Safety

Read and understand these instructions before beginning installation. The unit should be installed by a competent person.

Location

• Check there is space for the unit in your chosen location. The unit must not affect the operation of open-flue appliances. Consult local regulations or a qualified gas engineer.
• The open sides of the diffuser must face a minimum 1m unobstructed path away from any smoke detectors. If the diffuser cannot be repositioned, up to two sides can be closed using the plastic blanking plates. In this configuration the open sides must face a minimum 1.5m unobstructed
• path away from any smoke detectors. If using the 100mm diffusers, no blanking plates are supplied and the diffusers must be repositioned.
• In properties with a floor above 4.5m fire diffusers must be fitted a minimum of 1m away from the smoke detectors instead of the included plastic diffusers.
• Partition walls between buildings must be complete with any breaks filled.
• In properties with a floor more than 4.5m above ground level the unit must be wired into a smoke alarm (see page 14 for wiring information).
• The appliance is considered suitable for use in countries with a warm damp equable climate, but may also be used in other countries.

Wiring Regulations
All wiring must comply with Building Regulations and the current IET Wiring Regulations (BS7671 in the UK) or equivalent standards for other countries. The final installation should be examined and tested by a qualified electrician.

This product is not suitable for use with a Type AC RCD

Electrical Connection

The unit must be earthed and a suitable isolator with a minimum contact separation of 3.0mm must be used to provide insulation for the unit. The unit must be able to be disconnected from the mains supply after installation. When wiring the unit, the included unswitched fuse spur should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
The power supply cable running into the unit must remain the supplied flexible cable (not a solid core lighting cable). If the power supply cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by EnviroVent, an authorised service agent for your region/country, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Do not remove or tamper with any electronic components inside the product.

Users
The unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and usage instruction by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children.

Pre – Installation Checklist

• Does the unit fit through the loft hatch?
• Check there are no obstructions in the hallway or landing where the diffuser is to be fitted and in the loft space above.
• Ensure the loft has adequate cross-flow ventilation to provide a supply of fresh air to the unit.
• Check that all partition walls are intact. Seek building advice if any are missing or broken.
• Check for flued appliances drawing air from the loft, the user should be made aware of any of these.
• Check that any flue passing through the loft is undamaged. Seek building advice if any are damaged or broken.
• Repair any ceiling gaps which allow air leakage into the loft.
• Ensure any loft water storage tanks are covered and sealed.

About ATMOS and ATMOS Dual units
The ATMOS and ATMOS DUAL are Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units which create fresh and healthy living environments by supplying filtered air into a property at a continuous rate through ceiling mounted diffusers. The diffusers are normally installed in a hallway or landing area.
The units have been developed to improve indoor air quality and resolve condensation and mould problems. They are designed to operate continuously for 10 years with no requirement for maintenance other than replacement of the filter after 5 years and general cleaning.

In conditions between 19°C – 25°C the units will increase air flow rate by 10%. In hot conditions above 25°C the units will temporarily switch off to avoid bringing hot air into the property from the loft space. The ATMOS unit uses a single 200mm diffuser to provide air into a hallway or landing area.
The ATMOS DUAL unit uses two 100mm diffusers to provide airflow to separate locations within the building. It is normally required for applications where:

• The hallway is small.
• Limited heating is available.
• The loft hatch fills the hallway ceiling.
• Airflow is required in a remote area such as a bedroom.

Installation

1. Place a dust sheet below the required ceiling diffuser position and check the ceiling below and loft space above are unobstructed.

2. a) For ATMOS mark a 222mm diffuser hole using the template.
   b) For ATMOS DUAL mark two 105mm diffuser holes (see page 8 for positioning information).

3. Wearing a dust mask and eye protection, cut out the hole/s.

4. a) Screw the feet of the unit onto two 25mm x 50mm wood battens using the four 10g x 1.5” screws. (Battens not supplied).

   • b) Position the unit with anti-vibration pads and washers onto the loft ceiling joists as in the diagram.
   • c) Screw the battens to the ceiling joists using the four 10g x 3” screws.
   • . d) If the loft insulation sits above the joists and impedes the unit, create a raised wooden platform to mount onto.

5.  Insert the diffuser spigot into the ceiling hole so that the diffuser outlets face towards the walls then mark the four fixing holes.

6. Attach the duct to the spigot of the diffuser and seal the connection using the fixings supplied.

7. Insert the diffuser spigot into the hole then fix it in place.
   Use the four plasterboard plugs and four 8g x 1.5”.
   Then clip the diffuser cover into the diffuser spigot.

8. Attach the flexible duct to the spigot on the unit and ensure it is pulled taught. Seal the connection tightly using the fixings supplied. Cut the duct to length if required.

9. With the mains supply isolated, wire the power cable into the unswitched fuse spur then wire the unswitched fuse spur into the mains supply (see wiring diagram on page 5).
   Use two of the 8g x 1” screws to attach the spur to a loft joist.

10. App and Remote Control units can be connected to an AirSens intelligent IAQ sensor (not included). Wire into the connection located under the unit (see Page 5, cable not included).See AirSens instructions for wiring.

11.  Reconnect the mains supply at the local isolator. After a few seconds air will begin to flow from the diffuser (see pages 16/17 for air flow rate settings).

Fire Safety
Smoke Kits

For installations with a floor more than 4.5m above ground, a compatible smoke kit must be fitted. The kits listed below contain all the extra parts and instructions required:

Smoke Alarms
For installations with a floor more than 4.5m above ground, the unit must be wired into a smoke alarm in order to switch the unit off upon the detection of smoke.
The unit can be wired into an existing smoke alarm (check compatibility with the smoke alarm manufacturer). All wiring should be completed by a competent person.
To test the installation, press the TEST button on top of the smoke alarm and keep it pressed until the PIV unit switches off (LEDs on the board go out).
