SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Installation and operation of the unit shall be performed in accordance with the present user’s manual as well as the provisions of all
the applicable local and national construction, electrical and technical codes and standards.
The unit is classied as a class I electric appliance.
The unit must be grounded!
Before connecting the unit to power mains make sure that the unit is free of any visible damages or any other foreign objects inside
the casing that can damage the impeller blades.
Mounting and connection of the unit to power mains only by duly qualied electricians with valid electric work permit!
The unit is not rated for operation in an environment that contains toxic or aggressive substances as acids, alkalis, organic solvents,
soot, paint as well as sputtered particles of explosive or aggressive substances. The unit is not rated for use in areas where atmospheric
conditions are determined by sea climate or hot springs.
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO MOUNTING, MAINTENANCE, CONNECTION AND
REPAIR WORKS!
DO NOT!
• DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT BEYOND THE SPECIFIED TEMPERATURE RANGE OR IN AN AGGRESSIVE AND
EXPLOSIVE MEDIUM!
• DO NOT CONNECT CLOTHES DRYERS OR SIMILAR EQUIPMENT TO THE VENTILATION SYSTEM!
• DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IN THE AIR AND DUST MIXTURE MEDIUM!

DESIGN AND OPERATING LOGIC
The unit has the following operating logic, g. 2:
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 thermal
energy losses, energy demand and operating costs for air heating accordingly.
The air handling unit construction includes specially designed and sealed service panels for repair and preventing operations. The
terminal block on the side panel incorporates a terminal block. Power and ground cables are connected to the terminal block through
the sealed electric lead-ins.

MOUNTING AND SETUP
The unit is designed for suspended mounting by means of the threaded rod xed in the threaded dowel pin. The unit is also suitable
for rigid xation on a horizontal plane, g. 3.
While mounting the unit provide the minimum required access to the unit for maintenance and repair. The required minimum
distances from the unit to the wall is shown in g. 3-5.

Safety precautions:
The unit is designed for mounting on a rigid and stable structure. Prior to mounting check the technical specications and
the unit weight.
The unit is mounted with anchor bolts. Make sure that a mounting construction has sucient load capacity matching the unit weight.
Otherwise reinforce an installation place by beams, etc. Then insert the threaded rods xed inside the threaded expansion anchors in the
ceiling. If the threaded bolts used for the unit mounting are too short the unit can generate abnormal noise and resonate with the ceiling.
While mounting the unit ensure enough access for the unit servicing and provide an inspection hole for servicing of the
lters, heat exchangers and the fans. Each unit must be serviced by the individual hole. For more details, refer to the outline
drawing, g. 1.
Install M8 anchor bolts. Install an anchor bolt M8 into the xation for the ceiling suspension mount and x it with nuts and washers.
Make sure of no foreign objects (e.g., foil or paper) inside the unit casing before installation.
If the fastening bolts used for the unit mounting are too short, the unit may generate abnormal noise and resonate with the
ceiling.
If the unit connection place to the spiral seam duct is supposed to be the source of abnormal noise, install a exible air duct instead
of the exible one. Normally this measure is enough to troubleshoot the resonance.
Optionally the exible connectors may also be used to prevent resonating.
Access to the unit must be prevented by installing a protecting grille or any other device with the mesh width up to 12.5 mm.
The unit must be connected to sewage system, g.6. 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 be lled with water at all times 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.
The condensate drainage system is designed for normal operation in premises with air temperatures above 0 °C.
If the expected air temperatures are below 0 °C the condensate drainage system must be equipped with heat insulation and pre-
heating facilities.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
DO NOT CONNECT SEVERAL DRAIN PIPES FROM SEVERAL AIR HANDLING UNITS TO ONE UTRAP!
DIRECT CONDENSATE OUTSIDE WITHOUT CONNECTION TO DRAIN SYSTEM IS NOT ALLOWED!

CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS
The unit is rated for connection to single-phase ac 230 V / 50 Hz power mains.The connection must be made using durable, insulated
and heat-resistant conductors (cables and wires) with min. cross section 0.75 mm2.
The given conductor sections are for reference only. The conductor section selection shall account for the wire type, maximum
permissible wire heating, insulation, length and installation method.
Use only copper core wires.
The unit must be properly earthed.
Connect the unit to power mains on the terminal block located in the terminal box in compliance with the wiring diagram and
terminal marking, g. 7. Connect all the control and power cables in compliance with the terminal marking!
The terminal marking is shown inside of the terminal box. The unit terminal clamps are marked according to the marking on the
wiring diagram.
Route the wires to the terminal box through the cable gland on the unit side panel to preserve the electrical protection class.
Connect the unit to power mains through the external automatic circuit breaker with magnetic trip integrated into the xed wiring
system with the rated current not below the rated current consumption (above 2.5 A).
THE POWER MAINS CONNECTION SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONS AFTER CAREFUL STUDY
OF THE USER’S MANUAL.
THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR AC MAINS SUPPLYING THE VOLTAGE COMPLIANT WITH THE TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION CHART.
CHECK THE CABLE FOR CHOKING.
DO NOT SWITCH ON THE UNIT IF THE CABLE IS DAMAGED. NEVER UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM THE SOCKET WITH
WET HAND OR BY HOLDING THE ELECTRIC CABLE.
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO ANY OPERATIONS WITH THE UNIT!
THE RATED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE UNIT ARE GIVEN ON THE MANUFACTURER’S LABEL. ANY
TAMPERING WITH THE INTERNAL CONNECTIONS IS PROHIBITED AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

The freeze protection thermostat is installed in the exhaust air duct downstream of the heat exchanger. In case of a freeze danger
the thermostat switches the supply fan o and the heat exchanger is warmed up with warm extract air ow, g. 2. Rotate the thermostat
control dial to set the operation temperature of the thermostat sensor. The thermostat set point is selected individually depending on
the unit operating specics.
The recommended thermostat operating temperature is +3 °C (factory setting).
