Mount the fan in the hole

If working above ground floor level, appropriate safety precautions must be observed.

If installing in a wall, ceiling or vent

Mark the position of the back plate B

1.Hold the backplate so that the terminal block faces you in the top left hand corner and the lip points towards the hole.

2.Carefully insert the lip into the wall duct/ceiling or vent shaft.

3.Adjust the position of the back plate until it is level.

4.Mark on the wall/ceiling or vent shaft the positions of the three fixing holes in the back plate.

5.Remove the back plate from the ducting.

6.Drill screw holes in these positions if necessary, and fit wall plugs if necessary.

Mount the back plate C

1.Push the ribbed gasket (RG100) onto the lip of the back plate 1

2.If installing in a ceiling or vent, push the larger diameter piece of the telescopic wall tube onto the ribbed gasket. Cut the tube to the required length first, if necessary.

3.If wiring the fan from behind, remove knockout. Feed the mains cable through the cable entry hole in the back plate to the terminals D.

4.If wiring from above, leave the cable free to be fitted into labyrinth.

5.Insert the lip of the back plate into the wall duct/ceiling or vent shaft as before.

6.Fasten the back plate to the wall/ceiling or vent shaft using appropriate fasteners. If using screws, do not overtighten the screws.

Mount the back draught shutter

1.Peel the backing from the foam strip supplied and attach it around the outside of the lip on the back draught shutter.

2.Go outside. Holding open the top and bottom vanes, insert the lip into the wall duct.

3.Making sure that the back draught shutter is level, mark the positions of the two fixing holes in the top right hand and bottom left hand corners.

4.Remove the back draught from the wall duct.

5.Drill screw holes in these positions, and fit the remaining wall plugs.

6.Holding open the top and bottom vanes, refit the back draught shutter and fasten it to the wall using the pointed and self-tapping screws. Do not over tighten screws.

7.Make sure that the vanes open and shut freely.

If installing in window or panel

Sealing the hole E

1.If installing in a window or panel no more than 9mm thick, fit the white rubber gasket around the edge of the hole. If installing in a panel or sealed double glazing more than 9mm thick, a DXDG double glazing kit is required. Follow the instructions supplied with the special kit.

Attach the back draught shutter to the spacer F

1.Holding the top and bottom vanes, insert the back draught shutter 2 into the spacer 3 so that the fixing holes in the top right and bottom left hand corners match those on the spacer.

2.Insert two of the flat ended self-tapping screws provided and fasten the back draught shutter to the spacer.

Mount the fan in the window G

1.Someone else must hold the back draught shutter and spacer in position outside, with the spacer against the glass.

2.Make sure that the two raised fixing holes in the spacer are horizontal and are positioned within the hole.

3.From inside, hold the back plate so that the terminal block faces you in the top left hand corner and the lip points towards that hole.

4.Align the holes in the back plate with those in the spacer.

5.Insert two of the flat ended self-tapping screws provided in the fixing holes, and fasten the back plate to the spacer. Do not overtighten the screws.

Wire the electrical connections
