Section 4 – Installation

 

 

 

4.1 Requirements at the installation site 

 

 

The location must be frost-free.  

 

The room temperature should not fall below +5°C.  

 

The Fresh air intake must be sited in an area free from unwanted odours and far enough away from the 
Exhaust air outlet to prevent re-circulation. 

 

The condensate drains must be protected from freezing.  

 

Make sure there is sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and repair work. (See dimensional 
drawing). 

 

We strongly recommend you consult a qualified specialist. 

 

WARNING:  

Free access to the unit and to the 

switch disconnecting it from the power supply 
must be ensured at all times. 

 

NOTE!  

Air inlet and outlet openings and air 

transfer openings must not be obstructed, 
covered or closed so that an unhindered 
airflow is ensured. Settings made by the 
qualified technician must not be changed.  

 

WARNING:  

Alterations made to the unit or to the 

installed system as a whole as well as 
structural alterations can affect safety; consult 
a qualified technician.  

 

WARNING:  

Using the ventilation unit together with 

fuel burning devices (e.g. fire places, gas 
stoves) is subject to special requirements. Any 
applicable national as well as regional 
guidelines and regulations must be observed.

WARNING:  

IF THE HIGHER FLOW RATES REQUIRED FOR OPEN FLUE ROOMS ARE NOT CORRECTLY SET THERE IS 
A DANGER THAT FLUE GASES COULD BE DRAWN BACK INTO THE ROOM, WITH THE 
CONSEQUENTIAL RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

6.5.2 Frost protection of the heat exchanger 

 

When the outdoor temperatures are very low, a frost protection function will operate in order to prevent 
freezing of the heat exchanger. 
Frost protection of the heat exchanger is activated when the Fresh air temperature drops below 3°C. 

 

To change the frost protection temperature : 

 

Use the “Change settings” menu and alter the Defrost Heater Switching temperature. (See 6.3.2, Change 
settings). 

 

Automatic frost protection method : 

 

Flue not used (Jumper L13 installed): Supply fan is switched off for between 15 – 30 minutes. 

 

Flue in use (Jumper L13 removed): Bypass shutter is opened for between 15 – 30 minutes. 

 

Note: The frost protection time of between 15 – 30 minutes depends on the Extracted temperature.
