What you will need need .
• To fix these fans through a wall you will need “Wall Vent Kit VK10”.
• To fix these fans through a glass window or panel you will need
“Glass Mounting Kit GMK”
• To fix these fans through a ceiling you will need
"Ceiling Mounting Kit XCMK”.
• A double pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm.
• Suitably rated 3-core or 4-core cable.
• A ceiling or wall on/off switch with built in indicator (DX180T/DX180H)
If installing in a wall (surface mounting) )
1. Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole A.
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 A, 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 A.
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 A, 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 B.
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 6 (Fig.E). Flat ducting adapter (FDA) available.
Preparing the fan for installation n
1. Remove the front cover 1 (Fig.C)
2. Fit the foam tape 9 around the circular spigot 6 (Fig.E).
3. Remove the electrical cover 4 (Fig.E). The impeller 2 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 A in fan box 5 (Fig.E).
3. If wall mounting, drill three holes 5.5mm diameter for wall plugs.
If ceiling mounting B , use suitable fasteners (not supplied).
4. Cut out the cable inlet hole, if required, in the surround 10 and slit
the cable grommet. Slide the surround 10 over the fan box 5 .
5. Pass the electrical cables into the fan box 5 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 5 up to the wall or ceiling. Ensure the circular
spigot 6 enters the ducting.
7. Fix the fan box 5 to the wall using suitable screws or to the ceiling
using appropriate fasteners (not supplied).
8. If mounting in a wall (flush mounting) )
The surround 10 is not required.
Fit the ducting to the circular spigot 6.
1. Assemble the three fan body clamps 8 to the fan box 5 using
suitable screws.
2. Slit the cable grommet. Pass the electrical cables into the fan box 5
through the cable inlet hole and cable grommet.
Ensure cable grommet is in place and a tight fit.
3. Offer the fan box 5 up to the wall.
4. Tighten up the three screws, until the fan is clamped to the inner
wall. The fan body clamps 8 will rotate to an automatic stop
position. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
If mounting in a ceiling (flush mounting) )
The surround 10 is not required.
1. Insert the fan box 5 into the hole and mark four positions using the
slots in the flange B.
2. Remove the fan box 5 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 B.
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 6.
5. Offer the fan box 5 up to the ceiling.
6. Slit the cable grommet. Pass the electrical cable into the fan box 5
through the front cable inlet hole.
Ensure cable grommet is in place and a tight fit.
7. Using suitable screws 11 (Fig.B), fix the fan box flange to the ceiling
clips.
Terminating the ducting g
Fit an outer grille to the outer wall.
For ceiling mounting, use appropriate ancillaries.
Wire the electrical connections s
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 4, if still in
position.
5. Wire the fan as shown in F using the cable clamp provided. Check
fan model to diagram.
6. Replace the terminal cover 4 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 1 (Fig.C).

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.
Cleaning g
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.
