OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTION
The Unit is delivered ready to connect to power and operates fully automatically. Stale air extracted from the interior transfers the thermal energy to the new air from the outside. In this way, energy is saved in air conditioning, since the new and clean air is blown into the house with a softened temperature (cool in summer, warm in winter). Depending on the type of control used, up to 5 ventilation positions can be selected. Constant volume regulation allows the air flow of the intake and exhaust fans to be obtained independently of the duct pressure.

4.2 SUMMER BY-PASS CONDITIONS
The Summer By-Pass allows to the fresh air from outside to be supplied without passing through the exchanger. Air is filtered and supplied into the dwelling without recovering any heat. The Summer By-Pass valve is automatically operated when a certain number of conditions are met (see table below about the ByPass values).

Summer By-Pass Conditions

Valve
Open By-Pass| • The outside temperature is above 10ºC.
• In summer, the outside temperature is 3ºC lower than the temperature of the air extracted from the house, and lower than the comfort temperature.
• In winter, the outside temperature is 3ºC higher than the temperature of the air extracted from the house, and higher than the comfort temperature.
---|---
Valve
Closed By-Pass| • The outside temperature is below 10ºC.
• In summer, the outside temperature is higher than the temperature of the air extracted from the house, and higher than the comfort temperature.
• In winter, the outside temperature is lower than the temperature of the air extracted from the house, and lower than the comfort temperature.

**** The equipment automatically detects the season (winter/summer) and it will work according to the selected by-pass temperature.

4.3 FROST PROTECTION
To prevent icing in the exchanger when there are very low temperatures outside, the Blauberg PASSIV+ 200 is equipped with frost protection.
The thermostatic sensors measure the temperatures in the exchanger and if necessary a progressive imbalance is established automatically. When the temperature reaches -2 degrees the unit would stop and check every hour if the temperature is suitable for re-start.

INSTALLATION

5.1 GENERAL
The installation must be carried out in accordance with:

  • UK Building Regulations Part L & F.
  • Current wiring regulations.
  • Competent Persons Scheme.
  • Safety provisions for low voltage installations.
  • Condensate connection to waste water drain.
  • Installation requirements of the Blauberg PASSIV+ 200 Unit.

5.2 POSITION OF THE UNIT
The Blauberg Passiv+200 can be fixed directly on the wall or ceiling using the fixing brackets included for this purpose.

Warning! Depending on the weight of the Unit, the installation of the Unit must always be carried out by 2 people.
To obtain a result without vibrations, the mounting surface of the wall or ceiling should have a minimum mass of 200kg/m2. It is not enough that the wall or ceiling is made of concrete or with metal structures. In these cases, additional measures such as reinforcement by double plate or additional supports will be necessary. The following points should be taken into account:

  • The Unit must be leveled, both in length and width.
  • The installation space must be chosen so that a good evacuation of condensates can be carried out, with a siphon and a slope for condensation water.

Warning! Ensure that the slope of evacuation of condensates is not positive, nor parallel to the Unit. Warning! The Unit is only designed for wall or ceiling mounting. Never install it directly on the ground.

  • The installation space must be protected from weather and ice.
  • Ensure that there is sufficient space around and under the Unit to ensure that filter change or cleaning and maintenance of the Unit can be performed correctly.

5.3 CEILING MOUNTING

  1. Use the installation template, located on the back of the box

  2. Mark the area where the fixing brackets will be placed with the help of the installation template.
    **** In case of not using the template, the fixing brackets must be left in parallel at 630mm distance on the long sides
    (standard version) and 1,035mm away on the short sides.
    The Unit comes by default, with the Silentblock hooks placed on the long side.
    To change it to the short side you must follow the following steps:
    2 .1 Unscrew the Silentblock hooks
    2.2 Change the Silentblock hooks to the short side, reattaching with screws.
    2.3 Screw the Silentblock hooks into the desired new position.
    3. Pierce the marked surface and screw the fixing brackets through the oval holes.
    4. Loosen the wing nuts and leave 1 cm of space
    5. Place on top of the guide and slide until it fits with the threaded rod.
    6. Tighten the wing nut

ORIENTATION OF DUCT CONNECTIONS

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION

The Blauberg PASSIV+ 200 must always be provided with a condensate drain. Condensation water must be drained from the unit. A 3/4″ male thread condensate drain connection (not included with the Unit) must be connected to a waste water drain.

Important! Always use a removable condensate drain between the siphon and the unit for proper maintenance.
The condensate drain pipe may be mounted underneath. The installer can adjust the condensate drain to the desired position. The drain should end at the water level of the siphon. Use a condensate drain pipe with a diameter of 32mm.

** Take particular care in the case of ceiling mounting, that the drain of condensates is below the level of the Blauberg PASSIV+ 200.
Attention!** Only one condensate drain is connected, the other drain must remain closed with the plug.

Attention!
In the case of ceiling installation: install the condensate siphon on the side of the ducts that connect to outside. The other drain should be sealed with the plug.
In the case of wall installation: install the condensate siphon in the lower drain position. The other drain should be sealed with the plug.

Dry ball siphon

More information through the QR or from here: Dry Ball Siphon

Attention! In order for the equipment warranty to remain in force, the installation of an original Blauberg dry siphon (Dry Ball Siphon) is necessary.
In the event that the drain of condensation is executed in another way, if there are any faults caused or related to the drain of condensation Blauberg excludes itself from any responsibility and it will be the responsibility of the installer or company that has carried out the installation to solve any problem and the costs derived from this problem.
