Hi mate thanks, but if you swap them round the timer does not work at all? fan just opperates as a non timer fan and goes on and of with the switch.

Sounds like you have mixed up the connections.

The neutral has to be permenant NOT switched !! The permenant live is for the timer and the switched live is as it says from the switch of your light normally.

Turn the timer down to its lowest time setting as per the manufacturers instructions.

Thanks mate butI have three fans all the same and all do the same thing. All wiring to the units are exactly to instructions, but neutrals connect to red and live conects to blue in the actual module.weird

No mate,I know it is frowned upon but this fan definatly has switched neutral, its the only one i have ever fitted which is, but i am assured by xpelair that this is correct?

Are you sure they are not referring to the isolation switch?

As others have said perm neutral, live and switched live.

Does not say anything about a humidistat in tha instructions at all so i assume not, however another spark told me that some humidistat models stay on for 24 hours on first use to 'set' themselves?

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.

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.

Puzzled me for ages till I found this site, could not understand why switched live ?? Went for Xpelaie product thinking quality would be good and they cant even electrically mark their product correctly ..

Hi Texas Bob,
I have just had this issue with the same fan model and again xpelair are 100% it is correct on the wiring diagram mand should be switch neutral.
Any chance you can copy me any mail or contact you had so i can take up with them. Short of taking fan out for return i'm stuck.
Cheers
