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.
Important notes
Air terminal devices Ceiling diffusers2

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.

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.
Ceiling diffusers
If possible, install the device before fixing the ceiling
tiles; if this is not possible, remove the adjacent
ceiling tiles.
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.

Installing the diffuser face
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. 9: Installing the diffuser face
1. Glue the seal (Fig. 9/5) onto the reverse
edge of the plenum box.
2. Fix the diffuser face (Fig. 9/2) with the cen-
tral fixing screw (Fig. 9/3) to the cross bar
(Fig. 9/1) and cover it with the decorative
cap (Fig. 9/4).
The diffuser face and the fixing elements
may differ from the variant shown.

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 device has been correctly fixed
and connected to the ducting.

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, XARTO
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°

Ceiling diffusers, variant -M
The diffuser face can be removed to access the
damper blade (Fig. 16/1); the damper blade can
then be set to any position between 0 and 90°
Ceiling diffusers, variant -MN
The diffuser face need not be removed since the
damper blade can be set with two cords (white and
green).
