1.2 Application
Comfort ventilation EXHAUSTO VEX is used for comfort ventilation tasks.
Operating temperature range for the unit – see section "Technical data".
Prohibited uses The VEX unit is not to be used to transport solid particles or in areas where there
is a risk of explosive gases.
1.3 Location requirements
Positioning The unit is designed for indoor fitting.
1.3.1 Space requirements
The drawing below indicates how much space is needed for opening the doors
and servicing the unit, e.g. changing filters, cleaning, servicing, etc.
840
890
RD10302-02
NB For servicing, the VEX must have a free height of at least 300 mm above the con-
nection box.
1.3.2 Requirements for underlying surface
When fitting the unit directly to an existing surface - i.e. without using the mounting
base (accessory) - the surface must be:
● flat
● level (+/- 3 mm per metre)
● hard
● resistant to vibration
1.3.3 Condensation outlet
A condensation outlet must be installed in the immediate vicinity of the unit. See also
"Mechanical assembly" section.
3004504-2019-08-29 Product information
8/32

1.3.4 Requirements for duct system
Silencers The duct system must be fitted with silencers specified by the Project Manager,
which meet the requirements of the operating area.
Bends A duct bend may be fitted immediately after the unit, because the airflow in the
spigot has a uniformly moderate speed profile, which results in negligible system
pressure loss.
Insulation The duct system must be insulated against:
● condensation
● sound leakage
● heating/cooling losses
Condensation Condensation in the ducts may occur when the exhaust/outdoor air has high hu-
midity. EXHAUSTO recommends a condensation outlet is also fitted at the lowest
point in the ducts.
Outdoor air intake The outdoor air intake must be dimensioned with sufficiently low airflow to prevent
rain and snow being drawn into the duct system.
No duct connection If one or more of the spigots is not connected to a duct: Fit a
protective net to the spigots with a maximum mesh width of 20
mm.

2. Handling
2.1 Unpacking
Supplied compo-
nents
The following components are supplied:
● VEX unit
● Supplied accessories (as indicated in the checklist on the front page of the in-
structions).
Packaging The unit is delivered on a disposable pallet and packed in clear plastic.
NB Once the plastic has been removed, the unit must be protected against dirt
and dust:
●The covers on the spigots must not be removed until the spigots are
connected to the ventilation ducts.
●Whenever possible, keep the unit closed during fitting.
The unit should be
cleaned before it is
used.
Once the VEX unit is fitted, it must be checked and thoroughly cleaned. All dust,
debris and metal shavings must be vacuumed up.
2.2 Transport
Transport Transport the VEX unit on the disposable pallet. Do not lift it with the spigots or
connection box.
Transport methods Transport the VEX unit in one of the following ways:
Method Drawing
Manual transport:
Lifting brackets for manual trans-
port can be fitted as shown on
the drawing:
RD11116-02
RD11117-02
3004504-2019-08-29 Handling
14/32

Method Drawing
Using pallet truck or fork-lift
truck:
Lift the VEX unit on the disposa-
ble pallet.
IMPORTANT: If the disposable
pallet cannot be used, the forks
on the lifting equipment must be
long enough to prevent damage
to the bottom of the unit.
RD10536-02
Crane:
Never lift the VEX
unit with the lifting
brackets by using a
crane.
Use straps and lifting yokes to
prevent damage to the unit.
RD13392-01
Weight For information about the weight of the unit, see the section "Technical specifica-
tions".
2.2.1 Passage through openings
Height VEX height is 1832 mm + any spigots at top (+62 mm) or bottom (+62 mm).
Width The list below shows how wide the opening has to be for the VEX unit to pass
through:
If the opening width is* Then
less than 900 mm the unit will not pass through.
900–950 mm remove doors, see relevant section.
greater than 950 mm the unit can pass through.
* Measurements are based on the exact dimensions of the air handling unit

2.2.2 Internal transport with reduced weight
Removing the serv-
ice doors
To remove the service doors:
● Open both doors.
● Using a small punch or similar tool, knock the pin out of the top of the door
hinges (A), and lift the doors off.
Detail A RD11097-02

Weight reduction The weight can be reduced during transport by removing service doors, fans and
crossflow heat exchanger. The table below shows the how much weight can be
reduced by removing the various parts.
Parts Weights, VEX160V
Fan, 2 items at 26 kg = 52 kg
Crossflow heat exchanger, 1 item at 51 kg
Doors, 2 items at 24 kg = 48 kg
Total weight 360 kg

16/32

To remove the fan
unit
RD13416-01
Step Action
1 Remove the fixing screw from the sliding rail,
and release the ties on the motor cable.
2 Pull the fan unit out to the stop (two screws)
on the sliding rail.
3 Dismount the motor cable from the motor
control on the sliding panel and pull it to-
wards the motor through the rubber grom-
mets.
4 Remove the two sliding rail screws. The fan
unit can now be lifted off.
Note weight The fan units weigh 26 kg each - requiring two persons to lift
each unit.
Dismounting See section "Maintenance" for instructions for dismounting fans and crossflow
heat exchanger and for removal of filters.

3. Mechanical assembly
3.1 Installation
Description It is important that the VEX is installed on a level surface, as this affects the col-
lection and draining of the condensate.
3.1.1 Installation directly on floor
The requirements for the floor surface must be met, see the section entitled "Re-
quirements for underlying surface".
NB After installation, check the VEX unit is completely level.
3.1.2 Installation on mounting base
The EXHAUSTO mounting base enables the VEX unit to be installed correctly. The
base is equipped with adjustable levelling screws, so that the air handling unit can be
fitted horizontally on a surface that is not level ( +/- 20 mm per metre). See the sepa-
rate instructions for installing the mounting base.
3.2 Condensation outlet
Connection of the condensation outlet must be made by an au-
thorised plumber.
Drain the condensation outlet into a floor gully or similar. The
condensation outlet must be fitted with a water trap. See below.
Risk of frost Where there is a risk of frost: It is recommended to protect the
condensation outlet against frost damage. Fit a SIPHONE electri-
cal heat tracing device on the outlet before the pipes are insula-
ted. For fitting, see the device’s fitting instructions.
3.2.1 Establishment of condensation outlet
Location The following two drawings show examples of how the drain from the condensa-
tion outlet can be established and the correct dimensions for the water trap:

Solution with si-
phon water trap (ac-
cessory)
The siphon water trap is easy to install and service.

RD13442-01
Solution with HT
pipe
Use HT pipe (HT, DN32, DIN4102), if the above solution is not employed (not sup-
plied by EXHAUSTO).
RD10185-02
NB: If the VEX is erected on a mounting base, this will allow sufficient free height for
installing a water trap.
