Installation Operation and Monitoring Product Description Mechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR). This heat recovery unit is designed for the energy efficient ventilation of houses and similar dwellings, conforming to the latest requirements of the Building Regulations document F 2010. The unit is designed for continuous 24-hour extract ventilation of stale moist air from bathrooms, toilets, utility rooms and kitchens.
Installation Overview Before installation of the unit We advise installers to fix all mains and sensor wiring along with any internal accessories prior to fixing the MVHR unit in position, leaving approximately 500mm tails to allow for internal routing. Inspect the Unit When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the enclosed delivery note.
Installation Wall Mounting the Unit Top of unit Step 1: Mark the wall bracket position using the dimensions shown. Note the position of the top of the unit in relation to the wall bracket. Ensure the bracket position is horizontal. Step 2: Attach the wall bracket to the wall using appropriate fixings.
The board may then be attached to joists, flooring, or equivalent. Vent-Axia recommends that where possible, the wall bracket is used in conjunction with any floor mount solution to prevent the unit from tipping.
Installation Floor Mounting the Unit (Alternate Method) Step 1: The unit has 44 x 12mm deep fixing holes on the underside suitable for a No.6 screw. The holes are configured to allow fitment of most standard kitchen foot types (not supplied).
Installation Vertical Discharge Condensate Installation Note A trap must be fitted between the condensate drain of the unit and the rest of the waste system. A waterless trap is recommended, as they are not susceptible to drying out during warmer periods when no condensate is formed.
Installation Attaching the Ducting 1. Always use a short piece of insulated flexible duct maximum 150 mm long, extended to its full length when connecting to ductwork. 2. Securely connect the ducting to the spigots using worm-drive clips or suitable plastic ties.
Installation Electrical Installation WARNING THE ENSURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CONTROLS ARE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING ACCESS COVERS Step 1: Remove the outer cover by pressing the tabs either side of the control module and lifting the cover outwards from the bottom edge.
Installation Connecting Switches and Sensors The unit can be switched to boost by applying 240V to the LS input. For good EMC engineering practice, any sensor, switched live or Volt free cables should not be installed within 50mm of other cable or on the same metal cable tray as other cables. Connect any switches or sensors required to control the unit by connecting to the terminal connectors at the bottom of the control unit as shown on the next page in Table 1.
