Introduction
General
The Nuaire XS Fan Module is available in 6, 9 and 12 inch
impeller sizes suitable for supply or extract.
An internal grille assembly is included for use if required.
Ensure adequate air replacement for the fan and any fuel
burning appliance in the room.
The external rotor motor makes for simple removal of the
push-on impeller for easy cleaning. The fan is IP24 splash proof
approved with the motor rated at IP44.
Fig 1 Fan module and internal grille.
Removing the Grille
All external components are made in soft grey colours from
ultra violet stable ABS material so they will blend with most
decors and will not fade in sunlight.
The Fan Module is supplied complete with an inlet grille.
To remove the grille, remove the two lower grille fixings. The
grille can now be lifted upwards to clear the top lip retainer and
removed.] Re-fitting the grille is the reverse of this procedure.

General Applications
Switching
The Nuaire XS Fan Module can be used as a direct replacement spare for any of the XS Fan Installation Kits available
from Nuaire. Remember to specify fan size 6, 9 or 12inch.
Operated via a separately wired 3 amp fused spur (by others)
or operated via the optional XS-MFC remote controller allowing
supply or extract, variable speed and automatic or manual
switching of several fans if desired.
The XS Fan Installation Kits available are as follows:
XS Window Fan Kit
XS Wall Fan Kit
XS Ceiling Fan Kit
XS Roof Fan Kit
Sensors
Sensors are available as remote units or integral ‘plug in’ units.
They are able to control multiple fans, depending on sensor and
fan types. Integral sensors are quick and easy to install and
are aesthetically pleasing, whilst remote sensors give the
benefit of location close to the pollutant source.
Remote sensors can be fitted with an optional security strap to
prevent unwanted tampering.
Other applications
1). In Line installation (using Duct Kit from Nuaire
Code: XS-IDK) See page 7 for details.
2). Plate Installation fixing the Fan Module face direct
to a wall.
3). Retro fit into an existing wall aperture/outlet louvre.

Replacing existing Nuaire XS Fans
The fan is fixed as the previous fan into the
existing channels on the wall liner. The picture
frame can be used if desired, however the
metal brackets are not required.
Replacing existing T-Series Fans
The brackets supplied with the kit can be
aligned with the screw fixing holes of the
previous fan. This then positions the receiving
nut on the bracket in the correct location to
allow fixing of the Nuaire refurbishment
fan.
Wiring details – T-Series Fans
A Nuaire XS fan can be used to replace a
Vent Axia ‘T’ Series fan, retaining the original
