The extraction rate for the 100mm model is 85m³ per hour, which is equivalent to 23 litres per second.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on

Ensure the remote transformer is connected to a live power source and the switching mechanism is functioning correctly. Check all wiring connections.

Fan runs continuously

Verify the humidity sensor is not stuck in a high-moisture reading. Check the timer settings; it might be set to run for an extended period.

Low airflow or noise

Check the ducting for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the fan's air intake grille is clean and free from obstructions.

Fan does not turn off after light is switched off

The timer may be set to its maximum duration. Consult the manual for adjusting timer settings. If the issue persists, check the timer switch wiring.
