- For the vertical version section, fix the supporting feet to the floor (or to the supporting framework), by interposing an antivibration layer (fig. 9); if adjacent to a vertical wall, it is also suggested to block the upper bracket on it.
- In the case of roof cover, the unit side on which is installed will be free of coupling stirrups.
Air duct connection layout (multiport plenum PLM)
- PLM plenum is provided with n°10 possible air connections of which n° 6 closed by insulated plates (A) fixed by selfdrilling screws, as shown on fig. 10a.
- in order to get the desired air inlet/air outlet layout, move opportunely and block again the plates on the connections really not used; do this before positioning the plenum.
Air duct connections
- The air ducts must be correctly sized, in order to match unit external static pressure at duty airflow rate; take also into account the air pressure drop of possible options.
- In order to prevent water condensation and to reduce noise to the rooms, it is strongly suggested to install insulated air ducts or provide a duct insulation.
- Consider the need to install sound attenuators depending on unit sound level and the required acoustic comfort of the room to be treated.
- Between unit and air ducts always install suitable flexible joints; anyway, the electrical continuity must be ensured between air ducts (if metal type) and unit by a ground cable.
- Air duct weight shall not load the unit or its possible external sections.
Installation of damper (SKR1, SKR2 supplied apart)
- Each damper is provided with holes on its coupling flange and supplied kit composed of adhesive perimetric gasket (A) and self-drilling screws (B), as shown on fig. 10b.
- Apply the gasket all around the perimeter of the flange, place the damper in correspondence with the interested air intake/outlet so that its shaft is accessible and can’t interfere with unit access doors or other functional elements, then fix by the self-drilling screws.
Water and refrigerant connections
The installation and connecting of the piping is an operation that must be done correctly, otherwise, it may compromise the performance of the system. At worst it may cause irreversible damage to the machine. These operations are to be effectuated by qualified personnel.
Condensation outlet connection (QRCE, CCS, CDX)
- Provide each point of condensation discharge with a suitable drain trap, that shall be filled with water before starting up the unit.
- The drain trap shall be done as shown on fig. 11.
- The drain trap must have a tap for correct cleaning of the lower part and must allow easy disassembly.

- Support the weight of discharge piping so as not to load the discharge junction on the unit/external section.
Water coil connection (CCS)
- The water coil is provided with GAS male threaded connections.
- The tightening must be carried out with extreme care to avoid damage to the copper headers.
- The path of piping shall not interfere with scheduled and not scheduled maintenance operations.
- Follow instructions of IN plate and OUT plate to connect water inlet and water outlet respectively; different connections may lead to heating/cooling performance reduction.To optimize the performance, air inlet side shall be opposite to the water inlet side.
- Provide an air valve at the top of the piping (higher than unit top side), and a water discharge valve at the bottom of the piping.
- Support water piping so as not to load the coil headers.
- Once connections are done, fix both annular external gaskets to avoid air leakage.
- In the event of operation at very low air temperature, fill the water circuit with antifreeze; the same shrewdness shall be carried out in the event of plant shut-off long periods at very low air temperature, if the water plant is not emptied.
- In the event of plant shut-off for scheduled or not scheduled maintenance, close the inlet and outlet manual cut off valves; furthermore, empty all the water drain trays.
Direct expansion coil connections (CDX)
- Just use copper pipes suitable for R410A refrigeration and size them according to the following table; all pipes shall be preventively clean with nitrogen or dry air and shall be free from moisture.
- Freon coil is provided with welded plugs and filled and pressurized by nitrogen (the upper plug is covered by insulation, it shall not be connected to the refrigerant circuit but sealed permanently); while removing the plugs, be sure that the coil is still pressurized, otherwise, it could have leakage points. In this event, do not repair the coil by yourself but ask for a spare section.

and prevent failures. We suggest preparing a booklet of installation according
to European legislation. Provide a machine book that allows you to track of
the actions taken on the unit, so it will be easier to cadence adequately the
various interventions and will facilitate possible troubleshooting.
Please take note of: the date, type of action, description of the action,
measurements performed, anomalies identified, alarms registered in the alarm
history, etc. …
Scheduled monthly check
Air filters
Air filters are placed close to unit air inlets and are usually accessible :
- for the horizontal unit, by lower hinged doors provided with recessed handles and kept closed by blocking devices (by these doors maintenance is both for filter and fan; fig. 12a)
- for the vertical unit, by front-hinged doors provided with recessed handles and kept closed by blocking devics (by these doors maintenance is both for filter and fan; fig. 12b)
Other special access to filters is also possible
- for the horizontal unit, by removing an end side panel provided with a recessed handle (fig. 13a)
- for the vertical unit, by removing an upper-end panel provided with a recessed handle (fig. 13b)
Once the door is open, the slipping of filter elements is prevented by a filter locking plate to be turned 90°(use a Phillips head screwdriver); after remounting filter elements, turn the locking plate in the opposite direction to the contact with filter frame, then block it (fig. 12c)
Remove one end panel at a time using an AW20 head tool to unscrew. For the horizontal unit, once unscrewed, preventively turn the panel (1) and then remove it by side (2), in order to not interfere with the corner vertical supporting bar. For the vertical unit, once unscrewed, directly move the panel upwards.
As standard equipment, unit is provided with compact filters (F7 class efficiency on fresh air intake, M5 class efficiency on return air intake); they are not cleanable, therefore, when dirty, they shall be replaced with new ones. Filters to be replaced shall be suitably packaged and brought to the nearest waste disposal. For an automatic check of filter condition, it is suggested to use (optional) filter pressure switches.
Scheduled yearly check
Check all electrical devices, check that all electrical connections are well
tightened. Similarly, check all mechanical and water connections.
Heat recovery
No particular maintenance operation is needed but the visual check of perfect cleaning and integrity of heat exchange surface. For this check it is needed to dismount, one by one, the panels for special access to filters (see previous 7.
Fans
Access to the fan is as previously described for the filter, by using hinged doors only (fig. 12a and 12b); check the perfect cleaning and the free rotation of the impeller.
Not scheduled maintenance
Removal and replacement of the fan
Enter fan section by the hinged door and unhook the fast plug; use a 5 mm Allen key for unscrewing/screwing. Operate as described below (fig. 14) :
- remove the fan stirrup (A) placed close to the door (absent on QRCE 3000; for QRCE 500 and 1000 fan is already removable)
- for the other sizes, gradually loosen the screws of the fan locking devices (B) (two for QRCE 1500, 2000, 4000; four to be removed for QRCE 3000) and drive the removal of the fan.
For replacing the new fan, operate according to the opposite sequence.
Removal and replacement of the by-pass actuator
The by-pass device is inspected by removal of the middle panel between the two
end panels for special access to filters. For sizes 3000 and 4000 also remove
temporarily the intermediate support (see previous 4.3).
To remove this panel operate as described below (fig. 15a)
- dismount and remove each of the two end filter panels (fig. 13a e 13b)
- unscrew the internal screws (A) which fix the frame of the by-pass device to the unit internal frame
- dismount and remove the middle panel by the front side for about 20 cm; a by-pass device is installed on it and connected to the unit electric box by a cable fitted with fast plug on the actuator
To replace by-pass actuator (or to check the whole by-pass system) preventively unhook the 7-pole faston fast plug, placed on the actuator. Pay attention that this 7-pole connector has one mating direction and it shall be matched while remounting. Then (figg. 16c and 16d)
- loosen and remove the two screws (E) (use a Phillips screwdriver))
- lift the actuator up to make it free from blade shaft and remove it off complete with its cable.
To install a new actuator operate according to the opposite sequence, taking care of matching the damper shaft in the same position when the previous actuator has been removed.
To re-mount operate as described below
- mount and fix the middle panel (for 3000 and 4000 models install again and adjust the intermediate support)
- fix the internal screws A
- insert and fix each of the filter panel
Manual reset of the internal electric heater(s); replacement of electric heater(s)
In the event of overtemperature of the resistive elements, a manual reset of the heater thermal protection could be needed. There are two release buttons (one suitable for horizontal unit, one for vertical unit), placed on the frame of the electric heater and they can be approachable by the end filter panels (fig. 17); to facilitate this service, a screwdriver can be used. In case of replacing of the heater operate as follows :
- remove the middle panel also
- disconnect the heater by the fast connector
- by 5 mm Allen key remove the closure element of the sliding guide of the heater
- remove the heater by side; depending on unit size, heater can be composed of 90°-articulated elements in order to operate within the gap spaces as described in the previous 4.3
- replace the heater with a new one following the opposite sequence
Removal of roof cover (QRCE vertical unit)
In the event of outdoor installation, access to upper panels is possible by preventive removal of the roof cover; this is fixed on each upper side by M6 screws, for which a 5 mm Allen key is needed (fig. 18).
