INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Follow these instructions when installing the ECO 190 XL:
1. Turn off the electricity before opening the unit.
2. Install an airtight water trap in a frost-free place to
compensate for the fan pressure.
3. The water trap must have a height of at least 50 mm.
4. Make sure that the condensate drain has a sufficient
slope (min. 1%) towards the sewer.
5. Pour 1 litre of water into the drip tray of the unit to
check that it drains correctly. Make sure the condensate
drain is filled with water before each heating season.
6. If the condensate drain is exposed to frost, a thermo-
stat and an electric tracing cable must be installed to
prevent the drain from freezing if the temperature
drops below +2°C.
7. Initial adjustment must be carried out on both the
supply and extract air sides before using the machine.
It is important that there is a balance between the
volumes of intake and extract air.
8. It is recommended keeping the ventilation ducts
closed until the unit is started and the system has
been adjusted.
The ECO 190 XL is intended for mounting in the ceiling
with the special brackets supplied with the ventilation
unit (see photos).
Important: The ECO 190 XL can only be mounted
horizontally.
1. Install the ceiling brackets in accordance with the size of
the ventilation unit with a total of 6 screws able to hold
the full weight of the unit.
2. Slide the ventilation unit with the pre-assembled flanges
onto the ceiling brackets.
3. Complete the installation by installing a screw in the
mounting hole to ensure that the ventilation unit cannot
be tilted out of the ceiling bracket.
4. Fine adjustment of the ECO 190 XL so that the machine
is level, and adjustment to the ceiling, can be performed
by adjusting the machine’s flanges via the screws indica-
ted by the arrows in picture 2.
The ECO 190 XL is intended to be mounted flat on a level,
vibration-free surface. The default configuration is “right”,
which means that the supply and extract air from the living
areas of the house is connected to the right side of the ven-
tilation unit (when the main control board of the machine is
facing you). Labels on the ventilation unit indicate how the
ductwork is to be connected.
PLEASE NOTE that project-specific models can be confi-
gured for left-hand connection – if this is the case, the
labels indicate how the ductwork should be connected.
On a “right-configured” model, the condensate drain and
water trap are connected on the left side of the ventilation
unit (i.e. on the side for fresh air and discharge). The conden-
sate drain on the right side will be plugged and not in use.
The recommended required installation space is the
machine size including br20 cm all around the unit.
At least 160 cm of clearance below the machine is recom-
mended for filter replacement and general servicing.
When planning installation of the ECO 190 XL, take into
account the space required for the water trap/condensate
drain.
KVM-Genvex A/S always recommends careful planning of
the installation space for your Genvex product in relation to
the location of living spaces. As this is a technical product
that contains fans and/or a heat pump, in rare cases, and in
combination with inappropriate installation conditions, it
can produce unsatisfactory noise or vibration nuisances. As
a general rule, it is always recommended installing the
technical system so that it is not placed in the immediate
vicinity of a bedroom. At the same time, when attaching the
Genvex system to the building structure, it is recommended
attaching to a heavy structural component such as con-
crete. It should also be ensured that no sound or vibrations
can be transmitted through materials in contact with the
technical system. If there is a risk of propagation of noise
and vibrations, further installation of vibration-damping
material and sound-damping of installation rooms are
recommended.
The above instructions must be followed. If the installation
is not carried out in accordance with these instructions,
KVM-Genvex cannot be held liable for any further damage
that has nothing to do with the Genvex unit.
