180mm Low-Voltage DC Through-Wall/Ceiling Fan for
Bathroom Extraction
Thank you for your purchase of our company’s product. It has been manufactured following
current technical safety regulations and is in compliance with AS/NZ60335 standard.
Please read this instruction booklet carefully before installing or starting up the
product.
It contains important information on personal and user safety measures to be followed while
installing, using, and carrying out maintenance work on the equipment. Once the product
has been installed, please hand this booklet to the end user.
Before installing the fan, it is important to understand the way this fan functions.
The fan is designed to be continuously powered.
When first powered on, the fan will run at trickle speed for 30 seconds to initialise the
sensors, and then increase to about 50% speed. It will run at this speed for 2 minutes to
purge the bathroom and learn the environment.
Over the next 10 minutes the fan will gradually slow down until it reaches trickle speed
again. The fan will now be monitoring the bathroom for a change in the environment (e.g.
steam is generated). On detecting such a change, the fan will respond and increase the
speed accordingly. Once the environment has been restored, the fan will once again slow
down to trickle speed.
This fan model does not include an external boost switch option. Please refer to
page 4 for more information.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Before commencing installation, select a suitable place for the fan to be installed in the
external wall. Locate and avoid wall studs when determining fan placement. This fan is
powered by a low-voltage DC power supply and as such is suitable to be placed in wet areas
inside the bathroom (see image 2).
Using the provided cutting template, drill a 185mm hole through the internal wall for the
fan, either using a circular hole saw or other suitable means. Cut a 152mm round hole
through the external wall for the cowl, ensuring the two holes are as aligned as possible.
Making sure that power is turned off, wire the fan power lead as per the wiring diagram (see
image 1), then mount the fan and grille on the internal wall. Take care to ensure the power
cable is not cinched or damaged as the fan case is placed into the wall. Place a short length
of ducting over the fan’s 150mm spigot from outside and tape into place.
Place the other end of the ducting over the cowl and tape into place. Position the cowl inside
the 150mm hole. Mount the cowl onto the wall with the screws provided. Check that both
the fan case and cowl are level and flush with the wall, and that the fan can spin freely
before turning on power to the fan.
Once the fan is mounted, replace the face plate and screw in place, making sure the grille is
positioned correctly and no wires are cinched beneath the grille or face plate.
Note: wiring mains power should only be carried out by a registered electrician.
Once the fan is in installed, place a short length of 150mm aluminium ducting over the fan
spigot from outside, then install a cowl or louvre grille on the other side as required.
Please note:
Excessive ducting and sharp bends lower the fan’s performance. If installing as a
through-ceiling fan ensure the ducting is long enough, with gradual bends, before cutting it.
Important information for the safety of installers and user:
Installation must only be carried out by qualified persons. Make sure that the installation
complies with the applicable building and electrical regulations.

been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appli-
ance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
This apparatus must not be used in explosive or corrosive atmospheres. If a fan is going to
be installed to extract air from premises where a boiler or other combustion apparatus are
installed, make sure that the building has sufficient air intakes to assure adequate
combustion. The extractor outlet must not be connected to a duct used to exhaust smoke or
fumes from any appliance that uses gas or any other type of fuel.
TRANSPORT AND MANIPULATION
The packaging used for this apparatus has been designed to support normal transporting
conditions. The apparatus must always be transported in its original packaging as not doing
so could deform or damage the product. Do not place heavy weights on the packed product
and avoid knocking or dropping it.
The product should be stored in a dry place in its original packaging, protected from dust
and dirt until it is installed in its final location. Do not accept delivery if the apparatus is not
in its original packaging or shows clear signs of having been manipulated in any way.

sucked up by it. If it is going to be installed in a duct, check that it is clear of any element
that could be sucked up by the fan. When installing an apparatus, make sure that all the
fittings are in place and that the structure which supports it is resistant enough to bear its
weight at full functioning power.
Before installing the fan, make sure the mains supply is disconnected, even if the fan is
switched off.
If the fan is installed in a duct, the duct must be used for the extraction system only.
STARTING UP THE FAN
Fans may have delayed startup, or may operate under the control of the inbuilt controlling
electronics included with the fan. Always take extreme care as the fan may start
unexpectedly. Always disconnect the fan from power during maintenance.
Before starting up the fan, ensure that:
•
•
•
•
When starting up the fan, ensure that:
•
•
If the circuit protection device is tripping during operation, the apparatus must be quickly
disconnected from the mains supply. The whole installation should be carefully checked
before trying to start up the machine again.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Before servicing the fan, make sure it is disconnected from the mains supply - even if it has
previously been switched off. Avoid the risk of anyone else plugging it in while you’re
working on it.
The fan must be regularly inspected. These inspections should consider the fan’s working
conditions, ensuring no dirt or dust builds up on the propeller, turbine, motor or grilles. This
could be dangerous and perceptibly shorten the fan’s lifespan. While cleaning, take extra
care not to damage the propeller.
All maintenance work should be carried out in strict compliance with New Zealand safety
regulations.
All our products contain repairable or replaceable parts. Repair or replacement of these parts
should only be handled by the manufacturer. In the case of damage or malfunction of the
fan, please contact the manufacturer or installer to arrange for repair. Please note that a
small fee may apply for repair services not covered under warranty.

Installation Manual
180mm Low-Voltage DC Through-Wall/Ceiling Fan for
Bathroom Extraction
Thank you for your purchase of our company’s product. It has been manufactured following
current technical safety regulations and is in compliance with AS/NZ60335 standard.
Please read this instruction booklet carefully before installing or starting up the
product.
It contains important information on personal and user safety measures to be followed while
installing, using, and carrying out maintenance work on the equipment. Once the product
has been installed, please hand this booklet to the end user.
Before installing the fan, it is important to understand the way this fan functions.
The fan is designed to be continuously powered.
When first powered on, the fan will run at trickle speed for 30 seconds to initialise the
sensors, and then increase to about 50% speed. It will run at this speed for 2 minutes to
purge the bathroom and learn the environment.
Over the next 10 minutes the fan will gradually slow down until it reaches trickle speed
again. The fan will now be monitoring the bathroom for a change in the environment (e.g.
steam is generated). On detecting such a change, the fan will respond and increase the
speed accordingly. Once the environment has been restored, the fan will once again slow
down to trickle speed.
This fan model does not include an external boost switch option. Please refer to
page 4 for more information.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Before commencing installation, select a suitable place for the fan to be installed in the
external wall. Locate and avoid wall studs when determining fan placement. This fan is
powered by a low-voltage DC power supply and as such is suitable to be placed in wet areas
inside the bathroom (see image 2).
Using the provided cutting template, drill a 185mm hole through the internal wall for the
fan, either using a circular hole saw or other suitable means. Cut a 152mm round hole
through the external wall for the cowl, ensuring the two holes are as aligned as possible.
Making sure that power is turned off, wire the fan power lead as per the wiring diagram (see
image 1), then mount the fan and grille on the internal wall. Take care to ensure the power
cable is not cinched or damaged as the fan case is placed into the wall. Place a short length
of ducting over the fan’s 150mm spigot from outside and tape into place.
Place the other end of the ducting over the cowl and tape into place. Position the cowl inside
the 150mm hole. Mount the cowl onto the wall with the screws provided. Check that both
the fan case and cowl are level and flush with the wall, and that the fan can spin freely
before turning on power to the fan.
Once the fan is mounted, replace the face plate and screw in place, making sure the grille is
positioned correctly and no wires are cinched beneath the grille or face plate.
Note: wiring mains power should only be carried out by a registered electrician.
Once the fan is in installed, place a short length of 150mm aluminium ducting over the fan
spigot from outside, then install a cowl or louvre grille on the other side as required.
Please note:
Excessive ducting and sharp bends lower the fan’s performance. If installing as a
through-ceiling fan ensure the ducting is long enough, with gradual bends, before cutting it.
