw to underside of grille.
13. Operating the fan
• This fan provides a choice of 5 running speeds or passive
ventilation when operated by the appropriate RF switch. Refer to
the instructions for the controller for operating instructions.
• The shutters have a time delay of up to 1 minute on opening, and
up to 3 minutes on closing. Activated by operation of the switch,
the delay ensures quiet operation.
WARNING – This appliance can be used by children aged
from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance of the appliance shall not be made
by children.
14. Trickle ventilation
Trickle ventilation is equivalent to that provided by an air brick or
similar device.
1. Remove the Inner grille and back draught shutter (see ‘Mounting
the fan in the hole’ section).
To allow trickle ventilation:
2. Release the Shutter Return Spring as shown in Fig. 9
3. Re-Position the Shutter Return Spring into the L-shaped slot.
4. Raise the Operating Bar to latch into position.
To fully close the shutters and stop any back draught
5. Unlatch the Shutter Return Spring and re-position into short slot.
6. Refit the Back-draught Shutter and Inner Grille.
15. Maintenance
NOTE: A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN MUST CARRY OUT
ALL CLEANING.
1
.
Before cleaning, isolate the fan completely from the mains
supply. Allow 3 minutes for the impeller to stop and the
powered shutter to close.
2. Remove the inner grille and back-draught shutter (see section 6)
WARNING: Fan will still operate when the inner grille is
removed.
3. Remove the impeller by unscrewing the knob at the front of the
impeller anticlockwise.
4. Clean the back draught shutter, inner grille and impeller by
immersing in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the fan in water or other liquids to clean any
other parts of the fan.
5. Refit the impeller by locating it over the motor shaft. Make sure
the impeller is seated correctly.
6. Refit the knob making sure the ratchet at the rear of the knob is
fully engaged.
