Page 4: Product Description
Product Description Product Description Mechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR). This heat recovery unit is designed for the energy efficient ventilation of houses and similar dwellings. The unit is designed for continuous 24-hour extract ventilation of stale moist air from bathrooms, toilets, utility rooms and kitchens. As the stale air is extracted, a heat exchanger within the unit transfers up to 93% of the extract air’s heat, into the supply air entering the habitable rooms such as bedrooms and lounge. -
Page 5: Installation
Installation Overview Before installation of the unit 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 500mm tails to allow for internal routing. Inspect the Unit When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the enclosed delivery note. -
Page 6: Wall Mountuing A Unit
Installation Wall Mounting the Unit Step 1: Mark the wall bracket position using the dimensions shown. Note the position of the top of the unit in relation to the wall bracket. Ensure the bracket position is horizontal. Step 2: Attach the wall bracket, using the supplied fixings, only if fixing into massonary walls/surfaces. -

Page 11: Connecting A Boost (Light) Switch From A Different Circuit, Controllers And Sensors
Installation Connecting a Boost (Light) Switch from a different circuit, Controllers and Sensors For good EMC engineering practice, any sensor, switched live or Volt free cables should not be installed within 50mm of other cables or in the same metal cable tray as other cables. When fitting external controls, all cables should be routed through the back box on the rear of the unit, as shown below. - Page 12 Installation Connecting a Boost (Light) Switch from a different circuit If the supply used for the Switched Live is on a different circuit to the power connections, the connections LS2 and NS2 should be used, via a separate isolator. Please follow circuit diagram as shown.
