If installing in a wall (surface mounting) | ) |
1.Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole
.
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
, 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 
.
3.Cut the rectangular hole through the inner wall.
4.Go outside and cut a Ø117mm hole in the outer wall using the small hole as the centre.
5.Measure the wall thickness. Cut the wall tube, not supplied, so that it is 64mm less than the wall thickness
If installing in a ceiling (surface mounting) | ) |
This method requires a space above the ceiling, such as a loft or attic, to provide access for 100mm internal diameter ducting.
1.Mark on the ceiling the centre of the duct hole 
, avoiding ceiling joists and buried cables etc.
2.Cut a Ø117mm hole using the marked centre.
If installing in a ceiling (flush mounting) | ) |
For Ø100mm ducting:
1.Mark a rectangular hole using the dimensions 
.
2.Cut the hole, avoiding ceiling joists and buried cables etc.
For flat ducting:
∙This fan can be installed within a 47mm void without the circular spigot 
(Fig.
). Flat ducting adapter (FDA) available.
Preparing the fan for installation | n |
1.Remove the front cover 
(Fig.
)
2.Fit the foam tape 
around the circular spigot 
(Fig.
).
3.Remove the electrical cover 
(Fig.
). The impeller 
can be removed to aid access (if required). This is a “push-on/pull-off” assembly.
Mounting the fan in a wall or ceiling (surface mounting)
1.Place the ducting into the hole and align to the required position.
If wall mounting, ensure that the ducting slopes down and way from the fan
2.Mark the positions of the three fixing holes 
in fan box 
(Fig.
).
3.If wall mounting, drill three holes 5.5mm diameter for wall plugs. If ceiling mounting 
, use suitable fasteners (not supplied).
4.Cut out the cable inlet hole, if required, in the surround
and slit the cable grommet. Slide the surround 
over the fan box 
5.Pass the electrical cables into the fan box 
through the rear cable inlet hole and re-fit the cable grommet.
Ensure that cable grommet is in place and a tight fit.
6.Offer the fan box 
up to the wall or ceiling. Ensure the circular spigot 
enters the ducting.
7.Fix the fan box 
to the wall using suitable screws or to the ceiling using appropriate fasteners (not supplied).
If mounting in a wall (flush mounting) | ) |
The surround 
is not required.
Fit the ducting to the circular spigot 
.
1.Assemble the three fan body clamps 
to the fan box 
using suitable screws.
2.Slit the cable grommet. Pass the electrical cables into the fan box
through the cable inlet hole and cable grommet.
Ensure cable grommet is in place and a tight fit.
3.Offer the fan box 
up to the wall.
4.Tighten up the three screws, until the fan is clamped to the inner wall. The fan body clamps 
will rotate to an automatic stop position. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
If mounting in a ceiling (flush mounting) | ) |
The surround 
is not required.
1.Insert the fan box 
into the hole and mark four positions using the slots in the flange 
.
2.Remove the fan box 
from ceiling and fit four suitable ceiling clips over the edge of the hole, so that the clips align with the marks on the ceiling 
.
3.Drill 4 pilot holes into the ceiling through the hole of each clip, ensuring not to damage the clip, and fit the clips ensuring correct alignment.
4.Fit the ducting to the circular spigot 
.
5.Offer the fan box 
up to the ceiling.
6.Slit the cable grommet. Pass the electrical cable into the fan box
through the front cable inlet hole.
Ensure cable grommet is in place and a tight fit.
7.Using suitable screws 
(Fig.
), fix the fan box flange to the ceiling clips.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
1.Isolate the electricity supply and remove all fuses. The terminal block will accept cable up to 2.5mm²
2.Use a double-pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in both poles.
3.Use suitably rated 3-core or 4-core cable dependant on application.
4.Remove the retaining screws of the terminal cover 
, if still in position.
5.Wire the fan as shown in 
using the cable clamp provided. Check fan model to diagram.
6.Replace the terminal cover 
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 
(Fig.
).
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.
Before making any adjustments, isolate the fan completely from the mains supply, check specification below to see which features apply to your fan.
1. Remove the front cover and replace after adjustment (Fig.
)

∙There are no user adjustments for this fan.
∙The humidity setting is adjustable between approximately 50% and 90% relative humidity. Use an electrician’s screwdriver, and turn screw “RH” (Fig.
), 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%).
Using the fan | . |

Premier DX180 | . |
Operate the fan using the external on/off switch. Repeat to switch off.
Operate the fan using the external on/off switch. Repeat to switch off. When the switch is turned off, the fan continues to operate for the over-run timer period. (Fixed at approximately 20 minutes).
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.
1.Before cleaning, isolate the fan completely from the mains supply
2.Only clean the external surface of the fan, using a damp lint free cloth.
3.Do not use strong detergents, solvents or chemical cleaners
4.Allow fan to dry thoroughly before use.
5.Apart from cleaning, no other maintenance is required
