6Installation of unit
At the place of installation, it must be possible to provide impeccable service and
maintenance and the necessary air intake of the built-in air-conditioning, refrigeration and
heat pump units.
When planning the installation site, the guide lines for minimum distances around
the air-conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump manufacturer must be respected.
Suitable options must be created on site for frost-proof draubage if tge
condensate.
Important NOTE:
Please always use the required safety work gear during installation. Due to the
packaging materials and the production process, personal injury may occur, such
as hand injuries. If the soundproof housing is freely accessible, the necessary
measures during assembly should be taken to local conditions to avoid personal
injury.
6.1 Installation site
The following minimum distances to walls must be observed:

Manual VAcoustic housing 12
6.2 Foundation
The foundation must meet the relevant static and sound propagation requirements and
must feature a proper drain for water. It must be level and smooth. The resonance
frequency of the support structure must be distinctly different from the excitation
frequency of the rotating machine components (Heat Pump, Air Conditioning and
Refrigeration system).
An uneven foundation might cause malfunction or jammed panels. Liability is
excluded for damage caused by installation on an uneven surface.
6.3 Installation
All housings are fully assembled at the factory and can easily be set up on a
foundation, such as a strip foundation or concrete slabs on a solid surface- A separate
base frame is usually not necessary, unless it is a roof installation where a special load
distribution is necessary.

Manual VAcoustic housing 13
The base frame and the crane lugs are statically designed and dimensioned so that
the air conditioning, cooling and heat pump devices can be pre-assembled in the
soundproof housing and lifted together with the crane. No liability will be accepted
for any errors or consequences resulting from the fixing and checking of the fixing
of the cross member and the pre-assembly of the air conditioning, refrigeration or
heat pump units.
6.4 Adjusting the feet
The housings can be aligned horizontally on the ground using adjustable feet on the
base frame.
The lock nuts must be retightened on all feet on the construction site
and checked for correct fit and firmness.

Manual VAcoustic housing 15
6.6 Installation of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps
The correct installation position of the air conditioning, refrigeration or heat
pump device is decisive for the fit and function of the sound insulation
housing.
Depending on the type of the Vseries acoustic housing, there are 3options for
installing the refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump device:
1.V series acoustic housing without bottom is put over the air conditioning or
heat pump device as ahood using acrane.
2. The refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump devices are brought into the
acoustic housing from above using acrane.
To do this, the upper lamella package must be removed using quick-release
fasteners, and then the flexible air separation part need to be taken out (screw
connection). The cooling, air conditioning or heat pumps are lifted in.
Afterwards, the upper lamella package and the flexible air separation part must
be reinstalled.

Manual VAcoustic housing 16
3. The refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump devices are inserted into the
soundproof housing.
Then the refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump device to be installed is placed
on a pedestal that is the same height as the cross member (e.g. made of 2-3 wooden
pallets) and pushed horizontally into the soundproof housing:
Align refrigeration, air conditioning or
heat pumps in the middle of the air
separation part

Manual VAcoustic housing 17
It is important that the alignment of the refrigeration, air conditioning or heat
pump device is in the middle of the air separation part.
In order to facilitate the drilling of the housing bushings for pipes and electrical
cables as well as the connection work on the refrigeration, air conditioning or
heat pump device, we recommend dismantling the necessary lamella packs
using the quick-release fastenerswith the special key supplied.
Appropriate pipe and cable bushings can then be drilled into the housing.
Other openings or large cut-outs in the soundproof housing are not permitted, as
this change in the housing entails massive restrictions in terms of the achievable
insertion loss and noise reduction, as well as stability and weather resistance.
The further connection and commissioning work on the air conditioning
refrigeration device is identical to normal installation without asoundproof housing.
Exact separation of the suction and discharge air flow provided by a flexible, tailor-
made, airtight air separator between the upper lamella-pack and the outdoor unit.
The flexible air separator is fixed by the installation company on the outer edge of
the outdoor unit with foam rubber band and tapping screws, included in the
delivery.

7Maintenance and Service
7.1 General
For maintenance and service work on
the refrigeration, air-conditioning or
heat pump unit, the necessary panels
can be easily removed from the
acoustic housing.
Cleaning and maintenance
of the acoustic housing
•Remove other dirt with a
dampcloth; if necessary, use
grease- or oil-dissolving
detergents (concentrated
neutral detergent with pH
between 8 and 9)
•Treat galvanized
parts with
preservation spray.
•Regularly lubricate moving
parts such as panel locks with
a lubrication spray.
•Regularly treat seals
•Repair any damage to the
coating, including areas that
show signs of corrosion, with
repair paint.
•Clean the unit thoroughly to
remove all construction dust
and other dirt.
•Prior to shipping, each unit is
carefully inspected at our
factory.
7.2 Silencers
The sound insulation material of the
silencers should be checked for dust
during major maintenance work and if
necessary, cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner.
The surface and inside of the
backdrop must not be damaged in
order to prevent water from being
sucked into the foam through
damage / openings on the film
surface.
If necessary, the silencers must be
checked for free passage, as this is
necessary for perfect air circulation and
the function of the installed refrigeration
air conditioning or heat pump unit.
7.3 Air separation
The air separation should be fixed via
the refrigeration, air conditioning or
heat pump unit and must be checked
annually for contamination and
damage. Deposited leaves, paper, etc.
must be removed.
7.4 Drain Pan
The condensate pan and the drain
must be checked for dirt deposits and
cleaned if necessary, in any case
before the heating season.
A separate heating of the condensate
pan is to be decided by the system
manufacturer according to the specific
requirements of the project and the
installed devices.

7.9 Grounding
Depending on the local regulations
and position, we recommend to
carry out a grounding or lighning
protection.
7.10 Test run
After working on the acoustic housing,
the person responsible must ensure
that no person is in the acoustic
housing before it is put into operation
again.
7.11 Removal and disposal
