Hi
I’ve just fitted a timer extractor fan in our new bathroom. When taking a ‘S, S and shave’ I want the timer to work in the normal way, where the extractor continues for a couple of minutes after switching off at the lighting pull cord.
However, when taking a long soak in the bath I wish to switch off the extractor fan (yet obviously keep the lights on). How can I do this? Presumably, I could modify the fan and just introduce a double pole switch in series with L and L1 connections to fan?
Alternatively, intro a sp switch to the fan’s L supply; but I wonder if the continuous 240v to the fan’s L1 timer would do any harm?
I’m thinking of a simple pull cord switch mod for the fan.
