Installation
Overview
The following instructions are intended to help prevent potential hazards and installation should only be carried
out by a qualified electrician and installer. This booklet covers both the Kinetic and Kinetic Plus. The control
systems are identical on all units. There are some differences during the physical installation that the installer
needs to be aware of.
NOTE: 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 500 mm tails to allow for internal routing.
Before Installation of the Unit
Inspect the Unit
When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the enclosed delivery note. Inspect the unit
for damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Customer Services. Each box contains a Kinetic HR unit and an
accessory pack containing wall brackets, condensate drain link pipe, worm-drive clip, fixings and product
documentation.
Lift and Move the Unit Safely
On page 5 check the weight of the unit that you are installing. Always use appropriate lifting techniques and
appliances when moving heavy equipment.
Check Site Requirements and Safety Notices
Check that the physical and environmental conditions for the site meet, or exceed, the requirements detailed in
the Technical Specification on page 5.
Read and observe the safety notices listed in Warnings and Safety Information on page 2.
Unit Installation
The Sentinel Kinetic unit is typically installed on a wall in a kitchen, storage cupboard, roof void, or similar. It will
fit in a 600 mm (external) x 300 mm deep (internal) kitchen wall cupboard.
The Sentinel Kinetic Plus unit is typically installed on a wall in a utility room, storage cupboard, roof void, or
similar.
The wall should have sufficient strength to support the unit.
Take into consideration the position of the electrical services and the condensate drain.
Ensure there is adequate access for installation, operation and maintenance.
It is recommended that a local disconnection mains and sensor terminal box is installed within 1m of the unit to
facilitate future maintenance.
The unit MUST always be mounted vertically with ducting exiting vertically or horizontally. Do not use this unit
as a support for any other equipment.
Select Unit Orientation
The unit is supplied from the factory with the condensate exit (and the atmosphere spigots) to the right of the
unit, when viewed from the front. Access is required to the Control Unit on the front of the unit in order to
commission, operate and maintain the unit. If the unit is to be installed as supplied, skip the following section
and go to Vertical Discharge Condensate Installation on page 13.
