xpelair fans

[texas bob]

Hi, anyone know anything about xpelair timed fans?? spent the whole day in loft today, goes on with switch, stays on when switched off, and then stays on forever??? and whats with the switched neutral?

In this instance discard the installation instructions and wire it with a perm live and switched live.

Also look closer on the PCB by the screw terminals often they are printed to show the perm and switched live positions.

3rd image down on right hand side of Bugsy's attachment is the on you want.

No switched Neutral other than isolator.

No mate, looks exactly the same but on line diagram , terminals show N, L1, L2 and T with the switch on the neutral going to T

But these make alot more sense mate. Where did you find them?

Arrghhh. I have exactly the same fan, and the same issue. I had this exact same model of fan before, and it had a switched live - it worked perfectly for 2 years. When it died, I bought the exact same model to replace it - this one now has a switched neutral! Wiring it up the same as the previous one does NOT work - it just comes on permanently. It also does the same if I swap live and neutral but still provide a switched live.

I really don't want to have to re-write the lights to be switched neutral - did you manage to sort this texas bob?

Hi mate, ignore the terminal markings on the unit and the instructions. They are both wrong! Wire it as a 150+T model as follows... L N1 N2 T and T is a switched live mate. Xpelair agree with this and are sending me a cheque for my many wasted hours! whoop whoop. Hope this helps.
