INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
The unit must be installed based on national and local regulations governing the use of electrical devices and based on the following indications:

• install the unit inside residential buildings with room temperature between 0°C and 45°C;
• avoid areas near sources of heat, steam, inflammable and/or explosive gases and particularly dusty areas;
• install the unit in a place that is not subject to frost (the condensation water must be discharged not frozen, at a certain slope, using a trap);
• do not install the unit in zones with a high relative humidity rate (such as bathroom or toilet) to avoid condensation on the external surface;
• choose a place of installation where there is enough room around the unit for the connections of the air ducts and to perform maintenance activities;
• the consistency of the ceiling/wall/floor where the unit will be installed must be suitable for the weight of the unit and not cause vibrations.

The room chosen for installation must have:

• air duct connections;
• 230V single-phase electrical connection
• connection for the condensation discharge.

The unit is an integral part of a balanced fan system that extracts contaminated air from the kitchen, bathroom or any other rooms and introduces the same volume of fresh air into the living and bed rooms. The gaps under the doors ensure good air flow circulation inside the home: make sure these gaps are never obstructed, for example with draught blockers or rugs, otherwise the system will not work optimally. When the system is running at the same time as a natural draught boiler (for example an open chimney) this may cause a vacuum in the room, which may cause exhaust gases to flow back into the room.

UNIT POSITIONING

CEILING INSTALLATION
To mount the unit on the ceiling, it is necessary to:

• Position the 2 mounting brackets on the perimeter sides of the unit where the air inlets are;
• Remove the 3 screws from the fitting side panel and place the bracket as shown here in the figure; put the screws back in to secure the bracket;
• Anchor the unit to the ceiling, by the brackets, using suitable anchoring systems (plugs, threaded bars, chains…) and use a level to make sure it is level.
• Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the cover of the unit (from below).
• Do not install the unit with the sides directly touching the walls to avoid possible noise from contact, insert rubber or neoprene strips in that case.

WALL-MOUNTING
To mount the unit on the wall, it is necessary to: Position one of the two supplied brackets on the back of the unit, positioning it as shown here in the figure; Remove the 3 screws from the top fitting side rear panel and place the bracket as shown here in the figure; Put the screws back in to secure the bracket;

Secure the second supplied bracket to the wall using suitable anchoring systems (plugs, threaded bars, …) and use a level to make sure it is level.

• Take out the screws from the two bottom corners of the rear panel and install the two brackets with adjustable feet; Put the bracket clamping screws back in;
• Position the unit, using an upwards movement to couple the two brackets, the one on the wall with the one installed on the back of the unit;
• Now adjust the bottom feet, to place the unit on the same level as the wall or with a slight slope towards the wall (1-2%) to facilitate vertical discharging;

Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the front cover of the unit; Do not install the unit with the sides directly touching the walls to avoid possible noise from contact, insert rubber or neoprene strips in that case.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE CONNECTION

Because of the heat recovery system (the exhaust air is cooled by the air supplied into the heat exchanger), the humidity contained in the internal air condenses inside the unit.

• For correct operation of the heat recovery unit, it is necessary to connect one condensation discharge to the home hydraulic system (discharge). Also, in order for the condensation water to correctly flow out and avoid air from being sucked in, the condensation discharge must always feature a special trap installed by the installer;
• There are 3 condensation discharges on the machine:
• 2 are for ceiling-mounting, 1 is for wall-mounting;
• Only 1 of the 3 discharges will be used, based on ceiling or wall mounting and based on where the air exhaust is positioned;

For installation of the condensation discharge, follow these rules:

• set up a slope of at least 2% to the discharge pipe;
• allow the possibility of disconnecting the discharge pipe for any maintenance (especially with ceiling installation);
• make sure that the discharge end of the pipe is at least below the level of the trap water;
• make sure that the trap is always full of water and at a sufficient height (at least 40-50mm)

Install the condensation discharge trap on the exhaust side of the unit to avoid unpleasant odours in the room air
