INSTALLATION
The fan can be installed vertically or horizontally in a round duct (Fig. 2) of appropriate diameter (Fig. 1).
Fan installation sequence:
• Disconnect power supply (Fig. 3).
• Mark and drill holes for fastening the mounting bracket of the fan and then install the fan (Fig. 4-6).
• Remove the terminal compartment cover and the cable clamp from the fan (Fig. 7).
• Connect the fan to power mains, screw the cable clamp into place, adjust the timer time if necessary (Fig. 8-9).
• Install the terminal compartment cover on the fan casing (Fig. 9).
• Connect the air ducts of the corresponding diameter on both sides of the fan (Fig. 10).
• Apply power to the fan (Fig. 11).
Installation, connection, adjustment and maintenance of fans without a bracket is carried out similarly, with the exception of
paragraph 2 when you just need to insert the fan into the round duct.
The fan mounting sequence is shown in Fig. 3-11.
The fan wiring diagrams are shown in Fig. 12.
Terminal designations on the wiring diagrams:
L— line/~12 V S— external switch
N— neutral/~12 V QF— double-pole circuit breaker
LT— timer control line
WARNING! The fans rated for 12 V power voltage (stated on the packing box and on the fan casing) connect to
12 V power mains only!
WARNING! The power cable may only be laid through the hole in the casing provided by the manufacturer (Fig. 13).
Laying the power cable through a manually drilled hole will not be the liability of the manufacturer and will void
the warranty. The wires must be stripped of insulation by a maximum of 8 mm.
After installation, pass this User’s manual to the end user for reading.

ELECTRONICS OPERATION ALGORITHM
The fan with the T timer activates upon control voltage application to the LT input terminal by the Sexternal switch (e.g.
indoor light switch). After the control voltage is off, the fan continues to operate within the time set by the timer ranging
from 2 to 30 minutes.
— To adjust the fan turn-off delay time, turn the control knob To clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to
decrease the turn-off delay time respectively, adjustable from 2 up to 30 minutes.
