2. General information for installer
Installation, commissioning, repair, maintenance must be carried out by a qualified installation
contractor.
Any changes in the electrical installation must be undertaken by a qualified electrician.
Service work on the refrigerant circuit must be carried out by a qualified refrigeration technician.

2.1 Transport and storage :

Heat pump must be transported and stored
upright and dry. It may however be carefully laid
on its back when being moved into a building.

2.2 Inspection of installation:

Current regulations require the heating installation to be inspected before it is commissioned.
The inspection must be carried out by a suitable qualified person and should be documented.
The above applies to closed heating systems. If the heat pump is replaced, the installation must
be inspected again.

3. Installation
3.1 Before installation
When installing the machine, please follow these instructions:
1) Make sure that the machine is in vertical.
2) Install an airtight water trap on a non-freezing location to compensate for fan pressure.
3) The height of the water trap must be at least 100 mm.
4) Make sure that the drain flows downwards all the way from the unit.
5) Pour some water into the drip tray of the unit to verify that it functions properly.
6) If freezing of the water trap may occur, it is necessary to install a thermostat and an
electrical heater to prevent
freezing when the temperature drops below +2C°.
7) Air flow adjustments must be made on both the supply and exhaust side prior to normal use
of the machine. It is
important to have a balance between supply and exhaust air volumes
8) It is recommended to keep the ducts closed until the unit is adjusted and working.

3
3.2 Duct connection
At all duct connections there is a sticker indicating which ventilation duct to be connected.
Connect the supply air inlet: Duct from the unit to the supply outlet in the living room.
Connect the room air inlet: Duct from rooms to the unit.
Connect the fresh air inlet: Duct from fresh air to the unit.
Connect the exhaust air outlet: Duct from unit to the escaping roof cowls/external grills.

4
3.3 Duct system
It is recommended that the duct system is made of spiral ducting with rubber ring seal fittings
in order to provide a tight and durable duct system. To achieve a satisfactory low sound level
from the unit, silencers must always be fitted to the supply and extract air duct system between
the unit and the first supply and extract valves.
It is recommended that the air speed in the ducts is dimensioned at a sufficiently low level to
prevent noise from the supply and extract valves.
When positioning fresh air and extract roof cowls/grills, make sure that the two air flows do
not intercept causing escaping air to be drawn in again. It is recommended that grills are placed
on the north or east side of the house to ensure optimum comfort.
In flats/houses where it is not possible to provide a sufficient distance between the fresh air
and the escaping.

5
3.4 Insulation of ducts in cold loft spaces
In order to high recovery rate of the unit, it is necessary to insulate the ducts correctly.

3.4.1 Supply and extract air duct:

To minimize heat losses from the duct system in cold loft spaces, the supply and extract
ducts must be insulated with minimum a 100 mm insulation mat. If insulation type A is chosen, it
is recommended that it is done with two layers of 50 mm mats wrapped with paper or foil on the
outside and with staggered joints between the two layers. If the ducts are positioned on the rafter
foot, type B may be chosen. The insulation must always be tightly wrapped round the ducts.

3.4.2 Fresh air and exhaust air ducts in cold spaces:

It is recommended that fresh air and exhaust air ducts are insulated with a minimum of 50
mm insulation. The fresh air duct is insulated to prevent warm air in the loft in summer from heat
up the fresh air. Make sure to seal the termination where the escaping duct is led through the roof
or through the gable end in order to avoid condensation damage.
6
3.5 Condensate drain
The unit produces up to 5-8 liters of condensate per day. It is therefore important that the
condensate drain is correctly made.
The condensate drain pipe must be mounted with the necessary gradient and be led to an
internal outlet.
If the unit is installed in a cold loft space, the condensate drain pipe must be insulated to
prevent freezing of the condensate in the pipe.
However, it is recommended that the water trap is installed in a heated space to ensure that
the water does not freeze.
If installation problems make it impossible to secure the condensate drain pipe from freezing
by insulation, it will be necessary to mount a thermostat-controlled heating coil round the
condensate drain pipe.

7
3.6 Insulation of ducts in warm spaces
Supply and extract air ducts:
In warm spaces the supply and extract channels must be insulated with 50 mm insulation.
Supply and extract ducts in heated spaces do not require insulation.

Fresh air and exhaust air ducts:

In warm loft spaces and warm rooms the fresh and exhaust air ducts must be insulated with
minimum 50 mm insulation. In addition, plastic or aluminum foil must be wrapped around the
insulation in order to avoid condensate in the insulation.

8
4. Electrical connections
The electrical connection must be carried out by an authorized electrician.
See the electrical wiring diagram.
The cable between the unit and the wire controller is a 3 cable - 0.25 mm ²cable with a
maximum length of 20 m.
Before connecting the machine, make sure that the feeder is disconnected to the electrical
network.
Characteristics of the electric supply:
- 230 V +/- 10%, single-phase current, 50 Hz
- Mode of neutral TT and TN.S; the circuit of heat pump must be connected to an earth circuit.

Characteristic minimum of the protection:

- Protection must be of 16 A, by circuit breaker or fuse; it must protect the Heat recovery
ventilation with Heat pump exclusively; the circuit breaker must be specified with curve D, the
fuse must be specified Am.
- Differential protection : 30 mA (the length of cable between the connector block of the heat
pump and the protection of should not exceed 12 m).

4.1 Commissioning of the unit

4.1.1 To achieve optimal running of the unit it must be

adjusted with air measuring equipment.

4.1.2 If you wish to start up the unit before adjustment, do

as follows.
Before starting up the unit:
1. Make sure that the machine unit is correctly mounted and that all ducts are insulated as
required.
2. Make sure that inspection doors can be opened so that service and maintenance of the unit
can be carried out.
3. Make sure that filters are clean (may be dirty from installation work).
4. Make sure that the condensate drain is correctly mounted with a water trap and is protected
from freezing.
Pour 1 liter water into the condensate tray and make sure that it can run through the
condensate drain pipe without hindrance.
5. Made sure that all duct is sealed well.

The unit can now be started up and run until adjustment with air measurement equipment has
been carried out.

6. Refrigerant system drawing
The following drawing is heating mode:

Working principle of a Heat Pump:

The working fluid (R410a) ,in its gaseous state, is pressurized and circulated through the
system by a compressor .On the discharge side of the compressor ,the hot and highly
pressurized gas is cooled in a heat exchange , called a condenser , until it condenses into a high
pressure , ,moderate temperature liquid . The condensed refrigerant then passes through a
pressure -lowering device like an expansion valve ,capillary tube ,or possibly a work -extracting
device such as a turbine .This device then passes the low pressure ,(almost) liquid refrigerant to
another heat exchanger ,the evaporator where the refrigerant evaporates into a gas via heat
absorption .The refrigerant then returns to the compressor and the cycle is repeated .

9. Maintenance.
The following instructions must be following in order to ensure optimum operation of the unit:
When the unit has been installed for the first time, make sure the water drains are checked
after a few days to make sure they are performing well.

9.1 CORE heat exchanger:

Inspect the CORE heat exchanger every year. If it is dirty, remove it
and wash in warm soap water and then rinse, if possible in the
bathroom using the shower head.

9.2 Fan:
Every year check the two fan motor for dirt. If they are dirty they
may be cleaned with a brush, bottle washer etc.

9.3 air filter

Every 3 months check two air filters for dirty. If they are dirty,
they may be cleaned by shaking it and by removing the worst dirt,
or change a new one.
Do not vacuum or clean at high air pressure, it will damage the
filter.

9.4 condensate drain:

Before outside temperatures fall to 5°C, measure that
the condensate drain is not blocked by dirt and make sure
that there is water in the water trap.
Pour 1 liter of water into the condensate tray and make
sure it runs off without hindrance. If the condensate drain
does not work, this could lead to water damage in the
dwelling.
