WHERE TO FIT
BA short circuit of the air flow should always be
avoided by siting the fan as far away as possible from
and opposite to the main source of air replacement.
FAN DIMENSIONS
Before commencing work, study the tables shown in
figures C1/C2, to ensure fan will fit in position
proposed.
NB: Allow a minimum of 54mm above fan casing for
withdrawal of connector socket.
THICKNESS OF GLASS
Fans can be fitted in most types of glass and fixing
thickness up to 32mm, with the screws provided. When
fixing thickness exceeds 32mm, the unit should be
secured with Extended Fixing Rods. If the unit is to be
installed in a location exposed to severe wind
turbulence or in non-vertical panes, thicker glass will be
required – consult your nearest Vent-Axia Sales,
Service and Distribution Centre.
DFor minimum thickness of glass, for normal
conditions, see fig. D.

WIRING THE CONNECTOR SOCKET
F9Remove the top cover from the connector socket by
undoing the 2 retaining screws.
F10Lift up lever and slide out top cover.
F11Loosen cable clamp screws and pass the cable
through the clamp. (It may be necessary when using
some 3-core cables to reverse the cable clamp to ensure
that the cable is securely retained. For ease of wiring,
the terminal block may be removed from the connector
housing.
Note:
If the unit is to be wired through a T-Series single unit
controller, strip wires of the 5-core cable, see controller
wiring instructions for connections and continue from
F14. Check if wiring through an on/off switch for
single speed extract or intake use, strip wires then
connect to a suitable 3 pin plug or, if permanently
wired, a double pole isolator switch having a contact
separation of not less than 3mm must be provided.
For extract operation
F12Connect Live (brown) to terminal L3, Neutral
(blue) to terminal N and Earth (green/yellow) to
terminal E/G in the connector socket. Link terminal L3
to L1.
For intake operation
F13Connect Live (brown) to terminal L3, Neutral
(blue) to terminal N and Earth (green/yellow) to
terminal E/G in the connector socket. Link terminal L3
to L2.
F14 Tighten cable clamp screws evenly, ensuring a
secure grip on the outer sheath of the cable.
F15Slide the top cover back on and secure with the 2
retaining screws.

FOR THE USER
CLEANING
Apart from removing odours, your Vent-Axia fan also
extracts airborne impurities such as dirt, dust and
grease. These gradually build up and detract from the
efficiency and appearance of your fan. The Vent-Axia
T-Series fans are designed for easy cleaning and
maintenance. Therefore, to ensure peak performance of
your fan it should be regularly cleaned.
IMPORTANT; SWITCH OFF AND ISOLATE UNIT
FROM MAINS SUPPLY.
