DELIVERY SET

DESIGNATION KEY

TECHNICAL DATA

The unit is designed for indoor application with the ambient temperature ranging from +1 °C up to +40 °C and relative humidity up to 80 % at 25 °C.

The maximum permissible concentration of solids and dust in the handled air is 10 mg/m3.
The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance.

The unit design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.

Technical specifications of the particular model are indicated on the unit casing.

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The casing of the fan unit is made of galvanized steel. The fan unit is equipped with a removable bottom cover for easy installation and maintenance. It is attached with screws. Heat- and sound-insulation made of non-flammable material. The round connecting spigots are rubber sealed.

Inside the fan unit there are two mixed type duct fans with energy efficient motors. The fan motors have built-in controls. The low-noise motors with ball bearings with specially selected grease ensure maintenance-free operation of the fan.

When the unit is in operation, one of the fans is always running, with the second fan as a backup. Depending on the operation algorithm of the control automatics, the fans can be switched on alternately at different time intervals. This ensures uninterrupted ventilation: in case of failure of one fan, the second one automatically switches on. Switching modes is carried out using a controller, which is not included in the basic delivery set and must be ordered separately.

In order to prevent air backflow through a non-functioning fan, a swivel damper is installed inside the casing.

When one of the fans is switched on, the damper rotates due to the air flow from the fan and closes the duct of the inoperative fan. The main design elements of the fan unit are shown in the figure below.

1. swivel damper
2. duct fan
3. fan terminal boxes
4. mounting brackets;
5. removable service panel;
6. inlet and outlet spigots;
7. cable glands on the unit casing;
8. safety cables to prevent the service panel from falling.

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

BEFORE MOUNTING MAKE SURE THE CASING DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS (E.G. FOIL, PAPER).

WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

Duct fans are designed for use with round air ducts. The units are installed in the gap between the ducts. Installation is only possible in the horizontal position, taking into account the direction of air flow, which is indicated by an arrow on the casing.

Installation of DuoVent 150 EC, DuoVent 200 EC, and DuoVent 250 EC models is carried out at 4 points to the mounting brackets.

The DuoVent 315 EC, DuoVent 355 EC and DuoVent 400 EC models each have 6 mounting brackets (see the figure in the “Technical data” section).

It is recommended to use anchor threaded rods with nuts to fix the fan unit to the ceiling.

Fasteners for fan mounting are not included in the delivery set and should be ordered separately. While choosing fasteners consider the material of the mounting surface as well as the weigh of the fan unit, refer to the “Technical data” section.

Fasteners for unit mounting should be selected by the service technician.

The safety cables on the removable service panels can be moved to the opposite side of the casing for the convenience of service work, depending on the installation location of the fan unit.

Caution!

• To get the best performance of the unit and to minimize turbulence-induced air pressure losses, connect the straight air duct section to the spigots on both sides of the unit while installing. Minimum straight air duct length: equal to 1 air duct diameter on intake side and 3 air duct diameters on outlet side
• If the air ducts are too short or not connected, protect the unit parts from ingress of foreign objects. To prevent uncontrollable access to the fan the spigots may be covered with a protecting grille or other protecting device with mesh width not more than 12.5 mm.

CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS

DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS WITH THE UNIT. CONNECTION OF THE UNIT TO POWER MAINS IS ALLOWED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH A WORK PERMIT FOR THE ELECTRIC UNITS UP TO 1000 V AFTER CAREFUL READING OF THE PRESENT USER’S MANUAL.

THE RATED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE UNIT ARE GIVEN ON THE
MANUFACTURER’S LABEL.

ANY TAMPERING WITH THE INTERNAL CONNECTIONS IS PROHIBITED
AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

• The sound-insulated fan unit can only be used integrated in a ventilation system with automatic control.

• The unit is designed for connection to single-phase power mains with the parameters specified in the “Technical data” section.

• The connection must be made using durable, insulated and heat-resistant conductors (cables, wires). The actual wire cross section selection must be based on the maximum load current, maximum conductor temperature depending on the wire type, insulation, length and installation method.

• The external power input must be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker built into the stationary wiring to open the circuit in the event of overload or short-circuit. The position of the external circuit breaker must ensure free access for quick unit power-off.
  The trip current of the automatic circuit breaker must exceed the maximum current consumption of the unit (refer to the “Technical data” section). The recommended trip current of the circuit breaker is the next current in the standard trip current row following the maximum current of the connected unit. The circuit breaker is not included in the delivery set and can be ordered separately.

• Route the power and control cables for each motor through the cable glands on a convenient side of the casing. Route the cables inside the casing to the terminal boxes and secure them with cable ties.

• Connect the motor of each fan through the terminal block according to the electrical mains wiring diagram using a durable insulated cable. Terminal blocks for connecting the power cable and control cable with terminal markings are located inside the terminal box on the casing of each motor.

The figures below show the terminal boxes and wiring diagrams for the fans included in the fan units.

TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE

DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS!

MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER MAINS BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTION

PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE PUT UP A PROHIBITORY SIGN ON THE FAN STARTING PANEL: “DO NOT SWITCH ON! MEN AT WORK!”

AVOID LIQUID SPILLS ON THE MOTOR! DO NOT USE AGGRESSIVE SOLVENTS AND SHARP OBJECTS FOR CLEANING!

• Clean the product surfaces and the impeller of the fans inside the casing regularly (once in 6 months) from dust and dirt.
• Disconnect the fan from power mains prior to any maintenance operations.
• Open the service panel of the fan unit and remove dust from the surfaces of the fans and impeller blades.
• Use a soft brush, cloth, vacuum cleaner or compressed air for cleaning.
• Do not use water, aggressive solvents, or sharp objects as they may damage the impeller.
• It is forbidden to remove or change the location of the balancers on the impeller, as this can lead to increased level of vibration, noise and reduce the service life of the unit.
• During technical maintenance, make sure that there are no visible defects on the unit, the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the fan casing and the unit is securely mounted.
