Where to locate the unit
• Locate in the ceiling above the
shower area or cubicle.
• At least 110mm from the edges of
the mounting surface to the centre
of the hole.
• Not where ambient temperatures are likely to
exceed 50°C.
• 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.
What the installer will need
• 3mm electrician's screwdriver and
No.1 or 2 Pozi-drive screwdriver.
Before you start, you will also need
• A 100mm diameter prepared hole for the unit.
• A 100mm diameter prepared hole for the
external vent. Ideally positioned to allow
condensation to run away from the first bend
in the duct toward the external vent. Refer to
Figure 5.
• A planned route for the duct, please consider
the following:
- The duct is 3m in length.
- The fan will perform best if ducting is kept
as straight and as short as possible. Avoid
sharp corners.
- From the back of unit the duct should
protrude straight out for at least 60mm before
the first bend. This is to ensure that the
backdraft flaps are free to open and close.
- Laying the duct so that after the first bend
the condensation runs out towards the
external vent. Refer to Figure 5.
• Some suitable insulation for the duct, if the
duct passes through a cold or unheated
space. Alternatively you can use an insulated
duct, available to purchase from Xpelair
(Ref: 89847AA).
• A means for disconnection of all poles
(Isolating switch). This must be incorporated
into the fixed wiring in accordance with the
wiring regulations. If metal switch boxes are
used, earthing regulations must be followed.
• A suitable operating switch.
• Two lengths of suitably rated 2 core cable for
wiring from transformer to the unit. See Table 1.
• Suitably rated 3 core cable for wiring from the
mains supply to the transformer, via the isolating
switch and operating switch, as necessary.
