XS Wall Fan Kits
Supply/Extract Units
Installation and Maintenance
Introduction
The Nuaire XS Wall Fan Kit is available in 6, 9 and 12 inch
impeller sizes suitable for supply or extract and can be the
heart of a room’s automatic ventilation system.
Ensure adequate air replacement for the fan and any fuel
burning appliance in the room.
Switching
Operated via a separately wired 3 amp fused spur (by others)
or operated via the optional XS-MFC remote controller allowing
supply or extract, variable speed and automatic or manual
switching of several fans if desired.
Sensors
Sensors are available as remote units or integral ‘plug in’ units.
They are able to control multiple fans, depending on sensor and
fan types. Integral sensors are quick and easy to install and
are aesthetically pleasing, whilst remote sensors give the
benefit of location close to the pollutant source.
Remote sensors can be fitted with an optional security strap to
prevent unwanted tampering.
General
The removable interior grille provides easy access while the
external rotor motor makes for simple removal of the push-on
impeller for cleaning. Upward angled interior grille vanes shield
workings from view and downward sloping external vanes
throw off rain. The fan is IP24 splash proof approved with the
motor rated at IP44.
All external components are made in soft grey colours from
ultra violet stable ABS material so they will blend with most
decors and will not fade in sunlight.
