General information
Introduction
ATTENTION
The unit must be started up immediately after installation and connection to the duct system.
When a ventilation unit is not in operation, humidity from the rooms may penetrate into the
ducts and create condensation. Condensate water may leak out of the valves and damage
furniture and floors. Condensation may also form inside the unit, which can damage its
electronics and fans.
The unit is delivered fully tested and ready for operation.
Type plate
On the right side of the unit you will find the Nilan type plate.
Note: Contact Nilan a/s with questions about the product, it is important to have the unit name and
serial No. (SN) ready. On the basis of this information, please contact service department find all
informations about the relevant aggregate and thus provide information and answer questions about
what the aggregate consists of/contains, as well as the software used.

Service and maintenance
Maintenance
Bypass function
When the current room temperature is above the desired temperature, there is no longer need for heat
recovery. In this situation, open bypasset and leader of outside air past the heat exchanger sober. This
results in lower internal pressure in the unit and you thereby save energy on fan operation.
Maintenance
Nilan’s ventilation units last for many years, but to get the best out of them whilst avoiding
unnecessary electricity consumption, correct maintenance is important.
The following parts require regular maintenance:
• Water trap
• Filters
Water trap
The water trap can dry out and prevent water from draining from the condensate tray, because air will
then blow into the unit. Condensate water will accumulate in the condensate tray. This will eventually
overflow and potentially cause water damage to the surface supporting the unit.
The water trap should therefore be checked regularly and filled with water, especially in the summer
when the risk of the water trap drying out is highest.
The exchanger
The exchanger should be checked for dust and dirt every two years to ensure that air can pass through
unhindered. A blocked exchanger will increase power consumption.

control panel under OPERATION. This is situated in the
main menu SETTINGS
2. The screws loosened in the upper cover and pull the
cover lifted out
3. Remove the two filters from the unit 4. It is advisable that you vacuum the filter chambers for

Service
Annual service
It is important to perform an annual service on the unit to ensure it will continue to perform optimally
with low energy consumption and long service life.
You are recommended to take out a service agreement with the installer, as certain elements of the
service require an authorised technician.
Internal cleaning
For hygienic reasons, it is important that the unit undergoes annual internal cleaning. This will prevent
the formation of fungus and bacteria which impair the internal air quality.
• Wipe down the internal plate parts and pipes with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
• Check and clean the evaporator coil.
• Check and clean the counterflow heat exchanger. If necessary, it may be removed and rinsed with a
shower head.
• Clean the condensate trays with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
• Check the condensate outlet to make sure the water can exit freely.
Check the air intake and outlet
It is important for operation of the unit that air can freely move through the air intake and outlet.
If roof stacks have been fitted to the air intake and outlet, check that they are not blocked with birds'
nests, leaves or other dirt which can hamper air passage.
If, instead of roof stacks, grilles have been mounted in facades or eaves, check that they are not
clogged with leaves or dirt. Grilles are particularly likely to become clogged.
Check ventilation ducts
It is important for operation of the unit that there is free air passage through the ventilation ducts.
After some years of operation, dirt will attach itself to ventilation ducts or tubes, and accumulations
may lead to higher pressure drop in the ducts, leading to higher power consumption. It is therefore
important to clean out the ducts when too much dirt has collected.
After attending to the inlet and outlet valves, it will be advisable to have them adjusted again, to
ensure optimum operation of the ventilation system.
However, it will not be necessary to clean ducts more than every few years.

Air humidity
The primary purpose of ventilation is to extract humidity from the house so it does not damage the
building, and to achieve a good indoor climate. During long periods with sub-zero temperatures, air
humidity in the house may fall to a level that is critical for the building and for the indoor climate.
Wooden floors, furniture and walls can be damaged by very dry air, which also whirls up dust, resulting
in a poor indoor climate.
This is rectified by an integrated humidity control system that maintains good, relative air humidity.
When the average air humidity in the house falls below a set level (default set at 30%), ventilation may
be reduced. It will typically only be for a short period of time. This will help avoid further reduction of
the air humidity in the house.
The humidity control system also has a function that allows increased ventilation, should the air
humidity increase, for instance when having a bath. The risk of mould growth in the bathroom is
reduced, and the bathroom mirror will rarely steam up.
The humidity control system follows the average air humidity level measured over the previous 24
hours. In this way the system automatically adapts to summer and winter conditions.

level, the "Low humidity" function will be activated.
Note! The function is only active in winter mode.
↳Vent.high humidity Settings:
Standard setting:
Description:
Level 2 / Level 3 / Level 4 / Off

ATTENTION
CO2 A CO2 sensor is not a standard part of all units, but may be purchased as an accessory.
If the number of people using a building varies considerably, controlling ventilation through the CO22
level in the extract air may be a good solution. This function is often used in offices and schools where
use varies greatly during the day and during the week.
