Installation Manual

NOXMASTER - PIV with Carbon Filtration

This appliance should not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or 

mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision 

or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out 

by children.

or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and 
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the 
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by 
children without supervision.

Precautions must be taken to avoid the back-flow of gases into the 
room from the open flue of gas or other fuel-burning appliances. 

Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring as 
shown in the wiring diagram in accordance with IEE wiring or national 
wiring rules.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of 
the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an 
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that 
is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

4.1 Loft Inspection

Ensure

 that the loft has adequate ventilation. There may be occasions 

where a loft is so well sealed that additional ventilation may have to be 
provided by the owner/occupier. 

Ensure

 that all water tanks are covered and sealed. 

Check 

that all water pipes are lagged. 

Check

 the area of the installation that beams are flat and level and are 

capable of supporting the total weight of the unit. 

Ensure

 the insulation is not proud of the beams. If insulation is prouder 

than the beams, alternative arrangements to provide a flat surface 
above the insulation may be required. Do not install the unit with 
insulation contacting the underside of the unit.      

Ensure

 that extract fans are discharging to outside, not into the loft. 

Check 

that the loft hatch is tightly sealed. 

Ensure 

that all ceiling holes are sealed i.e. ceiling light fittings etc. A 

visual inspection of any flues or chimneys for leakage in the loft should 
be carried out by the installer.  

If any

 leakage points are found, or if there is any doubt at all, then the 

installer should advise the house owner/provider as soon as possible 
and seek instruction from them before proceeding with the installation.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

Nuaire’s NOXMASTER range has been specifically designed to improve 
the indoor air quality and provide a whole home ventilation solution. 
Combining the principles of positive input ventilation (PIV) and carbon 
filter technology the unit provides cleaner, fresher, filtered air into the 
a dwelling at a continuous rate, encouraging the movement of air from 
inside to outside. To achieve this, the unit is mounted in the loft space 
and draws air from either the loft space or ducted supply from the 
exterior of the house (dependant on the operating temperatures).

Unlike conventional PIV units, NOXMASTER units are fitted with 
dual inlets, which automatically select the air source based on the 
surrounding temperature:

If the loft temperature is below the set point (recommended 24°C) 
then the unit will take fresh air from the loft space.

If the loft temperature is above the set point (recommended 
24°C) then cooler fresh air will be taken from outside the dwelling 
through a ducted supply (if fitted). 

To improve the efficiency of the NOXMASTER unit, it is fitted with a 
carbon filter bypass. The bypass is controlled on a time basis and is 
programmed to operate during times of low pollution (e.g. night time 
when air pollution is lower).
