Extractor Fan

[sigmolio]

In  a small shower room I'm replacing an old extractor fan with a new Manrose 4" timed one. (old one wasn't timed). There is only one cable from the wall with red , black and earth cores. This is fitted high up on the wall and,  about 2 feet away  is what  I think you would call a "fused spur" with a 3amp fuse. The old fan had an on /off  pull cord, and was controlled, along with the ceiling light, by a wall switch ( with a small red neon light) outside the room.

The new fan requires permanent live, switched live and neutral.

Can I simply connect the black to neutral and the red to either the perm live or the switched live and do without the timer ?

Any assist gratefully accepted.

If you connect it to the switched live it'll work without the timer.

 That's very kind and much obliged

yes, but you will need to link both L & SL terminals together. or on manrose fans, remove the timer PCB and move the 2 black wires to the terminal block instead
