Please leave this leaflet with the appliance for the benefit of the user.
Description
These products are intended for connection to fixed wiring
Extract only or intake only, determined at installation (not reversible).
Can be installed with rigid or flexible ducting.
Designed for suspended or rigid mounting.
Suitable for continuous operation.
Single speed operation unless installed with XIC1 controller (available from Xpelair).
Must be installed by a qualified electrician.
For fixed wiring circuits the protective fuse for the appliance must not exceed 5A.
WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance of the appliance shall not be made by children.
What you will need
Suitable 3-core cable.
A means for disconnection in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring, in accordance with the wiring rules.
An XIC1 speed controller, if required (available from Xpelair).
Ducting long enough to connect from the position of the air intake to the position of the air outlet via the fan.
Ducting accessories, including internal and external grilles and fasteners which are available from Xpelair.
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).
This electrical product, in a shower room or bathroom, must be so situated that it cannot be touched by persons
making use of the bath or shower.
If the fan is intended to intake air, the inlet grille should be sited at least 0.5m away from the discharge outlet of a
flued heating or cooking appliance.
