1. GENERAL
This carton contains a fan/light unit a fan transformer controller and a lighting transformer (LuminAir H models also come complete with a SELV
Ambient Response humidistat). Unpack these items taking care to note the product model reference on the outside of the carton eg. LuminAir T.
The installation details apply to all fan/light units and controllers, but the wiring and functions vary.
2. SAFETY
ONLY CONNECT TOGETHER THE PRODUCTS SUPPLIED FROM LUMINAIR RANGE AS THESE ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT 12V AC AND ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER VENT-AXIA CONTROLLERS. DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN ONE
FAN UNIT TO THE CONTROLLER & DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN ONE LIGHT TO THE LIGHTING TRANSFORMER.
WARNING: Ensure that the mains supply is disconnected before making any electrical connections. All electrical connections should
be made by a properly qualified electrician. The siting and installation MUST comply with current IEE Regulations, BS7671 (U.K.) or
the appropriate standards in your country.
All regulations and requirements MUST be strictly followed to prevent hazard to life and property, both during and after installation,
and while carrying out any subsequent servicing and maintenance.
3. SITING THE LUMINAIR
3.1 The electrical supply to the LuminAir fan/light is 12V AC SELV from the mains transformer controller and lighting transformer. This allows
the LuminAir fan/light to be installed within reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower ie. in the ceiling above. However, direct water spray
on the LuminAir should be avoided as this could reduce the life of the unit.
3.2 Site away from direct sources of heat. Do not site in areas containing excessive levels of grease. If the LuminAir is installed in a room
containing a fuel burning appliance the installer must ensure that air replacement is adequate for both the fan and the fuel burning appliance.
3.3 Ducting
The LuminAir must be ducted to the outside to extract moisture laden air which could cause damage to property. LuminAir can be used with
either rigid, flat duct or short runs of flexible ducting (less than 2m).
A condensation trap will be required in the exhaust duct where excessive levels of moisture are found in the air.
HORIZONTAL DUCTS SHOULD SLOPE AWAY FROM THE LUMINAIR AND DUCTS PASSING THROUGH AN UNHEATED ROOF VOID
SHOULD BE INSULATED.
4. SITING THE TRANSFORMER CONTROLLER & LIGHTING TRANSFORMER
4.1 THE TRANSFORMER CONTROLLERS MUST NOT BE SITED IN A SHOWER CUBICLE OR WITHIN REACH OF A PERSON USING A
FIXED BATH OR SHOWER. (ARMS REACH = 1.25m).
4.2 Site away from direct sources of heat. The controllers require free air circulation and must not be covered with any insulating
material such as might be in a ceiling or roof void. The Ambient temperature range of both the LuminAir fan/light and transformer
controller is 0 to 40OC.
4.3 Decide where to mount the LuminAir and its controllers and work out the cable runs.
4.4 LuminAir H models
In addition to the above please refer to the fitting and wiring instructions supplied with the SELV12 Ecotronic humidity sensor for appropriate
siting details.
5. FITTING THE LUMINAIR FAN/LIGHT
5.1 Mark and cut a 110mm hole in the ceiling surface where the LuminAir is to be fitted. (Mounting holes 130mmø centres)
5.2 Drill and plug the fixing holes if these are to be used (See 5.4 below).
5.3 Pull the LuminAir Bezel from the main assembly by gripping it firmly around its centre. Do not prise the Bezel from the unit as this may
damage its clip fastenings.
5.4 Loosen the two screws on the Lamp Housing until the Securing Clamps allow sufficient clearance to accomodate the ceiling thickness.
Then reposition the Securing Clamps against the Lamp Housing and fit the LuminAir through the hole in the ceiling before retightening the
screws to clamp the LuminAir into place.
5.5 If required line up the two permanent fixing holes in the Lamp Housing with the pre-drilled and plugged holes in the ceiling and fit the screws
supplied.
N.B. Either one of the above methods of mounting the LuminAir fan/light is sufficient. Choose which ever is most appropriate to the installation.
5.6 Remove the Lamp from its packaging and push it firmly into the Lamp Holder ensuring that the two pins on the Lamp locate in the Lamp
Holder
receptacles.
5.7 Refit the Bezel to the Lamp Housing.
6. FITTING THE TRANSFORMER CONTROLLERS.
LuminAir L,T and H.
NOTE: The controller is supplied with a surface mounting box and this should not be recessed.
6.1 Break out the desired cable entry opening(s) in the mounting box. Cable entry glands or grommets should be used to ensure that the
enclosure retains its integrity against dust and moisture penetration.
6.2 The mounting box should be fixed to the mounting surface using screws (and possibly masonry plugs) compatible with the surface.
FITTING THE LIGHTING TRANSFORMER.
6.3 The lighting transformer should be fixed to the mounting surface using screws (and possibly masonry plugs) compatible with the surface.
7. WIRING THE LUMINAIR AND TRANSFORMER CONTROLLERS
WARNING: This appliance MUST NOT be earthed. The controllers MUST be connected to a 220-240V 50Hz AC single phase mains
supply. They provide a 12V 50Hz AC Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output for only one Vent-Axia LuminAir fan/light unit.
7.1 Ensure that the mains supply is switched OFF before starting any wiring.
7.2 Connection of the controller to the mains supply and the SELV wiring between the controller and the LuminAir should be in accordance with
current IEE Regulations, BS7671 (UK) or the appropriate standards in your country.
7.3 The mains supply should be via a switched spur with a 3A fuse (UK). The installation MUST be provided with a double pole isolator switch
with a contact separation of at least 3mm. The switch should be located outside the room if it contains a fixed bath or shower, or in accordance
with mandatory wiring and safety regulations.
7.4 The SELV wiring MUST be with mains voltage rated non-metallic sheathed cable. The SELV wiring should be physically separated and
insulated from any mains supply or other cabling. Cut the outer sheathing back as little as possible so that the insulating sheath almost reaches
the terminal block. 1.5mm2cable is recommended for cable runs up to 8m. Cable runs over 8m are not recommended.
7.5 Make the appropriate electrical connections as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3. When using surface wiring, that is not contained in conduit, the
cables must be securely clipped to the mounting surface close to the controller.
7.6 The LuminAir fan/light is supplied with flying
