Compliance with Buildin Codes
The most recent laws introduced to reduce energy
consumption require compliance with a series of
constraints which concern the performance provided
and the energy consumption of ventilation equipment.
In particular, the 2006 Edition of the U.K “Building
Regulations Document F1”: Means of Ventilation ADF
applicable in England and Wales) details 4 clearly
dened systems of ventilation to dwellings. System 4 -
Continuous mechanical extract with heat recovery
MVHR) is complied with by the new VORT HR 200 ultra-
high efciency whole house heat recovery ventilation
system.
In addition the unit fully complies with the requirements
of the “Code for Sustainable Homes” which details 6
levels of C02emission improvement over 2006 Building
Requirements. In order to operate in accordance with
ADF, the unit must be set by the installer to deliver air
volumes a stated in the Approved Document and as per
the extract of ADF on page 38 of this brochure.
Description and operation
VORT HR 200 henceforth “the appliance”) is an
extremely high efciency centralised heat recovery
ventilation system that can be oor mounted using the
special optional kit or wall mounted using the special
hooks provided.
Normally, stale air is extracted from “service” rooms
such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries; at the same
time, fresh air from outdoors is ducted into rooms that
are normally lived in such as bedrooms, studies and
sitting rooms. The air ows required are detailed in
current national regulations; in the UK, the UK “Building
Regulations Document F1” apply.
During normal operation the total volumes of air
extracted and air fed back in are essentially the same.
The incoming and outgoing air ow are perfectly
separate and suitably ltered. During the cold season,
heat from expelled air is transferred to incoming air. The
condensation created in the process, which is collected
inside the product, must then be piped to the outside.
The appliance silently and continuously ventilates the
house removing stale air and replacing it with ltered
fresh air from the outside. Inside the heat exchanger,
which is the key element in the appliance, heat is
exchanged between the two ows of air and this
guarantees the energy savings that the VORT HR 200
offers.

Function
Motors
The appliance is equipped with:
• two brushless motors specically designed to
guarantee very low energy consumption thanks to
their high efciency. These motors drive two
centrifugal fans which extract the stale damp air from
service rooms kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, etc)
and introduce fresh external air into living areas sitting
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, etc.);
Heat exchan er
The two air ows, intake and extract, meet in the
appliance, without ever actually coming into direct
contact so as not to jeopardise the quality of incoming
air) inside the heat exchanger where the warm
outgoing/extracted air passes its heat to the cold
incoming air, thus minimising the temperature variation
in the areas served.
Filters
Two G3 lters housed in the inlet and extraction ducts
close to the heat exchanger and accessible by removing
the front panel, protect the appliance from impurities in
the extracted stale air and prevent the introduction of
polluted air into the areas served by the system.
The condition of the lters can be checked by removing
the front panel and extracting them from their holders.
Replacing a standard G3 lter in the air intake system
with an optional G5 lter enhances the degree of
ltering.
Anti-frost protection
When weather conditions deteriorate and the formation
of frost on the heat exchanger walls become more likely,
the electronic circuit board automatically adjusts fan
speeds and air ow parameters.
While the automatic de-frosting cycle is in operation, the
user cannot change the appliance operating speed.
Settin fan speed
Using the switch to set fan speed g. 26).
The appliance usually operates at minimum speed
Vmin); the user can switch to the maximum speed
Vmax) with the switch.
Setting fan speed using the timer g. 27).
The fan speed can also be set using timer mode.
The keypad can be used to change the operating speed
to Vmax for 30 mins.; after this period is up, the
appliance returns to Vmin.

Maintenance/Cleanin
Filters
The user is responsible for the periodical maintenance
of lters. The lters have to be periodically cleaned to
ensure that the appliance continues operating efciently.
They should be replaced at least once a year.
To access the lters, follow the instructions below:
• disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• remove the lters from the appliance gs. 28,29,30)
• clean the lters using a vacuum cleaner; you are
advised to replace the lters after cleaning them a few
times but least once a year.
• ret the lters gs. 31,32,33)

If the appliance remains out of use for extended periods,
we advise removing the lters to prevent any possible
damage from the build-up of condensation.
Heat exchan er
Heat exchangers do not usually need frequent cleaning.
Any need for cleaning can be determined by a high
degree of air pollution both entering and leaving the
house) and by the lters being in poor condition.
The heat exchanger should however be replaced every
six years even if the lters have been regularly serviced.
To access the heat exchanger, follow the instructions
below:
• disconnect the appliance from the mains;
• remove the heat exchanger gs. 34,35,36);
• clean the heat exchanger;
• ret the heat exchanger gs. 37,38,39)

Initial settin s
for installer only)
There are two ways for the installer to make the initial ap-
pliance settings:
• Remote mode using the RF) remote control unit and
radio module.
• Appliance mode using the trimmer and dip-switch.
In addition to altering the speed settings, the initial
conguration will also include the adjustment of the air
inlet and outlet openings to and from the rooms served.
Appliance/remote control couplin
Each remote control must be initialised before use. This
activity is entrusted to the installer for remote controls sold
separately from the product), or factory set for remote
controls sold with the product).
The activity comprises the following steps:
a. turn the power off for at least 30 sec.;
b. turn the power back on;
c. within 60 sec. perform the procedure described below.
In detail, holding down the ENTER key for at least 3
seconds, the appliance will couple with the remote control.
Completion of coupling will be conrmed by an acoustic
signal constant 3 second BEEP) from the remote control
itself.
Usin the remote control/radio mode
g. 42)
The initial appliance settings can be made by means of
the RF) remote control unit and external radio module
that do not come as standard with the appliance.
N.B. Some of the functions included on the remote
control unit do not apply to this appliance.
1) Before connecting the appliance to the mains,
connect the external radio module to the electronic
circuit board and congure the dip-switch as shown
gure 43).
In this way, the system will be able to recognise the
settings made using the remote control unit even when
it is no longer connected to the external radio module in
effect, in this case ignoring the trimmer reading).
2) When the appliance is connected to the power supply,
the system recognises the external radio module and
keeps the motors in the OFF state.
3) Turn ON the RF) remote control unit fig. 44) and
check the system status brushless motor
diagnostics, assessment of temperature sensor
reading). Subsequently, the system - unless a fault is
indicated - will start the motors at Vmin and Vmax by
default. Below are details of the settings made using
the remote control:
Vmin: set 30 about 1100 rpm);
Vmax: set 43 about 1360 rpm);

Manually makin settin s usin the dip-switch
1) Before connecting the appliance to the mains,
congure the dip-switch using the following method:
g. 48).
2) Position both the trimmers fully to the left so that they
can be turned clockwise g. 49).
ATTENTION: do not apply excessive force to the
trimmers
3) Connect the appliance to the mains and the
appliance will start at 500 Rpm speed.
4) Set the switch for selecting speed in the position
matching the lowest setting Vmin
The pre-selected conguration has to match the type of
installation number of rooms served, length of
pipework, etc.) to be carried out.
The system is now enabled for setting with the
trimmer/dip-switch.
5) If you need to change this speed, use trimmer R1
turning it clockwise until you reach the desired setting
g. 50).
6) Turn the switch to the position matching the selection
of the maximum operating speed Vmax).
7) The appliance will start operating at the speed
matching the conguration of the dip-switch
selected. Select the dip-switch conguration that
presents the most suitable range of speed variations.
Turn trimmer R9 until you reach the desired value.
8) When you have nished making the settings, turn the
appliance OFF and disconnect the power supply.
N.B.
This procedure must only be carried out within one
hour of turning the appliance ON. Once this period
has elapsed, all other attempts at applying a new

CONTINUOUS MECHANICAL SUPPLY & EXTRACT
VENTILATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY
A continuous balanced mechanical central supply and extract system to
be positioned in loft or cupboard space. An integral heat exchanger
recovers a large percentage of heat energy that would have otherwise
been lost. In employing this type of system, there is no need to install
background ventilators in the dwelling.
CONTINUOUS SUPPLY AND EXTRACT
1Determine the whole building ventilation rate from Table 1.1B
Allow for inltration by subtracting
- for multi storey dwellings: 0.04 x gross internal volume of dwelling
heated space (m 3)
- for single storey dwellings: 0.0 x gross internal volume of dwelling
heated space (m 3)
2Calculate the whole dwelling extract rate at maximum operation by
adding the individual room rates for ‘minimum high rate’ from Table 1.1A
3The required air flow rates as as follows:
Maximum Extra t Rate (boost) is the greater step of 1 and 2 above.
The Minimum individual room extract rates sholuld be at least those
given in Table 1.1A for minimum high rate
Minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building
ventilation rate in 1 above.
4No Background ventilators are required with System 4
In addition, the minimum ventilation rate should not be less than 0.3 l/s per m2internal oor area (this includes each oor, e.g.
for a two-storey building, add the ground and rst oor areas).
This is based on two occupants in the main bedroom and a single occupant in all other bedrooms. This should be used as the
default value. If a greater level of occupance is expected, then add 4 l/s per occupant.
