FIXING CASED UNIT TO OUTSIDE WALL & ATTACHING WALL SLEEVE/ATTENTUATOR
View on rear of unit
1. Before fixing the unit to the external
wall. Attach the outer section (Part A) of
the telescopic wall sleeve/attenuator to
the fixed spigot on the back (or rear) of
the Innovair unit. The sleeve should be
attached using self tapping screws No.8
or duct tape.
2. Offer the unit up to the fresh air
aperture (already cut into the external
wall) making sure that the outer section
(Part A) freely slides inside of the wall aperture. Fix the unit to the wall via 4 off
fixing lugs with suitable screws.
3. From outside, slide the inner section of the telescopic wall sleeve/attenuator
(Part B, flange on outside of wall) as far into part A as the wall thickness will allow.
Seal the joint inside of the two halves of the sleeve using ‘duct tape’ or similar.
4. Before fitting the external weatherproof grille, un-wind the cable of the fresh air
sensor, located within the Innovair unit (fresh air aperture) and position the sensor
just inside of the external weatherproof grille. Failure to position the sensor behind
the grille may prevent accurate operation of the unit.
5. Fix the weatherproof grille (usually supplied by others) to the outside wall.
6. Feed the water pipework (if applicable) through either of the two appertures
provided in the back or base of the unit casing. Connect pipework to the 2 open
ports of the control valve. Ensure flow and return pipework corresponds to the
flow and returns on the valve.

STAGES INVOLVED
Figure 8 shows a typical chassis type unit suitable for mounting within a ceiling
void. The following notes give instruction on how the unit is dismantled,
connected to the fresh air, return air and supply air ducts and re-assembled. See
additional sections within the installation instructions for connection to electrical
supply and controls.
Most components used in the manufacture of the chassis unit are the same as
the cased unit. The main exception being that there are no moulded end panels
and that the return air & discharge apertures have fixed spigots (not grilles).
Care should be taken not to damage components and accessories when
handling them.
Before installing the unit check that there will be adequate access space for
maintenance (recommended 300mm each side).

CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROL PAD TO THE UNIT
The remote room controller supplied with the unit should be connected to the
designated connection points on the provided terminal block on the control
panel using Non Screened 16/0.2mm (0.5mm2) cable. Cable ties and cable
glands are provided to secure cables. The number of cable cores will depend on
the type of room controller as detailed below.
THIS CONNECTION IS VOLTAGE FREE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO ANY
OTHER VOLTAGE SOURCE.
The Model TB/TS-BIDDLE wall mounted controller for temperature sensing only,
requires 2 cores connected to terminals numbered 1 –2.
The Model TB/TS/K-BIDDLE for manual heating & automatic / no ventilation
adjustment requires 3 cores connected to terminals 1, 2 & 3 only.
Cables must be connected to both the terminal block located inside the unit
control panel and the remote control pad using the identically numbered
terminal.
See the unit wiring diagrams (page 13/14) and installation instructions supplied
with the control pad for details.

Page 18 v2.1
Connecting Units As Master/Slave
Connect the remote control pad to the unit designated as the Master unit as
described above (this unit will automatically detect it when powered up and
configure as the master). Units without a control pad will assume a salve status
when no room pad can be found.
Master and slave units should be connected via a Belden 9841 (or equivalent)
cable to the terminals labelled BACnet. Please daisy chain all positive terminals
together and all negatives together.
Do not connect units to a BMS network or another master/slave setup using this
configuration. Up to 10 slaves can be linked to a single master.

Page 19 v2.1
Section 3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS -
continued
CONNECTING THE UNIT TO A BMS
Please refer to the Innovair Engineering Guide for details on how the unit can be
connected to a BMS network.
CONNECTING THE UNIT TO A TIMER CLOCK OR P.I.R. Sensor
Unless using a BMS (or other supervisory system) to enable the unit, the unit is
controlled by linking across the Timer terminals on the main terminal strip in the
unit where linked = ‘on/occupied’.
Connections should be made on site to either a PIR, low water temperature stat
(used in conjunction with a Summer/Winter switch) or other volt free contacts.
When connecting a low water stat, follow the below instructions. You should
include a summer/winter switch in the design to allow the unit to operate in
Summer when there is no hot water available.
Using the typically supplied Siemens RAM1 –connect terminals 1 and 3 to
the Timer connections (note polarity doesn’t matter).
Connect the summer/winter switch in parallel across the T4. It is
recommended that in public spaces, this switch is located discretely so it
isn’t tampered with.
Fix the RAM1 to the supply side of the pipework - not the unit side.
Tidy all wiring up
When connecting a PIR sensor:
Please refer to the PIR sensor manufacturer’s documentation –the
contacts MUST be volt free.

CONNECTING THE UNIT TO AN EXTRACT & OR SUPPLY FAN
SYSTEM (Single phase supply & running current no greater than
8amps)
Where an extract fan or additional supply fan is required in the system, the
on/off control of this device can be enabled via the Innovair units. This is
achieved using the extract fan relay controlled via the IQeco. The relay will
stay energised for as long as the damper is cycling –note that it won’t just
energise when the damper is open. The relay is provided mounted and wired
inside of the Innovair control panel for connection on site using 3 core mains
cable size 1.0mm2cable.
Important:
The maximum electrical ratings for the external device (i.e. Extract Fan) are
as follows:
8A 250V AC1
3A 250V AC11
8A 24V DC1
INTEGRAL CO2SENSOR
The Biddle supplied CO2sensor comes fitted to the front of the unit behind the
recirculation inlet. For installations where the unit is to be exposed to the room
air, this is sufficient. However for installations where the unit isn’t directly
exposed (such as a recessed unit above a suspended ceiling) the sensor is
supplied on a 3m flexible lead to allow for remote positioning in the space’s
air.
THE CO2SENSOR CONNECTIONS ARE VOLTAGE FREE AND SHOULD NOT BE
CONNECTED TO ANY OTHER VOLTAGE SOURCE.
