3. Unit Installation 3.1. General information, recommendations, and safety when installing the Xhouse unit 3.1.1. Electrical safety before installation of the unit Before starting any installation work, make sure that the wiring box or mains socket that you want to use to connect the unit is equipped with a protective (green-yellow) wire or contact (pin).
3.1.3. Unit Location When selecting a location for the installation of the unit, always consider the layout of the building within the overall HVAC system (e.g.: location of dampers, supply and exhaust ducts, etc.). Consult an HVAC designer or a person knowledgeable in the field for the proper design of the entire HVAC system. The manufacturer is in no way responsible for the design of the ventilation system.
3.1.5. Installation Positions of the Xhouse unit All the Xhouse unit types can be installed in the following position: Fig. 10 Any other position is prohibited 3.2. Xhouse Unit Installation The unit must be operated in enclosed and dry areas with room temperature ranging between +5 °C and +30 °C.
3.2.2. Positioning, installation of the unit on the wall Select the appropriate anchoring material (not included) for the given wall. To use the unit's hanging system (keyhole), choose a screw with max. with the maximum head diameter up to 13 mm. Ø7 mm Use a spirit level to measure the anchor holes for attaching the unit to the wall.
o Additional drain - used to drain condensate from the supply branch - ventilated area with air conditioning. The outlet is blinded as standard. If an additional drain is used, both outlets must be connected. Fig. 13 Closed as standard Open as standard The siphon must always be watered, well connected, and sealed to the unit drain, otherwise there is a risk of condensate not draining from the unit and thus condensate accumulating in the unit with a...
When creating a bend - elbow on the siphon hose, make sure to keep the correct bend radius of the hose to avoid “breaking” the hose and consequently choking the hose and preventing condensate drainage. Secure the formed siphon with a second 2.5 x 120 mm tie strap (included) to the main drain located on the unit.
Fig. 19 o Connect every end of the siphon separately to the sewer system Fig. 20 3.2.4. Connecting the air duct to the unit The diameter of the socket of the unit for connection of the distribution pipe is 125 mm. The sockets are fitted with a rubber gasket for better sealing of the joint and a thermal sleeve for better connection of the pipe insulation to the neck (thermal bridge breaking).
The relevant current circuit must be protected in the electric power distribution system by the maximum of 16 A. The electrical cable to be connected to the mains must not be broken. Local electrical regulations must always be respected. Electrical connection of the unit to the mains may only be carried out by persons qualified for this activity with a valid authorisation and knowledge of relevant standards and directives in the country.
3.3.2.3. Recommended Xhouse unit protection Tab.13 3.3.3. Display of electrical parameters all the unit's electrical parameters are provided on the serial plate Fig. 23 4. Regulation 4.1. General Information – Safety There is no need to connect anything else to the unit for the correct operation of the unit (in the manual regime).

The supply cabling for the heater must be a separate supply including the switched phase controlled by the unit, under no circumstances must the heater be powered from the unit. Sample wiring diagram: Fig. 37 Install the heater - reheater according to the heater manufacturer's instructions e.g.: flow direction, distance from the unit, heater position, distance of temperature sensor from the heater etc...
5. Commissioning 5.1. Prior to first startup, check: that all the installation work has been duly completed as indicated in Section 3, whether the power supply cable of the unit is properly connected to the mains, whether the connected electrical accessories are correctly wired, whether the condensation trap is watered, and the condensate outlet is connected to the sewer system, whether the unit contains clean filters.
5.3. Controller Operating Regimes The controller operates in 3 display regimes. 5.3.1. Sleep Regime – Regular Operating Regime Only the operating state is displayed – the unit is on and the LED on/off of the unit is on (button 2). The unit is fully functional, running according to user settings.
Tab. 15 5.4.3. Description of the ventilation power setting range Unit output settings Tab. 16 5.4.4. Ventilation Output Settings 1. In the regular regime, double-click on button 1 or 2 or 3 to enter the settings regime – LED 10 flashes (fan pictogram).
5.4.6. Hidden Regulation Functions The control behaviour includes automatic processes that ensure optimal operation of the unit with emphasis on the maximum service life and efficiency of the operation. These processes are part of the manufacturer's factory setup and know-how. The user cannot change them. As a result of these automatic processes, the behaviour of the unit may be different from that assumed by the user.
The automatic display time of the customer menu is 15 s from the last activity. After this time, the adjusted values are saved, and the controller is switched off. Repeat the previous steps to re-enter the customer menu. 5.5.2. Setting the air output for the BOOST regime - 1st screen After entering the customer menu, the air output setting scale 11;...
Options for setting the running time in the BOOST regime Tab. 18 If the unit is connected to a parent BMS and the BOOST running time is set to a different time than can be set on the unit controller, the nearest LED to which the set time in the BMS is rounded flashes. To save the set values, leave the controller idle (approx.
6. Replacing Filters Before starting any service work, the power supply must be switched off. During the installation, the switch must be secured against being switched on again by an unauthorised person. The unit is equipped with a filter clogging countdown for approx. 6 months (approx. 4400 hours). The countdown reads the unit's real operation.
Hang a plastic design cover on the plastic spikes located in the unit body At the bottom of the unit, there secure the cover (2x M6x20 screws) with adequate force - by hand, so that the cover does not loosen spontaneously, but at the same time does not get destroyed - deformed. Fig.
For cleaning the unit from coarse dirt or dust, use a vacuum cleaner or damp cloth with a common cleaning agent (e.g. soapy water). 7.1. Inspection - cleaning the exterior of the unit Externally inspect the unit over the entire surface of the unit casing with the plastic cover removed. To remove the plastic design cover, loosen the M6x20 plastic screws on the bottom of the unit.
