Safety

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

Electrical Connection

The unit requires a continuous electrical power supply. Connection to the fixed wiring must be made outside the unit in a suitable location. The unit must be able to be disconnected from the main supply after installation. The unit must be earthed and a double pole switch having a minimum contact separation of 3.0mm must be used to provide isolation for the unit.
The power cable running into the unit must remain the supplied flexible cable (not a solid core lighting cable]. If the power cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by EnviroVent, an authorized 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 unit.
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.

Location

Check there is space for the unit in your chosen location including room for access and future servicing of the unit. The unit must not affect the operation of open-flue appliances. Consider the external vent locations in relation to open flues from appliances e.g. boilers. You must ensure the external supply grilles are positioned away from open flues to avoid drawing harmful gases into the property. Consult your local regulations or a qualified gas engineer.

Users

This 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.

WIRING

The local isolator must be connected to the mains as part of the fixed wiring. Connect the cores of the power cable to the matching terminals on the local isolator (3A fuse spur or similar). The black switch live core of the mains cable can be wired to a switch input such as a light switch. When the switch is turned on, the boost function is engaged. When the switch is turned off, the unit will return to normal running mode. In this configuration, a triple pole isolator must be used.

About the energiSava® 200

• The energiSava® 200 is an MVHR unit (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery). It is ideal for small to medium sized properties with a kitchen and up to 5 additional wet rooms.
• The unit is capable of delivering a maximum airflow of 245m3/h (68l/s) and a maximum system pressure in excess of 500Pa.
• The unit will help to create a fresh and healthy living environment by supplying filtered air into a property through supply valves. Moist, stale air is removed from the property through extract valves.
• The heat exchanger inside the unit transfers wastes heat energy from the extracted air to the supplied air in order to improve the thermal efficiency of the property and reduce heating costs.
• The frost protection feature automatically uses the warm extracted air to ensure the heat exchanger inside the unit does not freeze when outdoor temperatures are below 5ºC.
• The Intellitrac® humidity tracking function monitors the humidity levels in the extracted air and will automatically increase the supply and extract air flow rates when the humidity levels rise. Once the humidity levels are lower the air flow rates will return to the normal rate.
• The mechanical summer bypass feature automatically diverts some of the supplied air around the heat exchanger at temperatures above 25ºC to avoid the property overheating when the outdoor air temperature is high.
• The energiSava® 200 includes a switch live function. When wired through the lighting switch of a room (such as a bathroom) the unit will enter boost mode whenever the light is turned on.

Pre – Installation Checklist

• Does the unit fit in the space where it will be installed?
• Is there room to connect ducts to the spigots without tight duct bends?
• Is there room to access and replace the filters after installation?
• Are there any obstructions above or below the locations where the input and extract valves are to be fitted?
• Is the mounting surface strong enough to support the unit?
• Is the mounting surface level?
• Are there adequate facilities to connect the unit condensate drain to the internal waste system of the property?

Installation

1. Hold the unit up to the chosen location and check there is space for ducts, condensate drainage, filter, and keypad access.
2. Once you are satisfied with the position, line up the two brackets using the printed template then secure them to the mounting surface. Use 5 8gx2.0” screws and 10 plasterboard plugs.
3. Mount the unit onto the brackets ensuring that it is fully supported.
4. Apply the two wing nuts onto the threaded studs then insert the self-tapping screw into the hole and tighten it. This will ensure the unit cannot be accidentally knocked off the brackets.
5. Fit the external supply and extract terminations.
6. Fit the supply and extract valves inside the property.
7. Fit the ductwork between the external terminations, the MVHR unit, and the supply and extract valves.
8. Connect each duct path to the spigot.
9. Make a water-tight connection between the two drainage connectors on the unit and the wastewater system in the property. A suitable non-return device must be fitted to ensure air and waste water from the drain system do not flow back up into the unit. The drainage must be fitted with a minimum 5-degree fall away from the unit.
10. With the mains supply isolated, wire the unit to the local isolator as per the wiring diagram on page 3 and in accordance with the local wiring regulations. When the power is turned on, air will begin flowing into the property after a few seconds.

Commissioning

All maintenance and building works should be completed before commissioning this MVHR unit. This will avoid any other major disturbance to the installation or high volumes of dust or debris being drawn into the system. Do not commission the MVHR unit until it is fully installed including power, ductwork, internal valves, and external vents.
MVHR systems must be commissioned in accordance with Approved Document F of the Building Regulations for England and Wales. Further good practice advice for the installation of MVHR systems can be found in the latest edition of the Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide for England and Wales. For MVHR commissioning guidance in other countries, please refer to the relevant local Building Regulations for that country.

• Determine the required ventilation rates. For guidance see Approved Document F of the building regulations for England and Wales.

• During normal running mode, press the SET button for 4 seconds to enter commissioning mode. (Humidity and temperature sensor input is disabled temporarily while the unit is in commissioning mode).

• LEDs B C D will light and LED A will flash indicating that the extract boost flow rate is being modified.

• Fully open all supply/extract valves then measure the air flow rate at all system extract points using a calibrated air flow meter capable of measuring in l/s or m3/hr.

• Add the extract rates from all rooms together then compare this value to the calculated whole building boost extract ventilation rate.

• Use the + and – buttons to increase or decrease the flow rate in order to meet the calculated whole building extract ventilation rate.

• Now adjust the individual valves to extract at the appropriate rate for each wet room.

• Press the SET button once to move on to the next flow rate. The flashing LED indicates which flow rate is being modified.
  A: Extract Boost
  B: Supply Boost
  C: Extract Trickle
  D: Supply Trickle

• Commission the unit in the order shown below, using the previous steps for adjusting air flow rates and valves.

(When the maximum speed setting is reached, the LED will flash faster. When the minimum speed setting is reached the LED will flash slowly).

Record the airflow rates.

2| Supply Normal (Trickle)| Lock the valves.

Record the airflow rates.

3| Supply Boost| Do not adjust the valves. Record the airflow rates.
4| Extract Normal (Trickle)| Do not adjust the valves. Record the airflow rates.

When commissioning is complete for all four flow rates, press SET for 4 seconds to return to normal running mode. If this is not done, the unit will automatically return to normal running mode after 60 minutes of inactivity and the current settings will be saved.
