These models are permanently

connected to the supply and

operation is controlled by a remote

switch.

They should be directly wired to the

supply through an approved 10A wall

mounted surface switch with

at least 3mm clearance between

contacts.

If working above ground level,

appropriate safety precautions must

be observed.

WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST

BE WORN DURING ALL DRILLING

AND CHISELLING OPERATIONS.

1. Check there are no buried pipes

or cables in the wall or obstructions

on the outside (eg: electricity,

gas, water).

2. Ensure that the centre of the hole

is located at least 145mm from the

edges of the wall.

3. Mark on the centre of the duct hole.

4. Use this centre to draw a circle to

suit the wall duct (203mm diameter

for a WK6/300 or WK6/450).

5a.Use as directed by the core drill

manufacturer.

5b. Drill a centre hole right through the

wall.

5. Cut the hole. Do not cut right

through the wall (the recommended

method is to drill a series of holes,

close together, around the edge of

the cutting line and remove the brick

between the holes with a chisel).

7. Go outside and cut a hole in the

outer wall, repeating the process

described above.

8. Fit the ducting. Ensuring that the

duct slopes down away from the fan

to allow drainage of any incoming

rain water to the outside.

9. Make good the hole. Allow for mortar

to set before continuing with the

installation.

Obtain a ready cut pane with a correctly

located hole 184mm diameter. (See Fig.A).

1. For window mounting, use the two

short ladder strips supplied with the

fan.

For Wall mounting, use the longer

strips supplied with the wall kit

WK6/300 or WK6/450.

2. Secure the two ladder strips to the

outer grille by positioning them over

the hook moulding and snapping

into position.

Ensure after fitting the hook moulding

that the gasket is in the correct

position. (See Fig.B).

4. Insert the two screw covers in the

two fixing holes in the outer grille.

If working above ground floor level,

appropriate safety precautions must

be observed.

Remove the Back Draught Shutter/Grille

Assembly, by pressing the release

catches located on the sides of the unit

with a 6mm screwdriver or coin, whilst

pulling the grille forward.

1. Hold up the outer grille to the

outside of the wall or window so that

the hole in the outer grille is aligned

with the hole in the wall or window.

2. If wiring from the rear, remove the

fans terminal cover and rear entry

knockout. Feed the cable through

the top cable entry.

2b. If wiring from above, remove fans

terminal cover and feed the cable

through the top cable entry.

2c. For GX6 (IP25) only, wiring from

above, remove fan’s terminal cover.

Pierce the cable entry grommet with

a No. 1 screwdriver and feed the

cable through the top cable entry via

the grommet. DO NOT REMOVE

THE GROMMET.

3. Hold the fan assembly to the inside

of the wall or window and guide the

ladder strips from the outer

grille through the slots in the fan

assembly.

4. Insert the slotted screws into the

pockets around the ladder strip slots.

5. Tighten the screws carefully to make

a good seal. Do not over tighten the

screws.

6. Trim the ladder strips back to the

required length, if necessary remove

any sharp edges.

1. Hold the outer grille up to the

outside of the wall so that the hole in

the outer grille is aligned with the

hole in the wall.

2. Mark the positions of the fixing holes

in the top right and bottom left

corners.

3. Drill the holes and insert anchor

fixings to suit the wall.

4. Screw the outer grille securely in

place and fit screw caps in place. Do

not over tighten screws.

5. Insert the two screw covers in the

two fixing holes in the outer grille.

6a. If wiring from the rear, remove the

fans terminal cover, and rear entry

knockout. Feed the cable through the

knockout.

6b. If wiring from above, remove the fans

terminal cover and feed the cable

through the top cable entry.

6c. For GX6 (IP25) only, wiring from

above, remove fan’s terminal cover.

Pierce the cable entry grommet with

a no. 1 screwdriver and feed the

cable through the top cable entry via

the grommet. DO NOT REMOVE

THE GROMMET.

7. Hold the fan assembly to the inside

of the wall so that the spigot is

inserted into the wall duct.

8. Mark the position of the two fixing

holes in the top left and bottom right

corners.

9. Remove the fan assembly, drill the

holes and insert anchor fixings

appropriate to the type of wall.

10. Reposition the cable and fan

assembly as before, and screw

securely in place. Do not over

tighten screws.

Note: For particularly difficult

installations, it is possible to secure the

fan with a combination of screw and

ladder strip fixings.

1. Wire the switch cable into the

terminal connections shown:

● Fig.E1 for GX6 / GXC6 / GXC6T /

GXS6 / GX6 (IP25).

● Fig.E2 for GX6T / GX6HT.

● Fig.E3 for GXHT2.

2. If the fan is wired from above,

ensure the outer sheath of cable is

retained in the labyrinth (see Fig.C).

3. Refit and secure terminal cover.

4. Refit the back draught shutter/grille

assembly by sliding the grille back

over the release catches, the

catches will locate and secure the

grille.

5. Switch off the mains electricity

supply and remove fuses.

6. Connect the cable from the isolation

switch to the electrical supply wiring.

7. Replace the fuses and switch on the

mains electrical supply.

For fixed wiring circuits the protective

fuse for the appliances must not

exceed 5A.

Note: If using an external boost switch

for the GX6HT2 (see Fig.E3), cut off the

pull cord after ensuring that it is

in the “off” position. This switch must be

marked with suitable markings to

indicate speed control.

● These fans are single speed, except

the GX6HT2 which is two speed, and

all are non reversible (extract only).

● The shutters have a time delay of up

to 1 minute on opening and up to 3

minutes on closing. Activated by

operation of the switch, the delay

ensures quiet operation (except

GXC6 and GXS6 models).

For Australia Only: WARNING – Children should

not play with the appliance. Young children and

the infirm should be supervised.

● The fan is operated by a remote

switch.

● The fan is operated by an integral pull

cord.

● To switch on, pull down the cord and

then release it.

● Repeat to switch off.

● The fan is operated by an integral pull

cord.

● To switch on, pull down the cord and

then release it.

● Repeat to switch off.

● The integral timer provides an

adjustable overrun period after the

fan has been switched off.
