4.3 Electrical Connection

Warning: Electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure power is disconnected at the mains before proceeding.

• Open the terminal cover on the fan unit.
• Connect the live (L), neutral (N), and switched live (LT) wires according to the wiring diagram provided inside the fan's terminal box.
• The switched live (LT) connection is typically used to link the fan to a light switch, allowing it to activate when the light is turned on.
• Close the terminal cover securely.

5. Operating Instructions

The EUROPLAST X100ZHT fan offers automated operation through its timer and humidity sensor functions.

5.1 Timer Function

The integrated timer allows the fan to continue running for a set duration after the main power switch (e.g., light switch) is turned off. The timer duration is adjustable, typically via a small potentiometer located inside the fan's casing (refer to internal diagrams for exact location).

• To adjust the timer, carefully remove the front grille (if applicable) and locate the timer adjustment screw.
• Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw: clockwise to increase the run-on time, counter-clockwise to decrease it.
• Test the setting by turning the fan on and then off, observing the run-on time.

5.2 Humidity Sensor Function

The humidity sensor automatically activates the fan when the ambient humidity level exceeds a pre-set threshold. This is ideal for maintaining optimal air quality in humid environments like bathrooms.

• The humidity sensor sensitivity is also adjustable, usually via a separate potentiometer next to the timer adjustment.
• Turn the adjustment screw to set the desired humidity activation threshold. Turning it clockwise typically increases sensitivity (fan activates at lower humidity), and counter-clockwise decreases sensitivity (fan activates at higher humidity).
• Test the setting by creating a humid environment (e.g., running a hot shower) and observing if the fan activates.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fan.

1. Disconnect Power: Always turn off the power supply to the fan at the mains before any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Clean the Grille: Carefully remove the front grille. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
