1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended for the use of the central balanced-flow high efficiency ORKA HR and its peripherals (duc-
twork, vents, controllers).
It is designed to provide clear and safe guidance for the design, installation and use of the product.
The products are constantly evolving and so, Soler & Palau reserves the right to modify this manual without prior
notice.
1.2. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
Warranty
The ORKA HR heat recovery system has two years warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty includes free
delivery of necessary spare parts.
The warranty does not cover:
• Installation and removal costs.
• Defects that, in the opinion of Soler & Palau, are due to improper installation, handling, neglect or accidental damage.
• Those defects that arise as a result from operations or repair performed by a third party without permission from
Soler & Palau.
• To return a defective part, the user should contact their installer.
Liability
ORKA HR is designed for ventilation systems in individual dwellings. Soler & Palau is not responsible for damage
caused by:
• Improper use.
• Normal wear of components.
• Failure to follow the instructions in this manual concerning safety, use and installation.
• The use of parts not supplied by Soler & Palau.
1.3. SAFETY
General health and safety standards
The heat exchanger ORKA HR has been designed to be incorporated into a ventilation system. 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 motorised 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 ORKA HR must be connected to the electricity grid accor-
ding to current national standards.
• The device must be installed so that under normal operating conditions, there is no risk of contact with moving
parts and power.
• The ORKA HR meets legal requirements for electrical equipment.
• Before working on the machine, always turn the power off.
• Use appropriate tools.
• Use the machine only for the purpose for which it is intended.
2. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2.1. INTRODUCTION
ORKA HR ensures optimal ventilation of the house with maximum energy recovery. Stale air is extracted from the
“wet” rooms (bathrooms, toilets, laundry rooms, etc.) and fresh air is supplied into the main “habitable” rooms (living
room, bedrooms,studys,...). Both airflows are filtered before forwarding to the heat recovery unit, where warmth from
the stale, outgoing air is transferred to the cooler incoming airflow. The unit performance can reach:
• HR: 92%
• ST:70%
6
In this exchange, water is generated due to condensation forming as the warm outgoing air rapidly cools. It is essential
that this water is properly drained away from the unit via the supplied condensate drain pipe.
ORKA HR has a 100% bypass that allows fresh air from outside to be introduced directly, without receiving the heat
energy from the extraction air, generating free cooling. It is a manual activation.
2.2. DESCRIPTION
• HR and ST: Extraction: 4 spigots d.80 +spigot d.125.
• HR D150 and STD150: extraction: 1 spigot d.150 and 1 spigot d.125.
• The rest of connections: 3 x d.125 (adapter 125/150-160 supplied for each spigot).

New fresh air inlet:
This spigot is to connect the supply duct of fresh air from outside.
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.
Supply fresh air into the building:
Connected to the air intake duct in the property.
To avoid thermal losses, it is recommended to use insulated ducts for the warmed air.
Extract air from the building:
Connected to the extract duct from the property.
To avoid thermal losses and optimise the performance of the installation, it is recommended to use
insulated ducts for the warm air.
7
Discharge of extract air:
Connected to the discharge duct to the outside
This duct must be well sealed and thermally insulated to avoid condensation
both on the inside and outside.
By-pass:
The 100% by-pass system of the ORKA allows the introduction of cooler fresh air (during the evenings
and in the night) avoiding the heat exchanger and thus without it being tempered by the outgoing
warm air which has accumulated in the house during the day.
Alarm filter change:
The unit has a timer “12 months TIMER” that alerts the user when to change the filters.

SAMPLE “MIXED DISTRIBUTION” ASSEMBLY
The use of flexible duct must be
reduced to short sections and
must be correctly stretched.
It is recommended not to put th RDR flow regulator
on a branch, both in extraction (kitchen)
and in supply (living room) to take advantage of the
peak flow activated by the remote control.

5. CONTROL OF ORKA
5.1. INSTALLATION
5.1a. Airflow selection
The equipment has 2 configurations (A and B) for low speed depending on the connection (see chapter 4). The peak
airflow (high speed) function is common to both configurations.
Peak
5.1b. Alarm change filters
The unit has a timer “12 months TIMER S&P” that alerts the user when to change the filters. It is a movable device
and must be located where the user can view the alarm status.
Pilot
Button
The alarm is timed to activate at 12 months. Once this time has elapsed, the pilot will light up every 10 seconds during
the first 4 days. Subsequently, the flashing will be every 30 seconds for the next 9 days.
When the filters have been changed, the alarm must be reactivated by pressing the button for 5 seconds.
To check the remaining time until the end of the timing, press the button for 3 seconds and the pilot light will illumi-
nate a number of times to the number of months remaining to reach 12 months.
To confirm that the battery has sufficient charge, press the button (<1 second) and the pilot light will illuminate once.
If not, the battery should be replaced with a new one. The remaining time for the alarm activation is saved.
The battery life for normal use is approximately 3 years.
The battery is CR2032 type.
Remove the battery protection for activation.

5.2. DURING USE
The remote control allows the user to:
• Activate the peak airflow
• Activate the by-pass 100%
Low airflow
By-pass OFF
By-pass ON Peak airflow
Low airflow:
Activates the low airflow corresponding to curve A or B depending on the configuration chosen in the
electrical connection.
Peak airflow:
Peak airflow activation.
By-pass (ON/OFF):
By avoiding the exchanger, the 100% ORKA bypass system allows fresh air from outside to be introduced
without being overheated by the outgoing air from indoors, this is mainly recommended in summer to
get free cooling. Manual activation.
6. COMMISSIONING THE ORKA
To start your ORKA unit use the following process:
1. Verify that all system components are correctly installed and connected:
• Fresh air intake duct insulated and connected correctly (Do not use a fresh air intake equipped with insect screen).
• Fresh air and exhaust ducts insulated and connected correctly.
• Fresh air and exhaust vents connected.
• Flow regulators mounted in the right direction (if installed).
• Air outlet using insulated duct and connected to the outside (Using a roof cowl or outlet without an insect screen).
• Insulated flexible ducts taut and large radius bends (if installed).
• Check that the unused spigots on plenums are sealed (if installed).
• Condensation drain well connected (siphon).
• Check that all connections are sealed (on the ORKA, on plenums and vents).
• Check the setting of the power circuit breaker.
2. Turn on the ORKA, checking the selected speed.

7. MAINTENANCE
In order to take advantage of the equipment’s services throughout its useful life, it is essential to carry out mainte-
nance tasks correctly.
• Every 12 months: change the filters.
The supply filter M5 can be replaced by a G4 filter if required (sold as an accessory).
Alarm Reset of the filter change (see chapter 5.1 B)
• Every 24 months: remove dust from inside of the heat recovery unit with a vacuum cleaner.
((
• Every 6 months: clean the extraction spigots of kitchen and bathroom with warm water and soap.
8. PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE AND RECYCLING
EEC legislation and our consideration of future generations mean that we should always recycle materials
where possible; please do not forget to deposit all packaging in the appropiate recycling bins. If your devi-
ce is also labeled with this symbol, please take it to the nearest Waste Management Plan at the end of its
servicable life.
