●Only adults sufficiently familiar with the operation and maintenance manual may operate the
equipment.
●The user must not tamper with or modify any part of the equipment, particularly the power supply
lines!
●Only professional service technicians with relevant qualifications may perform equipment repairs.
Unprofessional repairs are very risky and may result in loss of warranty.
●Before opening the equipment´s door for cleaning, filter replacement or general maintenance
always make sure that the equipment is disconnected from power supply and prevent its
reconnection by another person.
●For rules of connecting air duct please see chapter 4.4.
●If the equipment has been out of operation for a prolonged period of time, extra care should be
taken when putting it back into operation.
1.2. Operational safety
●The indoor version of the unit is intended for a basic environment - ambient temperatures must be
between +5 and + 55 °C with relative humidity up to 60 % (60 % relative humidity up to 20°C). If the
appliance is located elsewhere, its sufficient protection must be ensured. The appliance can only be
operated in an environment where there is no risk of fire or an explosion of flammable gases and
fumes.
●The appliance may be operated within the temperature range of ventilation air between -25 and
+40 °C with relative exhaust air humidity up to 80%. The transported air must not contain
●explosive and flammable gases and fumes;
●organic solvents or aggressive substances that might damage mechanical parts of the unit. If
there is a danger of such gases and fumes temporarily entering the duct system (e.g. during
floor bonding, painting), the unit must be switched off sufficiently in advance.
●In the event of a failure the appliance must be disconnected from power supply as soon as
possible!
●The water chiller in all versions must be filled with an antifreeze solution with sufficient thermal
resistance, or it must be drained for the period during which outdoor temperature might fall below
+3°C. We recommend draining water from the chiller with pressurized air, not using a gravity flow!
●Appliances with hot water heaters
●Must be permanently connected to power supply to provide for the anti-freeze protection of the
hot water heater. In the case of a prolonged power outage the heating medium must be
drained from the hot water heater including the control set. We recommend draining water
from the heater with pressurized air, not using a gravity flow!
●It may only be operated if the heating system including the hot water heater and control set
are filled with a heating medium and air bled; also applies to periods outside the heating
season! In the case when the heating system including the hot water heater and control set
are not filled with a heating medium, the appliance must be drained of the remaining heating
medium, dried properly and disconnected from power supply.
●The appliance is designed for environments with Class ETA 1 extract air; in environments with
extract air Class ETA 2 and ETA 3 it is necessary to comply with conditions specified in the
chapter 4.2.
2. S t o r a g e a nd t r a n s p or t
●The appliance may only be stored in dry, covered places with ambient temperatures between
-25°C and +55 °C in such a way that its surfaces that are to be in contact with transported air
remain protected against the weather and stay dry and clean.
●Packaging may not be removed until immediately before the installation of the appliance in its
operating position. If that is not the case, all parts must be checked for cleanliness before
installation and thoroughly cleaned if necessary.
●The appliance must not contain any operational liquids (e.g. water in the hot water heater, water
chiller etc.) during storage and transport.

5
●The appliance may only be transported on handling blocks (included). During transportation the
appliance must be protected against mechanical damage and water penetration and all openings
must be covered with protective covers.
●During transportation the appliance must be secured against falling. The mode of transport must
also eliminate any falls of the appliance or instances of the appliance getting loose.
●Activities near the unit such as grinding, cutting and other ancillary works that could irretrievably
damage the surface or individual parts of the unit are prohibited.

3.1. General
DULEX RS5 series ventilation units with heat recovery are compact appliances equipped with five
ports. Besides supply and extraction ports, the unit contains also fifth port used for circulation. In a
single cabinet, there are two independently powered fans with flexibly mounted engines, a highly
efficient heat recovery exchanger assembled from thin-walled plastic boards for the recovery of
heat/cool, a by-pass damper, slide-out filters of supply, extraction and circulation air, condensate drain
pans and depending on selected accessories also an integrated heater, chiller, shut-off dampers,
flexible flanges and a control system.

3.2. Intended use
DUPLEX 1500/700 to 5500/2000 RS5 are intended for ventilation of civilian and residential buildings
as well as commercial and industrial premises where, besides ventilation, heating or cooling are also
requested. One unit can provide all three functionalities.
DUPLEX RS5 series represent an innovative solution in projects where hot-air heating or cooling is
more advantageous than using traditional solutions such as heating with radiators or locally installed
cooling in the form of air-conditioning (production premises, workshops, repair shops and similar). Be it
the reason that the infrastructure does not provide sufficient power to achieve requested interior
temperature (e.g. floor heating), its operation is not economical or the procurement of the
infrastructure is costly. Units RS5 meet specific interior requirements (premises where absence of
heaters or central heating radiators is requested, e.g. car dealership).
RS5 units meet the requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1253/2014 (Ecodesign) in the
defined working area.
4. I n s t a l l a t i o n
4.1. Safety instructions
●During installation make sure no damage or deformation is caused to the case of the appliance
(e.g. as a result of handling operations).
●After setting the appliance in place check it for stability and secure it in this position against
moving.
●During handling and installation observe all rules of safe work (including work at heights and work
with suspended loads) and use appropriate work and safety equipment.

4.2. Hygienic instructions and requirements
●If installation is interrupted or heavy dusting occurs, cover all openings of the appliance in such a
way so as to ensure that surfaces to be in contact with transported air remain protected against
the weather and stay clean and dry.
●If long-term high relative humidity (short-term more than 90 % or more than 80 % for three
consecutive days) is likely to occur with the subsequent moistening of filters (e.g. in areas with
frequent fogs, frequent and long rains, flying snow etc.), suitable measures must be taken to
prevent microbiologic growth. Recommended measures include more frequent hygienic checks as
per VDI 6022 or shorter filter replacement intervals. Another option is the preheating of air using
an appropriate control devices, or the appliance must be put out of operation for the period when
filters are at the risk of moistening (if the type of operation allows this).
●Should such weather conditions occur at the site of installation that would cause the dew point to
be exceeded in the supply air region of the heat recovery exchanger, or an independent cooling
system is installed in ventilated rooms, DUPLEX RS5 units may only be used provided that it has
been arranged via appropriate measures that the dew point will not be exceeded in the heat
recovery exchanger. The typical weather of central Europe makes this condition almost
impossible.
●The e1/ODA air supply chamber has no water drain. An accessible and cleanable chamber with a
drain of precipitated water must be installed upstream the outdoor air inlet into the appliance.
●The HVAC network of appliances operated in an environment with Class ETA 2 extract air must
be arranged for operation in such a way so that positive pressure is on the supply air side
downstream the heat recovery unit; in an environment with Class ETA 3 extract air the HVAC
network must be arranged for operation in such a way so that positive pressure is on the supply
side against the exhaust side. This must be ensured under all operating conditions of the system.
For details see EN 13779.
In compliance with hygienic standard VDI 6022 HVAC systems must be equipped with shut-off
dampers to ensure the automatic closure of the system so that no air can flow freely through the
system. Shut-off damper of the fresh air supply (ODA) must be thermally insulated. It is
recommended using shut-off dampers available as an accessory. It is the responsibility of the
planner / specialist installation firm to comply with this requirement.
DUPLEX series appliances have a single-stage filtration system –outdoor air (ODA), extracted
indoor air (ETA) and circulation air (IDA). Appliances in a hygienic version in compliance with
hygienic standard VDI 6022 must have at least Class ISO ePM1 50% (F7) filter fitted on the inlet
(applies to outdoor air e1/ODA Class ODA 1 and ODA 2). When outdoor air is Class 3, a Class
ISO ePM10 50% (M5) filter must be fitted in the duct upstream the outdoor air inlet into the HVAC
unit; alternatively, a Class ISO ePM10 50% (M5) filter may be installed in the HVAC unit and a
Class ISO ePM1 50% (F7) filter in the duct at the e2/SUP outlet from the unit. Note: air filters ISO
ePM10 50% (M5) and ISO ePM1 55% (F7) are separately supplied accessories.
Appliances in a hygienic version in compliance with hygienic standard VDI 6022 may be operated
only if the use of recirculating air is suitable for hygienic reasons or the arrangement of operation
of the HVAC network ensures positive pressure in the supply section of the appliance against the
extraction section.
4.3. Installation
●Before installation remove the wooden transport planks.
●Appliance is installed solely in ceiling-suspended position.
●Fit the appliance in such a way that the prescribed manipulation space is observed:

●Slope both the longer and shorter side of the casing 3% towards the condensate drain K1 in the
compartment e2/ c2 (SUP/IDA)
4.4. Connecting ductwork
●Connect the HVAC duct following the design documentation. Make sure that the air exhausted at
i2 does not return back to the fresh air supply e1.
●Air duct must be connected to both inlet ports in a way that a uniform air speed profile is achieved
in the whole cross-section of inlet ports.
●A straight air duct being at least 1 m long must be firmly connected to extraction ports to achieve a
uniform air speed profile in the whole cross-section of extraction ports.
A duct being at least 2 m long must be always connected to fan outlets to prevent injury caused by
the fan’s impeller. This duct must be connected in such a way that it can be dismantled only by using
tools.
4.5. Connecting the condensate drain pipe
●The unit is equipped by two condensate outlets; these are used depending on whether an integrated
cooler is installed.

condensate drain pipe h = 15 cm is sufficient for vast majority of installations.
●Connect one siphon trap (included in delivery) to each condensate outlet. Connect the siphon to the
sewer line.
●Make sure that the condensate pipe is passible all the way along including parts inside the unit and
the pipe slope is sufficient.
●Fill each siphon trap with water.
4.6. Installing air filters
The unit is supplied with separately packed filter cassettes. Various filtration classes can be selected
for filters of outdoor, extracted and circulation air: ISO Coarse 60% (G4), ISO ePM10 50% (M5), and
ISO ePM1 55% (F7). Example of filter installation:
oFilter with class ISO ePM1 55% (F7) as outdoor air filter, location in the compartment e1 (ODA);
oFilter with class ISO ePM10 50% (M5) as extracted air filter, location in the compartment i1 (ETA).
oFilter with class ISO ePM10 50% (M5) as circulation air filter, location in the compartment c1 (IDA).
●Remove, unpack the cassettes and check their condition. Then install the cassettes in their correct
location based on the unit orientation, see description of the unit in the Chapter 3.1.
Unpack and install air filters last, immediately before putting the unit into service to avoid their
contamination.
●Should any damage or contamination be detected, replace the filters with new ones. Spare filter
cassettes are to be ordered from the supplier. The supplier´s address and the spare cassette part
number are shown on the identification plate of the unit.
●Insert undamaged clean filters into the guide rails and secure them.
Especially make sure that the arrow showing the direction of air flow through the filter cassette can
be seen from the side of the operator (the arrow is by the unit´s door);
●Filter of outdoor air e1(ODA) and extracted air i1(ETA) –the arrow points towards heat

Unpack and install air filters last, immediately before putting the unit into service to avoid their
contamination.
Use original filter cassettes only! If different cassettes were used, the manufacturer cannot
guarantee their proper function!
Record the date of installing filters appropriately in e.g. the operational logbook.
4.7. Installing, connecting and filling liquid manometers
Liquid manometers are a separately supplied accessory. Manometers are compulsory for hygienic
units in compliance with VDI 6022.
●Manometers are used for measuring the pressure loss of air filters. During installation follow the
visual instructions supplied with this optional accessory. After installation level the manometers
horizontally.
●Connect the manometers to collection points on the unit´s surface using tubes. Connect the tube
to the top of the manometer and run it to the metal bushing on the unit´s surface (also see a
separate manometer installation manual). The tube must always connect two matching connection
points identified by symbols “+” and “F+” and “-“ and “F-“ (cannot be combined). Make sure that
tubes from just one filter are connected to the manometer.
●Attach the relevant label near each manometer. Fill out the boxes with the filter grade and record
the flow rates and pressure losses of the clean filter (initial pressure loss) and when clogged (final
pressure loss) using data from the table below; the values must be adjusted on the basis on actual
air flow rates through the unit. The unattached label without information filled out is included.

4.8. Installing hot water heating coil
During the mechanical installation of the hot water air heater follow the manual supplied with this
optional accessory.
The supply (and top-up) water should fulfil especially the following criteria:
●The water must be limpid and colourless.
●The pH value of water must not be lower than 7. If water contains dissolved neutral salts its pH
value is to be between 8,5 and 9,5. Soda lye or trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4)can be used for
alkalinisation.
●The content of carbon dioxide in an ion and non-ion form is to be as small as possible.
●The remaining supply water hardness should be lower than 7 mmol/l (at q < 23 kW/m2) and 5
mmol/l (at q > 23 kW/m2). To soften the water, the following chemicals can be used: trisodium
phosphate Na3PO4or cation-exchange resin (in case water is harder than 7 mmol/l; circuits with
high volume of water; when electrical boilers and radiation boilers are present).
●The amount of calcium ion in the water up to 3,5 mmol/l (at q < 23 kW/m2) and up to 1,8 mmol/l
(at q > 23 kW/m2).
●All CO2up to 75 mg/l (at q < 23 kW/m2) and 10 mg/l (at q > 23 kW/m2).
Exact composition of top-up water is mentioned in the norm ČSN 07 7401, in the annex, Table 1.

Basic hygiene-related requirements are outlined in the Chapter 4.2.
The appliance has been manufactured in a hygienic design that complies with all requirements of
the VDI 6022 standard for the hygiene o HVAC device. In order to meet those requirements during
operation it is essential to ensure for the appliance to be operated, maintained, inspected and
cleaned by sufficiently qualified personnel in accordance with instructions contained in the
operation and maintenance manual. It is also essential to ensure for the remaining components of
the HVAC system (HVAC distribution systems, distribution elements, ancillary devices, noise
silencers etc.) to meet all hygienic requirements of the VDI 6022 standard and be operated in
compliance with those requirements.
If long-term high relative humidity (short-term more than 90 % or more than 80 % for three
consecutive days) is likely to occur with the subsequent moistening of filters (e.g. in areas with
frequent fogs, frequent and long rains, flying snow etc.), suitable measures must be taken to
prevent microbiologic growth. Recommended measures include more frequent hygienic checks as
per VDI 6022 or shorter filter replacement intervals. Another option is the preheating of air using
an appropriate control devices, or the appliance must be put out of operation for the period when
filters are at the risk of moistening (if the type of operation allows this).
Air duct including accessories with autonomous regulation of operation is to be connected on the
fresh air supply. Such duct will, in compliance with the regulation VDI 6022, provide for
appropriate treatment of supplied fresh air to prevent air filter from getting wet. In case the duct is
not connected or if it does not include such accessory, the appliance is to be put out of operation
as long as the risk of air filters to get wet persists (thick fog, snowing).
Operators must be familiar with the tasks and functions as well as the individual components of
the appliance.
The appliance must be regularly inspected, cleaned and maintained by sufficiently qualified
personnel (see the following chapter).
Regardless of their qualifications, personnel must undergo hygiene training (see the following
chapter).
The user must be able at any given time to provide evidence as to the qualifications of operators.
If sufficient number of qualified operational and service staff are not available, those activities must
be commissioned to a specialist company that will be responsible for the proper operation of the
appliance.
The user has an obligation to carry out regular hygiene inspections of the appliance every 3 years
(see following chapters).
The appliance must not be operated without air filters. The filter grade of supply fresh air must be
at least ISO ePM1 50% (F7). The filter grade of exhaust air must be at least ISO ePM10 50%
(M5).
If the appliance has been out of operation for a longer period of time, it must be cleaned
thoroughly before recommissioning; if stricter hygienic requirements apply, wiping disinfection
must be carried out.
After disinfecting make sure that no toxicologically suspicious or odour-active substances enter
supply air!
The user has an obligation to appropriately record the appliance's operation (e.g. in the
operational logbook).
