  • Incorrect use
  • Operation or handling by untrained individuals
  • Unauthorized modifications

The actual scope of delivery may differ from the information in this manual for special constructions, additional order options or as a result of recent technical changes.

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment must be worn for any work in order to reduce health or safety hazards to the minimum.

The appropriate protective equipment for a job must be worn for as long as the job takes.

Industrial safety helmet

Industrial safety helmets protect the head from falling objects, suspended loads, and the effects of striking the head against stationary objects.

Protective gloves

Protective gloves protect hands from friction, abrasions, punctures, deep cuts, and direct contact with hot surfaces.

Screw connection (flexible hoses or screw connection)

  • Ensure that the surfaces are clean
  • Insert seal and tighten screw connection by hand.

There is a risk of damage to the heat exchanger if it is not installed correctly!

Connecting heat exchanger

Always use a suitable tool to counter the tightening force in order to prevent any damage.

Soldered joint

Clean the pipe ends and make a proficient solder joint.

Filling the heat exchanger

NOTICE!
Subzero temperatures will damage the heat exchanger!
Only fill the heat exchanger if there is no danger of freezing.

Fill the heat exchanger and vent it. To fill the system, use clean tap water (pH value 6.5 to 9) or a water glycol mixture (max. 30% glycol).

Check the system for leaks immediately after installation and then at regular intervals.

Connecting the ductwork

Active chilled beams are fitted with a primary air (fresh air) spigot.

Commissioning

Spigots are suitable for circular ducts according to EN 1506 or EN 13180.

Commissioning

Before you start commissioning:

  • Check active chilled beams for correct position
  • Remove protective films, if any
  • Ensure that all connections are correct
  • Ensure that all active chilled beams are clean and free from residues and foreign matter
  • Ensure that the water system including the heat exchanger has been filled and vented.

Adjusting the air control blades

The air discharge pattern can be changed by adjusting the optional air control blades in 15° increments up to 45° to the left or right.

Fig. 8: Changing the air discharge pattern

Adjusting the air control blades 

Three air distribution patterns can be set.

NOTICE!
Incorrect handling will damage the air control blades!
To avoid any damage, always use both hands to adjust the air control blades.

Adjusting the nozzles

The DID614 is fitted with adjustable twin nozzles that allow for adapting the airflow velocity to changed operating conditions at a later stage, if required.

CAUTION

Hot surfaces!

Danger of burn injuries when working on the hot water system.

Before working on the water-side connections, shut down the system and let it cool down.

Fig. 10: Opening the induced air grille

Opening the induced air grille 

  1. To open the induced air grille (Fig. 10/1), pull it down. To completely remove the grille, unhook the safety cables (Fig. 10/2) by pulling them down with the retaining plates (Fig. 10/3).

  2. Loosen the Allen screws (SW4) (Fig. 11/4) of the flat adjustment bar (Fig. 11/1).

  3. Slide the flat adjustment bar back or forth to open or close the nozzles as required:

    • small nozzle open (Fig. 11/2) (DS)
    • large nozzle open (Fig. 11/3) (DB)
    • both nozzles open (DA, factory setting)
  4. Manually tighten the Allen screws of the flat adjustment bar.

  5. Fix the induced air grille.

Cleaning

Cleaning the casing

The casing may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Sticky dirt or contamination may be removed with a commercial, non-aggressive cleaning agent. Cleaning agents that contain chlorine must not be used.

Cleaning the heat exchanger

Personnel:

  • Trained personnel

Protective equipment:

  • Industrial safety helmet
  • Safety shoes
  • Protective gloves
  1.  Remove the induced air grille,

  2. Carefully clean the heat exchanger with an industrial vacuum cleaner. Be careful to not damage any blades. We recommend using a soft brush with the suction inlet for cleaning.

  3. After cleaning, reattach the safety cables, and screw-fix and close the grille.

CAUTION!

Danger of head injuries from the fall of the induced air grille!

Check that the induced air grille and safety cables are securely fixed!
