Safety
General health and safety standards
Following installation, there should be no risk to safety, health and the environment according to EC
directives. This also applies to other products used in the installation.
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 ).
The
fresh
and
extract
air
flows
are

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.

When the filters are clogged, a red LED (4) appears to warn you to change the filters.
Remove the filter covers (F1= Filter F5 on intake network or F2= Filter G4 on extraction

downstream of the exchanger goes negative. Air intake is reduced. In case of
extremely low temperatures air intake may stop. When the temperature returns to positive,
intake flow returns to 100%.
In regions where temperatures are consistently negative and can drop below -10 º C, it
is advisable to install a preheating coil.
