Due to the ability to save heating energy by means of energy recovery, the unit is an important element of energy-efficient premises.
The unit is a component part and is not designed for stand-alone operation.
The unit is designed to ensure mechanical air exchange in houses, offices, hotels, cafés, conference halls, and other utility and public
spaces as well as to recover the heat energy contained in the air extracted from the premises to warm up the filtered stream of supply
air.
The unit is rated for continuous operation. Transported air must not contain any flammable or explosive mixtures, evaporation of
chemicals, sticky substances, fibrous materials, coarse dust, soot and oil particles or environments favorable for the formation of
hazardous substances (toxic substances, dust, pathogenic germs).
Relative humidity of transported air must not exceed +20 °C at an ambient humidity of 80 %.

The unit is designed for indoor application with the ambient temperature ranging from +1 °C up to +40 °C and relative humidity up
to 80 %.
In order to prevent condensation on the internal walls of the units, it is necessary that the surface temperature of the casing is 2-3 °C
higher than the dew point temperature of the transported air.
The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance.
Hazardous parts access and water ingress protection rating:
• IP22 for the unit connected to the air ducts
• IP44 for the unit motors
The unit design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.

DESIGN AND OPERATING LOGIC
The unit operates as follows:
Warm stale extract air from the room ows through the air ducts to the unit, where it is ltered, then air ows through the heat exchanger
and is exhausted outside by the extract fan through the air ducts.
Clean cold air from outside is moved by the supply fan to the unit, where from it is directed to the supply lter. Then ltered air ows
through the heat exchanger and moves to the room through the air ducts.
Heat energy of warm extract air is transferred to clean intake fresh air from outside and warms it up. Heat recovery minimizes heat energy
losses, energy demand and operating costs for air heating accordingly.
The unit is equipped with a detachable service panel for repair works and preventive maintenance and a cover enabling access to the
control system components.

DESIGN AND OPERATING LOGIC
TOP VIEW
The basic unit delivery set includes a remote control panel for connection to the control system inside the unit casing.
The unit comprises a supply and an extract centrifugal single-inlet fan with forward curved blades and maintenance-free EC motors with
external rotor and built-in overheat protection, a plate cross-ow heat exchanger, an electric heater, a supply and an extract lter.
The supply G4 lter cleans supply air ow and prevents contamination of the unit parts. The extract G4 lter prevents contamination of the
unit components.
Some condensate may be generated during heat recovery. The condensed uid is collected in the drain pan and is removed from the unit
through the drain pipes.

MOUNTING AND STARTUP
Threaded dowel pin
Nut
Washer
Fixing bracket
Vibration-absorbing
rubber
Nut and lock-nut
UNIT MOUNTING
The unit is designed for suspended mounting by means of the threaded rod xed in the threaded dowel pin.
To attain the best performance of the unit and to minimise turbulence-induced air pressure losses while mounting connect a straight air
duct section on both sides of the unit.
The minimum straight duct section length must be equal to one air duct diameter on air intake side and three times diameter on air exhaust
side.
If the air ducts are not connected or the connected air ducts are too short, protect the unit parts from ingress of foreign objects by covering
the spigots with a protecting grille or other protecting device with mesh width not more than 12.5 mm to prevent uncontrollable access to
the fans.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The unit is designed for mounting on a rigid and stable structure.
The unit is mounted with anchor bolts. Make sure that a mounting construction has sucient load capacity matching the unit weight.
Otherwise reinforce the installation place by beams, etc.
If the threaded bolts used for the unit mounting are too short, the unit can generate abnormal noise and resonate with the ceiling. The
suspended bolts must be long enough to prevent resonating.
If the unit connection place to the spiral seam duct is supposed to be the source of abnormal noise, replace the spiral seam air duct with
the exible one. Optionally the exible connectors may be used to prevent resonating.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
The condensate drain pan in the heat
recovery section is equipped with hoses for
removal of the condensed uid outside the unit.
Connect the pipe, U-trap (not included in
delivery package) and sewage collection system
with metal, plastic or rubber connecting pipes.
The pipe slope downwards must be at least 3°.
Fill up the system with water before connecting
the unit to the power mains! The U-trap must
always be lled with water during the unit
operation. Make sure that the water ows freely
into the sewage collection system or otherwise
condensed water may build up in the unit
during the heat exchanger operation and cause
equipment failure and condensed water outow
into the premises.
The condensate drainage system is
designed for normal operation in premises with
air temperatures above 0 °C. If the expected
ambient air temperatures are below 0 °C the
condensate drainage system must be equipped
with heat insulation and pre-heating facilities.

MAINTENANCE
The recommended maintenance periodicity is 3-4 times per year. The maintenance and servicing routines include regular cleaning and the
following operations:
1. Filter maintenance (3-4 times a year).
Contaminated lters increase air resistance thus impairing supply air volume into the premises. Clean the lters as these get dirty, but at least
3-4 times a year. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the contamination or use new lters. Change the lters after the second cleaning. New lters can
be purchased from the unit seller.
Filter removing:
1. Unlatch the service panel.
2. Support the service panel with a hand and open it.
3. Remove the lters from the unit.
1 2 3
2. Heat exchanger checking (once a year).
Even regular lter technical maintenance may not completely prevent dirt accumulation on the heat exchanger unit. Clean the heat exchanger
on a regular basis to ensure its high heat recovery eciency. To clean the heat exchanger remove it from the unit and wash it with warm neutral
detergent solution. Re-install the dry heat exchanger back into the unit.
Removing the heat exchangers:
1. Unlatch the service panel.
2. Support the service panels with a hand and open
those.
3. Remove the four screws to take the drain pan o.
4. Remove the nine retaining screws o the heat
exchanger and remove the heat exchanger carefully from
the unit.

3. Fan inspection (once a year).
Even regular technical maintenance of the lters and heat exchanger may not completely prevent dust accumulation in the fans which reduces
the fan capacity and impairs supply air volume into the premises.
Clean the fans with a cloth or a soft brush. Do not use water, aggressive solvents, sharp objects etc. for cleaning not to damage the impeller.
4. Condensate drain checking (once a year).
The drain pipes may get clogged with the extracted particles. Pour some water inside the drain pan and check the pipe for clogging. Clean the
U-trap and drain pipe if required.
5. Extract and supply diuser cleaning (as required).
Remove the diusers and louver shutters and wash these with warm mild detergent solution.
6. Air intake checking (twice a year).
Leaves and other pollutions can clog the supply air grille and reduce the unit performance and supply air volume. Check the supply grille twice
per year and clean it as required.
7. Duct system checking (every 5 years).
Even regular fullling of all the prescribed above maintenance operations may not completely prevent dust accumulation in the air ducts
which reduces the unit performance. The air duct maintenance includes regular cleaning or replacement.
