11. . IntroductionIntroduction
The subject of this installation manual is F utura - venti l ati on uni t wi th heat and moistur e recoveryF utura - venti l ation uni t wi th heat and moi sture recovery , which is designed for controlled
ventilation and treatment of the indoor environment of residential premises. The heat recovery unit ensures recovery of heat and moisture,
filters supplied air and helps maintain optimum air humidity. In summer, it provides additional cooling in the night mode thanks to an integrated
automatic bypass.
Before proceeding to the entire installation and commissioning of the heat recovery unit, read this Installation Manual carefully. It is intended
for trained professionals with appropriate qualifications. The Installation Manual contains explanations concerning basic configuration of the
unit, its assembly, installation, settings and maintenance.
Pay attention to all specifications and instructions included in this manual and follow them accordingly. This is the only way of ensuring proper
and safe operation of the heat recovery unit.
This device complies with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1253/2014 with regard to ecodesign requirements for ventilation units and
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1254/2014 with regard to energy labelling of residential ventilation units.
ANY CHANGES RESULTING FROM TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT ARE RESERVED. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF THIS
INSTALLATION MANUAL ANYTIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

33. . Safety instructionsSafety instructions
Always follow the safety instructions that are included in this Installation Manual. Failure to observe them may result in an injury or damage to
the heat recovery unit.
The unit has been developed and manufactured to provide controlled ventilation in residential buildings.
The unit may only be used for purposes for which it has been developed and manufactured and within its adequate technical possibilities –
in line with conditions defined by its manufacturer, its design, construction and technical condition while complying with safety regulations.
The heat recovery unit must be installed in compliance with general and local safety regulations.
The heat recovery unit may only be installed, connected, commissioned and maintained by an authorized service technician with respective
professional qualifications. A service technician is a person with adequate qualification, experience and knowledge of respective regulations
and standards as well as possible risks and dangers.
Conductors connected to the equipment must be laid in such a way so as not to be exposed to mechanical damage and harmful
environmental effects and not interfere with the use of the premises where the unit will be installed.
The unit may be operated only by physically and mentally apt persons that have thoroughly read and understood the Installation and User
Manual. The manuals must be stored in an accessible place.
Do not change or modify the heat recovery unit in any way!
The unit cannot be used while there is still an ongoing construction work in the building. The unit must be installed and commissioned in a
finished and clean building.
The heat recovery unit is designed for joint operation with a fireplace only when the fireplace is suitable for passive buildings, has a sealed
fireplace insert and its own air supply.
Joint operation with a fireplace is possible only if relevant safety and fire regulations are followed. Such operation requires setting and
using the Overpressure function (see User manual: Heat recovery unit functions).

Do not remove the packaging from the heat recovery unit until right before the installation. In case you interrupt the installation, make sure the
flanges on top of the unit are closed to prevent the dust and moisture from entering the unit's interior. The unit is mounted onto a mounting
bracket, which must be fixed to the wall in 4 points (see following picture). Use a technology that is recommended and appropriate for the
surface and material of the wall that the unit will be mounted on.

The heat recovery system is equipped with 4 EPP ∅ 150 mm (6 in) flanges. It is necessary to use (intake/exhaust) EPP pipes both at the air intake
from the exterior and the air exhaust to the exterior to prevent the possibility of unwanted condensation inside the pipes. For indoor air
distribution use Sonotex piping with silencer.

55..22. . Condensate drain connectionCondensate drain connection
In the heat exchanger, the extracted air is cooled by the supplied air causing moisture condensation. Resulting condensed water is drained
towards the siphon. The condensate drain connection is found on the bottom of the heat recovery unit. A siphon, which is connected to the
sewerage system, must be mounted onto the coupling of the condensate drain connection (HT 32 mm (1.26 in) drain pipe).
