If using flexible ducting, you will need ducting of the same outside diameter as the lip of the fan and two metal solid
duct fasteners to attach the ducting to each end of the fan.
If suspending the fan, you will need strong enough support to suit your particular installation. For fan weights see
table. Duct and ancillaries weights must be considered also.
If installing in a position where condensation is likely to run backwards towards the fan, you will need a suitable
condensation trap. The XCT100 is available from Xpelair for 100mm ducting only.
Where to locate it
Position of air intake
As far away as possible from the main source of air replacement to ensure airflow across the room.
Near the source of steam or fumes.
Neither fan nor intake should be positioned where ambient temperatures are likely to exceed 50•C, or above a
cooker hob or eye level grille.
If installing in a room containing a fuel burning device which has a non-balanced flue, it is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure there is enough replacement air to prevent fumes being drawn down the flue when the
fan is operating up to maximum extract. For specific requirements, refer to Building Regulations.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy
other than electric. Requirements of all authorities concerned must be observed for exhaust air discharge.
When intended for use in possible chemical corrosive atmospheres, you must consult out Technical Sales
Department. (For overseas markets, please contact your local Xpelair distributor).

Installing the fan and isolating switch
1. Check that the electrical rating shown on the fan matches themains supply.
2. Isolate the mains supply.
3. Layincablefromthe double pole isolating switch to the fan location (via the speed controller if fitted).
4. Check that there are no buried pipes or cables (e.g. gas, water, electricity) behind the double pole isolating switch
location.
5. Layinthe cable from the double pole isolating switchto the electricalsupply.
6. Make the connections within thedoublepoleisolating switch C.
Warning: Do not make any connections to the electrical supply at this stage. All installations and wiring must
conform to current I.E.E regulations (UK), local or appropriate regulations (other countries).
For Australia only:
These models are permanently connected tothe mainssupply and operation iscontrolled by aremoteswitch. They should
be directlywiredto thesupply through an approved 10A wall mounted surface switchinaccordance with the wiringrules.
Children mustbe supervised to ensure that they do not playwith the appliance.
Installing the ducting
1. Install ducting to connect the fanto the air intakeandto theoutlet. Ifthe ducting is suspended, ensurethat it is
