Exhaust devices and air vents
The ALDs are installed in the supply air room, which forms a room compound with the extract air device.
Due to the negative pressure generated by the extract air device, the outside air flows in automatically. The fresh air outlets have a filter system to ensure minimum hygienic requirements and are equipped with wind protection as standard.
The air volume is regulated in the lower area of the inner panel.
There is a mechanism for changing the opening angle.

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 devices 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:

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

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 aV100 ALD must not be covered by cabinets or porches The outside air must be able to flow in freely.

• Maintain a minimum circumferential clearance of 250 mm.

• Installation should be performed close to the ceiling to obtain better air distribution.

• Install the wall opening above a radiator. This ensures that the inflowing air is pre-heated when entering the interior.

• Position the ventilation device in such a way that the air does not flow directly into the occupied zone of the users. Maintain a distance of 1 – 1.2 m to the common area.

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

• The velocity of inflowing air should be kept at the minimum required in order to avoid cold draughts.

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

• to the inner- and outer wall:

• between two ventilation devices (pair of devices) in a room:
