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 joint of connection to the Maine cannily
   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 – DX100R / DX100S / DX100PR / DX100PS / DX100PIRR / DX100PIRS 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.

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).
   If working above ground floor level, safety precautions must be observed. Mark the position of the back-plate

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

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

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

5. Remove the back plate from the ducting.

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

7. Push the ribbed gasket onto the duct section of the back plate (see Figure D).

8. Push the larger diameter piece of the telescopic wall tube onto the ribbed gasket. Cut the tube to the required size first if necessary.

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

10. Insert the fan tube into the wall duct/ceiling as before.

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

12. If using screws, do not over tighten.
    Mount the back draft shutter

13. Peel the backing from the foam strip supplied and attach it around the outside lip on the backdraft shutter.

14. Go outside. Holding open the top and bottom vanes insert the lip into the wall duct.

15. Making sure that the back draft shutter is level, mark the positions of the two fixing holes in the top right hand and bottom left hand corners.

16. Remove the back draft shutters from the  wall duct.

17. Drill screw holes in marked positions and fit the remaining wall plugs.

18. Holding open the top and bottom vanes, refit the back draft shutter and fasten it to the wall using the screws. Do not overtighten screws.

19. Make sure that the vanes open and shut fully. Wire the electrical connections.

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

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

22. 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 G). DX100TR / DX100TS / DX100PIRR / DX100PIRS only.

To adjust the over-run period turn the control 1) clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease — see Failure

• DX100TR / DX100TS / DX100PIRR / DX100PIRS only.
• To adjust the over-run period turn the control (1) clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease – see Figure F.
• DX100HTR / DX100HTS / DX100HPTR / DX100HPTS only – see figures F and G.
• 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 fa n

DX100R / DX100S Only

• Operate the fan using the on/off switch (not supplied). Repeat to switch off. DX100TR / DX100TS 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 beer 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 F. DX100PR / DX100PS Only
• Operate the fan by pulling and releasing the cord. Repeat to switch off. DX100HTR / DX100HTS 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. DX100HPTR / DX100HPTS 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.
• Pull Cord operation – Use the integral pull cord switch. When the fan is switched off, the fan continues to operate for the adjustable time delay then goes into automatic mode.
• DX100PIRR / DX100PIRS Only.
• The sensor detects movement in the room and activates the fan. When movement is sensed, the fan will run for a pre-set over-run period and any further movement sensed will re-start the sequence. This ensures that the room is only ventilated during and immediately after use.
• When the fan is first installed it will run for the time set by the overrun timer.
• After this time, if no movement is sensed the fan will go into stand-by mode.

All Fans
Re-fit the front cover by hooking in the top first, and then swing the cover down to clip into place.

Cleaning (recommended once a month)
