Fan timer internal wiring

[googleme]

I recently started a house rewire and got dragged away for a couple of days. When I got back the chippies had mounted and connected the timed fan in the bathroom, no problem right?
wrong, they don't know which cores they used in the fan and to make matters worse they've boxed the fan in so I can't check.
So does anyone know how the internal wiring is so I might take some resistance readings of the winding and hopefully connect it right without hit and miss connecting.
Thanks

You need to access the fan, simple as that.

All screwed connections need to be accesible anyway, plus what provision is inplace to access the fan for maintanence or replacement in the future?

For all you know some numpty chippy might have connected the earth to one of the fan terminals or something daft like that.

How's the fan going to extract if it's boxed in???????

This is what the client wanted. There is a slot cut in the Plasterboard for air flow with the fan inside, I tried to tell them but they wanted it this way. I know that at some time it will have to be cut out for replacement but that's up to them. In the meantime I just want to get the fan working without doing any damage to the decor. The chippie knows what terminals he connected to but not what colours he used.

And your signing the EIC !?!?

If you're filling in an EIC which I assume you will then you'll need access to the connections, use the chippies tomfoollery as an excuse to gain access.

Tell him that as it is not accessible for inspection you cannot safely connect the fan as you have no access to inspect the fan for damage or in-correct installation. Quote the regulation about junction boxes must be accessible as the fan has its junction box where the cable is attached.

I've had customers who want sockets in the bathroom, inaccesible kitchen sockets etc. but if it breaks the regs you can't carry on regardless, just because the customer wants it.
