Product Information

Full details

The Manrose CF200LV is a 12-volt centrifugal fan designed for safe installation within the splash zones of showers and baths, where standard electrical fans cannot be used due to current regulations. Its key benefit is providing essential ventilation in wet areas while maintaining safety standards. A primary consideration is that it requires a remote transformer and switching mechanism, which are sold separately. This fan offers a robust solution for moisture and steam extraction in bathrooms.

FAQs

Can this fan be installed in a standard bathroom?

Yes, it is suitable for standard bathrooms and is specifically designed for safe installation within the splash areas of showers and baths.

What electrical components are needed besides the fan?

You will need a Manrose LT12 transformer and a suitable remote switching mechanism (e.g., pull cord switch, timer switch) to operate the fan.

What is the extract rate of this fan?

The CF200LV has an extract rate of 110m³/hr (approximately 31 litres per second).

How often should I clean the fan?

It is recommended to check the fan for dust and obstructions periodically, and clean it with a damp cloth as needed to maintain optimal performance. A quick check every few months is usually sufficient.

What is the power consumption of the fan?

The fan has a wattage of 25W.

Is this fan suitable for use with a timer switch?

Yes, the fan can be wired to a compatible remote timer switch, allowing for timed operation after the main switch is turned off.

What are the physical dimensions of the fan?

The dimensions are: Height: 185mm x Width: 260mm x Depth: 135mm.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not operate

Check that the LT12 transformer is correctly connected and receiving power. Verify the remote switch is functioning correctly. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and made by a qualified electrician.

Reduced airflow or noise

Inspect the fan intake and outlet for any blockages, such as debris or excessive dust. Clean the fan blades and casing with a damp cloth. Ensure ducting is not kinked or obstructed.

Fan operates intermittently

Check the connections to the remote switch (pull cord, timer, etc.) as these can be a common point of failure. Ensure the transformer is functioning within its specified voltage output.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe to install in shower and bath splash zones.
  • Powerful extraction rate for effective moisture removal.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean ABS construction.
  • Long-lasting, maintenance-free motor.
  • Meets building regulations for ventilation.

Cons

  • Requires a separate LT12 transformer and switching mechanism.
  • Only one speed setting.
  • Axial type extractor may be less suitable for very long duct runs compared to centrifugal fans designed for high static pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Manrose CF200LV requires a separate LT12 transformer for its 12V operation. The transformer and any chosen switching mechanism (e.g., a pull cord switch, wall switch, or timer switch) must be installed remotely from the fan unit, typically in a safe location such as the ceiling void or a suitable wall-mounted enclosure. The fan unit itself is designed for installation within ducting, ensuring it is securely fixed in place. Ensure all electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with current wiring regulations.

Compatibility:

This fan is compatible with the Manrose LT12 transformer. It is designed for standard bathroom ducting systems. The 12V AC power supply dictates its specific electrical compatibility.

Care:

The unit is manufactured from high-impact ABS thermoplastics, which are durable and easy to clean. To maintain performance, periodically check the fan grille for any obstructions or dust accumulation. Cleaning can be done using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic casing. Ensure the fan is switched off and isolated from the power supply before cleaning.
