HPM Inline Exhaust Fan Kit – 100mm & 150mm

1 Specifications

2 Features

The inline fan is designed to extract steam and odours from a bathroom and expel it to the exterior through an eave outlet. It is also suitable for extracting air from one room and expelling it to another room (heat distribution).

The fan engine is fitted into the ceiling, well away from the inlet. This inline feature allows the inlet grille to be mounted in wet areas (near the splash zones of bathrooms) or even above the shower. And because the motor is in the ceiling cavity (away from the inlet grille), noise from the fan is minimal.

3 Please Read Carefully

1. This product shall be installed in accordance to AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
2. This product is meant for indoor use only.
3. Regulations concerning the discharge of air must be fulfilled. Local building codes may require venting to the outside.
4. Do not locate the inlet grille above a stove. This product is not to be used in conjunction with a kitchen range hood exhaust system.
5. The minimum length of duct between the fan engine and the inlet / outlet grilles is 200mm.
6. Cross Ventilation: Ventilation products must have an adequate source of external air to ensure rated performance.
7. Steam and air will only be exhausted through the fan if there is sufficient flow of air through the room. Ensure adequate inlets exist through windows, vents or under the door. Airflow path from the inlet to the fan should ideally pass over the source of steam or air to be removed from the room. Restrictions on replacement air entering the room to be ventilated, or pressure-differentials between the room and outside air will significantly reduce the exhaust fan's performance.
8. Unit location: The fan engine should be positioned at the highest point on the system so the ducting will slope downwards to both grilles. Refer to Fig. 2. Do not cover the fan engine with thermal insulation. Keep at least 100mm clearance between the engine and thermal insulation. The fan engine should not be located in an area containing excessive levels of grease. When choosing a location for the wall switch, ensure it is not within arm's reach or accessible to a person in a bath or shower.
9. Unit Orientation: The unit must be installed to ensure the fan inlet, outlet and ducting are oriented in parallel to any roofing structures or supports. Refer to Fig. 1 for correct installation orientation. Orientation which forces the unit to be ducted into a 90° bend immediately after the fan inlet/outlet will cause a significant performance reduction.
10. Duct Routing: As the back pressure increases the unit's performance is reduced. Airflow will be reduced with bends in duct or squashing of duct. When fitted, the inlet & outlet grilles must be lower than the inline fan engine. Refer to Fig. 2. The duct must not be installed vertically into a roof vent cap - the product is not designed or intended for this type of installation. Refer to Fig.3.

Orientation of the junction box can be adjusted to suit the fan engine's mounting location.

1. Unscrew and open the engine clamps.
2. Rotate the Engine to the desired position of the junction box.
3. Replace the engine clamps and tighten the screws.

6 Installation

Before commencing installation, remove all packaging from the product and ensure that power to the circuit has been isolated.

1. Choose a suitable mounting location for the inlet grille. Ensure there is adequate clearance from studs, pipes, wires etc (Fig. 8).
2. Cut a Ø160mm hole in the ceiling (Fig. 9).
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the outlet grille.
4. Choose a suitable mounting location for the fan engine. Ensure that a power outlet is installed near the intended location of the engine.
5. Mount the engine to a suitable support using the mounting screws provided or other suitable fixings (not provided). The engine should be positioned so that the power cord is pointing downwards.
6. Stretch, measure and cut the expandable duct to fit between each grille and the fan engine. To obtain optimum performance, the duct should be fully stretched and without any holes or splits.
7. Attach duct to the outlet grille using the cable ties provided. Pass the duct through the outlet hole and mount the outlet grille to the ceiling / eave.
8. Slide the free end of the duct onto the outlet end of the fan engine and secure it with duct tape.
9. Attach duct to the inlet grille using the cable ties provided. Pass the duct through the inlet hole and mount the inlet grille to the ceiling.
10. Slide the free end of the duct onto the inlet end of the fan engine and secure it with duct tape.
11. Set the Speed Switch to the desired speed (0 – Off, I - Low, II – High).
12. Plug the fan engine into the power outlet (Fig. 10).
13. Switch on the inline fan and test function. Use a paper tissue held against the inlet grille to verify suction.
