2.
Unscrew the 4 cross-headed screws and lift off the fan (Fig. 3)
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 and
green speed control connector 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.
If installing a GX9 EC3 with an On/Off switch and no speed
controller:
4.
Wire the Fan Connectors as shown in Fig. 6a – this will run the
fan at maximum speed.
If installing a GX9 EC3 with a MS2 Controller:
5.
Wire the Fan connectors as shown in Fig. 6b. Refer to the
installation instructions for the speed controller.
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.
Plug the green speed control connector into the fan assembly.
5.
Refit the Connector Plate.
6.
Refit the Back-draught Shutter.
7.
Refit the Inner Grille.
8.
Switch off the mains electrical supply and remove fuses.
9.
Connect the cable from isolation switch to the electrical supply
wiring.
10.
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. Operating the fan
Switch operated:
• To switch on and off, use the switch on the wall or ceiling.
Controller operated:
• Refer to the instructions for the controller.
• 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 is not intended for use by persons
(including children and the infirm) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
13. 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.
14. 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.

.
Refit the back draught shutter and inner grille assembly and
secure with the fixing screw
.
Do not over-tighten the screws
8.
Refit the screw covers.
NOTE: THE FAN WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE WITH
THE INNER GRILLE ASSEMBLY REMOVED, HENCE IT
MUST BE ISOLATED COMPLETELY FROM THE MAINS
BEFORE ANY WORK IS CARRIED OUT.
• Never use strong solvents to clean the fan.
• Apart from cleaning, no other maintenance is required.
