1.0 Introduction
The unit must remain switched on at all times to maintain
ventilation within the dwelling. Turning the unit off will
cause long term damage to the unit and building fabric.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person for their
safety. Children should be supervised so that they do not
play with the appliance.
MRXBOX95B-LP1H ceiling void mounted unit is designed to
provide mechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat
recovery, summer bypass & incorporates integral humidistat.
The unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has full
speed control for background and boost ventilation rates.
To recover heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block
is utilised. The heat exchanger can recover up to 80% of the
normally wasted heat.
The bypass damper opens automatically via a wax actuator when
the outside air reaches 20°C, when the outer air temperature
returns below this level the unit returns to its original state.
Outside air supplied through the bypass is still being filtered,
so the air quality is optimal, irrespective of the bypass setting
(open or closed).
The unit is fitted with a frost protection mode, in the event of the
fresh air temperature dropping below -5 Deg C the supply fan will
switch off. The unit will then automatically switch back on when
the temperature raises back above -5 Deg C.

2.0 Installation
Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in
accordance with the appropriate authority and conforming
to all statutory governing regulations. All mains wiring must
be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations, or the
appropriate standards. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage,
Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating label.
Please note a clear working space is required around the
installed unit to allow the cover to be removed and provide
sufficient access for maintenance such as filter change.
The fan must be installed indoors, in a suitable ceiling void
away from direct sources of frost, heat, water spray or
moisture generation. For a vibration-free result the unit must
be mounted to a solid surface in the void.
The unit is designed for ceiling mounting only (Horizontal
surface).
1. The unit is supplied with a steel mounting bracket.
2. Position & secure the steel bracket to the ceiling using
appropriate fixings (supplied by others), ensuring that the
two outer fixing holes on the unit are accessible.
Note: The mounting bracket should be on the same side as the
condensate take off.
3. The unit can now be offered into position & located into the
mounting bracket.
4. Using appropriate fixings (supplied by others), fix the unit to
the ceiling. It is recommended that the unit is fixed through
three holes on the non-bracket side and the two outer holes on
the bracket side.
