DESIGN AND OPERATING

The ventilator consists of the telescopic air duct with adjustable length regulated by position of the inner air duct inside the outer air duct, the ventilation unit and the ventilation hood.
Two filters and the ceramic core are located inside the inner duct The filters are designed to purify supply air and prevent foreign object ingress to the heat exchanger and the
fan. The ceramic heat exchanger extract air heat energy to warm up or cool down supply airflow.
The heat exchanger is equipped with a pull cord inside to facilitate its withdrawal from the ventilator. The heat exchanger is installed on an insulation material used as a sealant as well. The ventilator must be installed on inner side of the wall. ‘ The ventilation hood must be installed on outer side of the wall to prevent ingress of water and other objects to the ventilator.

VENTILATOR OPERATING MODES
The ventilator has three ventilation modes: Fresh Air Mode the ventilator supplies fresh air Exhaust Mode the ventilator operates in exhaust mode Cycle Mode the ventilator operates in reversible mode with heat and humidity recovery
In cycle mode the ventilator operates in two cycles, 65 seconds each. Cycle I. Warm stale air is extracted from the room. As it flows through the heat exchanger, it heat and moisturizes the exchanger, transferring up to 90% . In 65 seconds as the ceramic exchanger gets warmed the ventilator is switched to supply mode. Cycle II. Fresh intake air from outside flows through the ceramic exchanger and absorbs moisture and heats up to the room temperature. In 65 seconds as the ceramic regenerator gets cooled down, the ventilator is switched into extract mode and the cycle is renewed.

MOUNTING AND SET-UP
**** READ THE USER’ S MANUAL PRIOR TO MOUNTING THE VENTILATOR

CAUTION! THE VENTILATOR MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN SITES WHERE THE AIR DUCT MAY BE CLOGGED BY THE BLINDS, CURTAINS, DRAPES, ETC, TO PREVENT THE ROOM DUST DEPOSITION AND ACCUMULATION. ALSO, CURTAINS MIGHT OBSTRUCT NORMAL AIRFLOW IN THE ROOM, THUS RENDERING VENTILATOR OPERATION NOT EFFICIENT.

VENTILATOR MOUNTING

1. Prepare a round hole through in the wall. The hole size is shown below. ****
2. Assembly inner duct and outer duct together to adapt to the thinkness of wall. Cutting the duct adapt to the thin wall. Paste wateproof sealing glue on the inner side of rubber ring, show as below image.
3. Through the wall hole from indoor, and pull back the duct to make the inner side rubber ring cling to the outside wall. Fill the gap between the wall and duct with foam glue(Using waterproof sealing glue for the gap close to indoor to against rainwater). The inner duct should parallel with indoor wall surface.
4. Paste the location sticker on the wall surface. Pay Attention to the direction to make sure the circle on location sticker and duct to be concentric. Marking the drilling hole site and remove the location sticker. Drilling 4*6mm hole on the marking place and put in the rubber plug(as pack accessories) VENTILATOR MOUNTING
5. Install the filter, the ceramic exchanger core, another filter and the air flow rectifier in consecutive order inside the telescopic air duct.
6. Install the ventilation unit on the mounting plate. The ventilation unit is fixed with magnets.

MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT THE VENTILATOR FROM POWER.
SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENCE OPERATION
Maintenance of the ventilator means regular cleaning of the ventilator surfaces of dust and cleaning or replacement of the filters.

1. Fan maintenance (once per year).
   Clean the impeller blades. To remove dust use a soft brush, doth or a vacuum cleaner. Do not use water, abrasive detergents, solvents, sharp objects. The impeller blades must be cleaned once in year.

2. Regenerator and filter maintenance (4 times per year). Remove the air flow rectifier. Remove the filter in front of the regenerator. Pull the exchanger cord to remove from the air duct Be careful while pulling the Excharger to avoid damage. Remove the filter after the exchanger

Clean the filter as often as it gets dirty, but at least 3-4 times a year. Clean the filters, let them get dry and install the dry filters inside the air duct Vacuum cleaning is allowed. The filter rated service life is 3 years. Contact the Seller for spare filters.

Even regular technical maintenance may not completely prevent dirt accumulation on the regenerator assemblies.
Subject the exchanger to regular cleaning to ensure high heat exchange efficiency.
Clean the exchanger with a vacuum cleaner at least once in a year.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Possible faults and troubleshooting

Make sure that the ventilator is properly connected to the Power mains and make any corrections, if necessary.
Motor is jammed, the impellers are clogged.| Turn the ventilator off. Troubleshoot the motor jam and the impeller dogging. Clean the blades. Restart the ventilator.
Automatic switch tripping following the ventilator turning on.| Overcurrent resulted from short circuit in the electric circuit.| Turn the ventilator off Contact the service center.
Low air flow.| Low set fan speed.| Set higher speed.
The filter, the fan or the exchanger are dirty.| Clean or replace the filter, clean the fan and the exchanger. For the exchanger and the filter maintenance, refer to page 15.
The ventilator generates sound signals.| The operating time meter for filter replacement is activated.| For the exchanger and the filter maintenance, refer to page 16.
High noise, vibration.| The impeller is soiled.| Clean the impeller.
Loose screw connection of the ventilator casing or the ventilation hood.| Tighten the screws of the ventilator or the outer ventilation
hood.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION RULES
Store the ventilator In the manufacturers original packing box in a dry Storage environment must not contain aggressive vapours and chemical mixtures provoking corrosion, insulation and sealing deformation. Use hoist machinery for handling and storage operations to prevent the ventilator damage in consequence of failing or excessive oscillation. Fulfil the handling requirements applicable for the applicable freight type. Transportation with any vehicle type is allowed provided that the ventilator is protected against mechanical and weather damage. Avoid any mechanical shocks and strokes during handling operations.
