Preparing for installation

3.1 Installation Position
• The installation location can be derived from the positioning proposal of the ventilation planning.
The exact positioning of the individual units and control units must be checked by the customer and adjusted on-site if necessary. Consult the responsible planner about this!
For optimum function, it is recommended that the ventilation device is installed at an appropriate point in the upper wall area (e.g. 1.80 m UEFF [upper edge of finished floor]).

  • Do not place the ventilation unit above radiators, room thermostats, sensitive furniture, and/or pictures.
    Minimum distances of the wall opening for the ventilation device:
    NOTICE: Malfunction due to incorrect positioning of the ventilation device.

  • Note insulation thickness and possible shutters!

  • Do not install near radiators!

  • Observe a minimum distance of 1.2 m to adjacent air openings!

  • The aV160 ALD must not be covered by cabinets or porches

  • The outside air must be able to flow freely.

  • Keep a minimum distance of 250 mm all around.

  • Installation should be close to the ceiling (better air distribution).

  • Fit the wall opening above the radiators. This means that the incoming air is already preheated when it enters the interior.

  • Position the ventilation unit so that there is no direct airflow into the occupied zone of the users. Keep a distance of 1 – 1.2 m from the user area.

  • To ensure that the unit does not interfere with other ventilation and that its function is not disturbed by other ventilation operations, it must always be installed in its own wall sleeve.

  • The flow velocity should be low in order to avoid draughts.

Minimum distances to components/building elements on the internal and external walls:
