3004509-2019-08-29 1.2 Application Comfort ventilation EXHAUSTO VEX is used for comfort ventilation tasks. Operating temperature range for the unit – see section "Technical data". Prohibited uses The VEX unit is not to be used to transport solid particles or in areas where there is a risk of explosive gases.
● heating/cooling losses Condensation Condensation in the ducts may occur when the exhaust/outdoor air has high hu- midity. EXHAUSTO recommends a condensation outlet is also fitted at the lowest point in the ducts. Outdoor air intake The outdoor air intake must be dimensioned with sufficiently low airflow to prevent rain and snow being drawn into the duct system.

Handling 3004509-2019-08-29 To remove the fan unit Step Action Remove the fixing screw from the sliding rail, and release the ties on the motor cable. Pull the fan unit out to the stop (two screws) on the sliding rail. Dismount the motor cable from the motor con- trol on the sliding panel and pull it towards the motor through the rubber grommets.
After installation, check the VEX unit is completely level. 3.1.2 Integral mounting base The EXHAUSTO integral mounting base enables the air handling unit to be installed correctly. The base is equipped with adjustable machine shoes, so that the air han- dling unit can be fitted horizontally on a surface that is not level ( +/- 20 mm per me- tre).
Solution with HT Use HT pipe (HT, DN32, DIN4102), if the above solution is not employed (not sup- pipe plied by EXHAUSTO). 3.3 Water heating coil 3.3.1 Principles for connecting the water heating coil Mixing loop The diagrams below are simplified. The dimensioning of valves, pipes, etc. and heating coil connection must always be carried out by authorised fitters in accord- ance with applicable regulations and legislation.
