Installation Manual

5.0 COMMISSIONING

The filters fitted inside the unit are protected with a plastic film. 
Prior to commissioning remove the covers (Figures 22 & 23), take 
off the film and replace.

1. For the required air flow rates please refer to the design specification 

for the property, Section 3.7, or refer to building regulations ADF 
2010.

2. The unit is supplied with independent control for both normal and 

boost airflows (Figure 20). 

3. Correct commissioning is essential to ensure the ventilation air flow 

rates are met. It also ensures the unit is not over ventilating and 
causing excessive power consumption. 

4. Commissioning should be carried out in accordance with building 

regulations document “Domestic ventilation compliance guide”. 

www.planningportal.gov.uk/building regulations/approved 
documents/partf/associated. 

A calibrated moving vane 

anemometer and hood will be required to carry out commissioning.

5. Adjustment valves should be locked in place to prevent further 

adjustment. 

6. Once commissioned the home owner / tenant should be informed 

that the unit should not be adjusted as it will have a detrimental 
effect on the indoor air quality and could result in condensation and 
mould growth. The clear panel covering the control has an adhesive 
panel which should be exposed and sealed post commissioning to 
prevent tampering.

7. Speed 1 is limited to never exceed speed 2, when commissioning 

speed 2 should always be set first.

5.1 Humidity Adjustment

This product contains an internal humidity sensor fitted into the air-
flow extracting from the wet rooms. When the unit senses that the 
humidity exceeds the set point the unit will boost to that set by the 
commissioned boost speed. The set point can be found on the front 
of the unit (Figure 20) and is at its least sensitive when turned fully 
clockwise. Note that the sensor is measuring humidity from all the wet 
rooms at the same time and should not be relied on to solely boost the 
unit. Additional switch should be used local to the wet rooms (Section 
4.2).

5.2 Status Indication

The status of the unit is indicated by a series of LED’s on the front cover. 

The variants are listed below.

The display on the unit control panel will not indicate when a 

higher speed setting has been triggered by an external source, such 

as an ES-PIR2 etc.

5.3 Integral Automatic HX Bypass

Intake and extract temperatures are monitored at the point the 

airflows enter the unit, if the range falls within the set parameters the 

bypass damper is opened automatically to target an indoor comfort 

temperature all year round.
The extract temperature is an average from all wet rooms. If this 

exceeds 25°C the unit may go into bypass depending on outside 

temperatures.

5.4 Frost Protection

In the event of the intake air temperature at the unit dropping below 

the predetermined set point (-5°C as standard) the supply fan will 

reduce to minimum speed, once the temperature rises above the set 

point the fan will return to its commissioned speed.
Frost protection will only activate after ten days of continuous run 

time. If commissioning of the unit is outside of this time frame please 

notify the after sales department prior to site visit.
