installation

Before installing the fan coil, ensure that:
– The place of installation has sufficient space for containing the device and for performing installation and maintenance (respect spaces fig. point 2).
– The air inlet and delivery are not obstructed.
– The hydraulic connections are positioned and dimensioned as requested by the device (fig.1).
– The electric power supply line has the features requested on the fan coil’s data plate.

In normal operation, particularly with the fan at minimum speed and ambient air with high relative humidity, condensation may form on the air outlet and on some external parts of the unit. To avoid such issues while always remaining within the operating limits envisaged for the unit, it is necessary to limit the (average) temperature of the water inside the heat exchanger. In particular, the difference between the air dew point (TA, DP) and the average water temperature (TWM) must NOT exceed 14 °C,
according to the following relationship:

TW>TA,DP-14 °C
For example: in the case of ambient air at 25 ° C with 75% relative humidity, the dew point temperature is about 20 ° C and therefore the average temperature of the water
in the battery must be greater than:

-20-14 = 6 °C in order to avoid condensation on a fan coil equipped with a valve.
– 20-12 = 8 °C If the valve kit accessory can not be installed.

In the event, the indoor unit is stopped for a prolonged period, with the fan stopped and circulation of cold water in the heat exchanger, condensation may also form on the unit’s exterior. In this case, it is advisable to install the 3-way (or 2-way) valve accessory in order to stop the flow of water in the coil when the fan is stopped.

Remove the cabinet, where existing, by unscrewing the 4 fastening screws reachable through the lifted side doors (see figure 2). In the case of FWL and FWR versions, also unscrew the 2 screws on the front panel.

Install the basic unit onto the wall/ceiling using the 4 mounting slots and the supplied anchor screws, keeping the unit at least 100 mm above the floor for proper air suction and an easy pulling out of the filter in case of FWV, FWZ, FWM, and FWS models. In the case of ceiling models FWM, FWS, FWL, and FWR verify that the installation height corresponds to what is specified in figure 3, in order to avoid excessive hot air stratification in the upper part of the room; in case of greater installation heights, we suggest to proceed with the back section from the lower part of the room. The installation heights refer to the maximum running speed.

Carry out the hydraulic connections to the heat exchanger and in case of cooling operation, to the water drainage system.

In the case of cooling applications, make sure to insulate all field-installed piping and fittings to avoid condensate dripping on the floor. Noninsulated piping can cause water damage!

We suggest providing for the water inlet from the bottom side of the heat exchanger and the outlet on the upper side.

For better water drainage lean the drainpipe downwards at least 3þcm/m avoiding loops or narrowing on its way.

It is possible to change the water connections side operating as follows:

• remove the cover front panel of the basic unit (4 screws), in case of models FWV and FWZ or the main drip tray in case of models FWL, FWR, FWM, and FWS;
• remove the heat exchanger cover (2 screws);
• remove the heat exchanger (4 screws) fixed on the side panels of the basic unit;
• remove the lower partition plate;
• disconnect the motor cables from the terminal strip;
• remove the terminal strip and reassemble it on the opposite side;
• take out the motor cable and place it on the opposite side; remove the rubber snap bushing;
• remove the drain pipe and place it on the opposite side; set the drain pipe in place of the closing cap of the drip tray and fix that closing cap back in the position where the drain pipe originally was;
• turn the heat exchanger 180° and insert it on the side panel removing the pre-cut slots; fix it to the unit using the screws supplied;
• reassemble the lower partition plate on the bottom side;
• reassemble the heat exchanger cover;
• reassemble the control panel opposite to the water connections in case of model FWV and FWZ;
• insert the rubber snap bushing into the hole previously used for the drainpipe, reassemble the cable fastener on the side panel, and reassemble the cables connecting them to the terminal strip;
• reassemble the cover front panel (4 screws) in case of models FWV and FWZ or the main drip tray for the models FWL, FWR, FWM, and FWS;
• close the holes previously used with drip-proof material.

Carry out the purge from the heat exchanger operating on the air vent valves (10 hexagon wrench) located beside the water connections of the heat exchanger.

In the case of concealed models FWM and FWS, perform the connection between the unit and the ducts and place damping material between the duct and the unit.

The ducts, in particular the outlet ones, must be insulated.

In order to avoid air back suction on the unit, keep a minimum distance between the air outlet and recovered airflow as shown in figure 4.

The minimum installation height may not be lower than 1.8 m from the floor level.

In the case of FWM and FWS, provide for an inspection port to the unit.

The FWM and FWS built-in models must not be accessible to the public.

In the case of FWL and FWR, install the bottom plate according to figure 6.

For fan coils equipped with the auxiliary electric heating elements, ensure that any combustible material is at least 30 cm away from the electric heating element.

The openable side doors must be fixed with screws, due to the lack of controls onboard the fan coil.

field wiring

All field wiring and components must be installed by a licensed electrician and must comply with relevant local and national regulations.

Carry out the electrical wiring after having turned the power off. Refer to figure 5.

For options, refer to the appropriate manual.

Check that the power supply corresponds to the nominal power supply stated on the unit nameplate.

An omnipolar mains isolator in overvoltage category III must be present for every fan coil in the power supply line.
