Installation - Zehnder Rittling VS Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Installation:

Check job site
Installation, operation and
maintenance instructions are
provided with each unit. Before
unit start-up, read all manuals and
become familiar with the unit and its
proper operation. Thoroughly check
out the system before operation.
Complete the inspections and
instructions listed in this manual to
prepare a unit for installation.
Vertical stack units are designed
for indoor installations. Most
installations are located in the corner
of the living space to be heated or
cooled. Refer to the Framing Rough-
In Detail in this manual for framing
dimensions.
To avoid equipment damage, do
not use these units as a source
of heating or cooling during
the construction process. The
mechanical components and filters
used in these units quickly become
clogged with construction dirt and
debris which may cause system
damage.
Installation: Check equipment
Upon receipt of shipment at
the job site, carefully check
the shipment against the bill
of lading. Make sure all units
have been received. Inspect the
carton of each unit and inspect
each unit for damage. Ensure
the shipping company makes
proper notation of any shortages
or damage on all copies of the
freight bill. Concealed damage
not discovered during unloading
must be reported to the shipping
company within 15 days of
receipt of the shipment.
Note:
It is the responsibility of the
purchaser to file all necessary
claims with the shipping
company.

model for the entering water
temperature of the job.
Be sure that the location

chosen for the unit
installation provides ambient
temperatures maintained
above freezing. Well water
applications are especially
susceptible to freezing.
Check local codes to be sure

a secondary drain pain is not
required under the unit.
Be sure that there will be

sufficient slope for condensate
drainage. A field supplied
condensate pump may be
required if drain slope is not
adequate.
Provide adequate clearance

for filter replacement, the
unit should not be secured
to framing. Do not allow
piping, conduit, etc., to block
servicing of the equipment.
Storage
If the equipment is not needed
immediately at the job site, it
should be left in its shipping
carton and stored in a clean,
dry area of the building or in a
warehouse. Units must be stored
in an upright position at all times.
Do not remove any equipment
from its shipping package until it
is needed for installation.
Protection
Once the equipment is properly
positioned on the job site, cover
the units with either a shipping
carton, vinyl film, or an equivalent
protective covering. Cap open
ends of piping that is stored on
a job site. This precaution is
especially important in areas
where painting, dry walling, or
spraying of fireproof material,
etc., has not yet been completed.
Foreign material that accumulates
within the units can prevent
proper start-up and necessitate
costly clean-up operations.
Before installing any of the
system components, be sure to
examine each pipe, fitting and
valve, and remove any dirt or
foreign material found in or on
these components.
DO NOT store or install units
in corrosive environments or in
locations subject to temperature
or humidity extremes (e.g.,
attics, garages, rooftops, etc.).
Corrosive conditions and high
temperature or humidity can
significantly reduce system
performance, reliability and
overall service life. Always move
units in an upright position.
Tilting units on their sides may
cause equipment damage.
