X180T/DX180H)   

 

 

If installing in a wall (surface mounting)                         

)

 

1.  Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole 

A

2.  Use this centre to cut an opening through the wall Ø117mm, with a 
      slight fall to the exterior. 

3. 

Fit the wall tube (not supplied) and mortar into place.

 

 

If installing in a wall (flush mounting)

)                            )

 

1.  Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole 

A

, and drill a pilot hole 

      through both walls at a slight downward angle. 
2.  Use the centre to mark a rectangular hole for the inner wall using 
      the dimensions

      spigot 

6

 enters the ducting. 

7.  Fix the fan box 

5

 to the wall using suitable screws or to the ceiling 

      using appropriate fasteners (not supplied).

4.  Remove the retaining screws of the terminal cover 

4

, if still in 

position.  

5.  Wire the fan as shown in 

F

 using the cable clamp provided. Check 

fan model to diagram.                                                                      

6.  Replace the terminal cover 

4

 and fasten the retaining screws. 

7.  See section on 

“User adjustments

” if you wish to use settings other 

than those that have been factory set. 

8.  Refit the front cover 

1

 (Fig.

C

). 

9.  Connect the cable from the isolating switch to electrical supply 

wiring, and re-check installation. 

10. Refit fuses before turning on electricity supply. 
11. For fixed wiring circuits, the protective fuse for the appliance must 

not exceed 5A. 

 

For Australia Only

 

Permanently  connected  to  the  supply  and  a  remote  switch  controls 
operation.  They  should  be  directly  wired  to  the  supply  through  an 
approved  10A  wall  mounted  surface  switch  with  at  least  3mm 
clearance between contacts.

screw “RH” (Fig.

D

), clockwise to increase the relative humidity 

setting and anti-clockwise to decrease.                                      
(Note: the fan is more sensitive at 50% RH than at 90% and is 
factory set at approximately 70%).

Switched Operation 

The fan can be wired with a separate on/off switch.  Fan operates at 
condensation speed when switched on. When switched off, the fan will 
continue to operate if the humidity level exceeds the set level.  

 

Condensation Operation 

The fan operates at condensation control speed, when the relative 
humidity exceeds the set level, and turns off when the humidity drops. 
 

Cleaning
