FAQs
Does this fan come with a transformer?
The XF100ALV typically requires a compatible 12V transformer, which is often sold separately depending on the specific supplier kit.
Can I install this on the ceiling?
Yes, this fan is designed to be versatile and can be installed on ceilings, walls, or window glass.
Is the shutter operation supposed to be delayed?
Yes, the internal shutters use a thermal actuator that takes approximately 45 seconds to heat up and open, ensuring silent operation.
What size ducting does it use?
The unit is designed for standard 100mm (4-inch) diameter ducting.
Is it safe to put this inside a shower cubicle?
Yes, because the unit is 12V SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage), it is specifically designed for safe installation in the splash zone.
What is the extraction rate?
The fan provides an extract rate of 85m³/hr.
Troubleshooting
Fan fails to start when power is triggered
Check the 12V transformer connections and ensure the power supply is active.
Shutters fail to open
Wait at least 60 seconds after power is applied; if they remain closed, inspect the shutter actuator mechanism for physical obstructions.
Fan is making excessive noise
Check that the fan is mounted securely to the surface and that the ducting is not collapsed or pinched.

Maintenance Tips:
