1.50 2.50

Recommended max. 7.50 10.00 15.00 25.00 cable run-metres.

Suitably rated 2 core cable (supply to transformer) LV100, LV100PC, LV100H, LV100HP, LV100PIR.

Suitably rated 3 core cable (supply to transformer LV100T only.

3mm Electricians Screwdriver and No.1 or 2 Pozidriv screwdrivers.

To prevent a possible hazardous situation from water ingress, a condensation trap (Xpelair No. XCT100) must be fitted as close as possible to the fan in all situations where any section of the ductwork is positioned higher than the fan itself.

If wall mounting the fan, you will also need

Masonry drill, Hammer & Chisel (or Core Drill equipment if available).

Mortar to make good the hole if required.

If window mounting the fan

You will need a window pane between 3mm and 6mm thick (preferably 4mm).

Do not install in glass 3mm thick if the window pane area is more than 0.2 sq.m.

If installing in sealed double glazing, a specially manufactured unit should be obtained from the glazing manufacturer. You will also require a special kit, Xpelair Cat. ref. DXDG.

If installing in sash windows, you should mount the fan in the upper window. Secure the upper sash in the closed position and fit stops just below the level of the fan, to prevent damaging it when the sash is raised.

If installing in a panel which is between 9mm and 46mm thick, you will need a special kit, Xpelair Cat. ref. DXDG. Do not install these fans in panel which is more than 46mm thick.

LV100HP, LV100PC, LV100T, LV100, LV100PIR specifications

The Xpelair LV100 series of extractor fans comprises five main models: LV100H, LV100, LV100PC, LV100HP, and LV100T. Each of these units is designed to address humidity and air quality concerns in residential and light commercial spaces, providing effective ventilation solutions.

The LV100H is equipped with an integrated humidistat that intelligently monitors humidity levels and activates the fan as needed. This ensures optimal air quality in bathrooms and kitchens by preventing the build-up of mold and mildew. The unit operates quietly, making it an ideal choice for spaces requiring minimal noise disruption.

In contrast, the LV100 is designed for general ventilation needs and offers a simple yet robust design. It features a timer function that allows users to set the fan to run for a specific duration after being triggered by a switch. This model is perfect for rooms where continuous ventilation is not necessary, providing flexibility and energy efficiency.

The LV100PC model stands out with its positive pressure capabilities, ensuring that clean air is circulated into spaces. This is particularly effective in rooms prone to dust and allergens, such as home offices. The unit maintains a controlled environment while enhancing overall indoor air quality.

For those requiring higher extraction rates, the LV100HP offers powerful performance, making it suitable for larger areas or spaces with significant moisture production. The high-performance motor provides reliable operation, essential for commercial environments where compliance with ventilation standards is crucial.

Finally, the LV100T introduces a timer switch that allows for programmable ventilation, ensuring the fan runs for a predetermined time after being activated. This versatility makes it an excellent addition for areas that require custom ventilation control, such as utility rooms or wash areas.

All models in the Xpelair LV100 series share common characteristics, such as energy-efficient motors and easy installation. The units are designed to blend seamlessly with various interior designs, and their low noise levels enhance user comfort. With robust build quality, these fans are built to last, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

In summary, the Xpelair LV100 series offers tailored solutions for varying ventilation needs, combining functionality with ease of use. Each model serves a specific purpose, allowing homeowners and businesses to choose the best option for maintaining effective air quality and comfort in their environments.
