Installation Manual (installer & user) VIGO350A - Heat Recovery Ventilation Unit The VIGO 350A is continuously running Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit which simultaneously extracts air from wet rooms while supplying fresh, filtered air to the habitable rooms in a home.
The key to proper, safe and smooth operation of the unit is to read this manual thoroughly, use the unit according to given guidelines and follow all safety requirements. The VIGO350A is supplied with its CTRL-DSP remote multifunction control panel as standard. The package also includes 2 condensation elbows and 2 plugs for the water drainage.
3.2 Dimensions (mm) and Weight Weight Kg 3.3 Connections LEFT Connections from and to outside are set on the left side of the unit front view DEFAULT RIGHT Connections from and to outside are set on the right side of the unit front view The factory setting is LEFT.
Fig. 3.b Connections in RIGHT orientation Intake air from outside Exhaust air to outside Supply air to inside Extract air from inside Winter condensation drainage Summer condensation drainage To set the RIGHT orientation of the machine: • Modify the orientation on the CTRL-DSP (point 7.2 - Installer menu: 3 Machine Orientation). • Replace the ducting connection label on the top of the casing and the water drainage label on the bottom of the casing with those supplied with this installation manual. 3.4 Space required Make sure that enough space is left around the unit to allow easy maintenance (access to filters, terminal box and removal of the side and front inspection panels).
5.3 Installation The unit must be installed in the following position. It is important that the unit is vertical in order for the condensation drainage to work properly. Fig. 5.a Fig. 5.b Fig. 5.c Fig. 5.d Spirit level Fig. 5.e Fig.

Fig. 5.g Individual “dry traps” must be used for each condensate drain on the MVHR. Condensation elbows have an outside diameter of 16mm. Ø125mm Ø125mm Fig. 5.h Fig. 5.i 5.a Prepare the surface where the unit is to be mounted. Make sure that the surface is flat, leveled and that it supports the weight of the unit. Perform the installation in accordance with local rules and regulations. 5.b Drill the holes in the wall.
The installation and service of the unit and complete ventilation system must be performed by an authorized installer and in accordance with local rules and regulations. The unit must be earthed. The VIGO350A is wired internally from factory. To connect the the CTRL-DSP to the mother board use a 4pole twisted-pair cable: max length 30m. Figures below show the wiring diagram.
6 COMMISSIONING 6.1 Setting Fan speed The speed of the unit can be adjusted during installation according to required ventilation rate. Figure 6.a below shows performance curves (for supply air and extract air) at different settings of the 0-10V signal to the motors. Airflow and consumption refer to one single motor. Table 6.b indicates the efficiency of the heat exchanger and of the condensation produced in different climatic conditions, to help the installer or the designer of the ventilation system to decide if to connect one or both condensation drainages.
