Symbols, terms and warnings
Prohibition symbol Failure to observe instructions marked with a prohibition symbol
may result in serious or fatal injury.
Danger symbol Failure to observe instructions marked with a danger symbol
may result in personal injury and/or damage to the unit.
Scope This instruction manual is for use with EXHAUSTO VEX-type air handling units.
Please refer to the product instructions regarding accessories and extra equip-
ment.
The instructions must be fully observed to ensure personal safety and to protect
the equipment and ensure its correct operation. EXHAUSTO A/S accepts no liabil-
ity for accidents caused by equipment not used in accordance with the manual’s

been disconnected at the isolation switch and the ventilators
have stopped.
Prohibited The VEX unit must not be used to transport solid particles or in
areas where there is a risk of explosive gases.
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 (in accordance with EN 294).

dle. Remember to remove the key
from the lock.
● Or use a padlock. Use the han-
dle’s built-in padlock fixture.

1.3 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.
1.4 Location requirements
Positioning The air handling unit is designed for indoor fitting. The air handling unit can be or-
dered for outdoor installation (accessory Outdoor, OD).

1.4.1 Spatial requirements
The drawing below indicates how much space is needed for servicing, replacing fil-
ters, cleaning, etc.
1550
755
805
RD11665-01
NB: A free height of at least 200 mm is required above the unit’s connection box.
1.4.2 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:
● level
● horizontal (±3 mm per metre
● hard
● vibration-resistant
1.4.3 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.
3005039-2018-01-08 Product information

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 with accessories (as indicated in the checklist on the front page of
the instructions)
Packaging The unit is delivered attached to 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
2.2.1 Weight
The unit weighs 267 kg
Transport equip-
ment
Transport the VEX unit in one of the following ways:
Method Drawing

Method Drawing
Using pallet truck or
fork-lift truck:
Lift the VEX unit on the
disposable pallet.
IMPORTANT: If the
disposable pallet can-
not be used, the forks
on the lifting equipment
must be long enough
to prevent damage to
the bottom of the unit.
RD12463-01
Crane:
Never lift the
VEX unit
with the lift-
ing brackets
by using a
crane.
Use straps and lifting
yokes to prevent dam-
age to the unit.

2.2.2 Passage through openings
Height The unit's height is 1,167 mm
Width The list (below) shows how wide an opening has to be for the unit to pass through:
If the opening width is* Then
Less than 815 mm the unit will not pass through
Between 815 and 868 mm remove doors, see relevant section
Greater than 868 mm the unit can pass through
* Measurements are based on the exact dimensions of the VEX unit.

3. Mechanical assembly
3.1 Installing the unit
Description The VEX unit is installed so that it is horizontal.
3.1.1 Installed directly onto the floor
The requirements for the floor surface must be met, see the section entitled "Re-
quirements for underlying surface", chapter 1.
NB After installation, check the VEX unit is completely level.
3.1.2 Installing on mounting base
The EXHAUSTO mounting base enables the air handling unit to be installed correct-
ly. 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
diagram no. 3002646 for installing on the mounting base.

Recommended in-
tervals
The following chart details the recommended maintenance intervals, under normal
operating conditions. EXHAUSTO recommends maintenance is adjusted to suit
the actual operating requirements.
Component Procedure Once a
year
Twice a
year
Filters* Recommended that both filters are replaced at the
same time.
Filters should be replaced at least: X
Filter monitor Check that all the seals in the filter monitor are
tight.
X
Seals and sealing strips Check that all the seals are tight. X
Fans and heating coil (ac-
cessories)
Check
Removal of fan unit. See section "Internal trans-
port with reduced weight"
Cleaning. See next section
X
Rotary heat exchanger Check
Clean when required. See next section.

*Filters Only use original filters
● The provided filter data and pressure loss graphs (section "Technical data")
are based on the use of original filters
● EUROVENT certification is only valid if original filters are used
● Use of non-original filters may cause leakage in the VEX and impair filter
function
● EXHAUSTO recommends that you register the filter replacement date to en-
sure filters are replaced at the correct intervals
5.2 Service
5.2.1 Filter change
Use original filters Only use original filters. See section "Maintenance chart".
Disconnect power at the isolation switch before opening the
door.
Pull the filters out. Remember to check the flow direction - see the arrows on the
filter.
Discarded filters must be stored immediately in sealed plastic bags and disposed
of responsibly.
