1. Consideracións de montaxe
Before mounting, ensure the chosen location provides adequate space for the unit and allows for proper air extraction. Refer to the dimensional drawing for precise measurements.
Figure 2: Dimensional drawing illustrating the various measurements (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) of the Vortice VORT QE 100 L unit, essential for planning the installation space.
Ensure the wall opening or ducting matches the fan's outlet diameter (80mm). Secure the fan firmly to the wall or within the built-in cavity using appropriate fasteners (not supplied).
2. Conexión eléctrica
All electrical connections must be made with the main power supply disconnected. The fan operates via a wired electrical connection. Follow the wiring diagram carefully.
Figure 3: Electrical wiring diagram for the Vortice VORT QE 100 L. This diagram shows connections for the main terminal block (A), 100m³/h switch (B), room light (C), and main bipolar switch (D), along with Live (L) and Neutral (N) inputs. Note the timed input connection.
- Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your power supply to the corresponding terminals on the main terminal block (A).
- If connecting to a switch for the fan, connect the switched live to the appropriate terminal (e.g., terminal 1, 2, or 3 as indicated for the 100m³/h switch).
- For the timer function, ensure the timed input is correctly wired as per the diagram. This typically involves a separate switched live connection that triggers the timer.
- Asegúrese de que todas as conexións estean seguras e illadas.
