The timer function allows the fan to continue operating for a pre-set period after the main power switch (e.g., the light switch) is turned off. This helps to ensure all residual moisture or odors are cleared from the room, preventing condensation and improving air quality.
While mounting the fan unit itself might be manageable for some DIYers, the electrical connections, especially for the timer function, require a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
It is recommended to clean the exterior of the fan monthly and the interior (impeller and housing) every 6-12 months, depending on usage and the environment. This ensures optimal performance and longevity.
The Awenta SYSTEM+ 125mm Timer Extractor Fan is designed for standard 125mm (5-inch) ducting, which can be either flexible or rigid.
Yes, it is suitable for bathrooms and shower rooms, provided it is installed according to electrical safety regulations (e.g., outside the direct spray zone of the shower) and the timer function is utilized to effectively remove steam.
Typically, extractor fans like this are sold as the unit itself and do not include ducting, vent kits, or pre-attached electrical plugs. These components usually need to be purchased separately, and electrical connections must be made by a qualified professional.
Check that the power supply is connected correctly and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify wiring for the switched live and permanent live connections if using the timer function.
Ensure the ducting is not kinked, blocked, or disconnected. Check that the impeller is clean and unobstructed.
Verify that the timer has been wired correctly to both the switched live and permanent live feeds according to the installation diagram. Ensure the timer setting (if adjustable) is configured correctly.
Check for any foreign objects in the impeller or fan housing. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and that ducting is not vibrating against surfaces.
Setup:
This extractor fan is designed for either wall or ceiling mounting. Ensure a suitable location is chosen, away from direct water spray and in line with building regulations. The timer function requires connection to a switched live feed and a permanent live feed, necessitating professional electrical installation. Ensure 125mm ducting is securely connected to the fan outlet and routed externally or to a suitable vent.
