Accessories Electrical pre-heating element for frost protection of the unit If your ventilation unit is not a Polar version with an integral pre-heating element, we recommend that you purchase an external pre-heating element as frost protection of the ventilation unit. During prolonged periods of frost, the high efficiency counterflow heat exchanger will ice up.
It is important to ensure that the ventilation unit does not transfer vibrations to the building. The ventilation unit should therefore be placed on a vibration absorbing material. Nilan can supply effective vibration absorbers to place under the ventilation unit. They are sold in packs of 4. Flexible sound damper To make it esay to service the unit in the future, we recommend that you fit a flexible connection between the unit and the duct system.
This should be placed in the outdoor air intake, which will reduce the pollen count in the dwelling. Trolley A Nilan trolley makes it easy to transport the heavy units into the home, without having to carry out heavy lifting yourself with the risk of injury.
Compact P is supplied in one piece on a pallet, packed in cardboard. You can use Nilan lifting trolley, with which the unit can be lifted directly off the pallet and into the building. If the filter box is removed, the unit can be manoeuvred through an ordinary door.
Electric installation Safety ATTENTION All work must be carried out by qualified persons and in compliance with existing legislation and regulations. ATTENTION It is important that the power is off, if you do work to the electrical components of the unit. It is important to check that wires are not damaged or squeezed during connection and use.
(according to the electrical diagram), where the wires from the front connection are removed. Nilan offers a connection cable with RJ12 connectors of 10 m and 20 m, respectively. It is also possible to customize a cable up to 50 m in length.
Schuko socket Schuko socket Adapter Schuko with side earth with pin earth plug with pin ground Compact P unit Ventilation and domestic hot water 1N 230V - 50 Hz max 13 A (Schuko plug) (Polar version 16A) Remember safety switch.
Electrical connections accessories User programe 1 User programe 1 is connected via the 8-pin plug mounted on top of the unit. The user programe functions are used to override normal operation. The input signal must come from a potential-free switch. When closed, the function is activated with the settings selected in the control panel under Service / User selection 1.
External pre-heating element It is possible to purchase an external electric pre-heating element for frost protection of the ventilation unit. The electric preheating element is mounted in the outdoor air duct before the unit with the necessary temperature sensor. If it is desired to see the actual outdoor air temperature on the control panel, the temperature sensor T1 / T8 must be led out into the duct before the preheating surface.
Electrical after-heating element An after-heating element is necessary if you want to control the supply air temperature. The electric after-heating element can be purchased for installation in the supply air duct and the necessary sensor amd PCB board are included. ATTENTION The T7 temperature sensor has been installed near the heating element.
sensor If there is a large load change in the home / building, it is advantageous to install a CO sensor to control the air exchange. The CO sensor measures the CO level in the exhaust air, and regulates the ventilation level accordingly. The CO sensor is mounted in the unit as illustrated below: 1.

7. Mount the power supply box in the box for automatic. 8. Connects as shown in the electrical diagram below. (pre-drill 2 holes for the screws). 9. Reinstall the counterflow heat exchanger. Remember to reinstall the T4 sensor. For SW version 2.00x or less, the resistor must be mounted in series with a black signal cable For SW version 2.01x and above, do not mount a resistor.
5. Connect the wires up in accordance with the wiring diagram. ATTENTION The expansion PCB and the connections must be installed by a certified electrician. The expansion PCB is an accessory for the CTS602 circuit board. Nilan does not supply external components.
User programe 2 With User programe 2, the same options are achieved as with User programe 1. In addition, you get the option of a relay output that can control e.g. a damper or whatever need one may have to control an external function. User programe 2 potential-free input is connected to TF13 and User programe 2 output is connected to relay R7 on the PCB board.
EM-box (damper solution) If it is desired to run the cooker hood over the ventilation system, it may in some cases be difficult to get enough air for the cooker hood. With an EM box installed and when the cooker hood is in operation, you can regulate the extraction so that less air is extracted out of the other rooms, e.g.
DTBU damper solution If it is desired to run the cooker hood over the ventilation system, it may in some cases be difficult to get enough air for the cooker hood. To solve that challenge, an EM-box solution can be used. However, if there is not enough space in the installation for an EM box, you can alternatively connect a DTBU damper in the duct system, which has the same function, except that it does not have a built-in dirt filter.
Fire thermostat / external fire automation system The ventilation unit can be connected up to an external fire thermostat that will stop the ventilation unit in the event of fire. The same port can be used for connection of an external fire automation system. The control system identifies a broken input signal as fire, and stops.
Joint alarm It may be difficult to notice alarms if the unit is located in a place where access is difficult or infrequent, and if the control panel is locat- ed in the same place. An external alarm indicator in the form of an electric bulb or an acoustic signal can be connected to the ventilation unit and announce when an alarm occurs.
External heat supply The unit can control an external heat supply, such as electric radiators or an underfloor heating system. This feature is used in the cases where the unit contributes to the heating of the house via a heat pump and / or a after heating element. The room temperature is monitored by the unit's control, which only releases the external heat supply if it cannot heat the home / house to the desired room temperature.
Condensate drain Important information Compact P is supplied with a reinforced 20 mm condensation drain pipe with built-in water lock. ATTENTION Run the condensate drain to the nearest drain, allowing an even fall of at least 1 cm per m.
All work must be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with relevant legislation and provisions. Nilan's hot water tanks are double-enamelled, ensuring long life. The efficient foam insulation protects against unnecessary heat loss. All connection nozzles for water have 3/4" thread and are located in the tank bottom.
Requirements for water quality In order for at hot water tank in stainless steel to last for many years, it is required that the water quality must comply with the following cirteria: • Electrical conductivity: < 125 mS/m (millisiemens per. m) @ 25 °C •...
This is to avoid vibrations from the unit being transmitted to the duct system. It will also make it easier to move the unit, which may be necessary during future services of the unit. Nilan can supply Soundflex tubes that you can use as flexible connections between the ventilation unit and the duct system. They will also reduce sounds from the system considerably.
Extract air Install the extract air valves in high-humidity rooms and place them strategically where they can extract humid and vitiated air from the dwelling/building most efficiently. High-humidity rooms are, for example: • Bathroom • Lavatory • Kitchen • Utility room Supply air Install supply air valves in living areas.
Balancing Important information ATTENTION To ensure the ventilation system operates optimally, it is important that it is balanced correctly. We recommend that experts do this. It is important to measure the total supply air and the total extract air. The system must have a minimum vacuum, which means it draw out more air than it blows in.
Troubleshooting Emergency operation domestic hot water If an error occurs in the controller or components in the Compact P, and the unit therefore stops, it will not be able to produce domestic hot water. If the installer is not able to come right away or the error happens outside the opening hours, and you therefore cannot contact the in- staller, there is a possibility to get hot water by setting the unit into emergency mode.
Domestic hot water Errors and solutions domestic hot water Problem Possible cause Solution The unit produces insufficient domestic The filters may be blocked so that Change the filters and, if necessary, hot water. insufficient air is reaching the unit. change the filter change period to a shorter Interval.
