1. OPERATOR’S MANUAL 1. 1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Read the Operator’s Manual carefully before installation or any other activity related to work with the unit! AWENTA takes not responsibility for any damage resulting from incorrect operation, non-intended use or unauthorised repairs or modifications of the product.
1.2. INTENDED USE The unit is equipped with a cross-flow plate heat exchanger, electric heater (sold separately) and is designed to save thermal energy by its recuperation, being one of the elements used in energy-saving technology systems. The unit is considered a supplementary device and must not be used as a stand-alone, independent heating source.
1.5. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Specifications: AQUILA 305 Supply voltage 230 V AC / 50Hz Maximum power consumption 210 W Electrical protection class IP protection class IP22 Capacity (at 100 Pa) 313 m Max motor speed 4000 rpm Noise level 49 dB(A) Max.

LAYOUT OF CONNECTIONS – LEFT /RIGHT VERSIONS Left version (standard) Right version Connection ports designation: INTAKE – outdoor air intake duct EXHAUST – used air exhaust duct EXTRACT – duct removing used air from rooms SUPPLY – duct supplying air to rooms ________________________________________________________________ AQUILA 305 Instruction Manual...
1.9. OPERATION PRINCIPLE Fresh air is drawn in with the air intake located outside the building. Then, using ventilation ducts, the air is transported to the air handling unit. After filtering, it flows to the heat exchanger where heat energy exchange from the exhaust stream takes place.

● CEILING MOUNTING - The unit must be fixed to the ceiling allowing at least 500 mm length from the wall which is required to provide space for the air ducts if the VARR75-160 distribution box is installed. CAUTION: The ceiling to which the air handling unit will be fixed must not be permeable to water. It should effectively protect the unit from flooding even if the building's plumbing system fails.

Draining of condensate Connect the flexible condensate drain pipe to one of the ports of the drip tray, depending on the unit configuration (LEFT/RIGHT). The dia. 32 mm pipe should be bent to form a trap (the height difference between the upper and lower elbow of the trap should be at least 100 mm).
1.12. MAINTENANCE ATTENTION! It Is absolutely necessary to disconnect the control panel from power supply before performing any maintenance operations. ATTENTION! Do not use corrosive chemicals and solvents during any maintenance work. Filter replacement/cleaning Fouled filters increase air flow resistance which reduces the amount of air supplied to the rooms, and increases power consumption by the fans.
Heat exchanger/fan cleaning procedure ● Remove the locking screws (1); ● Remove the locking screws (1); ● Remove the heat exchanger snap-in shield (2); ● Remove the fixing screws (3); ● Remove the exchanger bracket (4); CAUTION: For the ceiling mounting, the exchanger can slide out after unscrewing the bracket! ●...
1.14. WASTE MANAGEMENT NOTICE Do not dispose of waste electrical equipment with household waste. The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on this product that it is waste electrical an electronic equipment (WEEE) at the end of its operating life and shall not be disposed with household waste. The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol specifies that the product is subject to obligatory waste segregation schedules for proper disposal.
2. NANO COLOR CONTROL PANEL 2.1. OPERATION PRINCIPLE The NANO COLOR determines the set room temperature and ventilation performance based on the selected operating program. Possible programs: ● By clock zones. You can set up two Comfort operation zones and one Out of Home zone (no is one in the apartment). Outside of these zones the Economy zone applies.
Installation site The NANO COLOR control panel is installed in the front panel of the air handling unit as a standard. It is possible to relocate or install an additional panel in the desired location in the house. The panel should be installed at the height of about 150 cm from the floor, away from sources of heat (e.g.
