The following general guidelines are important:
Follow the safety instructions to prevent injuries and damage to the motor fans.
The technical characteristics described in this manual may not be changed.
The motorised fans must not be modified.
The motorised fans must be supplied with a single phase AC supply of 230 V / 50 Hz.
So that the installation complies with EC directives, the INITIA 225 must be connected to the electricity
grid according to current standards.
The device must be installed so that under normal operating conditions, there is no risk of contact with
moving parts and power.

2 Technical information
2.1 General information
The INITIA 225 ensures optimum ventilation of a house with a maximum energy recovery. It draws air
from the rooms (bathroom(s), toilet, kitchen and wash room(s)) and supplies fresh air through the main
rooms (living room, bedroom (s), office, etc ).

fresh
and

air

introduced. Thanks to the high-efficiency heat exchanger used in the INITIA 225 performance can reach
95%.
Condensation forms during the heat exchange process and is recovered in the condensate tray, which
must be connected to a waste water drain.
The INITIA has a 100% heat exchanger bypass system and this allows the introduction of fresh air at
night without it being heated by contact with warm air accumulated in the house during the day. The
system operates automatically or can be used manually (see section 5-2).

Fresh air intake
This spigot is to connect the supply duct of fresh air from outside.
To prevent condensation it is recommended to use insulated ducts.
Install the fresh air intake (wall or roof) a sufficient distance from any area of high
pollution (trees, exhaust fumes, road, etc).
This duct must be sealed and insulated to prevent condensation on the outside
and inside.
Blowing fresh air into the house:
This spigot is for connecting the duct for blowing warmed fresh air into the house.
