PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE

• The device should not be used for applications other than those specified in this manual.
• After removing the product from its packaging, verify its condition. In case of doubt, contact a qualified technician. Do not leave packaging within the reach of small children or people with disabilities.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands/feet.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Do not use the product in the presence of inflammable vapours, such as alcohol, insecticides, gasoline, etc.
• If any abnormalities in operation are detected, disconnect the device from the mains supply and contact a qualified technician immediately. Use original spare parts only for repairs.
• The electrical system to which the device is connected must comply with regulations.
• Before connecting the product to the power supply or the power outlet, ensure that:
  • the data plate (voltage and frequency) correspond to those of the electrical mains
  • the electrical power supply/socket is adequate for maximum device power. If not, contact a qualified technician.
• The device should not be used as an activator for water heaters, stoves, etc., nor should it discharge into hot air/fume vent ducts deriving from any type of combustion unit. It must expel air outside via its own special duct.
• Operating temperature: -20°C up to +50°C.
• The device is designed to extract clean air only, i.e. without grease, soot, chemical or corrosive agents, or flammable or explosive mixtures.
• Do not leave the device exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun, snow, etc.).
• Do not immerse the device or its parts in water or other liquids.
• Turn off the main switch whenever a malfunction is detected or when cleaning.
• For installation an omnipolar switch should be incorporated in the fixed wiring, in accordance with the wiring regulations, to provide a full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions (contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3mm).
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not obstruct the fan or exhaust grille to ensure optimum air passage.
• Ensure adequate air return/discharge into/from the room in compliance with existing regulations in order to ensure proper device operation.
• If the environment in which the product is installed also houses a fuel-operating device (water heater, methane stove etc., that is not a “sealed chamber” type), it is essential to ensure adequate air intake, to ensure good combustion and proper equipment operation.
• Install the product so that the impeller is not accessible from the air outlet side as verified by contact with the Test Finger (test probe “B” of the norm EN61032) in compliance with the current safety regulations.

INTRODUCTION

Quantum NEXT is a single alternate flow decentralized (single point) residential heat recovery unit, also called «push&pull» unit, designed to ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed environments without energy losses. It is recommended that two units are installed in a pair: when one unit is pulling, the other is pushing. The pair of units can be installed in the same room or in different rooms (i.e. living-room and bedroom). The unit is suitable for installation on an outside wall.

The unit should operate continuously, and only stopped for maintenance or service. When heat exchange is not useful (for example in mid-seasons when indoor and outdoor temperatures are similar), or when heat exchange is not recommended (for example with the option “summer free cooling”), it is recommended to set the unit in “extract-only” or “intake-only” mode and NOT to switch it off.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Design front cover (A) removable for cleaning without the use of tools.
• Inner ventilation unit (B) and wall support base (D) made of high quality, impact and UV-resistant ABS, colour RAL 9010.
• Integrated multi-colour led (C) to obtain a visual feedback of the unit status.
• Smart humidity control.
• Integral temperature sensor for the automatic management of the inversion time (comfort mode).
• Automatic anti-frost protection to prevent frost building up on the heat exchanger.
• Wall support base (D) provided with a magnet “coupling/uncoupling” system which allows the ventilation unit to be removed from its base during maintenance.
• Back-up touch button (J) at the side of the ventilation unit.
• Unique design winglet-type impeller, providing enhanced aerodynamic properties, low noise and increased efficiency.
• High efficient reversible EC motor with integral thermal protection, mounted on sealed for life high quality ball bearings. Designed for continuous reversible running.
• Telescopic pipe (F) adaptable to the wall thickness.
• Antimortar cap designed to be used also as template during the installation of the wall support base.
• Regenerative heat exchanger with ceramic core (G) with high thermal efficiency, equipped with washable anti-dust filters (H).
• External grille (I) made of high quality, impact and UV-resistant ABS, colour RAL 9010, with anti-insect net and water drip guard.
• Infra-red remote controller with touch technology, LCD display and wall base supplied as standard. Made from ABS, RAL 9010.
• The unit is double insulated: no earth connection is required.
• No need of condensation drainage system.
• IPX4 degree of protection.
• Power supply 220-240V~ 50Hz.

OPERATION

REMOTE CONTROLLER

• The unit is supplied with an infrared remote controller (K) as standard, as well as its support base (L) which can be wall mounted. A magnet keeps the controller attached to the base.
• The controller is equipped with an LCD display to visualise the setting to be transferred to the unit; anytime a touch button is pressed, the setting shown on the LCD display is transferred to the unit. The IR receiver is placed on the left side of the ventilation unit (E): it is recommended to point the controller towards the receiver when any setting needs to be transfered.
• One remote controller can control more units.
• To activate the remote controller it is necessary to insert two AAA type batteries (not supplied).

VENTILATION UNIT

• When switched on the unit emits a long acoustic signal.
• Through the IR controller the following functionalities can be activated/deactivated. When one setting is transferred to the unit, a short acoustic signal is emitted and a green led flashes.

FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION

Comfort

| Optimisation of the acoustic and thermal comfort. The inversion time varies automatically from 40÷120 seconds, thanks to the integral temperature sensor. The first time cycle is of 70 seconds, then it varies automatically according to the detected temperature conditions.| |

Smart humidity control
| When the humidity sensor detects a quick variation of the Relative Humidity level, the running speed automatically increases to the next higher speed. After 10 minutes from the last quick RH variation, the unit returns running at the selected speed. The smart humidity control is active if the airflow direction is set on alternate or extract only: if speed 5 has been selected, no speed increase happens. To disable this functionality, press the  button for 5 seconds: on the top side of the LCD display the symbol is shown.| | |

Antifrost
| This functionality prevents frost building up on the heat exchanger due to extremely cold air. When it is activated, the unit runs in extract only at speed 1, for 30 minutes.| | |

fixed red

|
Acoustic signal
| Any time a setting is transferred from the controller to the unit, a short acoustic signal is emitted. This can be deactivated by pressing the button for 7 seconds, after when a green led flashes to indicate that the acoustic signal is off. To reactivate the acoustic signal repeat the same operation for 7 seconds until the led becomes green and an acoustic signal is emitted.|

SYNCHRONISATION OF A NUMBER OF UNITS

It is possible to synchronized up to 10 units contemporaneously, through wire (2 pole twisted pair type, max 30m length) so to have mode and inversion time synchronized. When the unit is switched on for the first time, the rotation direction of each unit (clockwise or anti-clockwise) is automatically established. Other functionalities like speed, smart humidity control and boost, continue to be controlled independently on each single unit. Wiring diagram as per fig. 16B.
