New sets of filters can be acquired from your installer or wholesaler. 10.2.1.3 Heat exchanger SAVE VTR 250/B is equipped with a highly efficient, rotating heat exchanger. Required supply air temperature is there- fore normally maintained without adding additional heat.
Service | Fig. 10 Overheat protection reset button 10.3 Replacing rotor drive belt Note: Depending on model, left or right, it may be necessary to remove the heat exchanger in order to replace a broken drive belt since the belt pulley cannot be accessed. If the rotor motor is placed at the back of the unit, it is recommended to remove the heat exchanger to change the drive belt, see chapter 10.3.2.
| Service Fig. 11 Rotor drive belt 10.3.1 Heat exchanger mounted 1. Stop the unit by disconnecting the mains. 2. Open the front hatch. 3. Remove the broken drive belt. 4. Use tape to attach the drive belt to the rotating heat exchanger, and rotate the exchanger by hand to get hold of the drive belt.
Troubleshooting | Note: If the drive belt slips, the drive belt may be too long and needs to be shortened. Cut the drive belt 5 mm and go to step 7. 9. Mount the heat exchanger. Don’t forget to reconnect the rotor power and sensor cables. 10.Close the front hatch and connect the unit to mains.
