SAFETY REQUIREMENTS While operating and mounting the unit consider the requirements of the present operation manual as well as general requirements of all applicable local and national building and electrical codes and standards. 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.
VUT .. WH ЕС STRUCTURE AND OPERATING LOGIC The unit has the following operating logic (fig. 3): Warm stale extract air from the room flows through the air ducts to the unit, is purified in the extract filter and is supplied to the heat exchanger and exhausted outside by exhaust fan. Clean cold air from outside is moved by supply fans to the unit where from it is directed to the supply filter.

VUT .. WH ЕС Mount the unit on a rigid and stable structure. Check the technical parameters and the unit weight. Use bolts to suspend the unit to the ceiling. Make sure that the construction has sufficient load capacity to carry the unit weight. Otherwise reinforce an installation place by beams etc. After that fix the bolts.

To attain the best performance of the unit while mounting provide a straight 1 m duct section on both sides of the unit. If the unit is installed at the air duct inlet or outlet it shall be equipped with a grille with the mesh width up to 12.5 mm or any other protecting device to prevent free access to the unit fans.
VUT .. WH ЕС Сirculation pump operation (not included into delivery set). The circulation pump switches automatically on both in summer or winter mode when the fans are started or at the beginning of the water coils preheating procedure and switches off as the fans stop.
CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS Connection of the unit to power mains is allowed by a qualified electrician with a work permit for the electric units up to 1000 V after detailed study of the present user’s manual. The rated electrical parameters of the unit are shown on the rating plate. Any internal connection modifications are not allowed and void warranty.
VUT .. WH ЕС Recommended rated current of the circuit breaker is 6.3 A. To connect the unit to power mains route the power and ground cables through the cable screws gland. The mounting place of the automatic circuit breaker must ensure a quick access for alarm switching off if required.

Structure and operating logic of automatic control system: Automatic control system has winter and summer operation modes. The mode is selected automatically depending on the outside temperature: if the outside temperature is above the set point (0°C by default) the system operates in summer mode. If the temperature drops below this set point the system automatically switches to winter mode.
