To prevent a possible hazardous situation  
from water ingress, a condensation trap  
(Xpelair No. XCT100) must be fitted as  
close as possible to the fan in all  
situations where any section of the

itself.  
LV100  
Operate the fan using an on/off switch  
(not supplied).  
LV100PC  
Operate the fan using the integral pull cord.

LV100H  
If window mounting the fan  
Operates when triggered automatically by the  
humidity sensor.  
You will need a window pane between 3mm  
and 6mm thick (preferably 4mm).  
Built-in timer automatically operates fan for a  
preset delay of 2 to 20 minutes once humidity  
drops below preset Relative Humidity (RH)  
value.  
Do not install in glass 3mm thick if the window  
pane area is more than 0.2 sq.m.  
If installing in sealed double glazing, a  
LV100HP  
specially manufactured unit should be  
obtained from the glazing manufacturer. You  
will also require a special kit, Xpelair Cat. ref.  
DXDG.  
Operates either when triggered automatically  
by the humidity sensor or when turned on  
using the integral pull cord switch (light  
indicates when fan is operating in manual  
mode).  
If installing in sash windows, you should  
mount the fan in the upper window. Secure the  
upper sash in the closed position and fit stops  
just below the level of the fan, to prevent  
damaging it when the sash is raised.  
LV100PIR

If working above Ground Floor level,  
appropriate safety precautions must be  
observed.  
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE  
WORN DURING ALL DRILLING AND  
CHISELLING OPERATIONS.  
If installing in a room containing a fuel  
burning device which has a non-balanced

our Technical Service Department.  
(For overseas markets contact your local  
Xpelair distributor).  
5. Cut the hole. Do not cut right through the wall,  
cut from both sides. (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).

down away from the fan to allow drainage of  
any incoming rain water to the outside.  
Not within 0.6m of a bath or shower cubicle, up  
to a height of 2.25m.  
9. Make good the hole. Allows the Mortar to set  
before continuing the fan installation.

If installing in a window or panel  
Installing the isolating switch and cables  
Cut a hole, 125mm in diameter. The centre of the  
hole should be at least 110mm away from the  
edge of the panel or pane of glass. It is  
recommended that you obtain a ready cut pane  
for window installation.  
1. Check that the electrical rating shown inside  
the back plate matches your mains supply.
