This unit must be earthed.

Please Note: The core cable from the mains power supply must be connected to a fixed
wiring installation, via

a 5 amp

fused isolator, as to comply with current IEE wiring

regulations.

A switch or circuit breaker must be used in the power supply circuit. It should be in close
proximity to the HRV unit and should be clearly marked as the disconnecting device for
the HRV Unit.

Connecting to mains:

The aircycle 3.1 unit comes pre-wired with 2m length of 4-core cable, which should be
connected into a fan-isolation switch. In turn a 3-core mains cable should be used to
connect to a

5A fused spur

, which should be located close to the unit. The unit should

never be connected to a plug outlet.

Green/Yellow = Earth

The grey switch wire is used to boost the system. When a live 230v signal is applied, the
Auto Boost function will be triggered.
