9.1 Safety 

 

WARNING 

Observe general and section-specific safety instructions 

 

9.2 Water trap 

If the device has water drains (counterflow HR), water traps are also included in the unit delivery. 

NOTE! All 

water drains must be sewered and equipped with water traps. The S1800 model also has water drains at 

the back of the unit.

 NOTE! When adjusting the height of the unit, the vertical space required by the water 

trap must be taken into account. 

The supplied water trap is installed according to the instructions supplied with the water trap in the position 

shown in Figure 9.2.1 below. Adjust the overall height of the water trap by shortening the pipe and measuring 

L.  

 

Figure 9.2.1: Water trap 

9.3 Fresh and exhaust air dampers (accessory) 

Future® S units can be equipped with optional fresh and exhaust air dampers to prevent uncontrolled air flow 

when the unit is not running. The dampers are ready-insulated and selected according to the unit’s duct size. 

The dampers are supplied together with the unit in a separate box. 

9.4 Spare filters (accessory) 

Future® S units can be equipped with an optional spare filter kit. The kit includes one set of filters suitable 

for the unit and the spare filters are supplied together with the unit in a separate box.
