• Live (L): Connect to the permanent live supply.
• Switched Live (LS/LT): Connect to the switched live supply (e.g., from a light switch). This activates the timer.
• Neutral (N): Connect to the neutral supply.
• Earth (E): Connect to the earth terminal.

Important: All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. Incorrect wiring can lead to malfunction, electric shock, or fire.

5. Operating Instructions

The EUROPLAST Wall Fan with Timer operates in conjunction with your room's lighting or another switched power source.

5.1. Basic Operation

• When the connected light (or other switched power source) is turned ON, the fan will activate and begin extracting air.
• When the connected light (or other switched power source) is turned OFF, the fan will continue to operate for a pre-set duration due to its integrated timer.

5.2. Timer Adjustment

The timer allows you to adjust the fan's run-on time after the switched power source is turned off. This duration can typically be set from approximately 1 minute up to 30 minutes. The adjustment mechanism is usually a small potentiometer located inside the fan unit, accessible after removing the front grille. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust the timer setting. Refer to the specific markings on the timer module for 'Min' and 'Max' settings.
