[QUOTE="mouk, post: 448757, member: 26603"] Hi I am looking to buy a mechanical extraction ventilation unit. I don't have it yet, otherwise I could have had a play with it and possibly worked some of this out for myself. But also want the answers before I buy! I;ve tried ringing technical support but at the moment not be able to speak to someone. The Xpelair Xplus 2 is what I want. [URL="https://www.xpelair.co.uk/product/92430AW/XPLUS_2_AC-Xplus-2-Multi-Point-Ventilation-Unit?s=/catalogue/domestic-and-light-commercial/mechanical-extract-ventilation/xplus-2/"]https://www.xpelair.co.uk/product/92430AW/XPLUS_2_AC-Xplus-2-Multi-Point-Ventilation-Unit?s=/catalogue/domestic-and-light-commercial/mechanical-extract-ventilation/xplus-2/[/URL] You can view the manual at this link (need to download it) [URL="http://www.filedropper.com/xplus2-ecinstructionmanual1"]http://www.filedropper.com/xplus2-ecinstructionmanual1[/URL] I am trying to work out whether I need to buy their own brand switch which costs £70 or whether I can use an off the shelf switch. I am quite happy to set the speed of the unit itself and not bother with a switch. But based on the manual - do I actually need a switch? If so where the diagram shows the switch setup with any switch do as long as it has enough buttons? They show a 3 position switch - which is the dial with 3 positions but could I make the same with say a 3 button light switch or something? [/QUOTE]
