Through wall
Use Xpelair installation kit XXSWK4.
1 Check there are no buried pipes or
cables in the wall or obstructions
on the outside e.g. electricity, gas,
water.
2 Mark on the wall the centre of the
duct hole.
3 Use this centre to mark a circle to
suit the wall duct (115mm diameter).

manufacturer.
If core drill equipment is not
available:
4b Drill a centre hole right through the
wall.
5 Cut the hole. Do not cut right through
the wall. (The recommended method
is to drill a series of holes, close
together, around the edge of the
cutting line and remove the brick
between the holes with a chisel).
6 From the outside, cut a hole in the
outer wall, repeating the process
described above.
7 Align the grilles centrally and
squarely over their holes and mark
the positions of the two holes and
insert raw plugs supplied.
8 Remove the mounting bracket from
the fan by sawing off with a small
hacksaw.
9 If necessary, cut an appropriate slot
in one side of the integral grille where
the cable will exit.

seal around the grilles (if required).

11 Assemble the internal grille, fan and
duct. Place one piece of duct either
side of the fan. Pass the assembly
through the hole from the inside and
on the outside mark the duct for
cutting where it is level with the
outside wall. Remove and cut with a
hacksaw.
12 Connect wiring as detailed in
'Electrical connections' section.
13 Re-insert the assembly through the
hole and screw the internal grille to
the wall and fit the screw covers.
Hold open the top and bottom vanes
of the external grille and slide onto
the duct then secure to the wall (as
above), ensuring the vanes open and
shut freely.
Ensure that the duct slopes down
away from the fan to allow
drainage of any incoming rain
water to the outside.
Electrical connections
For fixed wiring circuits the
protective fuse for the appliance
must not exceed 5A.
All wiring must be fixed securely.
Important: Switch off mains supply
before making any electrical
connections.
1 Remove the cover of the fan by
springing out the spring clips using a
3mm electrical screwdriver.
2 Remove the cable clamp.
3 Wire the fan as shown in E , check
fan model to diagram.
4 Replace the cable clamp and two
screws. Ensure the cable is firmly
retained by the clamp.
5 Adjust the timer (if fitted): The timer
model XXS100T has a variable
overun timer of between 2 minutes
and 20 minutes. Turn the adjustment
screw X with an electrical
screwdriver clockwise to reduce the
time and anticlockwise to increase
the time. Test the timing is
satisfactory immediately after
connecting the electrical supply as
access will be limited after
completion of the installation.
6 Replace the terminal cover.
7 Switch off the mains electrical
supply and remove fuses.
8 Connect the cable from the isolating
switch to the electrical supply wiring.
Using your fan
XXS100 only
Operate the fan using the double pole
isolating switch.
XXS100T only
Operate the fan using the on/off switch.
When the switch is turned off, the fan
continues to operate for the adjusted
time delay.
Cleaning
The grilles can be washed with a mild
household cleaner.
