2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Genie range of fans has been specifically designed to ventilate
small rooms such as toilets, bathrooms, cloakrooms etc. and can be
surface and recessed mounting. An optional window mounting kit is
available for this unit, code ref: WINKIT.
Air entering the unit passes through a washable filter fitted to the front
cover. Backdraught shutters, retained in the closed position when fan is
not running, are fitted to the base plate.
Motor has sealed, self lubricating bearings and “heatseeker” thermal
overload protection. The fan/ motor assembly is retained by spring clips
to simplify maintenance.
Interchangeable plug in electronic control modules can incorporate:
•Run-On Timer
•Humidistat
•Continuous Low Duty With Boost
As a safety feature the fan/motor assembly is automatically
disconnected when the electronic control module is removed.
When installing Genie units for remote switching it is important
that the pull cord (if fitted) is removed.
It is recommended that the unit is switched off (by the pull cord)
before cutting. Cut the pull cord inside the unit a little way beyond

3.4 Transformer Enclosure (12 V Units Only)
To avoid cable insulation contact with hot transformer, always use
the knockout at PCB end.
The enclosure containing the transformer is intended to be mounted
out of sight (e.g. in a loft, cupboard, under floorboards etc.). However,
if this is not possible the transformer enclosure should be mounted
as close to the ceiling, or as far from the "splash zone" as possible (see
below for definition of the splash zone). As can be seen from the table
of wiring sizes, it is advisable to place the enclosure as close to the fan
as possible to reduce the costs of wiring and assist in installation.
•Remove two screws securing the cover and remove the cover.
•Position the base enclosure on mounting surface and route cables
through knockouts. Mark the fixing points on the mounting surface
and secure using suitable fixings (by others).
•Connect wiring as shown.
•Replace cover. Keep vents clear of obstruction.
No earth is to be connected between transformer and fan.
