DESIGN AND OPERATION

• The ventilator consists of a telescopic air duct with adjustable length regulated by the position of the inner air duct inside the outer air duct, the ventilation unit, and the ventilation hood.
• F7 filter+prefilter and the ceramic energy regenerator are located inside the inner duct. The filters are designed to purify supply air and prevent foreign objects from ingressing into the regenerator and the fan.
• The ceramic energy regenerator extracts energy from exhaust air to warm up or cool down supply air.
• The regenerator is equipped with a pull cord inside to facilitate its withdrawal from the ventilator. The regenerator is installed on an insulated material which is also used as a sealant.
• The ventilator is able to be installed from the inner side of the wall.

Overview

INSTALLATION DRAWING

OPERATION MODES

Ventilation Mode – The ventilator runs in exhaust or supply mode at a set speed.
When synchronous operation of two connected ventilators occurs, one runs in the supply mode and the other in exhaust mode.

Regeneration Mode – The ventilator runs in two cycles of 75 seconds each, to provide heat and moisture regeneration.

Interval 1 – The warm polluted air is extracted from the room and goes through the ceramic regenerator, which gradually absorbs heat and moisture.
After 75 seconds the ventilator switches to air supply mode.

Interval 2 – The fresh and cold outdoor air goes through the heat regenerator and absorbs the accumulated moisture and heat after 75 seconds, and when the energy regenerator gets cold, the ventilator switches to the exhaust mode.

CAUTION!

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Read The User’s Manual Before Installing The Ventilator

To prevent room dust deposition and accumulation, the ventilator must not be installed in places where the air duct may be blocked by any blinds, curtains, drapes, etc. Window curtains might obstruct normal airflow in the room, making ventilator operation inefficient.

Installation

VENTILATOR INSTALLATION

1. Drill a 170 mm (6”-3/4) round hole in the wall.
The hole size is shown below.

Assemble the inner duct and outer duct together to adapt to the thickness of the wall, then take out the inner duct and put the outer duct into the wall hole.

After that, grasp the bracket to spin the outer duct forward and backward, left and right to make the air inlet/outlet correctly orients downward according to the indicator of the external ventilation hood.

(The outer duct cannot be longer than the wall thickness, and the extra parts can be removed. For installation of outer ducts with/without accessories, please refer to step 5).

2. Pull the mobile bracket into the outer duct back into place so that the silicone ring on the outside of the outer duct is tight against the outer wall.

Fill the space between the wall and the outer duct with the polyurethane glue provided in the kit before attaching the back cover mounting plate, and then wait for the glue to dry.

Then install the back cover mounting plate, align the round hole of the back cover of the mounting plate with the round hole on the wall, and measure the level of the mounting plate with a level ruler to ensure that the mounting plate installation is horizontal. Then mark the hole, punch in the expansion rubber grain, and align the mounting plate with the hole and secure it with a screw.

3. If there are no scenarios in the environment of the installation where rainwater can directly spill into the ERV, you can insert the accessory silicone seal from the accessory bag into the outer air duct, and then install the duct into the wall.

It can be sealed with the wall, whereby the duct plays the role of waterproofing.

In this case, it will be possible to proceed without carrying out Step 2, and there is no need to use polyurethane glue to seal the space between the wall and the duct.
(The silicone seal installation position is flexible, it simply needs to be inserted into the air outside the duct at a specific depth).

4. Install the main unit on the indoor surface wall. Connect the adapter wire from the back of the main unit to the wiring of the fan and temperature sensor exposed in the inner duct, and tidy the wiring. Then align and install the main unit with the protruding plastic and metal parts on the back cover plate (There are corresponding concave holes on the rear of the main unit).

The strong magnet equipped on the back of the main unit will automatically attract the wall mounting plate (After installation is complete, check if there is a large gap between the main unit and the mounting plate. If so, it means that the wires in the main unit are not placed properly. Please remove the main unit and reinstall it). Finally, turn the two small M3 screws (included in the kit) into the hole at the top of the main unit (shown in Figure 4), and the installation is complete.
