This model is designed for simple switching on / off from a separate switch, e.g. light switch or spur connection unit (not supplied). It does NOT have a run on timer or pull cord, therefore no circuit board. Requires live and neutral wires (2 cores + earth) connected to the fan. Class II - double insulated, no earth connection required.
This guide is for users of the Addvent AVX100SN extractor fan, specifically designed for bathrooms and toilets. The key benefit is effective ventilation through simple on/off operation. A caveat is that it requires a separate switch for operation, as it does not include a run-on timer or pull cord.
