4. Installing the switches and cables
1. Check there are no buried pipes or cables e.g.
electricity, gas, water behind the switch location (In
the panel or above the ceiling).
2. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the fan
location via the on/off switch if required.
3. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the point
of connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: DO NOT MAKE ANY CONNECTIONS TO
THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS STAGE.
4. Install the isolating switch and the on/off switch if
required.
5. Make all connections within the isolating switch and
the on/off switch if required.
Note: Switches must be situated so that they cannot
be touched by persons making use of the bath or
shower.
For Australia only
These models are permanently connected to the supply
and operation is controlled by a remote switch. They
should be directly wired to the supply through an
approved 10A wall mounted surface switch with at least
3mm clearance between contacts.
5. Preparing the hole
If working above ground floor level, appropriate
safety precautions must be observed.
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN
DURING ALL DRILLING OPERATIONS.
For Installing in a wall
1. Check there are no buried pipes or cables in the
wall or obstructions on the outside e.g. electricity,
gas, water.
2. Make sure that the centre of the hole is located at least
200mm from the edge of the wall.
3. Mark the outline of the hole on the wall (for hole
dimensions see Fig A).
4. Drill pilot holes around edge of the cutting line.
5. Cut through the plaster using a hammer and chisel.
6. Cut through the inner wall using a cold chisel or brick
bolster. Do not cut right through.
7. Go outside and cut a hole in the outer wall ensuring
alignment
6. Separating the inner grille and fan from mounting
box
1. Remove the inner grille assembly by removing the two
screws Fig. F (10) securing the inner grille assembly to
the fan mounting box.
2. Remove the two screws securing the fan assembly to
the fan mounting box.
7. Mounting the fan mounting box
If working above ground floor level, appropriate
safety precautions must be observed.
1. Insert the two colour matching Screw Covers (packed
separately) in the fixing holes of the Outer Grille, the
fixing holes are not used on the outer grille.
2. Secure the two ladder strips to the Outer Grille by
positioning them over the hook mouldings (packed
separately) and snapping these into position (Fig. B).
3. Hold the Outer Grille up to the outside of the wall
ensuring the ladder strips protrude through to the interior.
4. Offer up the fan mounting box to the inner wall face
and locate ladder strips into their location fixings (Fig. D).
5. Pull the ladder strips through, locate the wall box in the
wall and screw worm screws into position. Do not
overtighten the screws. Cut away any excess ladder
strip remaining. If necessary, apply a sealing mastic (not
supplied) to the flanges of the Fan Mounting Box and
Outer Grille. This will provide additional seals and take
out any unevenness on both wall faces.
6. Assemble wall tube by slotting the four sections
together (Fig. E)
7. Push the wall tube through the hole in the fan
mounting box and locate on the Outer Grille.
8. The cavity wall tube must be cut flush with the inner
face of the fan mounting box. Mark off and cut away any
excess wall tube and re-install. When installed, the wall
box must slope slightly downwards towards the outer
grille.
9. Position and secure the fan duct assembly into the fan
mounting box, using the fixing screws. Do not
overtighten the screws.
8. Wire the electrical connections
1. Wire the switch cable into the fan's terminal connector
as shown in Fig. C.
a. If the Fan is wired from above, remove the fan's
Terminal cover and feed the cable through the top cable
entry. Ensure the outer sheath of the cable is retained in
the labyrinth Fig. C.
b. If wiring from the rear, remove the fan's terminal
cover and rear entry knockout, feed the cable through the
knockout.
2. Refit and secure the terminal cover.
3. Refit the inner grille to the fan mounting box, using
fixing screws Fig. F (10). Do not overtighten screws.
4. Insert two colour matching screw covers in the fixing
holes in the inner grille. When removing the covers, place
a 3mm blade electrician's screwdriver into the slot and
lever off the cover.
5. Switch off the mains electrical supply and remove
fuses.
6. Connect the cable from isolation switch to the
electrical supply wiring.
7. Replace the fuses, and switch on the mains electrical
supply.
For fixed wiring circuits the protective fuse for the
appliance must not exceed 5A.
9. Operating the fan
This fan is single speed and non-reversible (extract only).
Switch operated:
• To switch on and off, use the switch on the wall or
ceiling.
• The shutters have a time delay of up to 1 minute on
opening, and up to 3 minutes on closing. Activated by
