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
See section "Principal dimensions" for positions of VEX unit feet.
1.3.3 Condensation outlet
The condensation outlets from the condensation tray under the heat exchanger and any cooling coil exit
the VEX unit from the front. An outlet for condensation water must be installed in the immediate vicinity of
the VEX unit. See section "Mechanical installation"
NB: To ensure space for the water trap, the VEX unit may be mounted an a base (accessory) or otherwise
raised by min. 135 mm above floor height.
1.3.4 Requirements for duct system
Duct connection To achieve maximum performance and minimal energy consumption, the VEX unit should be connec-
ted to the duct system with a straight duct at least 500 mm long, before and after the unit.
Silencers The duct system must be fitted with silencers specified by the Project Manager, in accordance with the
requirements of the operating area.
Insulation The duct system must be insulated against:
● Condensation
● Sound emission
● Thermal loss
Condensation Condensation in the ducts may occur when the exhaust/outdoor air has high humidity. EXHAUSTO
recommends a condensation outlet is also fitted at the lowest point in the ducts.
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.
