DESIGN AND OPERATING LOGIC

• The unit casing is made of painted steel, internally filled with a layer of heat- and sound-insulating material.
• The unit casing incorporates a plate heat exchanger, a supply, and an extract fan.
• The front panel is installed on the rotating sleeves to enable quick access for the unit servicing.
• The casing bottom is equipped with a protecting service panel to enable service access to the automation unit.
• The G4 supply filter is installed between the fan and the heat exchanger to provide a supply of filtered air to the room. The G4 extract filter is installed in the upper part of the front panel.
• The temperature sensor downstream of the heat exchanger in the exhaust air duct provides the heat exchanger freezing protection. If the exhaust air temperature drops down below +3 ºC (+37.4 ºF) the heat exchanger freezing danger is registered. In this case, the supply fan is turned off and the unit operates in the extract mode only. After the heat exchanger is warmed up and the freezing danger is no longer imminent the unit reverts to the standard operation mode.

Unit operation logic.
Warm stale extract air from the room flows through the air ducts to the unit, is purified in the extract filter, then it is moved to the heat exchanger and exhausted outside by the extract fan. Clean cold air from outside is moved by supply fans to the unit where it is purified through the supply filter. Then clean air flows through the heat exchanger and is supplied to the room.
Heat energy contained in the warm extract air is transferred to the fresh intake inside of the heat exchanger. Heat recovery minimizes heat energy losses and operating heating costs. 

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

The unit mounting is carried out with the master plate from the delivery set and two air ducts of the required length or any of the mounting kits, MK1 Micra 60 or MK2 Micra 60  (special accessories).
The mounting set MK1 Micra 60 is specially designed for mounting the unit at the general construction stage. It includes two plastic air ducts, 500 mm (19 11/16”) long and two master plates for marking holes on the inner and outer wall sides.
The mounting set MK2 Micra 60 is specially designed for mounting the unit in a ready-built premise. It includes two plastic air ducts, 500 mm (19 11/16”) long, a master plate for marking holes and an outer ventilation hood NB Micra 60 that prevents ingress of foreign objects inside the unit. If the building’s wall thickness is above 500 mm (19  11/16”) prepare two extra Ø 125 mm (Ø 5”) air ducts of the required length.

UNIT MOUNTING

The unit is mounted as follows:

1. Fix the master plate from the delivery set on the wall with sealing tape on the required level.
   

2. Use a master plate to mark two Ø 130 mm (5 1/8”) holes for the air ducts and two Ø 8 mm (5/16”) holes for the dowels.

3. Remove the master plate and drill through holes for the air ducts and the 60 mm (2 3/8”) deep holes for the dowels. Drill the holes for the air ducts sloped down by 2-3°. Then insert the dowels (included in the delivery set) into respective holes.
   

4. Re-install the master plate with sealing tape back. Fix the master plate from the MK1 Micra 60 or MK2 Micra 60 mounting kit on the outer wall side to align the air ducts with respect to each other. Fix the master plate from the mounting kit somewhat lower to ensure the minimum required slope of 3°. Before mounting the master plate press the perforated holes to remove the master plate fragments and prepare holes for the air ducts.

5. Insert the air ducts inside the holes in the master plate designed for the air ducts and seal those with a mounting foam through the holes in the master plate. Install the air ducts sloped down by 2-3° to ensure condensate drainage from the unit.

6. After the mounting foam gets hard (see the solidification time in the product specification) remove the master plate and cut off the protruding parts of the air ducts to be flush with the inner wall. On the outer wall side, the air ducts must protrude for 10 mm (3/8’’) to prevent condensate from dropping on the wall.

7. Unit installation sequence:
   Open the front panel and remove the heat exchanger.
   Connect the unit spigots to the plastic air ducts.
   Fix the unit to the wall with the screws 5,0×50 from the delivery set by inserting those into the Ø8 mm (5/16”) holes.
   Install the heat exchanger and close the front panel.
   Install the NB Micra 60 outer ventilation hood on the outer side of the building to prevent the ingress of large foreign objects into the air ducts.
   Attention! The round plastic air ducts and the outer ventilation hood are not included in the delivery set and are available on separate orders. You may use other ventilation grilles and hoods of the matching size.
