• At least 110mm from the edges of the mounting surface to the centre of the hole.
• As far away as possible from and opposite to the main source of air replacement to ensure airflow across the room (e.g. opposite the internal doorway).
• Near the source of steam or odours.
• Not where ambient temperatures are likely to exceed 50°C.
• If installed in a kitchen fans must not be mounted immediately above a cooker hob, or eye level grill.
• If installing in a room containing a fuel burning device which has a non-balanced flue, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that there is enough replacement air to prevent fumes being drawn down the flue when the fan is operating up to maximum extract. Refer to Building Regulations for specific requirements.

Installing the isolating switch and cables.
A means for disconnection in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with wiring regulations

• If metal switch boxes are used, earthing regulations must be followed.
• The cross-sectional area of the supply cord used should be ranged from 1-1.5mm².
• DX100BR / DX100BS / DX100BPR / DX100BPS – 2 core, DX100BTR / DX100BTS / DX100BHTR /DX100BHTR – 3 core. * If wiring to remote switch.
• C4TS / C4TR / C4HTS / C4HTR. A wall or ceiling On/Off switch (with indicator light) is recommended

1. Check that the electrical rating shown inside the back-plate matches your mains supply.

2. Check there are no buried pipes or cables e.g. electricity, gas, water behind the switch location (in the wall or above the ceiling). If in doubt, seek professional advice.

3. Isolate the mains supply.

4. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the fan location via the on/off switch (if required).

5. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the point of connection to the mains supply.
   Warning: Do not make any connections to the electrical supply at this stage.

6. Install the isolating switch and on/off switch (if required).

7. Make all connections within the isolating switch and the on/off switch (if required).

Wet Rooms: On/Off switch must be situated so that it cannot be touched by persons making use of the bath or shower.

• For Australia Only – DX100BR / DX100BS / DX100BPR / DX100BPS
  Connection to the supply can be made by a flexible 2-core cable complete with 3 pin plug for insertion into an approved 10A GPO or directly wired through an approved 10A wall mounted surface switch with at least 3mm clearance between contacts.

• For Australia Only –DX100BTR / DX100BTS / DX100BHTR / DX100BHTS
  These models are permanently connected to the supply and operation is controlled by a remote switch. They should be directly wired to the supply through an approved 10A wall mounted surface switch with at least 3mm clearance between contacts.

Preparing the Fan for installation.

1. Remove the front cover by depressing the latch on the underside of the cover and pulling off the front cover from the bottom (See Figure C).

2. If working above ground floor level, safety precautions must be observed.

4. Alternately the fan back-plate can be fixed directly to the wall using the screws and wall plugs supplied as described below.
   Mark the position of the back-plate

5. Hold the back-plate so that the level line marked on it is orientated horizontally.

6. Carefully insert the fan tube into the wall duct.

7. Mark on the wall the positions of the fixing holes in the back-plate.

8. Remove the back plate from the ducting.

9. Drill screw holes in these positions if necessary, and fit wall plugs and screws as required. If installing in a ceiling, appropriate termination ancillaries are required. Follow instructions provided.
   Mount the back-plate.

10. Feed the mains cable through the cable entry hole in the back plate to the terminals.

11. Insert the fan tube of the back-plate into the wall duct/ceiling as before.

12. Fasten the back-plate to the wall/ceiling using appropriate fasteners. See figure A.

13. If using screws, do not over tighten. Wire the electrical connections.

14. Make sure the mains supply is isolated. Switch off the mains electrical supply and remove fuses.

15. Feed the cable to the terminal block. Wire the fan as shown in Figure F using the diagram appropriate to the fan model.

16. Connect the cable from the isolating switch to the electrical supply wiring.

Fan Settings

• SPEED SETTING
  The fans are factory set to low speed, but have two speed settings for different applications. Select either high or low speed by connecting the jumper between the centre and high or low speed pin on the jumper (see Figure E)

• DX100BTR / DX100BTS Only.
  To adjust the over-run period turn the control (T) clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease – see Figure D.

DX100BHTR / DX100BHTS – see figures D and E.

• The pre-set humidity operation is factory set at approximately 75% Relative Humidity (RH), but can be adjusted between 65% and 85% RH by control H.
• The over-run timer is factory set at 15 minutes but can be adjusted from 30 seconds to 30 minutes by control T.
• Turn the controls clockwise to increase RH or time and anti-clockwise to decrease.

Using the fan. DX100BR / DX100BS Only
Operate the fan using the on/off switch (not supplied). Repeat to switch off.

DX100BTR / DX100BTS Only
Operate the fan using an on/off switch (not supplied). Note – the fan may take up to 10 seconds to turn on once the switch has been operated. When the switch is turned off, the fan continues to operate for the set time delay. To adjust the over-run period, turn the control “T” clockwise to increase and anti- clockwise to decrease – see Figure D.

DX100BHTR / DX100BHTS Only.

• Automatic mode – The fan automatically adjusts to slow changes in natural humidity levels without operating the fan. If the humidity levels increase at a rate slower than 5% RH in 5 minutes, up to the pre-set humidity level, the fan will not be triggered by humidity. This is to prevent nuisance triggering of the fan. If humidity levels increase quicker than 5% RH in 5 minutes the fan will operate. When relative humidity drops the fan continues to operate for the adjustable time delay.
• External operation – Use the external on/off switch. When the fan is switched off, the fan continues to operate for the adjustable time delay then goes into automatic mode.

DX100BPR / DX100BPS Only
Operate the fan by pulling and releasing the cord. Repeat to switch off.
