The fan has it's own switch, outside the bathroom, that then passes (via a cable, obvs) through a three pole isolator and into the bathroom.
How is the 3 pole isolator wired, if you have only 2 cores at the fan?
You don't need one, as far as I'm aware, if you're using an independent switch.

The instructions suggest you leave the switched live terminal disconnected

I don't really want to link it to the lighting circuit, which at the moment is completely separate.
I can't see a reason why supplying live to both L and T with neutral to the N won't work?
