LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

  • The unit is designed to be installed in boiler rooms, laun- dry rooms, stores or other suitable areas. Positioning must accord with individual countries’ electrical safety legislation. Check which rules apply in your country.
  • The unit should be placed regarding to sound (see sound data), If the unit is placed in a room that does not have sound requirements, then it shall be built up so that the sound pressure does not exceed the require- ment in the adjoining room.
  • The unit should be placed by a wall that has no room on the other side that is sensitive to noise. The wall should be soundproofed with, for example, rock wool, to reduce the transfer of sound. Double plasterboard in the wall, cut off studs and cut off plasterboard is recommended (see Fig.  1).
  • If the unit is placed in spaces with high humidity (ba- throom etc), condensation might occur on the surface of the unit when outdoor temperatures are very low. The base should be stable and level.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(4\)

SPACE REQUIRED
The unit must be installed with space for servicing and maintenance such as filter replacement and cleaning of fans and rotary wheel-type heat exchanger (see Fig. 2). The control cable with plug for automatic operation on top of the unit must be easily accessible. These are minimum requirements and only take service needs into account. Positioning must accord with individual countries’ electrical safety legislation. Check which rules apply in your country.

DUCT LOCATIONS
The unit is available in left and right versions (exhaust air duct to the left or right), depending on what is the most favourable duct location. The duct connections for outdoor air can be moved to the bottom of the unit if desired, by exchanging the ducts and covers. See “Chap. 4. Duct Connection” on page 12 and “Chap. Duct location” on page 23 for information about moving ducts, as well as duct placement in the bottom and top of left and right models respectively.
Alternative wall mounting methods:

  1. Horizontal installation (Fig. 3)
  2. Sideways installation (Fig. 4)FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(7\)

The attached wall bracket, as well as the enclosed bracket, are used for wall mounting. The same moun- ting is used whether the unit is installed with ducts up or out to the side (see Fig. 5). As standard, the unit has the mounting bracket mounted on the top. In case of sideways mounting, the rear wall of the unit must be dismounted, and then remounted after the mounting bracket has been moved (se Fig. 5 and “Chap. 2.3. Loft installation” on page 6).

  • The wall bracket (Fig. 6) is screwed to the wall using the enclosed screws.
  • The unit is suspended from the rail (Fig. 7). Hold the unit at an angle when hooking it onto the wall. The upper edge of the wall bracket should be mounted 65 mm higher than the top of the unit. If one desires, for example, that the top of the unit shall be 400 mm under the ceiling, the wall bracket should be mounted 335 mm from the ceiling, measured from the ceiling and down to the upper edge of the wall bracket. In the case of sideways wall mounting, the rear wall must be detached before moving the brackets (see Fig. 5).
    • CAUTION! Due to the size and weight of the unit, two persons must take part in the wall mounting of the unit.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(9\)
  • NB! When the unit is hung sideways the door must be secured with two end studs and a strap
  • The end studs are screwed on with the enclosed screws when the door is closed (see Fig. 8 and 9). The strap is attached to the inside of the door and the inside of the unit (see Fig. 10). There are attachment points both in the left and right ends of the unit. Use the attachment points that are uppermost when the unit is hung on the wall. This will prevent the strap from cat- ching in the door when it is closed.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(10\)FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(11\)

Floor mounting

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

  • The unit is designed to be installed in boiler rooms, laundry rooms, stores or other suitable areas. Positioning must accord with individual countries’ electrical safety legislation.
  • Check which rules apply in your country.
  • When installing on the floor (for both vertical and horizontal units), for the sake of noise and vibrations, absorption feet should be used (see Fig. 11). Flexit offer absorption feet as accessories (art.no. 110955).
  • The unit should be placed so that there is no danger of bothersome noise in nearby rooms. It is especially important that the unit is not placed directly over bedrooms.
  • If the unit is placed in spaces with high humidity (bathroom etc), condensation might occur on the surface of the unit when outdoor temperatures are very low. The base should be stable and level.

SPACE REQUIRED

  • The unit must be installed with suitable space for servicing and maintenance such as filter replacement and cleaning of fans and recovery system (see Fig. 12).
  • Control cable with plug for automatic control must be easily accessible.
  • These are minimum requirements and only take service needs into account.

INSTALLATION

  • The unit is available in left and right versions (exhaust air duct to the left or right), depending on what is the most favourable duct location.
  • The duct connections for outdoor air can be moved to the bottom of the unit if desired, by exchanging the ducts and covers. See “Chap. 4. Duct Connection” on page 12 and “Chap.
  • Duct location” on page 23 for information about moving ducts, as well as duct placement in the bottom and top of left and right models respectively.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(12\)
  • NB! The door of the unit is too heavy to hold itself closed when the unit is on the floor.
  • It must therefore be secured with two end studs and a strap.
  • The end studs are screwed on with the enclosed screws when the door is closed (see Fig. 13 and 14).
  • The strap is attached to the inside of the door and the inside of the unit (see Fig. 15). This can be attached to either the left or right side.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(13\)

Duct Connection
DUCT CONNECTION IN THE BASE
The duct connections for outdoor air can be moved to the bottom of the unit if desired, by exchanging the ducts and covers. To loosen the insulation and ducts, do the following (see Fig. 16):

  1. Turn the duct insulation (polystyrene) a quarter turn so that the marks in the insulation and in the top of the unit are directly over each other, and then lift up the insulation.
  2. Unscrew the fastening screws which sit in the plastic duct.
  3. Screw off the plastic duct. When installing the ducts, follow the same procedure in reverse order. Install the sealing ends in the bottom of the ducts which will be used.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

  • See Fig. 17.
  • Ensure that the ducts arrive at the right duct – see the markings on the unit (top and behind the door), as well as “Chap. 11.5. Duct location” on page 23
  • Pull the duct insulation well up to the unit.
  • To avoid the formation of condensation, it is particularly important for the outdoor and exhaust air ducts to have insulation and a plastic sleeve pul- led right down to the unit. Seal the plastic sleeve to the unit with ties.
  • All ducts that pass through a cold zone must be insulated.
  • The ducts normally require min. 50 mm insulation with an insulation capacity equivalent to ^ = 0.035W/m.°C or better.
  • The planner is responsible for ensuring that the necessary correct insulation and steamtight sleeve are used in relation to the location/temperature requirements.
  • Lay the outdoor air duct with a slight incline towards the outdoor air cap so that any water that enters drains out again.
  • The ducts should be soundproofed properly, especi- ally above the ventilation unit.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(15\) FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(16\)

This shall be placed in the supply air duct (red on Flexit drawing/Symbol use page 3) approx. 1 m from the water battery. Roll out the marked coil of cable on the unit near the supply air duct. Drill a © 7 mm hole in the duct where the sensor can be inserted. Tighten the hole with acrylic sealant and tape the cable in place on the outside of the duct so that it stays in place. See wiring diagram enclosed with the unit.

FROST SENSOR FOR WATER BATTERY (B5) (IF THE THE UNIT HAS A WATER BATTERY)
To avoid frost in the battery a water battery sensor (B5) must be installed in the water battery pipe where the cold water leaves the battery. See wiring diagram enclosed with the unit.

OUTDOOR AIR DAMPER (IF THE UNIT HAS A WATER BATTERY)
To avoid frost damage to the water battery during downtime/loss of power, a closing air damper must be installed on the outdoor air duct. The damper motor must have a spring so that it closes when power is stopped.

Plumbing work

If the unit shall have heating with water battery. All plumbing work must be performed by an authorised plumber. Place the unit close to a gully to avoid damage caused by any water leaks.

Encasing

NB! For service reasons the casing must have an opening or a removable front.
NB! To prevent transferring noise and vibra- tions from air handling unit, the cover should not be in direct contact with the unit.

PREPARATIONS
The placement of the cover is naturally affected by the placement of the unit. Therefore plan the placement of both the unit and the cover prior to installation. The radiated noise from the unit specified in the sound data does not include possible noise from ducting. The cover should therefore be soundproofed too.

Fit the control panel over the hooks in the back piece as shown by arrow no. 1 and then click the panel into place at the bottom edge as shown by arrow no. 2 (see Fig. 32).

Adjusting the unit

ADJUSTMENT WITH CI60
The unit’s air supply MUST be adiusted before the unit is used for the first time. This should be done in accordance with the projection documents. Adiust the values based on the projected values.
Adjustment
Adjustments only apply to level 2 (NORMAL). Stages 1 and 3 have fixed settings, while stage 2 has to be adjusted as required in the individual home.
The function of the different stages:

MIN| Must not be used when the home is in use. Must not be used in the first two heating seasons.
---|---
NORMAL| Used under normal conditions. On this setting the air supply must be adjusted according to current regulations.
MAX| Used if there is a need for increased air supply on account of higher occupancy or a raised humidity level, for example during sho- wering or when clothes are being dried. This setting is normally used for limited periods.

The ventilation unit’s air supply is adjusted in speed level NORMAL using the knobs on the back of the cover. Knob 9 is used for supply air level and knob 8 for extract air level (see Fig. 26). The adjustment range is 20-100% of the maximum level according to the scale on the knob.
Factory settings for supply air/extract air:

MIN 50% (fixed)
NORMAL 75% (variable)
MAX 100% (fixed)

Adjusting the temperature

  • The temperature required for the supply air can be set with knob 11. The adjustment range is 10 – 30°C.
  • It should normally be set to around 18°C. Use of the factory setting is recommended.
  • If necessary, the ventilation unit’s additional heating can also be switched ON/OFF with switch 10. In this case only the rotating heat exchanger is used as a source of heat.
  • It is best to leave it in ON position, as the unit will then respond automatically when there is a need for addi- tional heating.FLEXIT-UNI-4-Air-Handling-Unit-and-Automatic-Control-FIG-1 \(24\)

ADJUSTMENT WITH CI600
The unit’s air supply MUST be adjusted before the unit is used for the first time. This should be done in accordance with the projection documents. Adiust the values based on the projected values.
Adjustment
Adjustments only apply to level 2 (NORMAL). Note that it is also possible to adjusted stages 1 and 3 with a CI600 control panel. This should only be done if a special need arises, however. This is because it is extremely important to have adequate air flow rates.
The function of the different stages:

MIN| Must not be used when the home is in use. Must not be used in the first two heating seasons.
---|---
NORMAL| Used under normal conditions. On this setting the air supply must be adjusted according to current regulations.
MAX| Used if there is a need for increased air supply on account of higher occupancy or a raised humidity level, for example during showering or when clothes are being dried. This setting is normally used for limited periods.

First go to the “Advanced user” menu, enter the PIN and press OK:

Then go to the “Fan control” menu. The fans are selected and configured in this menu screen. Then go to adjust- ment of the extract air fan and supply air fan.

This dialog is identical for the supply air and extract air fans. The fans are adjusted individually to the desired capacity for the respective speed.

Factory settings for supply air/extract air:

MIN 50% (variable)
NORMAL 75% (variable)
MAX 100% (variable)

TEMPERATURE REGULATION
In this menu screen (located under “Advanced user”) you configure the temperature regulation and cooling func- tions.

If supply air regulation is selected, no further settings can be set here. If extract air regulation is selected, the max. and min. supply air temperatures can also be specified.

Installing a kitchen fan

  • INSTALLATION OF EXTERNAL KITCHEN FAN
    If an external kitchen fan is going to be used, documentation regarding installation and adjustment of air flow rates is supplied with the fans.

  • Kitchen fan without motor (connected to unit with duct connection)
    The ventilation unit has a separate connection point for kitchen fans without a motor. An electric cable (low-voltage) must be connected between the unit and the fan in order to force the air flow in the hood via the switch on the hood.

  • Kitchen fan with motor (not connected to unit)
    The kitchen fan with motor is not connected to the unit. It has a completely separate duct system for air evacuation. With the kitchen fan it is possible to compensate for the amount of air drawn out of the house. See “10.2.2. Kitchen fan with motor” for more information.

  • ADIUSTING THE KITCHEN FAN
    If the kitchen fan is not supplied by Flexit, the fan supplier must plan air flow rates for extract air in the hood, and arrange for supply air to the hood.

  • Kitchen fan without motor (connected to unit)
    The air flow rate over the hood is regulated according to the planned air flow rate. In order to achieve 75% odour absorption above Flexit kitchen units, an air flow rate of 150-180 m3/h is required. Any air flow rate higher than this must be supplemented by an additional air supply from a wall vent, for example.

  • Kitchen fan with motor (not connected to unit)
    If a kitchen fan with a motor is used, the volume of air extracted from the building increases. The ventilation unit can be adjusted to provide more supply air than extract air to compensate for this.

  • A signal to the unit is required when the kitchen hood is used:

  1. external switch with OFF/ON signal is to be connected to 3-core cable on unit (SP4-GO, see the circuit diagram).
  2. Install the pressure relay (accessory). It works like this:

The supply air fan will be increased to the MAX-stage, while the extract air fan will continue at the MIN-stage in order to compensate for the volume of air the cooker hood evacuates from the building. This is important to balance the ventilation in the building. Check the kitchen fan’s maximum air capacity (using the enclosed capacity diagram) against the maximum capacity of the air supply fan. If the kitchen fan has a higher capacity than the unit’s supply air fan, the unit will not manage to compensate for the loss of air, and sufficient supply air must be arranged in some other

Explanation of the diagrams
Sound data is specified as sound effect level LwA in the capacity dia- grams (this is sound to the duct). These values can be corrected using the table for the various octave bands if you want to look at Lw (wit- hout adaptation to A-band). The correction table for the respective octaves is specified in Lw, which means that, after conversion per octave for the respective supply air and extract air, you get these values in LW. Radiated sound from the unit must be calculated on the basis of the supply air diagram.
