Important notes
Air terminal devices AIRNAMIC2

The actual scope of delivery may differ from the
information in this manual for special constructions,
additional order options or as a result of recent
technical changes.
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment must be worn for
any work in order to reduce health or safety haz-
ards to the minimum.
The appropriate protective equipment for a job must
be worn for as long as the job takes.
Industrial safety helmet
Industrial safety helmets protect the head from
falling objects, suspended loads, and the effects of
striking the head against stationary objects.
Protective gloves
Protective gloves protect hands from friction, abra-
sions, punctures, deep cuts, and direct contact with
hot surfaces.
Safety shoes
Safety shoes protect the feet against crushing,
falling parts, and slipping on slippery ground.
Correct use
Air terminal devices are used for the ventilation of
rooms in industrial and comfort areas. The air ter-
minal devices are connected to a supply air or
extract air system (by others), which is typically
connected to an air handling unit.
Air terminal devices supply cold or warm air to
rooms (within the stated supply air to room air tem-
perature differences).
Installation, operation and maintenance may have
to meet increased hygiene requirements for certain
areas of application.
The installation of air terminal devices in humid
rooms, areas with potentially explosive atmos-
pheres or rooms with dust-laden or aggressive air
has to be assessed for each individual case.
Transport and storage
Delivery check
Upon delivery, carefully remove the packaging and
check the unit for transport damage and complete-
ness. In case of any damage or an incomplete ship-
ment, contact the shipping company and your sup-
plier immediately. Put the product back into its
packaging after the delivery check to protect it from
dust and contamination.
Fixing and installation material
Fixing and installation material is not part of the
supply package (unless stated otherwise), but
has to be provided by others; it has to be suitable
for the installation situation.
Transport and storage

Installation
General information
Personnel:
Specialist personnel
Protective equipment:
Industrial safety helmet
Protective gloves
Safety shoes
Installation notes:
Fix the device only to load-bearing structural
elements.
Load suspension systems only with the weight
of the device. Adjacent components and con-
necting ducts must be supported separately.
Use only approved and adequately sized fixing
material (fixing material is not included in the
supply package).
Refer to the technical leaflets for product
weights and dimensions.
The air terminal devices must remain acces-
sible for cleaning even after installation.
Installation and sealing material which the
manufacturer provides is usually supplied in an
extra bag.
Before you install the device, take suitable precau-
tions to protect air distribution components from
contamination during installation (VDI 6022). If this
is not possible, at least cover the devices or take
other precautions to protect them from contamina-
tion. In this case you have to ensure that the
devices cannot be activated. Ensure that all compo-
nents are clean before you install them. If neces-
sary, clean them thoroughly. If you have to interrupt
the installation procedure, protect all openings from
the ingress of dust or moisture.
Installation
Air terminal devices AIRNAMIC6

Ceiling diffusers
It is recommended to suspend plenum boxes for
ceiling diffusers before you put the ceiling tiles into
place; if this is not possible, remove the adjacent
ceiling tiles. Nominal sizes 160 and 250 can be
installed at a later stage if the duct is already in
place.
Use only approved and adequately sized suspen-
sion systems (fixing material is not included in the
supply package). Dimensions and weights are
given in the technical leaflets.
Only work in pairs; preferably use a lift.
Fig. 9: Installation with plenum box or spigot
1. Fix the suspension parts such as ropes,
cables or metal hangers (Fig. 9) to the
ceiling.
2. Use all of the available suspension
points on the plenum box.
Use all of the factory fitted clamps to fix
the transition piece.

Fixing the diffuser face to the plenum box
In order to protect the surface of the diffuser face,
unpack and install it only after all other construc-
tion steps have been completed.
If there is a lengthy break between installation
and commissioning, cover all openings of the
casing (e.g. with plastic) to protect the interior
and avoid cumbersome cleaning procedures at
the time of commissioning.
Fig. 17: Installing the diffuser face
1. Glue the seal (Fig. 17/5) onto the reverse
edge of the plenum box.
2. Fix the diffuser face (Fig. 17/2) with the cen-
tral fixing screw (Fig. 17/3) to the cross bar
(Fig. 17/1) and cover it with the decorative
cap (Fig. 17/4).
The diffuser face and the fixing elements
may differ from the variant shown.

The central fixing screw for size 250 mm has to be
inserted into a clamp in the plenum box
Fig. 18: Installing the diffuser face
1. Insert the central fixing screw (Fig. 18/3) on
the back of the diffuser face (Fig. 18/2), then
insert the diffuser face with the fixing screw
into the plenum box (Fig. 18/1).
2. The diffuser face can be removed by turning
it.

Duct connection
The plenum box has a spigot for duct connection.
Variants with a double lip seal allow for a sufficiently
tight connection; additional sealing is not required.
Initial commissioning, maintenance and
cleaning
Initial commissioning
Before you start commissioning:
Check that the air terminal devices are cor-
rectly seated.
Remove protective film, if any.
Ensure that all air terminal devices are clean
and free from residues and foreign matter.
Check that electrical connections (if any) have
been correctly made.
Ensure that the devices have been correctly
fixed and connected to the ducting.
For commissioning see also VDI 6022, part 1 – 'Hy-
giene requirements for ventilation and air-condi-
tioning systems and units'.
Volume flow rate balancing
When several diffusers are connected to just one
volume flow controller, it may be necessary to bal-
ance the volume flow rates.
AIRNAMIC
The diffuser face can be removed to access the
damper blade; the damper blade can then be set in
15° intervals between 0 and 90°

Maintenance and cleaning
Please note:
The cleaning intervals given in the VDI 6022
standard apply.
Clean surfaces with a damp cloth.
Use only common household cleaners, do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
Do not use cleaning agents that contain
chlorine.
Do not use equipment for removing stubborn
contamination, e.g. scrubbing sponges or
scouring cream, as it may damage the sur-
faces.
Replace contaminated equalising elements
(fleece). For hygiene reasons you should not
use a vacuum cleaner or wash the interior of
the device.
