3m of vertical height. When the outdoor unit is above the indoor unit the traps should be fitted in the suction line, if the indoor unit is above the outdoor unit then the traps need to be fitted in the liquid line. QA/IOM/63 ISSUE 2 - DERV Page 8 of 19...
The DERV units incorporate a built-in controller allowing the speed to be changed (speed 1,2 & 3) along with an on/off switch. Provision has also been made for remote control of the DERV units via two volt free contacts.

& High) along with an on/off switch, see figure below. Provision has also been made for remote control of the DERV units via two volt free contacts. These contacts can be used to switch the units on and off remotely via switches or relays attached to BEMS, occupancy sensors etc. The two remote contacts are wired into terminals R1/R2 and R3/R4 respectively.

LEDs. 4.5 Drain connection piping The DERV(DX) units incorporate two internal draintrays; one beneath the heat recovery heat pipe and one beneath the cooling coil/heat pipe section. There is an individual drain pipe extending out from the side of each drainpan.
The ducting can be transformed to a smaller size after the outlet spigot and can be transformed to circular ducting if this is preferred. A single DERV(DX) unit can be arranged to take its extract air from one or more sources and its supply ducting can be arranged to supply one or a number of different areas.
6 Maintenance It is suggested that the DERV(DX) units should be maintained on a monthly basis so as to ensure continued correct operation. The maintenance routine should involve the following: Filter cleaning: The indoor units incorporate two filters; one on the extract air side and one on the supply air side.
DERV unit. Indoor unit general cleaning: The outer casing of the DERV(DX) unit is finished in corrosion resistant epoxy paint and can be wiped down with a wet cloth or with dilute cleaning agents.
