VPM 120-560 (English) BY NILAN Warnings and rules Not areas of application CAUTION The unit must not be used for extraction of chips or where there is a risk of explosive gases. No duct connection ATTENTION If one or more of the spout are not connected to a duct, a protective net with a mesh width of not more than 20 mm must be mounted on this / these.
Unit type Product description The VPM 120-560 series is a ventilation and heat recovery unit with cooling and heat function specially developed for commercial construction with an air change requirement of up to 5,600 m³ per hour. A VPM unit removes the "used" moist air from the building and in turn supplies "fresh" temperate air. The energy in the extract air is recovered and transferred to the supply air via a unique combination of active (heat pump) and passive (heatpipe) heat recovery.

Electrical installation Electrical connections Safety ATTENTION All work must be carried out by qualified persons and in compliance with existing legislation and regulations. ATTENTION It is important that power is disconnected when working with the unit's electrical components. It is important to check that cables have not been damaged or trapped during connection and use. Connections overview All electrical connections are located on the right and left sides of the system, respectively, next to the duct connections.
VPM 120-560 (English) BY NILAN Electrical connection of the unit Power supply CAUTION The power supply, including a safety switch, must be installed by an authorized electrician. The unit is connected to 3x400V + N + J. Reference is also made to the electrical diagram supplied with the system.
Control panel CTS602i HMI Touch With the CTS602i HMI Touch panel, Nilan's units can be controlled on-site. The control panel is connected to the CTS602i control unit in the factory via a connection box on the side of the plant, and comes with a 3 meter Cat.5e cable of the type 4x2x0.5mm pair cord.

Electrical connection of accessories Connection to user selection and modbus User selection: Connection to the user selection can be used, for instance, to control operation of a cooker hood. This happens via a potential free contact in the cooker hood that sends a signal to the unit.
VPM 120-560 (English) BY NILAN Water after-heating element (accessory) CAUTION The circulation pump must be connected by an authorized electrician 1. The most optimal packing boxes to use by. pulling the cable to the circulation pump is found on the right side of the unit in a right-facing version and on the left side on a left-facing version.
Electrical after-heating element (accessory) CAUTION The connection of the electric heating element must be carried out by an authorized electrician. CAUTION The power supply cable must be connected via the main switch (accessory). ATTENTION Assembly of communication cable for board is performed in relation to the attached electrical diagram.
INFO Nilan can supply a water trap with a ball. The ball ensures that no air blows into the unit through the condensate drain if the water trap dries out. This ensures that water in the condensate tray can drain off, which makes it unnecessary to check the condensate drain quite so often.
Plumbing connections - accessories Water trap with ball (option) Connection options with Nilan’s water trap: 1. Water trap with Ø32 mm reducing fitting 2. Reducing fitting for Ø20 mm 3. Reducing fitting for ¾" RG 4. Reducing fitting for ½" tube ATTENTION Water trap with ball can only be used at the condensation drain in the suction side of the unit.
VPM 120-560 (English) BY NILAN Water after-heating element (accessory) CAUTION The connection of the mixing loop to the heating surface must be carried out by an authorized plumber. ATTENTION If you install the unit outdoors or outside the climate screen of the building, the unit must be protected against frost.
