1.0 INTRODUCTION

The ECO2-AE wall mounted range of units are designed to offer 

improved sound levels and an aesthetically pleasing installation by 

housing a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery unit (MVHR) 

inside an acoustically lined enclosure.

The MVHR unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has full 

speed control for background and boost ventilation rates. To recover 

heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block is utilised. The heat 

exchanger can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat.

If the MVHR unit has integral automatic HX bypass (AB models 

only)

, the bypass damper shall open automatically via a wax actuator 

allowing the air to bypass the heat exchanger to deliver fresh filtered air 

during the warmer months.

2.0 INSTALLATION

Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance 

with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory 

governing regulations. All mains wiring must be in accordance with the 

current I.E.E. Regulations, or the appropriate standards. Ensure that the 

mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating 

label.
Please allow a minimum of 350mm in front of the enclosure. 
The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall away from direct 

sources of frost, heat and water spray or moisture generation.
For a vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a non-

reverberant wall.

IMPORTANT

The unit must remain switched on at all times to maintain 

ventilation within the dwelling. Turning the unit off will cause long 

term damage to the unit and building fabric.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) 

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of 

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision 

or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person for their 

safety. Children should be supervised so that they do not play with 

the appliance.

2.1 Transportation fixings

To prevent damage during transportation the product is shipped 

with securing fixings, these can be found front and centre of the 

enclosure top panel (fig.3). These must be removed before use, 

failure to do so will result in excessive vibration and noise. The 

screws removed can be discarded and replaced with rubber caps 

provided.

2.2 Wall Mounting the MVHR Unit

The unit is designed for wall mounting on a solid wall only, a gypsum 

block/plasterboard wall will not suffice. Examples of suitable 

installation are shown overleaf. The wall brackets supplied should be 

secured to the wall using suitable fixings (supplied by others) as per the 

dimensions given in fig.4; the head of the chosen fixing should protrude 

no more than 8mm from the wall bracket. The enclosure assembly can 

then be lifted using suitable equipment and moved into position so it 

is sitting directly on the wall brackets (ensuring the rear panel of the 

enclosure is not in contact with the wall bracket fixings). The enclosure 

can be secured to the wall brackets using the 4x M8 fixings supplied.
No part of enclosure should be in contact with the building structure, 

the only components that should be in contact are the wall mounting 

brackets.

Note: Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed true in 

all 3 dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflow from the 

internal condensation drip tray.
