UNIT DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The metal casing of the Altero unit is equipped with two fans and a damper with an electric actuator. The damper closes the supply
or exhaust ducts, depending on the fan operation mode - “supply” or“exhaust”. The damper and fans are controlled by the controller.
A control unit box is installed on the side panel of the casing for connecting the power supply and external devices. The Altero unit
incorporates LED indication. Green light - operation indication, red light - alarm indication. The LED is located on the control unit.
Alarms are accompanied by an audio signal. There is a maintenance cover on the bottom of the casing for unit maintenance. There
are four mounting brackets installed on the casing.

The reversible fan supplies fresh air to the room and extracts humid air from the room.
• Fresh air is delivered to the room with the supply fan in the Supply mode: the extract fan is turned off, the exhaust air duct is
blocked by a damper. The air supply mode is activated by supplying 230 V/120 V to the S, Pterminals or 24 V to the S, Uterminals
(see the example of the wiring diagram).
• Extract air is removed by the extract fan in the air extraction mode: the supply fan is off, the supply duct is blocked by a damper.
The air extraction mode is activated by supplying 230 V/120 V to the E, Hterminals or 24 V to the E, Xterminals (see the example
of the wiring diagram).
The air extraction mode has priority over the air supply mode.

WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
The fan is designed for suspended ceiling mounting, wall mounting is also allowed at any angle relative to the fan axis. The fan
mounting is carried out at 4 points with mounting brackets. It is recommended to use anchor threaded rods with nuts and anti-
vibration rubber for fastening the fan to the ceiling. Fasteners for fan mounting are not included in the delivery set and should be
ordered separately. While choosing fasteners consider the material of the mounting surface as well as the weigh of the fan, refer to
the Technical Data section. Fasteners for unit mounting should be selected by the service technician.

WARNING!
To get the best performance of the unit and to minimize turbulence-induced air pressure losses, connect the straight air duct section
to the spigots on both sides of the unit while installing. Minimum straight air duct length: equal to 1 air duct diameter on intake side
equal to 3 air duct diameters on outlet side
If the air ducts are too short or not connected, protect the unit parts from ingress of foreign objects. To prevent uncontrollable access
to the fan the spigots may be covered with a protecting grille or other protecting device with mesh width not more than 12.5 mm.

POWER OFF THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS WITH THE UNIT.
THE UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED TO POWER SUPPLY BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
THE RATED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE UNIT ARE GIVEN ON THE
MANUFACTURER’S LABEL.
• The unit is rated for connection to 1~120 V/60 Hz power mains, depending on the model, according to the wiring diagram.
• The unit must be connected to power mains using insulated electric conductors (cables, wires). The actual wire cross section
selection must be based on the maximum load current, maximum conductor temperature depending on the wire type, insulation,
length and installation method.
• The external power input must be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker built into the stationary wiring to open the electric
circuit in case of overload or short-circuit. The circuit breaker installation place must provide quick access for emergency shutdown
of the unit. The trip current of the automatic circuit breaker must exceed the maximum current consumption of the unit (refer to
the technical data table). The recommended trip current of the circuit breaker is the next current in the standard trip current row
following the maximum current of the connected unit. The automatic circuit breaker is not included in the delivery set.
Access to the control unit
To access the control unit, undo the screws securing the
removable electric mounting plate and pull it towards you until
it stops.
Pull the power cable through the glands on the side of the
control unit and make the electrical connections as shown in
the wiring diagram.

The fan air flow in the Supply mode is controlled by means of a DIP switch with an integrated cyclic timer, alternating time of operation
and downtime of the fan every 60 min. The DIP switch is located on the control board.
Using the table, select the desired running time and downtime of the fan for a period of 60 min and set the DIP switch levers to the
appropriate position.

The unit must undergo technical maintenance 3 to 4 times a year. They include general cleaning of the unit and the following
operations:
1. Fan maintenance (once a year).
Some dust may accumulate inside the fans and reduce the fan performance and supply air flow.
Clean the fans with a cloth or a soft brush. Do not use water, aggressive solvents, or sharp objects as they may damage the impeller.
2. Technical maintenance of air duct system (every 5 years).
Even regular fulfilling of all the prescribed above maintenance operations may not completely prevent dirt accumulation in the air
ducts which reduces the unit capacity. Duct maintenance means regular cleaning or replacement.
3. Control unit maintenance (if necessary).
The control unit maintenance must be performed by an expert qualified for unassisted operations with electrical installations with the
voltage up to 1000 V after careful reading of the user's manual.
UNIT CONTROL
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONS!
ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS SWITCHED OFF FROM THE SUPPLY MAINS BEFORE
