2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • All work in connection with the assembly, installation and commissioning of the unit must be carried out by specially trained personnel. The unit can only be taken into operation if it has been assembled in accordance with these installation and operation manual. All protective devices must be effective.
3. FANS Direct-driven centrifugal fans (plug fans) with one of the following motor: • AC motor; • EC motor; • PM motor. Important: Electrical connection may only be undertaken by technically trained personnel. Before making the electrical motor connections, compare the connection specifications with the specifications on the motor identification plate. Identification plate is attached on the inner side of the motor cover or provided in the technical table on the motor.

5. HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS 5.1 PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER In the plate heat exchanger, the warm extract air and the cool fresh air, separated by thin plates, pass each other in counter-flow. No mixing of the two air streams takes place. Therefore, the transmission of dirt, odours, moisture, bacteria, etc. is impossible. Heat transmitted from extract air to fresh air purely by conduction because of the temperature difference between the two air streams: the warm extract air cooled down and the cool fresh air heated up.

Recommended cable cross-sectional area (mm2) for connecting 1-phase rotor motor: CABLE CONDUCTOR CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA, mm PURPOSE Motor power supply cable NOTE: Rotor motor must be grounded. Ground wire must be connected to the ground screw at the motor junction box, and the other end of the wire must be connected to the ground loop of the device.
General: If rotor does not rotate, check if: • All cable connections (is any) are connected; • Rotor motor is properly connected; • Power supply voltage matches voltage indicated on the rotor motor plate; • Thermal protection of the motor is activated (if any). When thermal protection is activated, contact becomes open (NO). After starting the device, inspect: •...

7. HUMIDIFIERS 7.1 STEAM HUMIDIFIER Immersed electrode humidifier for comfort air conditioning applications. Humidifier consist of humidifier cabinet placed near air handling unit and steam distributors installed inside air handling unit section with stainless steel drip tray or inside air ductwork. Two humidifier types available: X-plus and Basic.
8. AIR FILTER SECTION The air filters in a ventilation system prevent dust and other impurities reaching the premises. They also protect sensitive components in the air handling unit, such as air heaters, coolers and heat exchangers from contamination. Changing of filter should be primarily based on clogging, indicated by final pressure drop. Both visual inspection and monitoring of pressure drop is recommended.
9. DAMPER SECTION The function of dampers is to control air supply to ducts, to close unit when the system is off, to prevent cold air to get in to the premises. Damper can be controlled manually with handle or automatically with actuator. Damper actuator control types: open / close or modulating (0-10V).

Control cabinet ** Check if the control cabinet is firmly installed on the device (when integrated externally). Check if there are no signs of damage outside and inside the control cabinet. Electrical components are not damaged and in place. Check if there are no foreign objects, waste, moisture or water inside the cabinet. If yes, remove. Check if the cables inside the control cabinet are connected in accordance with the basic connection diagram.
