2.4 Installation
conditions
In order to determine whether the ComfoAir can
be installed in a certain area, the following aspects
must be taken into account:
• The ComfoAir must be installed according to the
general and locally applicable safety and instal-
lation regulations of power and water compa-
nies, as well as the instructions in this manual.
• The system must be fi tted to allow suffi cient
room around the ComfoAir for the air connec-
tions and supply and exhaust ducts as well as
for carrying out maintenance activities.
• The ComfoAir must be installed in a frost-free
space. The condensation must be drained off
frost-free, at a gradient and incorporate a 'U' bend.
We do not recommend installing the Com-
foAir in areas with a higher average humidity
(such as bathroom or toilet). This will prevent
condensation on the outside of the ComfoAir.
• The room must offer the following provisions:
-
Air duct connections.
- 230V electrical connection.
- Provisions for the condensation drain.
- Wiring for an wired 3-position switch
(optional).
• A gap should be left near the doors in order to
ensure effective and draughtfree airfl ow in the
house. A gap under the inside doors must be
atleast 10mm. a
If these openings are obstructed, due to drau-
ght excluders or deep-pile carpet, the airfl ow
in the house will stagnate. As a result, system
performance will be compromised or fail alto-
gether.

2.6
Mounting of the ComfoAir
2.6.1 Mounting on the wall
Mount
the ComfoAir against a wall with a minimum
mass of 200 kg/m
2
. For other types of wall, we re-
commend using the Zehnder mounting frame on the
fl oor (available as an optional extra). This reduces
contact noise as much as possible. The ComfoAir
does not require any space at the sides for effective
operation.
Do not mount the side of the ComfoAir
against the wall due to the risk of impact
sound.
1. Fasten the mounting bracket to the wall. Make
sure it is level and at least 878mm from the fl oor
(depending on the type of condensation drain
selected).
Leave a minimum space of 1m in front of the
ComfoAir for carrying out maintenance.
2. Hang the ComfoAir on the mounting bracket.
3. Mount the condensation drain under the Com-
foAir. The stated dimension of 235 mm is an in-
dication only, and is dependent on the type of
condensation drain selected.
