Installation, Maintenance and Use

iCON Domestic DC Fans are available in 2 model sizes and can be fitted into a wall or ceiling.

Each fan requires a suitable size hole through the wall or ceiling which connects into a duct

venting to the outside. The external opening should be covered by a suitable external grill,

available separately from Airflow Developments Ltd.

Model Options

72683701 - 15S -100mm Axial Fan with maximum capacity of 21.9 l/sec.

72683801 - 30S -100mm Mixed Flow Fan with maximum capacity of 34.25 l/sec

iCON Domestic DC Fans can be used as a simple extract fan powered via the SELV power

supply unit (supplied), and connected to either a remote switch, or can be fitted with an

internal control module, supplied to give a range of control options including timer,

humidity, motion sensor, pull cord, trickle speed or a combination of these functions.

Optional control modules are available separately and can be fitted at the time of

installation or retrofitted.

iCON Domestic DC Fans have IPX 4 rated housings, they are double-insulated and are

suitable for fitting in Zone 1 or 2 of bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, utility rooms and inside

shower cubicles as defined in Section 701 BS7161:2008 (IEEE Wiring Regulations, 17th

Edition ). They also comply with the 2010 Building Regulations, Approved Document F. The

power supply unit, supplied with the fan, must be fitted outside of Zones 0, 1 and 2. It is

usually installed outside the room.

Do not place the fan near direct heat sources, e.g. radiant heaters, or where temperatures

can exceed 40°C (104°F).

The power supply unit has resettable over current and short circuit protection. An external

3Amp fuse is still required with each power supply. The power supply unit has a Led

indicator to show that the unit is switched on and functioning correctly.

Note: Switches for fans should be selected and sited in accordance with BS7161:2008

All electrical installation to be carried out by an approved electrician in accordance with Part

“P” U.K. Building Regulations and to the latest IEEE standards, or the appropriate regulations

in the country of installation.

ALWAYS ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT AND FAN UNIT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY

BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER.

Mechanical Installation

Power Supply Unit

The power supply unit does not require dismantling and should be installed by a qualified

electrician to BS7161:2008 (IEEE wiring standards 17th Edition). The maximum length of wire

between the power supply and the fan should not exceed 5m using 1.5mm2wire.

NEVER COVER THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT WITH THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS

Fan Unit

iCON Domestic DC Fans can be recessed in a wall or

ceiling. A mounting skirt is provided for surface

mounting of the 30S.

To avoid the backflow of condensation into the fan in

a ceiling installation it is good practice to fit a

CONDENSATION TRAP to the outlet duct of the fan.

Ensure free running of the fan impeller and that

flexible duct connections are not over tightened to

the fan’s outlet spigot.

Airflow recommend that rigid ducting is used instead

of flexible ducting, this will ensure maximum

performance

Front Cover Removal

The front cover has a bayonet type

fitting. To remove, undo the retaining

screw at the bottom edge of the cover

using a screwdriver, then rotate the

cover a few degrees anticlockwise and

remove. To refit, reverse the above

procedure.

The 15S requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall, lined with a 100mm id (internal

diameter) duct.

The 30S requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall, counter bored 160mm diameter

to a depth of 75mm. The 110mm hole should be lined with a 100mm id duct.

Surface Mounting on the Wall

When surface mounting the 30S, the supplied mounting skirt should be used. The 30S

requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall lined with a 100mm id duct.

Recessing Fans in the Ceiling

When recessing fans in the ceiling, a plywood support (min 18mm thick) should be mounted

between the ceiling joists. Fans should not be fitted to unsupported plaster board.

The 15S requires a 110mm diameter hole through the ceiling. The fan should be fixed with

the screws provided, through the plaster board into the support.

The 30S requires a 160mm diameter hole through the ceiling. The fan should be fixed with

the screws provided, through the plaster board into the support.

Surface Mounting Fans in the Ceiling

When surface mounting the 30S, the mounting skirt should be used.

The 30S requires a 110mm diameter hole through the ceiling. The surface mounting skirt to

be fixed, with the screws provided, through the plaster board into the support. The fan is

then fitted into the skirt.

Where flexible duct is used the diameter must be maintained.
