Introduction

The VETUS electric ventilator, type FAN, is intended for ventilating accommodation rooms, bedrooms and toilets and for extracting warm air from a refrigerator on board ship. The fan is virtually silent with a very low current consumption and is fitted with a two-speed switch.

Airflow Direction

As supplied, the fan will blow air from inside to the outside (see Diagram 1). It is possible to reverse this air flow (from outside to inside) by turning the fan impeller and its housing around within the plastic casing (see Diagram 2).

Diagram 1: Shows the default airflow direction from inside to outside.

Diagram 2: Illustrates reversing the airflow direction from outside to inside by rotating the fan impeller and housing.

Installation

Fit the fan on the wall or ceiling. It can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
Drill or saw a 75 mm (3") diameter hole in the ceiling or wall.
Glue the self-adhesive gasket supplied to the flange on the fan blade housing.
Drill the holes for the bolts or screws using the fan as a guide.
Fix the fan with 3 bolts or screws. Tighten up evenly, but not so tight that the plastic cap cracks.

The fan can also be fitted under an existing VETUS deck ventilator (type Ufo, Ufo-Trans, Goofy or Scirocco).

Electrical Connections

Check the on-board voltage is the same as that stated on the fan (12 V or 24 V).
Connect up the fan as shown in the wiring diagram.
Install a 500 mA fuse (for 12 Volts) or a 250 mA fuse (for 24 Volts) in the positive (+) wire.

The fan is protected against incorrect connection.

Wiring Diagram Description: The electrical connections involve: 1. Battery, 2. Fuse, 3. Black wire (-) connected to the fan, 4. Red wire (+) connected to the fan, 5. The Fan unit. A fuse is required in the positive (+) wire.
