General information Safety Power supply CAUTION Always disconnect the power supply to the unit if an error occurs that cannot be rectified via the control panel. CAUTION If an error occurs on electrically conductive parts of the unit, alway contact an authorised electrician to rectify the error. CAUTION Always disconnect the power to supply to the unit before opening the unit doors, for instance for installation, inspection, cleaning and filter change.
Requirements to quality of water The hot water tank in the Nilan units is made of steel, which has been given a double enamelling, to ensure an extra long service life. In addition, the tank is equipped with a sacrificial anode as extra protection. It is important that the sacrificial anode is replaced regularly.
The heat pump has a reversible cooling circuit, which means that the cooling circuit can be turned and it can cool the supply air in the summer. Compact P2 can cool the supply air by up to 10 ° C in relation to the outdoor air. Due to the low air exchange, usually 1/2 time per hour, it will not act as an air conditioning system.

If you want to adjust the fan speed level in accordance with the level of use of the dwelling/building (amount of people), you can retrofit a CO2 sensor. Nilan’s CO sensors calibrate automatically. On the control panel, you select the CO2 level you want. If this level is exceeded, ventilation will automatically increase.
To make it esay to service the unit in the future, we recommend that you fit a flexible connection between the unit and the duct system. Nilan flexible sound damper absorbs sounds effectively from both the duct system and from roof stacks.
This should be placed in the outdoor air intake, which will reduce the pollen count in the dwelling. Trolley A Nilan trolley makes it easy to transport the heavy units into the home, without having to carry out heavy lifting yourself with the risk of injury.
The ventilation unit is delivered fully assembled and wrapped on a pallet. You can lift the unit from the pallet and transport it into the building by using a Nilan lifting dolly. You thereby avoid heavy lifting. The unit is delivered from the factory fitted with 4 lifting straps, one in each corner.
Ground collector loop Examples of the laying By laying the geothermal circuit there are some range distances, which need to be observed to get a unit which will have an effective and smooth operation. Further local authorities may make requirements for installation and acceptance of the facility before entry into use.

Change from 400V to 230V The standard connection in the unit is 3x400V + N. In those countries or areas where this standard is not applicable, the unit can easily be switched to either 3x230V or 1x230V. The terminal block can be found in the control system for GEO. Please refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit. 3 x 400V + N 1.
Circulation pump In Compact P2 AIR and Compact P2 GEO, there is a Power supply cable for circulation pump for central circuit in the Electrical connec- tion panel. The cable is marked with a sticker with the text "Circulation pump" and ends in 3 screw terminals.
The panel is moved out of the unit and the wires are routed through the wire bushing and connected to the terminal block, as shown below. Nilan offers a connection cable with RJ12 plugs of 15 m. It is also possible to customize a cable up to 50 m in length. A standard LAN cable is used for this.
Electrical connections accessories SHW hot water tank The SHW hot water tank is connected to Compact P2 GEO connection panel as shown below. The SHW tank has its own power supply via a Schuko plug. 1. Plug for control of supplemen- tary electric heating in the SHW tank.
If you want to run Smart Grid, you will have to connect the Smart Grid modem to the ventilation unit as shown on the picture. The Smart Grid signal is connected to the circuit board in Compact P2, which will also control AIR and GEO if these are connected up.
External electrical pre-heating element It is possible to purchase an external electrical pre-heating element for frost protection of the ventilation unit. The electrical pre-heating element is mounted in the outdoor air duct before the unit with the necessary temperature sensor. If it is desired to see the actual outdoor air temperature on the control panel, the temperature sensor T1 / T8 must be led out into the duct before the pre-heating element.
Mounting an expansion PCB on the CTS602 circuit board An expansion PCB allows you to expand the functions of the control system. It makes it possible for you to add accessories as shown on the following pages. 1. In order to access the circuit board on which the expan- 2.

Compact. This makes instal- lation easier. ATTENTION The expansion PCB and the connections must be installed by a certified electrician. The expansion PCB is an accessory to the CTS602 circuit board. Nilan does not supply external components.
User selection 2 User selection 2 offers you the same options as User selection 1. In addition, you get the option of a relay output that can control e.g. a damper or whatever external function you may need to control. The 8-pin plug and the terminal block are located at the top of the unit.
DTBU damper solution If it is desired to run the cooker hood over the ventilation system, it may in some cases be difficult to get enough air for the cooker hood. To solve that challenge, an EM-box solution can be used. However, if there is not enough space in the installation for an EM box, you can alternatively connect a DTBU damper in the duct system, which has the same function, except that it does not have a built-in dirt filter.
Joint alarm It may be difficult to notice alarms if the unit is located in a place where access is difficult or infrequent, and if the control panel is loca- ted in the same place. An external alarm indicator in the form of an electric bulb or an acoustic signal can be connected to the ventilation unit and announce when an alarm occurs.
External underfloor heating control To avoid the heat pump producing heat when there is no need for it, it is advisable to connect the underfloor heating control on the te- lestats to AIR/GEO. A screw terminal is mounted on the connections panel for controlling heating/cooling. The loop, which is in HEAT and COM, is removed and the signal from the floor heating control is connected here.
Condensate drain Important information Compact P2 is supplied with a reinforced 20 mm condensate drain tube with an integral water trap. ATTENTION Run the condensate drain tube to the nearest drain, allowing an even fall of at least 1 cm per m.
All work must be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with relevant legislation and regulations. Nilan's hot water tanks are double-enamelled, ensuring long life. The efficient foam insulation protects against unnecessary heat loss. All connection nozzles for water have 3/4" thread and are located in the tank bottom.
Requirements to quality of water The hot water tank in the Nilan units is made of steel, which has been given a double enamelling, to ensure an extra long service life. In addition, the tank is equipped with a sacrificial anode as extra protection. It is important that the sacrificial anode is replaced regularly.

Plumbing connections for accessories Safety group CAUTION Safety group must be installed in connection with hot water tanks. When water is heated to 60 °C, it expands by 2%. A pressured tank could burst without a safety valve keeping excess water out. The safety valve should therefore drip during warming up.
Passive cooling module It is possible to buy Compact P GEO 3/6/9 with a passive cooling module, which can cool the home in the summer, should the need arise. The cold brine water is passed through a plate heat exchanger, which cools the water in the central heating system. The cooling module is pre-assembled from the factory and connected to the CTS control.
The relay output 10 is activated and turns a tree-way-valve, so the brine water is led to the passive heat exchanger (not a Nilan delivery). When the contact is switched off again, GEO will go back to normal operation.
Domestic hot water tank The GEO unit can be connected to an external hot water tank (SHW) and to the hot water tank in the Compact P2 (DHW). A three-way valve, which can be purchased as an accessory, is required.
2. Return flow from the heat pump coil in the SHW tank to the GEO heat pump 3. Connection for domestic cold water supply 4. Supply flow of pre-heated domestic hot water from the SHW tank to the DHW tank in Compact P2 5. Supply flow of domestic hot water from the DHW tank 6.
Connecting to DHW hot water If the demand for domestic hot water exceeds the capacity of the heat pump in the Compact P2 unit, GEO can be connected to the solar coil in the DHW tank. It will then help heat the domestic hot water.
This is to avoid vibrations from the unit being transmitted to the duct system. It will also make it easier to move the unit, which may be necessary during future services of the unit. Nilan can supply Soundflex tubes that you can use as flexible connections between the ventilation unit and the duct system. They will also reduce sounds from the system considerably.
Extract air Install the extract air valves in high-humidity rooms and place them strategically where they can extract humid and vitiated air from the dwelling/building most efficiently. High-humidity rooms are, for example: • Bathroom • Lavatory • Kitchen • Utility room Supply air Install supply air valves in living areas.
Balancing Important information ATTENTION To ensure the ventilation system operates optimally, it is important that it is balanced correctly. We recommend that experts do this. It is important to measure the total supply air and the total extract air. The system must have a minimum vacuum, which means it draw out more air than it blows in.
Start-up Central heating Filling with water ATTENTION Before starting the heat pump and the circulation pump, the central heating circuit must be filled with water. Fill central heating circuit with water via the feed tap until the correct water pressure is obtained. It is important that all circuits in the central heating system are open during filling.
Emergency operation Emergency mode domestic hot water If an error occurs in the control system or components in the Compact P2, and the unit therefore stops, it will not be able to produce domestic hot water. If the installer is not able to come right away or the error happens outside the opening hours, and you therefore cannot contact the in- staller, there is a possibility to get hot water by setting the unit into emergency mode.
