Installing the isolating switch and cables
1. Check that the electrical rating shown inside
the back plate matches your mains supply.
2.Check there are no buried pipes or cables
e.g. electricity,gas, water behind the switch
location (in the wall or above the ceiling).
If in doubt, seek professional advise.
3.Isolate the mains supply.
4.Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to
the fan location via the on/off switch
(if required).
5.Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to
the point of connection to the mains supply.
6.Install the isolating switch and on/off switch
(if required).
7.Make all connections within the isolating

Preparing the hole
If working above ground floor level,
appropriate safety precautions must be
observed.
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE
WORN DURING ALL DRILLING AND
CHISELLING OPERATIONS.
If installing in a wall
1.Check there are no buried pipes or cables
in the wall or obstructions on the outside
e.g. electricity, gas, water.
If in doubt, seek professional advise.
2. Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole.
3. Use this centre to mark a circle to suit the
wall duct (115mm diameter).
If core drill equipment is available:
4a.Use as directed by core drill manufacturer.
If core drill equipment is not available:
4b.Drill a centre hole right through the wall.
5. Cut the hole. Do not cut right through the
wall. (The recommended method is to drill a
series of holes, close together, around the
edge of the cutting line and remove the brick
between the holes with a chisel).
6. Go outside and cut a hole in the outer wall,
repeating the process described above.
7. Cut ducting to the correct length if required.
The wall tube supplied is telescopic and can
extend to 300mm maximum.
8. Fit the ducting. Ensure that the duct slopes
down away from the fan to allow drainage of
any incoming rain water to the outside.
9. Make good the hole.Allow the mortar to set
before continuing the fan installation.
If installing in a window or panel
1. Cut a hole, 125mm in diameter or if installing
in a window, obtain a ready cut pane.
2. The centre of the hole should be at least
110mm away from the edge of the panel or
pane of glass.
If installing in a ventilation shaft
1. Check there are no buried pipes or cables
in the ventilation shaft.
If in doubt, seek professional advise.
2. Cut a hole 110mm in diameter, in the side of
the shaft.
