3.2 Surface Mounting
Remove the fan from the box, taking care to dispose of the packing
material properly. Check the location of existing wiring for ease of
connection. For optimum performance site the fan a minimum of 2.3m
above ground level.
In the wall or ceiling, cut a hole as follows:
•SLIMAIRE / NA 100X fans - 100mm Ø (taking care to allow any
necessary space for ducting).
•SLIMAIRE / NA 150X fans - 150mm Ø - for through wall
installation.
•SLIMAIRE / NA 150X fans - 156mm Ø - for installation using a wall
liner or telescopic ducting.
For any other wall or ceiling installation check sizes before cutting the
hole. It is the installer's responsibility to use the appropriate core
cutter to obtain the correct hole diameter.
Dismantle the fan:
•Remove the front cover (3) by unscrewing front fixing screw (1).
•Using the motor fan assembly (4) of the fan as a template, mark
the hole drilling positions to fix the fan to the wall or ceiling N.B
use the holes already knocked out in the top right and bottom left
corners of the back of the motor fan assembly.
•Drill the 6mm dia holes.
•Using the wall plugs and long screws provided, fix the motor fan
assembly (4) to the wall/ceiling.
Before fixing the fan to the wall, decide whether to have the cable
entering the fan through the knocked-out hole on the top of the
motor fan assembly (4) or whether through the back of the motor fan
assembly (4). In the first case the included cable clamp will need to be
used. In the second option the cable entry hole will need to be knocked
out.
Connect to electricity supply via a double pole switch of a suitable size,
with contact openings of at least 3mm.
Fix back the front cover (3) of the fan.
For window installation (with optional window kit) see instructions on
page 2.

NA / SLIMAIRE 150X 280 320 26 49
It is recommended that the installation be carried out by a qualified
electrician. All electrical connections must comply with current IEE
wiring regulations. The fan is a fixed appliance, and the electrical supply
must therefore be by a fixed wired and fused (3 amp) spur incorporating
a double or triple pole switch with contact openings of at least 3mm.
Use twin conductor cable of at least 1mm3 in section (Figure 9).
The fan is double insulated and does not require earthing. The fan
complies with current electrical safety regulations (IE64, CENELEC
384), including EEC Directive EMC2004/108/CE concerning the
suppression of radio interference and electromagnetic compatibility,
and LVD2006/95/CE.
The fan must not be used as a switch for water heaters, stoves etc.
The printed circuit board in these fans has been protected to make it
compatible with the majority of fluorescent fittings available on the
market today. However, it is impossible to be aware of all new products
introduced. We suggest, therefore, that you contact your supplier to
establish the compatibility of any fluorescent fittings you intend to use.
