5. Instal·lació
Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before commencing work.
Figura 5.1: Diagrams illustrating various installation methods for the Airflow Icon 15S, including recessed and surface mounting on walls and ceilings, along with best practice recommendations for flexible ducting.
5.1 Instal·lació a la paret
Muntatge encastat a la paret
- The iCON 15S requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall.
- The hole should be lined with a 100mm internal diameter duct.
- Secure the fan within the prepared opening using appropriate fixings.
Muntatge a la paret superficial
- When surface mounting, use the supplied mounting skirt.
- The iCON 15S requires a 100mm internal diameter duct for connection.
- Ensure all vapor barriers are properly restored after installation.
5.2 Instal·lació al sostre
Muntatge encastat al sostre
- L'iCON 15S requereix un forat de 110 mm de diàmetre al sostre.
- The fan should be fitted into the hole and fixed with screws provided into the support structure.
Muntatge en superfície al sostre
- When surface mounting, use the supplied mounting skirt.
- The fan is then fitted into the skirt and secured.
- For recessed or surface mounting in a ceiling, a plywood support (min. 18mm thick) must be mounted between the ceiling joists. Any fixing screws should be fitted through the plasterboard into the support.
5.3 Ducting Recommendations
- Where flexible ducting is used, the diameter must be maintained.
- It is good ventilation practice that the ducting is extended to a minimum of 90% its possible length in order to maintain the best possible airflow.
- Ensure that flexible duct connections are not overtightened to the spigots.
- To maximize airflow, rigid ducting should be used where possible.
- Fan and ducting installation must comply with the requirements of the Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide and relevant Building Regulations.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
The basic Airflow Icon 15S fan operates when power is supplied to its 12V DC transformer, typically controlled by a remote switch (e.g., a light switch). For advanced functionalities, optional plug-in modules are required.
6.1 Funcionament bàsic
- When the fan receives power, the iris shutter will open, and the fan will begin to extract air.
- When power is removed, the fan will stop, and the iris shutter will close, preventing back draughts.
6.2 Operation with Optional Modules
Refer to Section 8, "Optional Modules," for details on specific module functionalities such as pull cord, timer, humidity sensor, and PIR motion detection.
