TECHNICAL DATA
The unit is designed for indoor application with the ambient temperature ranging from +1 °C up to +40 °C and relative humidity up to
60 % without condensation. In cold, damp rooms, there is a possibility of freezing or condensation inside and outside the casing.
In order to prevent condensation on the internal walls of the unit, it is necessary that the surface temperature of the casing is 2-3 °C above
the dew point temperature of the transported air.
The unit should be operated continuously, and in cases where ventilation is not necessary, reduce the air flow of the fans to a
minimum (20%). This will ensure a favorable indoor climate and reduce the amount of condensation inside the unit, which can damage
electronic components. Never use the unit for dehumidification, for example, of new buildings.
The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance.
Hazardous parts access and water ingress protection rating:
IP20 for the unit connected to the air ducts.
IP44 for the unit motors.
The unit design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Warm stale extract air from the room flows into the unit, where it is filtered by the extract filter, then air flows through the heat exchanger
and is exhausted outside by the exhaust fan. Cold fresh air from the outside flows into the unit, where it is cleaned by the supply filter.
Then the air flows through the heat exchanger and is directed to the room with the supply fan.
Supply air is heated in the heat exchanger by transferring the heat energy of warm and humid extract air to the cold fresh air. The air
flows are fully separated while flowing through the heat exchanger. Heat recovery minimizes heat losses, which reduces the cost of space
heating in the cold season.
The unit design consists of four blocks rigidly fastened to each other. For maintenance, the unit is equipped with hinged service doors
with locks and service hatches for filter replacement.
Freeze protection is provided in the unit to prevent the heat exchanger from freezing (automatically according to the readings of the
temperature sensors):
• By automatically switching off the supply fan.
• By means of a bypass duct with a bypass damper. The damper automatically opens the bypass air duct, directing the supply air flow
bypassing the heat exchanger.
• By automatically turning the preheater on.
A freezing danger appears if the exhaust air temperature downstream of the heat exchanger is below +5 °C and the intake air temperature
upstream of the heat exchanger is below -3 °C. After increase of the exhaust air temperature the unit reverts to the previous operation
mode.
The difference between the supply and extract air flows temperature leads to condensate generation. Condensate is collected in the
drain pan and is removed outside through the drain pipe.
The control unit inside of the unit enables power supply and connection of the external devices.
Depending on the model, the unit includes a preheater and a reheater (CIVIC EC DBE2 1000) or only a preheater (CIVIC EC DBE 1000) for
warming up of the intake air flow. The preheater prevents freezing of the heat exchanger and is located in the intake air duct upstream
of the heat exchanger. The reheater is located in the supply air duct downstream of the heat exchanger.
The air handling unit has a possibility to connect the following sensors:
• humidity sensor
• CO sensor
• VOC sensor
The unit can be used with a vertical duct connection block.
The vertical connection block is not included in the delivery set and must be ordered separately.

2. Heat exchanger maintenance (once per year).
Some dust may accumulate on the heat exchanger even in case of regular maintenance of the filters. To maintain the high heat recovery
efficiency, regular cleaning is required. To clean the heat exchanger, remove it from the unit and clean the heat exchanger by using
compressed air or a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, re-install the heat exchanger into the unit.
Heat exchanger removal:
1. Disconnect the unit from power mains.
2. Open the middle hinged door of the unit with the key.
3. Loosen the screws securing the protective plates. Then move the plates so that the screw caps match the holes, and remove the plates.
4. Unscrew the screws holding the drain pan and remove it.
5. Unscrew the beam screws and remove it.
6. Unscrew the screws on the shorter retaining plate, remove it and pull the first heat exchanger to remove it from the unit.
Then unscrew the screws on the second plate and remove the second heat exchanger.
7. After technical maintenance install the heat exchangers in the reverse order.
3. Fan maintenance (once per year).
Even in case of regular maintenance of the filters, some dust may accumulate inside the fans and reduce the fan performance and supply
air flow. Clean the fans with a soft cloth, brush, or using compressed air. Do not use water, aggressive solvents, or sharp objects as they
may damage the impeller.
4. Supply air ow control (twice per year).
The supply duct grille may get clogged with leaves and other objects reducing the unit performance and supply air delivery.
Check the supply grille twice per year and clean it as required.
5. Ductwork system maintenance (once in 5 years).
Even regular fulfilling of all the maintenance operations prescribed above may not completely prevent dirt accumulation in the air ducts,
which leads to air pollution and reduces the unit capacity. Duct maintenance means regular cleaning or replacement.
6. Control unit maintenance (if necessary).
The control unit is positioned inside the unit casing. To access the control unit, remove the fixing screws on the panel and remove the
control unit lid.
