Kinetic MVHR Installation & Commissioning 

7

 

 

Overview 

The following instructions are intended to help prevent potential hazards and installation should only be carried 
out by a qualified electrician and installer.   

NOTE: we advise installers to fix all mains and sensor wiring prior to fixing the MVHR unit in position. 

Before Installation of the Unit 

Inspect the Unit 

When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the enclosed delivery note. Inspect the unit 
for damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Customer Services. Each box contains a Kinetic Plus E MVHR unit 
and an accessory pack containing wall brackets, condensate drain link pipes, worm-drive clips, fixings and 
product documentation. 

Lift and Move the Unit Safely 

On page 5 check the weight of the unit that you are installing.  Always use appropriate lifting techniques and 
appliances when moving heavy equipment. 

Check Site Requirements and Safety Notices 

Check that the physical and environmental conditions for the site meet, or exceed, the requirements detailed in 
the 

Technical Specification

 on page 5

Read and observe the safety notices listed in 

Warnings and Safety Information 

on page 2. 

Unit Installation 

The Kinetic Plus E unit is typically installed on a wall in a utility room, storage cupboard, roof void, or similar. 

The wall should have sufficient strength to support the unit. 

Take into consideration the position of the electrical services and the condensate drain. 

Ensure there is an adequate access for installation, operation and maintenance.  

It is recommended that a local disconnection mains and sensor terminal box is installed within 1m of the unit to 
facilitate future maintenance.  

The unit MUST always be mounted vertically with ducting exiting vertically or horizontally. Do not use this unit 
as a support for any other equipment. 

Select Unit Orientation 

The unit is supplied from the factory with the condensate exit (and the atmosphere spigots) to the right of the 
unit, when viewed from the front.  Access is required to the Control Unit on the front of the unit in order to 
commission, operate and maintain the unit.  If the unit is to be installed as supplied, skip the following section 
and go to Vertical Discharge Condensate Installation on page 10. 

If the orientation of the condensate exit (and the atmosphere spigots) would be better suited on the left of the 
unit, the front Control Unit and the rear Cable Inlet Plate can be swapped over to allow the unit to be installed in 
the opposite orientation.
