From the 230V supply to the fan unit itself, use Twin + Earth 1.0-1.5mm. Between the fan unit and the switch, use H05RN-F 1mm 5-core cable.

Understanding the Cable Specifications for FLUXO

When installing the VENTI FLUXO ventilation system, ensuring the correct cable specification is crucial for both safety and optimal performance. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the cable requirements and why they matter:

1. From the 230V Supply to the Fan Unit: Twin + Earth 1.0-1.5mm

• Purpose: This cable connects the FLUXO unit to the mains power supply. It ensures a stable and safe electrical connection.
• Specifications:
  • Type: Twin + Earth cable is a standard UK electrical cable used for fixed wiring.
  • Size: 1.0-1.5mm² is suitable for the FLUXO’s power requirements, providing adequate current capacity.
  • Compliance: This cable meets UK electrical regulations, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Installation Tips:
  • Ensure the cable is securely connected to a dedicated circuit.
  • Use a qualified electrician to handle the installation to comply with UK wiring regulations.

2. Between the Fan Unit and the Switch: H05RN-F 1mm 5-Core Cable

• Purpose: This cable links the FLUXO unit to the control switch, allowing for user operation and control.
• Specifications:
  • Type: H05RN-F is a flexible, rubber-sheathed cable designed for outdoor and mechanical use.
  • Size: 1mm² is sufficient for the control signals and low-power requirements.
  • Cores: 5-core provides the necessary connections for control functions, including speed settings and bypass modes.
• Installation Tips:
  • Ensure the cable is protected from physical damage, especially if routed externally.
  • Follow the wiring diagram provided in the FLUXO installation manual for correct connections.

Why These Cable Specifications Matter

• Safety: Using the correct cables ensures compliance with UK electrical standards, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
• Performance: Properly sized cables prevent voltage drops and ensure the FLUXO unit operates efficiently.
• Durability: H05RN-F cable is designed to withstand mechanical stress, making it ideal for connections between the unit and switch.

Additional Considerations

• Professional Installation: Always hire a qualified electrician or VENTI Verified Installer to ensure the installation meets UK regulations and safety standards.
• Compatibility: These cable specifications are specific to the FLUXO unit. Using different cables may void the warranty or compromise performance.
• Future Maintenance: Ensure cables are accessible for future maintenance or upgrades.

Ensure your FLUXO installation is safe and efficient by using the correct cable specifications as outlined above.
