SAFETY GUIDANCE NOTES
A. All wiring must be in accordance with current I.E.E. Regulations, or the appropriate standards of your country. The
equipment should be provided with a local double pole isolator switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm.
B. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating label.
. The fan should only be used in conjunction with the appropriate Vent-Axia products.
D. It is recommended that the connection to the terminal box is made in flexible cable or conduit for easy maintenance.
E. The fan should not be sited within 600mm of/or 2250mm above a bath/shower tray, in accordance with the current
I.E.E Regulations for bathrooms.
F. When the fan is used to remove air from a room containing a fuel-burning appliance, ensure that air replacement is
adequate for both the fan and the fuel-burning appliance.
G. Where a fan is used to supply air into a room, ensure that the fan intake is located a minimum of 600mm from any
flue outlet.
H. This fan is designed as an inline duct fan to be positioned between lengths of ducting. Short duct runs terminating
within 1.5m must incorporate suitable guards unless the fan is mounted higher than 2.3m.
I. This fan should not be used where it is liable to be subject to direct water spray from hoses etc.
J. Where ducted fans are used to handle moisture-laden air, a condensation trap should be fitted. Horizontal ducts
should be arranged to slope slightly downwards away from the fan.
K. ertain applications may require the installation of sound attenuation material to achieve the sound levels required.
An auto transformer speed controller is also recommended.
INSTALLATION
FAN MOUNTING
1. The fan is suitable for mounting at any angle.
2. Securely mount the fan using the appropriate holes in the flanges, drop rods, bolts, anti-vibration mounts etc.
3. Flexible connectors should be used at the fan inlet and outlet.
4. Ensure that there is an adequate clearance for accessing the fan and the removal of the access panel if appropriate.
WIRING
WARNING: - THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
DURING INSTALLATION AND / OR MAINTENANCE. THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
1. Select and follow the appropriate wiring diagram (Figs.1-6)
2. heck that all connections have been made correctly. Ensure that all terminal screws and cable clamps are securely
fastened.
3. The cable entry must be by a suitable grommet or cable gland.
4. Switch the mains supply on and check the system is operating correctly.

ROUTINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
ISOLATE UNIT FROM ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND ENSURE THAT IT CANNOT BE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED BACK ON
1. At intervals appropriate to the installation, the fan should be inspected and cleaned to ensure there is no build up
of dirt or other deposits on the impeller or the motor ( aution - take care not to dislodge any balance weights
which may be fitted to the impeller). If the fan is handling dust laden air, it is recommended that a filter is installed.
2. All Vent-Axia acoustic fan motors are fitted with sealed for life bearings and therefore do not require lubrication.
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
The fan motor is fitted with Standard Thermal Overload Protection. This will automatically switch the fan Off in the
event of a fault condition. If this occurs, isolate the fan, check for any obstruction, leave the fan for a short time for the
motor to cool before reconnecting the power supply. If the fault reoccurs, isolate the power supply and call a service
engineer.
