Important notes
Safety
Correct use
Circular silencers are used to reduce noise in the
circular ducts of ventilation and air conditioning sys-
tems within closed rooms.
For the reduction of air-regenerated noise of air
terminal units and mechanical self-powered control-
lers, etc.
Do not use circular silencers in extract air systems
in commercial kitchens unless the extract air has
been cleaned as much as possible with high-effi-
ciency aerosol separators; see VDI 2052.
Use in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres (ATEX)
Circular silencers do not fall under the scope
in accordance with Chapter 1, Article 1, Point
1a, 1b and 1c of EU Directive 2014/34/EU. The
circular silencers must be used in areas with
a potentially explosive atmosphere, zones 1, 2
and zones 21, 22 (outside), in accordance with
Guideline 1999/92/EC.
Please note:
–Max. operating temperature 90 °C
–Max. airflow velocity 20 m/s
–When using lip seals for tube attachment,
a grounding cable must be provided for the
sound attenuator/tube.
–Earth circular silencers!
–Clean sound attenuators regularly to prevent
accumulated dust!
–Clean circular silencers in such a way that
no electrostatic charge builds up!

Installation information for circular silencer
General information
When designing and constructing ventilation
and air conditioning systems, take into account
the requirements of VDI6022, in particular:
–Hygienic, clean installation of all compo-
nents and their air distribution surfaces
– Inspection and cleaning options by plan-
ning inspection/cleaning openings in the
ducting system
– Avoidance of leaks
Affix the circular silencer proficiently and only
to load-bearing components.
Load suspension systems only with the weight
of the circular silencer. Adjacent components
and connecting ducts must be supported sepa-
rately.
Only use approved and sufficiently dimen-
sioned suspensions for fixing. Secure screw
connections against self-loosening, e.g., by
locking them. Fixing material is not included in
the supply package.
Use only the shortest possible self-tapping
screws in the vicinity of the spigot for fixing

5 Suspension, e.g., with threaded rod
Fig. 3: Examples of fixings for rounded units
1 Fixing to pipe clamps
2 Fixing to suspension element
When installing the circular silencer, choose
a load-bearing structure that will support the
entire weight of the circular silencer construc-
tion.
The weight of the circular silencer must not be
supported by the spigots or flanges alone.
Tension-free assembly
Structure-borne sound transmission must be
avoided by taking suitable measures.
Installation in ducts outside closed rooms
requires sufficient protection against the effects
of weather
Take standard DIN EN 12236 into considera-
tion (suspensions and supports for air ducts)
Flange constructions
Flange constructions are designed according to DIN
EN 12220. Connection dimensions of the flanges
can be found in the standard.
Assembly to control components
Circular silencers without splitters can be used for
the reduction of air-regenerated noise of air terminal
units and mechanical self-powered controllers. The
installation takes place immediately downstream of
the control component.
InstallationOperation

Connecting the duct
When connecting the ducting, the customer must
ensure that the connection points are installed as
air-tight as possible in order to avoid negative influ-
ences from leakages such as air volume deviations,
power consumption, etc. Unless otherwise stated,
the connecting material is not included in the supply
package.
Before connecting the ducting:
Check the inside of the unit for damage and
loose parts.
Remove any contamination from the ducting.
Leakage classes
In order to be able to achieve the required tight-
ness of the duct system, it is necessary that suit-
able sound attenuators and duct components have
been selected. In addition, the following should be
observed:
Proper and expert assembly
Provide seals
Establish the cable fastening (suspension/sup-
port)
Circular ducting – metal
Spigot without lip seal
Plug-in mounting on ducting in accordance with EN 1506 or EN 13180.
Fixing and sealing with ventilation strip, e.g., KLP180.
When using heat-shrinkable tape near the spigot, watch out for plastic
parts of other components and heat carefully.
Spigot with optional lip seal
Plug-in mounting on ducting in accordance with EN 1506 or EN 13180.
Connect the spigot with the ducting, e.g., using drilling screws.
No further sealing required.
Spigot with steel flanges (galvanised steel)
Matching flanges available as accessories
Seal and screw connection M8 (to be provided by others)
Dimensions and number of holes in accordance with EN 12220.
Position the ducting exactly. Do not pull the distances together via the
flange connection.

Retrofitting of lip seals
Double lip seal: Fit the short lip (1) on the connection side
Fit the ring seal as shown; avoid excessive stretching.
Check for proper seating in the groove
Apply talcum around the ring seal

Commissioning
Commissioning and operation
Personnel:
Specialized personnel
Before you start commissioning:
Check proper installation of the circular
silencers.
Ensure that all sound attenuators are
clean and free from residues and for-
eign matter.
Commissioning
Code of good practice for commis-
sioning
Commissioning is governed by the standard "DIN
EN 12599 Testing and measuring procedures
for the transfer of installed ventilation and air
conditioning systems", and, if applicable, contrac-
tually agreed services between HVAC contrac-
tors, system owners and installation engineers.
The standard describes the essential commis-
sioning steps of the completeness check, func-
tion check, function measurement as well as
report generation and handover.
Commissioning
Circular silencer CA8

Operation
Once commissioning has been completed, the cir-
cular silencer will operate in a self-powered manner
and require no intervention from the system owner.
Depending on the area of application of the circular
silencer, test specifications and intervals may have
to be observed.
Maintenance
System owner's responsibility
WARNING!
Only authorised specialist personnel are
allowed to perform the described mainte-
nance measures.
The system owner is responsible for maintenance.
The system owner is responsible for creating a
maintenance plan, for defining the maintenance
goals, and for the functional reliability of the equip-
ment.
The legal regulations must be observed during
maintenance, e.g. the system owner is responsible
for hygienic operation in accordance with VDI 6022.
Maintenance
The circular silencers are low-maintenance in terms
of wear, but they must be included in the regular
cleaning of the ventilation system. Regular care and
maintenance ensure long service life of the circular
silencer.
Inspection measures
1. Remove contamination that affects the func-
tion of the circular silencer.
2. Check all screws for firm seating and
retighten them, if necessary.
3. Document the maintenance work.
Repair
Repair work is only allowed to be carried out by
specialist personnel or by the manufacturer. Only
genuine replacement parts must be used.
Disposal
ENVIRONMENT!
Risk of harm to the environment due to incor-
rect disposal of goods and packaging!
Incorrect disposal can harm the environment.
– Be sure to comply with the relevant national
guidelines and regulations.
–If you are not sure how to dispose of any-
thing in an environmentally friendly manner,
contact your local authorities or a specialist
disposal company.
Note: The sound attenuator has to be disassem-
bled for disposal.
If no take back (disposal) agreement with
