1.9. OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Fresh air is drawn in with the air intake located outside the building. Then, using ventilation ducts, the air is transported
to the air handling unit. After filtering, it flows to the heat exchanger where heat energy exchange from the exhaust
stream takes place. The air is heated in winter and cooled in the summer. Next, the supplied air flows to the so-called
“clean” areas such as a living room or bedroom.
Both, used and polluted air is extracted from the so-called “dirty” areas such as a toilet, bathroom, kitchen or laundry by
means of exhaust grilles or diffusers, and then directed to the air handling unit by means of exhaust ducts. After
filtering, it flows to the heat exchanger, where the heat or cold is “recovered” from the used air. The air is then moved to
an outlet located outside the building.
1.10. ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT
The standard accessories of the unit include the following:
● Cross-flow plate heat exchanger.
● M5 class supply and exhaust air filters.
● EC fans: centrifugal supply and extract fans with electrically commutated motors.
● NANO COLOR remote control panel which is connected, with a communication cable, to the control system, located
inside the electric compartment of the air handling unit.
● Wall bracket + securing angle bar.
CAUTION: Some of the units come with the dedicated VARR75-160 air Distribution Box.
1.11. INSTALLING AND PREPARING THE UNIT FOR OPERATION
Installation of the air handling unit
● The unit is designed for wall or ceiling mounting. The unit can be fixed to the wall or ceiling using the mounting brackets
included with the set.
● WALL MOUNTING
- Hang the unit at least 500 mm above the floor level which is the distance required to provide space for a condensate
drain trap, as well as air ducts if the VARR75-160 Distribution Box is used.
- Check whether the mounting structure can support the weight of the unit. If not, use additional beams to reinforce the
location intended for installation. The unit must be installed on a rigid and stable surface.
- The unit should be fixed to a vertical surface.
- To securely fix the air handling unit and distribution box on the mounting brackets, use dowels or other fasteners suitable
for the type of load bearing material. After fixing the unit, check it for stability.
① ②

________________________________________________________________
AQUILA 305 Instruction Manual

● CEILING MOUNTING
- The unit must be fixed to the ceiling allowing at least 500 mm length from the wall which is required to provide space
for the air ducts if the VARR75-160 distribution box is installed.
CAUTION: The ceiling to which the air handling unit will be fixed must not be permeable to water. It should effectively
protect the unit from flooding even if the building's plumbing system fails.
- Check whether the mounting structure can support the weight of the unit. If not, use additional beams to reinforce the
location intended for installation. The unit must be installed on a rigid and stable surface.
- The unit must be fixed to a vertical surface.
- To securely fix the air handling unit and distribution box on the mounting brackets, use dowels or other fasteners suitable
for the type of load bearing material. After fixing the unit, check it for stability.
① ②
- If the unit is built with an underside housing, allow at least 200 mm free space for the condensate drain trap.
③
● The unit should be installed so as to enable its free opening for the replacement of filters, cleaning the exchanger and
other maintenance.
● Make sure the power supply system is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance. The permissible temperature
of the intake air is -20 to +50° C.
● The air handling unit should be installed in rooms where the temperature is min. 0°C.
Minimum lengths of ventilation ducts
To ensure the best efficiency of the air handling unit and to reduce aerodynamic losses due to turbulence, it is
recommended to install a straight section of air duct at the entry and exit of the unit.
The minimum recommended lengths of such straight sections:
- 25 cm of an air conduit at the inlet side;
- 60 cm at the outlet side.
In case of lack or short air ducts on one or several ports of the air handling unit it is necessary to protect the unit's internal
parts against entry of foreign objects, for example, install a protective grid or other device with mesh size not larger than
12.5 mm, to prevent free access to the fans.
If the source of noise is where the spiral air duct is connected, replace the spiral air duct with a flexible duct to avoid
resonance. Flexible inserts can also be used to prevent resonating.

Draining of condensate
Connect the flexible condensate drain pipe to one of the ports of the drip tray, depending on the unit configuration
(LEFT/RIGHT). The dia. 32 mm pipe should be bent to form a trap (the height difference between the upper and lower
elbow of the trap should be at least 100 mm). The drain pipes have to be arranged with a slope of approximately 2%.
NOTE: Fill the drain system with water, before starting the unit for the first time! The drain
trap must be filled with water during operation at all times.
Make sure that water flows into the drain, otherwise condensate may accumulate inside the
unit when the recuperator operates, which in turn may damage the unit and cause water
leakage into the room.
The condensate drain system must be used in all rooms, in which air temperature is above
0°C! If the room temperature is below 0°C the condensate drainage system has to be
thermally protected and equipped with a heating device to prevent it from freezing.
ATTENTION! Condensate drainage is also recommended in air handling units with an
enthalpy exchanger, as in special cases a small amount of condensate may accumulate.
Connecting to the mains power supply
The unit must be connected to a 230 V/50 Hz single-phase AC power supply network, using the original power cord
provided with the unit. Before connecting to the mains, check the cable for any mechanical damage caused by crushing,
cutting etc., which may result in an electric shock.
The unit must be connected to the power network, in compliance with the regulations and standards in force.
ATTENTION!
The control panel should be connected to a properly installed socket equipped with an earthing contact.
The power outlet should be located in an easily accessible place so that the plug can be pulled out easily in
case of danger. The panel ratings are given on the manufacturer's factory label. Any changes to the internal
connection are prohibited and will void the warranty.
Installation of air ducts
● The ventilation ducts should be secured against slipping from the connection stubs with cable ties.
● The distance between the air intake and the outlet should be at least 1.5 m.
● The air intake should be located on the shadiest building side as far as possible from sources of stale air (street, chimney,
etc.)
● Install the exhaust air duct with a slope to the unit.
● All ducts should be insulated to avoid inside condensation and excessive moisture accumulation.
● When installing the ducts, minimise the number of sharp bends, etc., to reduce resistance of the ducts.
● The ducting should be airtight. Use fittings with gaskets or seal the joints with e.g. adhesive aluminium tape.
● To reduce the transmission of vibrations and to make the unit run more quietly, connect it to the system with flexible
dampers on the intake and exhaust sides.
● The installation should follow a design prepared by an authorised designer.
● Make flow adjustments on the diffusers, based on measurements taken with an anemometer according to the air
balance obtained.
● Ceiling diffusers should be installed min. 30 cm from the walls.
● To ensure adequate flow between rooms:
- The gap under the internal door should have a minimum surface area of 7600 mm2
- At least 10 mm gap under a standard internal door with a width of 760 mm
- Do not cover the openings as this will disturb air circulation
● Recommended duct thickness depending on ambient temperature:

1.12. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION!
It Is absolutely necessary to disconnect the control panel from power supply before performing any
maintenance operations.
ATTENTION!
Do not use corrosive chemicals and solvents during any maintenance work.
Filter replacement/cleaning
Fouled filters increase air flow resistance which reduces the amount of air supplied to the rooms, and increases power
consumption by the fans.
The filters should be cleaned as they become dirty, but at least 3-4 times per year. It is permitted to clean the filters with
a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning twice, the filters should be replaced with new ones.
Optionally the air handling unit can be equipped with a pre-filter to extend the life of the fine filters. The pre-filter should
be rinsed under running water and then dried before re-insertion, as it is reusable.
Filter replacement procedure
● Remove the filter caps (1);
● Remove the pre-filters (2) – optional;
● Remove the M5/F7 filters (3);
● Install new or cleaned filters according to the above diagram in reverse order.
● Reset the dirty filter counter in the control panel menu.
CAUTION: When replacing the filters, make sure the arrow points in a direction compatible with the air flow.
Heat exchanger maintenance (annually)
Even with regular filter maintenance, dust deposits can form in the unit. In order to maintain high heat transfer efficiency,
the heat exchanger should be cleaned regularly. Remove the heat exchanger from the main unit and wash it with warm
water solution of neutral detergent, then reinstall the dried heat exchanger.

________________________________________________________________
AQUILA 305 Instruction Manual

Heat exchanger/fan cleaning procedure
● Remove the locking screws (1);
● Remove the locking screws (1);
● Remove the heat exchanger snap-in shield (2);
● Remove the fixing screws (3);
● Remove the exchanger bracket (4);
CAUTION: For the ceiling mounting, the exchanger can slide out after unscrewing the bracket!
● Remove the drip trays (5)
● Remove the heat exchanger (6) completely and rinse with running water (reassemble after drying);
● After cleaning, assemble the unit according to the above diagram in a reverse order.
Maintenance of the condensate drain system (once a year)
The condensate drain system (drain pipe) may be contaminated by particles from the evacuated air. Check the function of
the drain pipe, by filling the drain tank with water and, if necessary, removing dirt from the drain trap and drain pipe.
Maintenance of air intake and exhaust ducts (twice a year)
Leaves and other impurities can clog ventilation grates and reduce both the efficiency of the unit and air flow. Check the
intake/exhaust grille twice a year and clean it, if necessary.
Maintenance of the air ducting (every 5 years)
Even if all the aforementioned maintenance activities of the air handling unit are performed properly, dust deposits may
build up inside the air ducts, which reduces the air handling unit's efficiency. Air ducts are maintained by periodic cleaning
or changing them.
1.13. PRE-HEATER / SECONDARY HEATER
The air handling unit has a feature for controlling the preheater and reheater fitted externally of the unit. Connect these
heaters according to the diagram in Chapter 3.
Caution: The preheater installed upstream of the unit must come with a device that will prevent the temperature of the
intake air that enters the main unit from exceeding 50°C.
CAUTION: If no preheater is installed, switch off the supply fan for defrosting.

2. NANO COLOR CONTROL PANEL
2.1. OPERATION PRINCIPLE
The NANO COLOR determines the set room temperature and ventilation performance based on the selected
operating program.
Possible programs:
● By clock zones. You can set up two Comfort operation zones and one Out of Home zone (no is one in the apartment).
Outside of these zones the Economy zone applies.
● Holiday mode. As above, but according to a separate daily program.
● Manual mode. One manually set temperature and one ventilation rate apply all the time.
● Out of Home. The settings as for the Out of Home zone apply all the time. This mode can only be set with the
thermostat number 1. The other thermostats adopt this mode from the thermostat number 1. Cooling in the Out of
Home program is turned off.
The set and ventilation temperature can still be affected:
● Enabling the URLOP mode. The thermostat and ventilation work as in the Out of Home mode.
● The Out of Home EXT signal, e.g. the one coming from a control panel. The thermostat and ventilation work as in the
Out of Home mode.
The difference between the HOLIDAY and the Out of Home in NANO 1 and Out of Home in the EXT software lies in different
interpretation of these states by the remaining equipment, e.g. the HOLIDAY mode switches off the DHW generation in
boiler controllers and heat pumps, while solar collectors stop accumulating heat and switch to the collector overheating
protection mode.
All of the above modes can only be set to NANO number 1. NANO1 then transfers them to the other NANOs and other
devices.
NANO COLOR can work in one of the three system operation modes:
● WINTER - NANO COLOR functions as the heating thermostat. The related equipment tends to achieve the set
temperature in the room, e.g. switching on the heating. The ventilation heats up the supplied air to the appropriate
temperature. The particular reaction depends on the configuration of the related equipment
● SUMMER – heating and cooling functions are off
● COOLING – heating is off. NANO COLOR functions as the cooling thermostat. The related equipment tends to cool the
room to the set temperature, e.g. by switching on fan coils, supply air cooler, opening the recuperator BY-PASS if the
conditions so require. The HOLIDAY, Out of Home and Out of Home EXT modes block the cooling operation.
The system operation mode can be changed manually or can change automatically depending on the outside
temperature.
2.2. INSTALLATION
General
The work related to connecting and assembling should only be carried out by persons with the appropriate qualifications
and permissions, and in line with the valid standards and regulations.
NOTE: Any connection work must only be carried out when the supply voltage is isolated, make sure that the electrical
conductors are isolated.
Power supply
The NANO COLOR control panel should be powered directly from AERO 4 controller outputs marked with “U” and “G”
symbols (12 VDC)
Connecting
The NANO COLOR control panel should be wired with a conductor of the minimum cross-section of 0.5 mm2 according to
the diagram in section CONNECTION DIAGRAMS. The minimum distance between conductors connecting the panel with
the module and other devices connected to the C14 network and parallel conductors supplied with 230 VAC is 30 cm. A
shorter distance may cause communication interference or damage to the device.
The following figure shows an example of a C14 network connection.
NOTE: In order to ensure smooth data transmission it is necessary to install a ferrite
filter on the power and communication wires between the AERO module and the
NANO COLOR thermostat. When leading the conductors through the filter loop them
around the ring as shown in the photo at the side.
