DANGER Danger due to fire transmission
if an incorrect connection duct is connected to the
ER housing. Always use the correct duct material
for the respective ER housing.
if incorrect ceiling compound is used for exhaust
air systems with an intermediate ceiling (PAM-
GLOBAL RML or ceiling barrier system). Ensure
that the gap remaining between the main duct
and wall or ceiling is fully sealed with non-flam-
mable materials resistant to deformation, such as
concrete, cement mortar or plaster.
if the seal with the brickwork or wall boards is in-
correct. If used outside the shaft, ensure that the
gap remaining between the connection duct and
brickwork/wall boards is fully sealed with non-
flammable materials resistant to deformation,
such as concrete, cement mortar or plaster and
for the wall boards, special fire protection filler.
if the metal exhaust socket is incorrectly connec-
ted to the connection duct. 3 steel blind rivets are
prescribed for the connection with the exhaust
socket. These must not impair the shutter func-
tion. Before commissioning, ensure that the shut-
off shutter moves with ease.
if the metal shut-off shutter is not correctly inser-
ted and screwed down in the exhaust socket.
During installation, it is essential that the shut-off
shutter is correctly positioned and screwed down.
The soldered strut must be correctly inserted and
the shutter must move with ease.
DANGER Risk of injury in case of dam-
aged unit.
Switch the unit off immediately if you discover
damage or faults that could endanger persons or
property.
Prevent from being switched back on until fully
repaired.
WARNING Risk to health if filters are not
replaced or if there are no air filters.
Heavily soiled or moist air filters can accumulate
harmful substances (mould, germs, etc.). This
may also happen if the unit is shut down for an
extended period. If the air filter is missing, the
unit and air ducts become soiled.
Never operate the unit without air filters.
Only use original filters.
Regularly change air filter when a filter change is
indicated (LED or TimeStrip).
If the unit has not been used for a long time, al-
ways replace the air filters.
WARNING Risk of injury when working at
heights.
Use appropriate climbing aids (ladders).
Stability should be ensured, if necessary have
the ladders steadied by a 2nd person.
Ensure that you are standing securely and can-
not lose your balance and that there is no one
under the unit.
WARNING Risk of injury and risk to
health from parts which may affect the ventil-
ation system which are added or modified at a
later date.
Parts (range hood, air-ventilated fireplace etc.)
which are added or modified at a later date may
result in health risks and operation which is not
permitted. Parts may only be added or modified
at a later date if system compatibility is estab-
lished/ensured by a planning office. If using an
exhaust air range hood or air-ventilated fireplace,
this must be accepted by a regional master chim-
ney sweep.
WARNING Risk of injury and health risk
in the event of changes or modifications or if
components which are not permitted are
used.
The unit may only be operated with original com-
ponents. Changes and modifications to the units
are not permitted and release the manufacturer
from any guarantee obligations and liability, e. g.
if the housing is drilled at a point which is not
permitted.

5.1 Environmental conditions and op-
erating limits
• Permissible maximum temperature of air me-
dium + 40 °C.
• The air supply to the home must be set up so
that virtually no air can flow into the living areas
from the kitchen, bathroom or WC.
• A room from which the air is to be extracted
must be fitted with a non-closable, free supply
air cross section of at least 150cm², e.g. with
Maico MLK door ventilation grille.
• ER-UP/Centro units have resistance to interfer-
ence in line with EN 55014-2 (depending on
pulse type and an energy component of 1000 to
4000V). These values can be exceeded when
operating with fluorescent tubes. In this case,
additional interference suppression measures
(L, C or RC modules, protection diodes, varis-
tors) are required.
• Take the risk of draughts into account when
planning by selecting a suitable installation loc-
ation.
5.2 Regulations for operation with
fireplaces
Sufficient supply air intake must be ensured
during operation with air-ventilated fireplaces.
The maximum permitted pressure difference per
residential unit is 4 Pa.
The unit may only be installed in residential units
with air-ventilated fireplaces under the following
conditions:
• the evaluation criteria drawn up by the respons-
ible, regional master chimney sweep are met;
• Parallel operation of air-ventilated fireplaces for
liquid or gaseous fuels and air-extracting equip-
ment can be prevented using safety devices or
• the extraction of exhaust gas from the air-ventil-
ated fireplaces is monitored by special safety
devices. The ventilation system or the fire-
places must be switched off if the equipment is
triggered.

and Requirements in line with approval [}11].
• Always use correct duct material for the hous-
ing.
• For fire protection systems, the gap remaining
between the connection duct and brickwork/wall
boards/wall/ceiling must be fully sealed with
non-flammable materials that are resistant to
deformation (e.g. concrete, cement mortar, fire
protection filler).
NOTICE Damage to unit, malfunctioning in the
event of corrosion damage from mortar.
Wrap ventilation ducts, connected to the unit,
with a suitable adhesive tape to protect against
corrosion inside the brickwork, e.g. using cold-
shrink tape.

duce a wall facing. Ensure a suitable, flat sur-
face for the housing so that the fan insert can
be safely inserted in the housing later on.
2. For a second room connection, produce an
opening in the wall or shaft for the suction
duct. Note permissible housing installation po-
sitions.
3. Correctly attach main duct inside the shaft.
4. For fire protection systems, use ceiling com-
pound. To do this, encase the ceiling and pour
in the material from above.

7.2 Installation information for ER-
UP/ G housing
(also Requirements in line with approval [}11]
and approval)
ER-UP/G are equipped with a plastic housing
without fire protection equipment. The ER-UP/G
housing may be installed in the following installa-
tion positions:
•Wall installation With air outlet direction (ex-
haust socket) upwards, to the right, to the left or
to the rear. Installation with mounting support.
•Ceiling installation and suspended ceiling:
Installation with mounting support.
•Ceiling installation and non-suspended ceil-
ing: Mounting directly on the ceiling.
Suitable mounting material is to be provided by
the customer.
The plastic shutter should be prepared ac-
cording to these instructions so that it closes
fully sealed in the installation position.
The housing must be inserted without any dis-
tortion. Failure to do so will mean that the fan in-
sert cannot engage correctly in the housing and
the degree of protection stated on the rating plate
is no longer ensured.
Break open the housing segment [S] below to use
the ER-ZR second room connection set or the
ER-AS extraction socket.
A toilet seat air extraction unit is connected to the
housing using the ER-AS extraction socket
(DN75/80).
The toilet seat air extraction unit must not
be connected to the second room connection
socket or the Centro exhaust air element.
Use ER-MO expanded rubber for acoustic insula-
tion of thin ceilings capable of resonance (System
and accessory components).
7.3 Important information about
plastering
• Max. compensable plaster overshoot 7mm.
• Max. protruding housing edge 20mm, can be
compensated for with spacing frame DR
60/100.
• Installation at a depth of 50 to 100mm can be
compensated for with the two-part wall frame
ER-MR.
• The gap remaining between the housing and
shaft must be fully sealed with non-flammable
materials that are resistant to deformation so
that incorrect air is not drawn in.
• Joints between the housing and wall can be
covered with cover frame ER-AR.
We recommend keeping these installation
and operating instructions until final installa-
tion in the housing.
