Topvex TR 09, TR12 & TR15 Operation- and maintenance instructions

Warning
In order to avoid electrical shock, fire or other damage that might occur in connection with faulty use and
operation of the unit, it is important to consider the following:
The system must be installed according to the mounting instructions
Insulate mains supply before service or cleaning of the heat recovery unit
Tumble dryer must not be connected directly to the ventilation system
Make sure the filter is mounted in its place before running the system
Maintenance must be performed according to the instructions.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the Topvex should normally be carried out 3 – 4 times a year. Apart from general cleaning the
following should be observed:
1. Changing Supply/Extract air filter, indicates as “Filter guard” in the control panel (fig.3 and 4).
The bag filter cannot be cleaned and must be changed as necessary. New filters can be ordered from Systemair.
Pressure guards monitor Supply and Extract air filters.
Initial pressure drop is approx. for EU7 filters = 80Pa and for EU5 filter = 45Pa.
Final pressure drop is approx. 240 Pa
2. Checking the heat exchanger (Once a year), (fig.1).
After long times use dust may build up in the exchanger and block the airflow. It is vital to clean the exchanger
regularly to maintain high efficiency. The heat exchanger can easily be taken out of the unit. Clean the surface of
the exchanger using a vacuum cleaner with a brush fitting. Take great care not to damage the surface. If
necessary, compressed air may be used to remove dirt.
3. Checking the fans (once a year), (fig.1).
Even if the required maintenance, such as changing of filters is carried out, dust and grease may slowly build up
inside the fan (pos.6 and 12 in fig. 1). This will reduce the efficiency.
The fans may be cleaned with a cloth or a soft brush. Do not use water. White spirit can be used to remove
obstinate settlements. Allow drying properly before remounting.
4. Cleaning extract louvers and inlet diffusers (when necessary)
The system supplies outdoor air to the building and extracts the used indoor air via the duct system and
diffusers/louvers. Diffusers and louvers are mounted in ceilings/walls in bedroom, living room, wet rooms, WC
etc. Remove diffusers and louvers and wash in hot soapy water as required. (Diffusers/louvers must be put back
with their original settings and positions in order not to unbalance the system).
5. Checking the outdoor air intake
Leaves and pollution could plug up the air intake grille and reduce the capacity. Check the air intake grille at least
twice a year, and clean if necessary.
6. Checking the duct system (when necessary)
Dust and grease settlements may build up in the duct system even if filters are changed regularly. This will reduce
the efficiency of the installation. The duct runs should therefore be cleaned/changed when necessary. Steel ducts
can be cleaned by pulling a brush soaked in hot soapy water, through the duct via diffuser/louver openings or
special inspection hatches in the duct system (if fitted).
NOTE! In addition roof cowl must be checked once a year and cleaned as necessary.
