Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

Immediately upon receipt of goods, check for possible damage in transit paying particular attention
to fan impellors, coil connections and unit casing. Prior to installation please check to ensure
alignment and smooth rotation of the impellor after transit. Also check to ensure that any ancillary
items are included. These will normally be supplied fitted or, in the case of small items, taped to
the unit. In the event of any damage having occurred or if any item is found to be missing, it is
essential to inform VES Andover Ltd. within
7 days
of delivery quoting sales order number and the
unit type, as found on the unit nameplate. After this period, VES would be unable to accept any
claim for damaged or missing goods.
The entire system must be considered for safety purposes and it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that all of the equipment is installed in compliance with the manufacturers
recommendations, with due regard to the current HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT and
conforms to all relevant statutory regulations.
Where a unit is installed so that a failure of components could result in injury to personnel,
precautions should be taken to prevent such an injury. If the unit is installed where there is a
reasonable possibility of persons or objects coming into contact with the impellor whilst operational,
a guard should be fitted or steps taken to prevent this. It is the installers responsibility to ensure
that access panels are not obstructed in any way and safe working access for maintenance must
be provided in accordance with Health and Safety and Building Regulations. For confirmation of
required access please see the appropriate unit outline drawing.
For optimum unit performance, careful consideration must be paid to the location of the unit in
relation to the ductwork and associated items; placing the unit directly adjacent to a bend in
ductwork will impede airflow and reduce performance. Consideration must also be given by the
installer for adequate illumination of the unit location in order for safe maintenance. Further
consideration should be given to the units position and should be secured into place as appropriate;
this is especially important with external mounting as the wind and elements may effect the
overall stability of the unit.

VES before attempting to support the unit using alternative methods.
Only experienced fitters should undertake this work. Take necessary safety precautions when
working in elevated positions.
When moving the unit, handle with care and in such a manner as to avoid damaging the
external finish as this may reduce the ability to resist corrosion.
Units are to be rigged and lifted using spreaders, taking into account the weight of the unit.
Lifting gear should be arranged so as not to bear on the casework
