• 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:

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

UNIT POSITIONING

The unit can be installed close to the wall with the pipes directly to the outside, or away from the wall with a minimum of ducting to get the pipes to the outside;

DUCTED INSTALLATION

For ducted installation, leave the dn250mm male fittings on the unit which will be used to connect the pipes to the outside;
A maximum of 8 metres of ducting is possible for ducted installation;

For non-ducted installation, the unit does not have ducting but is installed directly adjacent to the wall with direct holes to the outside;
In this case it is possible to leave the fittings if the centring of the holes outwards is very precise, or to remove them to bring the unit into contact with the wall;

TEMPLATE FOR CEILING HOLES

A template is provided for easy drilling of the holes for mounting the unit:

• Position the installation template on the ceiling
• Mark or drill directly according to the dowel, threaded rod used;
• Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the cover of the unit (from below).

Do not mount the unit with the sides in direct contact with walls to avoid possible contact noise;

TEMPLATE FOR WALL HOLES

A template is provided for easy drilling of the unit’s wall holes

• Position the wall installation template;
• Mark and drill two holes in the wall for outdoor air and indoor air outlet;
• Prepare the condensate discharge if it is conveyed directly to the outside with the air passage holes;
• Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the cover of the unit (from below).

Do not mount the unit with the sides in direct contact with walls to avoid possible contact noise;

PREPARATION FOR CEILING UNIT POSITIONING

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

• Remove the front discharge grille by pressing upwards on the 3 locking points of the grille to remove it;
  

• Remove the 4 screws of the two aesthetic sides under the grille;
  

• Pull the side towards the front of the unit to release the rear fixings;
  

• Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the cover of the unit (from below).

Do not mount the unit with the sides in direct contact with walls to avoid possible contact noise;

CEILING INSTALLATION

After preparing the fastenings with threaded rods or dowels, proceed as follows:

• Level the unit by tilting it 1-2° towards the condensate discharge on the left side by adjusting the height of the fixing on the brackets;
• Provide enough space to perform maintenance activities: it must be possible to open the cover of the unit (from  below).

Do not mount the unit with the sides in direct contact with walls to avoid possible contact noise;

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 condensate discharge to the hydraulic system or disposable drain to the outside. 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;
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 30-40mm).

On the machine, the drain is located on the left-hand side;
A Dn20 silicone tube is supplied inside the side panel, with a length of 80 mm to facilitate exit from the machine and connection to the condensate discharge system.

There are two options for exiting to the side, either to the rear or to the side;
Remove the part that is chosen for the condensate discharge and pass the pipe through that point.

ATTENTION
To horizontal sections for condensate discharge with direct installation to the outside;
If water stagnates and outside temperatures are below 0°, there is a danger of the discharge freezing and therefore possible internal water leakage;

AERAULIC CONNECTIONS

AERAULIC ORIENTATIONS

The unit is equipped with 2 circular male connections Ø 250mm for outdoor air and expulsion to the outside;
To correctly connect the air ducts, refer to the following diagram and stickers on the unit.
