4.1. Dimensions and Mounting
Refer to the diagram and table below for precise dimensions to ensure proper fit and installation.
Image 4.1: Dimensional drawing and table for X100 and X120 models. For X120ZT, use the X120 row.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Opening: Create a circular opening in the wall or ceiling with a diameter of approximately 119mm (D dimension for X120) to accommodate the fan's spigot.
- Disassemble the Fan: Carefully remove the front cover of the fan to access the mounting holes and wiring terminal.
- Position the Fan: Place the fan body into the prepared opening, ensuring it is level.
- Mark Drilling Points: Mark the positions for the mounting screws through the fan's mounting holes onto the wall/ceiling.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall/ceiling material. Insert wall plugs if necessary.
- Secure the Fan: Mount the fan body securely to the wall or ceiling using the provided screws.
4.2. Electrical Wiring
WARNING: Ensure power is OFF at the main circuit breaker before wiring. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
- Access Terminal Block: Locate the electrical terminal block inside the fan unit.
- Connect Wires: Connect the electrical supply wires to the terminal block as follows:
- Live (L): Connect the switched live wire (e.g., from a light switch) to the 'L' terminal.
- Neutral (N): Connect the neutral wire to the 'N' terminal.
- Switched Live for Timer (LT): Connect a permanent live wire to the 'LT' terminal if you wish to utilize the timer function. This allows the fan to run on after the main switch is turned off.
- Secure Wiring: Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Use cable clamps to prevent strain on the wires.
- Reassemble: Carefully reattach the front cover of the fan.

5. Operation
Once installed and wired correctly, the EUROPLAST X120ZT fan is ready for use.
5.1. Basic On/Off
If connected to a light switch or a dedicated fan switch, the fan will activate when the switch is turned ON and deactivate when the switch is turned OFF.
5.2. Timer Function
The X120ZT model includes an adjustable run-on timer. This feature allows the fan to continue operating for a set period after the main switch (e.g., light switch) is turned OFF. The timer duration can typically be adjusted via a small potentiometer located inside the fan unit (usually accessible after removing the front cover). Use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the adjustment screw to set the desired run-on time, usually ranging from 2 to 30 minutes.
Note: The timer function requires a permanent live connection to the 'LT' terminal during wiring.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your EUROPLAST X120ZT fan.
- Disconnect Power: ALWAYS turn off the power supply to the fan at the main circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.
- Remove Front Cover: Carefully unclip or unscrew the front grille/cover of the fan.
- Clean Grille and Impeller: Use a soft cloth, a mild detergent solution, or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the grille and the fan impeller blades. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Wipe Housing: Wipe the exterior housing of the fan with a damp cloth.
- Reassemble: Ensure all parts are dry before reattaching the front cover.
- Restore Power: Turn the power supply back on at the main circuit breaker.
Frequency: It is recommended to clean the fan every 3-6 months, depending on the level of dust and humidity in the environment.
