Surface-mount installation
3.1.1
Requirements for the installation wall
WARNING
Danger from emerging gas or electric shock
►
Make sure that the holes for the external and exhaust air pipes in the wall are not in the
vicinity of supply lines (e.g. gas, water or power).
—
The ventilation unit must be installed indoors in a perpendicular position on an external
wall. The surface to which the ventilation unit will be fixed must be flat. Any unevenness
will distort the housing when it is fixed in place, and may impair the unit’s functioning.
—
The minimum wall thickness depends on the outer wall terminal used:
Outer wall terminal
Minimum wall thickness
M-WRG-ES
50 mm
M-WRG-ESR
30 mm
M-WRG-ESG/AP...
50 mm
Table 2: Minimum wall thicknesses for outer wall terminals
►
For walls that are 47 cm thick or more, you will need 100 cm long outdoor and
exhaust air pipes (M-WRG-LR 100, part no. 5580).
3.1.2
Positioning the ventilation unit indoors
—
The ventilation unit must be installed so that the openings for extract air and supply air
(pos. 1 and pos. 7 in Fig. 7 on page 15) point up.
—
For a standard room height of 2.50 m, the best effect for air exchange is achieved if the
supply and extract air openings are roughly 30 cm (top edge of the unit) below the ceiling.
►
Maintain the following minimum distances:
— the distance between the top edge of the ventilation unit and the ceiling must be
at least 15 cm. Otherwise air turbulence or an air short circuit may occur.
— The distance between the side edge of the ventilation unit and adjacent surfaces
should be at least 5 cm. The ventilation unit will be easier to operate if this
minimum distance is maintained. It also allows the air filter to be replaced without
obstruction.
►
In taller rooms, position the ventilation unit so that the unit can be operated unaided
(without steps, ladders, etc.). Alternatively order a ventilation unit that can be oper-
ated externally.
