DESCRIPTION
NBR High Pressure 100 axial extract fans are suitable for domestic bathrooms
and W.C’s.
The NBR High Pressure 125 and 150 axial extract fans are suitable for domestic
kitchens and utility rooms. They are available as wall or panel mounted models
with shutter, timer, humidity and PIR combinations.
INSTALLATION
Open up the internal cover to access the spirit level bubble and terminals
IMPORTANT : The fan should only be used in conjunction with fixed wiring.
PANEL MOUNTING
- For panel mounting the fan should be installed into a duct protected by an exterior air grille that must comply with the standard requirements of your country to prevent access to the fan’s impeller.
- Cut a 107mm diameter hole for 100mm fans, a 130mm hole for 125mm fans or a 155mm diameter hole for 150mm fans.
- Push the two clips on each side of the fan and pull the grille away from the chassis.
- Using the built in spirit level bubble as an aid, mark the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw into position.
- After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely and the shutters can open.
- Replace the grille and ensure the clips engaged.
WALL MOUNTING
- For wall mounting either cut a 115mm diameter hole for 100mm fans, a 140mm hole for 125mm fans or a 170mm diameter hole for 150mm fans, through the wall and insert the wall sleeve. Slope the sleeve slightly downwards away from the fan. Cut to length and cement both ends into position flush with the wall faces.
- Push the two clips on each side of the fan and pull the grille away from the chassis.
- Using the built in spirit level bubble as an aid, mark the screw centres through the holes in the fan back plate. Drill, plug and screw into position. Fix exterior grille into position with the louvres positioned downwards. (Note:- The grille must comply with the standard requirements of your country to prevent access to the fan’s impeller. The wall kit used in this installation should provide a minimum ducting length of 100mm from the fans back plate to the inside of the external grille).
- After installation, ensure impeller rotates freely and the shutters can open.
- Replace the grille and ensure the clips engaged.
