IDENTIFICATION OF THE DELIVERED MODEL
The NBS series of air-conditioning units consists of two model
series: the modular NBS-100 and the compact NBS-150.
Register (a): Option of installing a single register (cooling or
heating) or two registers (cooling and heating). They consist
of copper pipes, aluminium ribs, a ventilation system and a
steel frame. The water connections are located on the right-
hand or left-hand side.
Motorised fan (b): Double-sided intake-operated dynamically
balanced centrifugal blower with forward bent blades. With 5
speed levels (NBS-100) and with 3 speed levels (NBS-150).
Filter (c): Has filter of efficiency ISO Coarse (ISO 16890) and
consists of a galvanised steel frame and a synthetic filter
medium.
Housing of the -100 series (d): Made of of galvanised sheet
steel profiles and plates and heat and sound insulation 12
mm in thickness. It is equipped with mounting brackets for
ceiling fastening.
Housing of the -150 series (e): Consists of aluminium profiles,
galvanised sheet steel, plastic corner pieces and a
circumferential seal to guarantee tightness. The covers in
sandwich design consist of a heat and sound insulation of 28
mm. The vibration dampers should be dimensioned on the
basis of the weight of the device, divided by the number of
fastening points.

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Prior to installation or commissioning of the device, the
following operating conditions must be observed:
--- Coolant or heating fluid: water or glycols (ethylene or
propylene) at a concentration below 60%.
--- Water inlet temperature: from 6 to 45°C.
--- Max. air outlet temperature: 40 °C
--- Max. operating pressure: 8 bar
--- Maximum relative humidity in the environment: 60%
To prevent deposits and corrosion, the quality of
the water for filling the registers must comply with
regulations VDI 2035 and DIN 50930.
MATERIAL RECEPTION
Upon reception of the materials, the components must be
carefully checked, in order to guarantee that no transport
damage has taken place.
Moreover, the dimensions, composition and number of the
identification sticker must be checked as to whether they are
as ordered.

STORAGE
If the device is not installed immediately after its reception, it
must be stored according to the following instructions:
--- The device must be stored at a dry, clean, safe location
where no damage to the device can occur, i.e., outside
corrosive atmospheric influences.
--- Leave the protections attached ex works (film, tapes,
pallets, etc.) on the device, unless they have already been
removed beforehand.
--- Cover the device with tarpaulins, in order to protect it
from dust, moisture and extreme temperatures.
--- Rotate the fan rotor at regular intervals.
--- Protect the electric components adequately. In case of
storage over a prolonged period of time, remove the
electric unit and store it at a dry location.
--- Entries, openings and pipes must be hermetically sealed
with dust caps.
MOUNTING POSITION
The devices must not be installed in places with extreme
moisture (e.g. laundries or swimming pools), with high dust
formation, outdoors or in places subject to explosion hazards.
For correct installation, the following instructions must be
followed:
--- Make sure that places that are intended as openings for
air admission and air discharge are free of pipes, electric
cables, crossbeams, stands, etc.
--- Install the unit at a site that has good air quality.
--- Make sure that wall and ceiling correspond to the weight
of the device and also allow correct mounting of the
fastening elements.
--- Make sure that there is sufficient clearance distance to
the wall and no obstacles are present on the outside of
the wall that could impair optimum air circulation (plants,
furniture, curtains, etc.).
--- Install the device such that the air flow is not directed
directly at persons staying there.
--- The installation site must have sufficient space and the
necessary resources for carrying out mounting and
maintenance activities of all device components.

INSTALLATION
The NBS units have been designed for mounting on the
ceiling by means of anchoring elements (e.g. set screws). To
avoid damage to the unit and structure-borne noise
transmission, it is also recommended using vibration
dampers.
The device must be mounted at an inclination of
0.5 % - 1 % to ensure draining of the water of
condensation. Non-observance of the device
inclination may result in serious damage to the
device and cause water to enter the air ducts.
Check whether the condensate pan is completely
emptied by partly filling it.
The threaded rods, screws or vibration damping
fixing elements required for installation are not
included in the delivery. The vibration dampers
should be dimensioned on the basis of the weight
of the device, divided by the number of fastening
points. SCHAKO cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from faulty installation or the use of
unsuitable fastening devices.
Before making electric or hydraulic connections, the
power supply must be disconnected and secured
against being switched on again.
For the installation of the device, use adequate
tools, devices and materials and observe the safety
regulations and other current regulations.

CONNECTING THE SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Before assembling the individual sub-assemblies, their
condition must first be checked.
This is followed by arranging the modules in the same order
in which they are to be assembled. This is followed by moving
them next to each other, arranging them and finally joining
them using the screws and nuts enclosed with the unit by
passing them through the lateral or bottom openings of the
modules.
As standard, i.e., without express order, the assembly of the
sub-assemblies takes place ex works.

Supply air and return air boxes
In the NBS-100, the plenum boxes are connected as follows:
--- Place the plenum box in front of the main element (flange
or flexible connection) it is supposed to be connected to
and align them.
--- Screw down both, making sure to obtain a firm
connection.
In the NBS-150, the plenum boxes, after prior alignment, are
mounted by screwing them to the flange of the main unit.

Connecting the air ducts
The NBS (if specified in the
order) is equipped with a
mounting frame for attaching
the air duct. For plenum boxes
with connection spigot, the air
ducts are mounted by means
of clamps, fishplates or the like.
To give the system greater tightness, it is
recommended using seals on the air ducts.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
Upon customer request, the water
connection to the registers can be
established in air flow direction on
the left or right-hand side of the
unit. The water inlet is at the
bottom and the water outlet at
the top.
The pipe connections of the device should be
insulated on-site to prevent the formation of
condensates.
The register threads correspond to standard EN
10226:
Heating: external pipe thread EN 10226 R1/2.
Cooling: external pipe thread EN 10226 R 3/4.
The registers are equipped ex works with a manual bleed
valve. Any further devices for ventilation must be provided
on-site.
If flexible connections are to be used, observe the bend
radius specified by the manufacturer.
When making the hydraulic connections, suitable
tools must be used, to avoid a rotation or other
movements of the register connection and
excessive tightening of the connections.
Avoid putting the register connections under stress
as a result of the weight of the connection pipes.
If the unit is to be installed at a
location having temperatures
below zero degrees, glycol must
be admixed to the coolant in a
suitable ratio, to prevent the
coolant from becoming frozen.
Please note that the use of an antifreeze results in a loss in
efficiency of the register.
Use the ventilation devices to ensure that no air
remains in the water circuit.
For operation with external air, appropriate
measures must be taken on-site to guarantee that
the registers cannot freeze.

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
Prior to the electrical installation, you have to make sure that
the rated mains voltage is 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz and is single-
phase.
SCHAKO recommends the exclusive use of copper cables,
since the device connections have not been designed for
accommodating other types of cables. If they are used
nevertheless, galvanic corrosion or generation of heat could
take place at the connection point, thus resulting in damage
to the unit.
The electric connections must be made by qualified
electricians only, observing the current standards and
regulations as well as the low-voltage regulations.
Connect the NBS via an earthing cable.
SCHAKO cannot be held liable for faulty electrical
connections or if the power supply cable is replaced
with a different cable having different
characteristics.
According to DIN EN 60335-1, an all-pole
disconnecting device must be provided by the
customer,
