Mechanical Installation

• Caution, Risk of electric shock and burns. Personnel must use appropriate personal protective equipment to protect themselves from risk of electric shock and burns due to contact with heating elements and bare live parts. Always proceed with caution when handling and servicing the CMU by following the appropriate lock-out procedures to ensure safety.

• Caution, Risk of damage and malfunction. Do not block air flow to heating elements and ventilation slots, as insufficient air flow may damage heating elements and controls.

• The compact make-up air unit is designed to be installed for horizontal air flow only. Vertical installation is not recommended.

• The CMU is equipped with thermal cutouts both on top and bottom of the unit, which allow it to simply be rotated 180º to change the air flow direction without modifying the fan or wiring. The air flow direction from the fan itself is fixed and cannot be reversed. Before mounting the make-up air, determine the direction of air flow required and rotate the unit accordingly.

• The CMU is designed to preheat fresh air and not ambient air.

• For proper air flow, a minimum straight duct distance of 2x the collar size/duct diameter must be maintained upstream and downstream the CMU, between the unit and any obstacle, such as dampers, louvers and elbows.

• Use round insulated ducts for the inlet connection and uninsulated ducts for the outlet, while ensuring to minimize the use of elbows.

• When taking air directly from outside, install the inlet duct at an incline, in order to prevent condensation or melted snow from flowing into the unit.

• It is recommended to have a secondary damper before the inlet of the make-up air unit, in order to prevent a strong draft of wind from opening the damper in the unit. The secondary damper can be a gravity damper or a damper with an actuator.

• A louver with a bird protection grille must be installed on the air inlet.

Clearance

• Leave a minimum clearance of 24’’ (610mm) or equivalent to the length of the front access panel/door (see dimension E on page 3) + 1.5” (38mm) at the front of the unit, in order to provide sufficient space for accessing the electrical compartment and air filter, to ensure proper servicing.
• Other surfaces require zero clearance.

Insulation

• Insulation may be added around the main surfaces of the CMU for energy conservation and noise reduction. The collars and ductwork preceding and following the CMU may be insulated.
• Insulation must be rated for temperatures of minimum 250°F (121°C) and must not have an R-value greater than 8 (typical R- value for 2’’ [51mm] thick fiberglass insulation).

Warning: Do not apply insulation on the control box, front access panel, heat sinks and filter of the CMU.

Surfaces that can be insulated

|
Surfaces that cannot be insulated

Wall Mounting

• Prior to installation, ensure that the strength of the chosen wall and supports conform to the requirements of local codes and regulations. The use of metal strut channels is recommended when wall mounting the unit (by others).
• Mount the unit at a minimum height of 6.5ft (2m) above the floor level.
• Mount the CMU using at least 2 screws of minimum #10 (M5) size (by others) using the keyholes located in the back of the unit and ensure that the installation is secure.

Ceiling Installation

• The CMU can be hung by the ceiling using an appropriate support platform (by others). Consult local codes and regulations for minimum structural requirements for such platforms.
• The CMU must be attached to the platform by use of 4 self-drilling screws of #10 (M5) size fixed at the designated locations indicated by the dimples on the bottom of the unit, as per the image below.
• The screws must not be inserted into the CMU at a depth of more than ¾” (20mm).
• Ensure not to install the bottom of the unit’s front access panel directly onto the platform, as this will prevent it from opening.

Electrical Installation

• DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect all electrical supplies before working on any circuit.
• CAUTION: Risk of malfunction. Use only copper wires suitable for 221˚F (105˚C).
• CAUTION: Electric installation must be done by qualified electrician and must conform to local electrical code.
• CAUTION: If a disconnect switch has not been supplied with control panel of the unit, an external disconnect switch must be installed on the supply.
• CAUTION: Gauge of electric supply wires must be of appropriate section, function of line current, as per local electrical code.

Power Supply Wiring
See the name plate for information for voltage and current.

• Connect all wires to appropriate terminals as per the electrical diagram affixed inside the control panel door.
• Correct connection and proper tightening must be verified before start-up, and after a short period of operation (typically after 2 weeks).

To quickly calculate the amperage, use the following formulas

• Single phase: Amperage = Watts / Voltage.
  • ex.: 10 kW at 240V/1 is equal to: 10,000 / 240 = 41.7A
• Three phases: Amperage = Watts / (1.732 x Voltage).
  • ex.: 20 kW at 600V/3 is equal to: 20,000 / (1.732 x 600) = 19.2A

• If the IMC10 Room Control Switch is not used, place a jumper between pins 1 & 2.

Temperature and Air Flow Adjustment

• After installing and wiring the system, use the potentiometers on the PCB to adjust the desired temperature setpoint (P2) and the fan speed control (P1) to adjust the air volume. The fan speed must be adjusted based on the application to compensate for the specific static pressure of the installation.
• For models with the optional add-on board with thermostat connection, the setpoint for air flow and temperature from the thermostat will override the physical setting of the potentiometers on the PCB.

Potentiometer P1 = Fan Speed Control

AC Fan Speed Settings| ECM Fan Speed Settings
Potentiometer P2 = Temperature Setpoint

• A minimum temperature of 12°C (53.6°F) will be maintained, even if the setpoint on the potentiometer is set to a lower value.

Operational Conditions

Air Flow

• Air flow must not be lower than the minimum air flow indicated on name plate.
• Air flow going through the unit must be free of combustible particles, flammable vapour or gas.
• Open Coil: Air flow going through the unit must be free of dust.

Temperature Control

• For optimal and accurate measurement, it is recommended to use a duct sensor, especially in worst case scenarios in which the CMU is operating at its lowest speed with a high static pressure, for example, at a 75% speed with a static pressure of 0.2” WC (50 Pa) for AC axial fans.

Zero Clearance Construction

• Neptronic compact make-up air units are designed and approved for zero clearance to combustible material. Insulation material may be installed directly onto the CMU surfaces or onto air duct. However, the control panel must be accessible for maintenance.

Warning: Risk of fire and/or malfunction, Do not install insulation directly on heating elements.

Maintenance

Neptronic make-up air units do not require specific maintenance; however, we recommend a yearly inspection, typically before the winter season or after a long term shut down.

Visual Inspection

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect all supplies before any visual inspection.

• Verify condition of heating elements.
• Heating element must be clean and free of dust or lint.
• Open Coil: Carefully verify that there is no dust accumulation. Any dust of lint accumulation can lead to fire hazard.
• Verify any indication of overheating conditions (discoloration) as well as any trace of oxidation (rust).

Electrical Inspection

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect all supplies before any electrical inspection.

• Verify that electrical connections are correct and properly tightened.
• Verify the condition of fuses.
• Verify resistance of each circuit against ground.
• Verify correct operation of contactor(s).
• If necessary, electrical components must be replaced only with identical origin components.

Filter Maintenance

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect all supplies before removing and inspecting the filter.

• CMU is equipped with a filter that must be washed at regular intervals.
• Check the filter after two months of operation.
• To take out the filter, remove the access cover by disconnecting the two screws.
• If the filter is extremely dirty, increase the frequency of inspections.
• Ensure that the filter is dry before replacing it.

Warning: the CMU must always have a filter installed at this location even if an auxiliary filter is used.
