Installation Instructions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT.
THE RANGE
SFK10/4, SFK12/5, SFK15/6
- standard versions - should be operated by a
remote switch.
SFK10/4T, SFK12/5T, SFK15/6T
- with adjustable overrun timer - these fans
should be operated by a remote switch which can also be used to control the
room light. After the light/fan is switched off the fan will continue to run for the pre-
set length of time. The overrun on the timer can be adjusted, from a minimum of 3
minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes, by disconnecting the power supply, remov-
ing the cover from the bracket and by turning the trimmer on the board in a clock-
wise direction. To reduce the overrun time, turn the trimmer in an anti-clockwise
direction.
IMPORTANT - SITING INFORMATION
1. The fan will perform better the fewer the number of bends you have in the duct-
ing and the shorter the distance between the fan and the outside wall.
2. The fan must not be used in an ambient temperature higher than 40°C.
3. An adequate supply of fresh air must be provided if the fan is to be fitted in a
room containing a fuel burning appliance which is not of the balanced flue type.
4. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrect installation can
cause damage to people, animals or property for which the manufacturer can-
not be held liable.
5. If you have any doubts concerning this product, please contact your supplier.
IMPORTANT - ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1 All electrical connections must comply with current BS7671 wiring regulations.
2 The fan is a fixed appliance, and the electrical supply must therefore be by a
fixed wired and fused (3 amp) spur incorporating a double pole switch with con-
tact openings of at least 3mm. Use twin conductor cable of at least 1mm in
section.
3 Your fan is double insulated and does not require earthing.
4 The fans comply with BSEN60335; with the Low Voltage Directive; with EC
Directive EMC 89/336 for the Suppression of Radio Interference.
5 It is recommended that the installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.
6 The printed circuit board in these fans has been protected to make it compati-
ble with the majority of fluorescent fittings available on the market today.
However, it is impossible to be aware of all the new products introduced. We
suggest therefore that you contact your supplier to establish the compatibility of
the fluorescent fitting you intend to use.
