5.2 Placing the appliance The Flair 400 appliance can be mounted onto a wall with the supplied mounting bracket. For a vibration-free installation, the appliance must be mounted to a solid wall with a minimum mass of 170 kg/m .
5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge The condensate discharge line for the Flair 400 is located in the lower panel. The condensate is discharged through the drainpipe. The siphon (with built-in air vent) is supplied separately with the appliance and must be fitted by the installer below the appliance (bayonet connection).
The location of the supply valves must be chosen in such a way to prevent fouling and drafts. We recommend using Brink supply valves. When using flexible mufflers, account must be taken during the installation that these may need to be replaced after a period of time.
Electrical diagram page 35); for more information and the correct modBus settings see the separate Modbus manual on the Brink website! Note: When ModBus is active, the ventilation mode cannot be changed using the display or, if applicable, the connected multiple switch! Also any connected humidity sensor will not function.
S1 / S2 = Slave appliances (For example a Flair appliance type 4-0); connect max. of 10 appliances via internal Bus. All Flair 400 appliances have the same air flow rate as the appliance that is set as "Master". The fault messages of all appliances are shown on the display of the master appliance and shown on the display of the relevant appliance.
The desired language/ date & time can be modified in the settings menu ;for this, please refer to the settings value table (® Setting values page 52, Setting values standard appliance page 52) step number 15.1 to step number 15.10. Flair 400 614895-G Brink / 19...
