2.3 Installation conditions
In case of retrofitting installation, it's recommended that the ComfoAir Q has the
latest firmware with a minimum of release 1.10 (see ComfoAir Q manual).
In order to determine whether the ComfoClime can be installed in a certain area, the following aspects
must be taken into account:
■
The unit must be installed in a frost-free space;
■
The ventilation unit must be mounted only on flat, stable floor.
CAUTION!
Fitting to a ventilation unit mounted onto the wall is NOT permitted for safety reasons.
■
The roof vents should be made airtight and dampproof;
■
All supply, outdoor and exhaust ducts should be dampproofed. This prevents
condensation forming on the inner or outer duct surface and improves air temperation
efficiency;
CAUTION!
DO NOT connect a powered extractor hood to this system.
■
We recommend fitting the unit with silencers right after the unit, on both the supply and
extract ducts. For more information, please contact Zehnder;
■
The installation location must be chosen so that there is sufficient room around the
unit for air duct connections, intake and exhaust piping and in order to carry out the
installation. Keep at least 1 metre free in front of the unit and 25 cm to the side where
the condensation drain is connected to the waste water;
■
The free height when mounted should be at least 210 cm, in order to allow enough
space for the ducts connection;
■
Connect the unit to a 230 V~ 50 Hz power supply. Any other connection would damage
the unit and is not permitted;
■
The unit is designed for use in residential areas only. The unit is not suitable for
commercial use such as in swimming pools or saunas. Installation in an industrial
environment can damage the unit;
■
The allowed temperature of the installation area is provided in the section “Technical
specifications”;
■
Zehnder recommends that the unit is not installed in spaces with higher-than-average
humidity (such as laundry rooms or swimming pool environment). This prevents the
formation of condensation on the external surface of the unit;
■
Check whether the electrical installation can fulfil the maximum capacity of the unit.
The maximum capacity is provided in the section “Technical specifications”;
■
All units are suitable for a 230V ~ 50Hz single phase supply fused 16A cat. C.
