In the Quick guide you will find important information regarding installation and start-up of the unit. If you require further information
regarding, for instance, installation of accessories or additional settings in the software, or if you need an extended user manual, the
following documents can be downloaded from the Nilan website:
• Installation instructions
• Software instructions
• User Manual
• Wiring diagram
The instructions can be downloaded from https://www.nilan.dk/en-gb/frontpage/download.
If you have questions regarding installation and operation of the unit after having read the instructions, please contact your nearest
Nilan dealer. A list of Nilan dealers is available on www.nilan.dk/forhandlere.
From factory, the unit has been tested and is ready for operation.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the power supply to the unit if an error occurs that cannot be rectified via the control panel.
CAUTION
If an error occurs on electrically conductive parts of the unit, alway contact an authorised electrician to rectify the error.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the power to supply to the unit before opening the unit doors, for instance for installation, inspection,
cleaning and filter change.
ATTENTION
The unit must be started up immediately after installation and connection to the duct system.
When the ventilation unit is not in operation, humidity from the rooms will enter the duct system and create condensate
water that can run out of the valves and cause damage to floors and furniture. Condensation may also form in the ven-
tilation unit, which can damage its electronics and fans.
Comfort 252/302 Top is a ventilation unit with heat recovery. The unit is intended for air volumes of up to 253/345 m3/h at an external
duct pressure of 100 Pa.
The unit is used primarily in residential buildings. Due to its low sound level it is particularly suitable for ventilation in apartments. The
unit ventilates the dwelling by drawing out damp and vitiated air through valves placed in, for instance, bathroom, lavatory, kitchen
and utility room. It then blows fresh outdoor air in through valves placed in living areas such as sitting room, family room and bedrooms.
The cold outdoor air is heated up by the warm extract air in the high efficiency counterflow heat exchanger. This ensures limited heat
loss through ventilation.
As standard, the unit is supplied with ISO Coarse > 90% (G4) plate filters that serve to protect the unit from dirt. If you require increased
filtration of the outdoor air, you can order an ePM1 50% (F7) pollen filter as an accessory.

EM-box
If your ventilation unit is not a Polar version with an integral pre-heating element, we recommend that you
purchase an external pre-heating element as frost protection of the ventilation unit.
During prolonged periods of frost, the high efficiency counterflow heat exchanger will ice up. To prevent ice
formation, we recommend that you install an electrical pre-heating element.
The pre-heating element consumes limited energy and it ensures efficient heat recovery without periods of
defrosting the counterflow heat exchanger. You thereby achieve an overall reduction in energy
consumption.
Comfort 252/302 Top is ready for installation of an integral pre-heating element.
The pre-heating element is easy to install behind the counterflow heat exchanger without using screws or
fittings. The 230V power supply is then fed out into the unit for easy and fast connection.
The pre-heating element does not regulate itself according to the outdoor temperature, as is most common,
but according to the discharge air temperature in the heat exchanger. This results in a much more precise
regulation in line with requirements, and it therefore saves energy.
Installing an after-heating element allows you to control the supply air temperature in the following cases:
• You want to use the ventilation air to heat the dwelling
• You want to control the supply air temperature to avoid potential cold draughts and coldness from the
ventilation
The electrical after-heating element is for installation in the supply air duct. It would be an advantage to place
it within the climate screen. It comes with the necessary sensors and connectors.
Installing an after-heating element will allow you to control the supply air temperature in the following
cases:
• You want to use the ventilation air to heat the dwelling
• You want to control the supply air temperature to avoid potential cold draughts and coldness from the
ventilation
The water after-heating element is for installation in the supply air duct. It would be an advantage to place it
within the climate screen. It comes with the necessary sensors and connectors as well as a two-way
regulation valve for the hot water.
If you want to run the cooker hood via the ventilation unit, in some cases there may be insufficient air for
cooker hood extraction.
If you install an EM-box, you can regulate the extracted air when the cooker hood is in operation, so that less
air is drawn from, for instance, the bathroom and the utility room. This will allow enough air for the cooker
hood to extract sufficiently.
The EM-box is fitted with a metal filter that cleans the air in the cooker hood of grease particles efficiently. It
thereby protects the ventilation unit.
Fire automation system box
Water trap with ball
If there is insufficient space for mounting an EM-box in the installation, you can achieve the same effect by
controlling the extract air with a DTBU damper.
You then have to adjust the duct system yourself with a connection to the cooker hood.
If you want to adjust the fan speed level according to use of the dwelling/building (amount of people), you
can retrofit a CO2-sensor.
You select the CO2-level you want via the control panel. If this level is exceeded, ventilation will increase.
With an expansion PCB, it is possible to expand the functions within the control system.
• Connecting an after-heating element (supplied with the heating element)
• Connecting a CO2-sensor
• Connecting a joint alarm
The Comfort ventilation unit has a function in its control system that can control 1-2 fire dampers.
If you want to activate this function, Nilan can supply you with a connection box, a "Fire automation system
box”, with the following connection options:
• Connection of 1-2 fire dampers
• Connection of external fire thermostat
• Connection of user selection 1 (cooker hood)
• Connection of Modbus communication to, for instance, CTS unit
You connect the box up with the supplied 1 m cable with RJ45 connector.
A water trap must be installed to ensure that the condensate water can drain freely from the ventilation
unit.
Condensation does not form during the summer months and a regular water trap may therefore dry out. If
that happens, the water trap will lose its function. When winter returns and condensate water forms again,
the water will not be able to drain from the condensate tray. Condensate water may then leak from the unit
and cause serious water damage. Every autumn it is therefore important to check that there is water in the
water trap.
However, if you install a Nilan water trap with ball, the ball will ensure permanent function of the water trap.
This saves you refilling the water trap manually every autumn to ensure that it works.
Flexible sound damper
Pollen filter
Cooker hood filter box
Wall mount brackets
It is important to ensure that the ventilation unit does not transfer vibrations to the building. The ventilation
unit should therefore be placed on a vibration absorbing material.
Nilan can supply effective vibration absorbers to place under the ventilation unit. They are sold in packs of 4.
To make it esay to service the unit in the future, we recommend that you fit a flexible connection between the
unit and the duct system.
Nilan flexible sound damper absorbs sounds effectively from both the duct system and from roof stacks.
The ventilation unit comes, as standard, with a plate filter to protect the unit.
If the dwelling is used by anybody with, for instance, pollen allergies, you may benefit from purchasing a
pollen filter. This should be placed in the outdoor air intake, which will reduce the pollen count in the dwelling.
If the extract air needs extra filtration, Nilan can supply a Cooker hood filter box.
This can provide extra protection of the ventilation unit if you connect a cooker hood that has not got good
filters. It can also help air extraction from, for instance, dormitory rooms where cooker hoods are rarely
installed.
Nilan can supply wall mount brackets with vibration absorbers which will ease the process of mounting ven-
tilation units with top connections.
You assemble the wall bracket, mount it on the wall and simply place the ventilation unit into the bracket.
There must be room below it for the condensate drain.
Extension cable HMI control panel
Functional cable
The control panel for the ventilation unit is connected up with a short wire so it can be installed close to the
unit.
If you place the unit so the control panel is out of sight, for instance in a cupboard or
in the loft, you can order a 15 m extension cable with plug. This allows you to place the control panel where it
is visible to the user.
It is important that the control panel is visible so the user can see alarms when, for example, filters need
replacing.
The following external functions can be connected to the ventilation unit via an RJ45 connector:
• User selection 1 and 2 (cooker hood)
• Modbus communication
• Fire thermostat or external fire automation system
You can adapt an RJ45 connector yourself in line with the instructions. To facilitate installation, Nilan can
supply a 10 m LAN cable with the correct RJ45 connector for the three functions.
Positioning of the ventilation unit
The unit makes little noise and it produces only weak vibrations, but you should still take into account potential vibrations that can
spread from the unit to individual building components. In order to separate the unit from its underlying surface, it is therefore
recommended that you fit vibration absorbers under the unit. There should be approx. 10 mm distance to other building components
and to permanent fixtures.
Top unit
ATTENTON
When positioning the unit, you should always consider future service and maintenance.
It must be easy to replace filters, and it must be possible to remove, for instance, the exchanger, and to replace fans or
other components.
ATTENTON
A free space is recommended in front of the ventilation unit of at least 60 cm.
ATTENTON
The unit must be level to enable proper drainage from the condensate tray.
ATTENTION
If you fit flashings above the unit, there must be enough space to remove these easily.
Mounting the ventilation unit
The unit is equipped with mounting brackets with holes for wall mounting at the top back of the unit.
Wall brackets for mounting unit
You can purchase wall brackets to use for mounting Top ventilation units.
Included are 4 sylomers (vibration absorbers) that will ensure effective absorption of potential vibrations from the ventilation unit
to the underlying surface/wall.
Contents: 2 side pieces and 3 brackets.
Bag with 4 vibration absorbers and 12 rivets for Ø5 mm holes.
Rivet the wall mount with a rivet gun as described in the
instructions that are supplied with the wall mount.
The wall mount bracket has 6 holes for installation on the wall.
Finally, place the vibration absorbers one in each corner and
place the ventilation unit on the wall mount.
It is important to check that wires are not damaged or squeezed during connection and use.

Mount the HMI panel on the wall using the integrated wall bracket..
The panel should be placed in a visible spot so it is possible to change settings and to monitor warnings or alarms regarding operation
of the unit.
ATTENTION
If you want a longer cable, use a standard LAN cable, max 50 meters.
Nilan offers a 15 meter cable with plugs on both ends.
The wall bracket is located at the back of
the panel. You can detach it by loosening
the bracket at the bottom of the panel.
You can remove it.
Mount the wall bracket on the wall using
2 screws.
Click the RJ12 plug into place at the
bottom of the HMI panel. The wire can run
down along the wall, into the wall or
through the groove at the back of the
panel.
Electrical connection unit
Power supply
The unit is supplied with an EU plug for a 230V power supply. This means that, in principle, you have no protection of electrical
grounding. You can secure electrical grounding by connecting the plug to a socket with a ground pin.
You can also connect an adapter for a plug with a ground pin. You can fit this plug adapter on the unit, so that the unit is secured
electrical grounding to the earthing system.

Functional cable
Many of the external connections are made via an RJ45 port that is installed on the ventilation unit. See the connections overview to
locate the RJ45 port. From factory, a shunt plug for fire thermostat connection has been plugged into the RJ45 port. This must be re-
moved before the LAN cable is plugged in.
The LAN cable enables the following functions:
• User selection 1
• User selection 2
• Modbus
• Fire thermostat / external fire automation system

ATTENTION
If you adapt an RJ45 cable yourself, be aware that wire 8 (Brown) can become live with 12V and must not be short
circuited.
In Nilan’s LAN cable the wires that are not used are not connected up to the RJ45 connector. With Nilan’s LAN cable there
is therefore no risk of short circuits.
User selections 1 and 2 (cooker hood)
If the fire automation system has not been activated in the software, you will have access to both User selection 1 and User selection
2. If the fire automation system has been activated, you will only have access to User selection 1.
The user selection functions are used to override standard operation. The input signal must come from a potential-free contact. When
connection is established, the function with the settings that have been selected on the control panel under Service/User Selection is
activated.
The following are examples of situations when user selection functions are used.
Connection via Nilan Functional cable
Connection of User selection 1
A potential-free signal is connected to User selection 1 via the following:
1. Green/white
2. Green
NB: If fire thermostat/external fire automation system is not connected up, make a shunt between:
1. Green/white
7. Brown/white
Connection of User selection 2 (overriding the operation)
A potential-free signal is connected to User selection 1 via the following:
1. Green/white
2. Orange/white
NB: If fire thermostat/external fire automation system is not connected up, make a shunt between:
1. Green/white
7. Brown/white
Cooker hood
If you choose to run the cooker hood via the ventilation unit, the cooker hood will send a potential-free sig-
nal to the ventilation unit when you switch it on. When this happens, the ventilation unit increases the air
volume to the set level, so that enough air is drawn through the cooker hood.
Fireplace/wood-
burning stove
Normally, ventilation is balanced with slightly negative pressure in the dwelling so that dampness is not
pressed into the building components. This, however, is a disadvantage if you light a fire in your fireplace/
wood-burning stove as the smoke will then enter the dwelling instead of being drawn out through the
chimney.
When lighting a fire in the fireplace/wood-burning stove, you can activate the user function with a
potential-free contact that ensures positive pressure in the dwelling. Smoke is then drawn out of the
chimney as intended.
Prolonged
operation
If the ventilation unit is used in an office or a school where ventilation is reduced outside opening hours, it
may be necessary to increase ventilation temporarily if the building is used in the evening for, for instance,
meetings.
In that case you can have a potential-free contact that is activated, causing ventilation to increase, for
example for an hour, before operation ceases again.

Fire thermostat / external fire automation system
The ventilation unit can be connected up to an external fire thermostat that will stop the ventilation unit in the event of fire. The same
port can be used for connection of an external fire automation system.
The control system identifies a broken input signal as fire, and stops. It will only restart once connection to the fire thermostat has been
established or the external fire automation system starts signaling again. This must be done manually via the control panel.
When you connect up an external fire automation system, it will be necessary for the ventilation unit to restart automatically. You can
set for this to happen on the control panel. Please consult the software instructions for further information.

EM-box (damper solution)
If you want to run the cooker hood via the ventilation unit, in some cases there may be insufficient air for cooker hood extraction.
If you install an EM-box, you can regulate the extracted air when the cooker hood is in operation, so that less air is drawn from, for in-
stance, the bathroom and the utility room. This will allow enough air for the cooker hood to extract sufficiently.
The EM-box is fitted with a metal filter that cleans the air in the cooker hood of grease particles efficiently. It thereby protects the ven-
tilation unit.
The system works as follows:
When you switch on the cooker hood, User selection 1 will be activated. The ventilation unit increases ventilation and sends an output
signal to the EM-box that it is to close the damper for extraction from other rooms. However, the damper does not close completely
and a reduced level of air extraction from other rooms will still take place.
When balancing the damper, the small stop blocks on the damper must be positioned so that the basic ventilation rate is maintained
from the other rooms.
The solution of connecting an EM-box is carried out easily by using a Nilan Fire box.
Connect User selection 1 directly to the Nilan Fire box.
Also connect up Modbus and the fire thermostat/external fire automation system through the Nilan Fire box.
You can connect up User selection 2 via S1 and S2 under fire damper connection in the Nilan Fire box.
NB! Wiring for 230V supply to EM-box damper not included.
ATTENTION
The EM-box solution cannot be used if the fire automation system has been activated in the software..
DTBU damper solution
If you want to run the cooker hood via the ventilation unit, in some cases there may be insufficient air for cooker hood extraction.
An EM-box solution can solve this. However, if there is insufficient space in the installation for an EM-box, the alternative may by to
connect up a DTBU damper in the duct system. It has the same function except from having no integral particle filter. You can, howev-
er, purchase a filter box with a steel filter that you can install in the duct system.
The DTBU damper regulates extraction so that less air is drawn from, for instance, the bathroom or the utility room. This will allow
enough air for the cooker hood to extract sufficiently.
The system works as follows:
When you switch on the cooker hood, User selection 1 will be activated. The ventilation unit increases ventilation and sends an output
signal to the DTBU damper that it is to close for extraction from other rooms. However, the damper does not close completely and a
reduced level of air extraction from other rooms will still take place.
The solution of connecting a DTBU damper is carried out easily by using a Nilan Fire box.
Connect User selection 1 directly to the Nilan Fire box.
Also connect up Modbus and the fire thermostat/external fire automation system through the Nilan Fire box.
You can connect up User selection 2 via S1 and S2 under fire damper connection in the Nilan Fire box.
NB! Wiring for 230V supply to DTBU damper not included.
ATTENTION
The DTBU damper solution cannot be used if the fire automation system has been activated in the software.
When connecting external components, run the wires through the built-in guide tube and directly to the control board. Remove the
cover plate so it is easier to see where the guide tube starts.
Run the wire to point 4 (See connections overview). Connection through frommet to external connections.
External pre-heating element
It is possible to purchase an external electric pre-heating element for frost protection of the ventilation unit.
The electric preheating element is mounted in the outdoor air duct before the unit with the necessary temperature sensor.
.
It is important that the sensor is placed at least 32 cm from the preheating element to achieve correct regulation.
The pre-heating element has a three-step safety system that prevents overheating.
9.
An operating thermostat regulates the heating and ensures that the supply air temperature does
not fall below -1 °C
10. Should the temperature exceed 50 °C, a max. thermostat switches off the pre-heating element.
(If installed vertically with downward airflow, the pre-heating element switches off at 70 °C)
11. A safety thermostat switches off the pre-heating element if the temperature exceeds 100 °C.
Then, you must reset it manually.
Minimum airflow at Ø160: 110m3/h.
ATTENSION
The heating element must be insulated with a fire retardant insulation material. The cover of the connection box,
however, must not be insulated.

terflow heat exchanger.
3. Gentle wriggle out the counterflow heat exchanger. It is
important not to damage the corner (shown in the red
circle).
4. Install the electrical pre-heating element in the open
compartment at the rear of the ventilation unit. Gently
press the three spikes into the EPS mould and move the
heating element into place under the top edge.
5. Connect the power supply, which is located at the bottom
of the ventilation unit. Ensure the wire is fed out into the
customised groove (shown in the red circle).
6. Gently pull forward the sensor from the electrical pre-
heating element. Then, make an incision in the EPS mould so
you can push the wire all the way down, below the top edge.
7. Make sure the wire is fed into the customized groove so it
is below the top edge (shown in the red circle). Otherwise
the exchanger cannot be pushed back in again.
8. Carefully move the exchanger back into place and push
the sensor back into the slat. The sensor from the electrical
heating element should also be placed here - but in a sepa-
rate slat. Otherwise the slats will expand and the sensors
will fall out.
Refit the unit doors and connect the power supply.

If the extent to which a dwelling/building is used varies considerably, you will benefit from installing a CO2-sensor to control the air
exchange. The CO2-sensor measures the CO2-level in the extract air. It then regulates the fan speed level accordingly.
Installation of CO2-sensor:
Connect the power supply 230V to the circuit board.
ATTENTION
In order to be able to connect up a CO2-sensor, the ventilation unit must have an expansion PCB. This must be purchased
separately, but if you have ordered an after-heating element, an expansion PCB is included.
1.
Detach the front door of the ventilation unit.
Remove the temperature sensor T4 from the
counterflow heat exchanger. Then lift the
counterflow heat exchanger out of the unit.
Install the CO2-sensor on the sloping surface
behind the counterflow heat exchanger.
2.
Mount the CO2-sensor on the attached bracket
with hooks. Then press the CO2-sensor firmly
into place in the EPS.
3.
Feed the wires from the CO2-sensor through
the hole where also the humidity-sensor and
the T3 outdoor temperature-sensor run
through. Then connect them to the expansion
PCB of the control system as shown below.
It may be difficult to notice alarms if the unit is located in a place where access is difficult or infrequent, and if the control panel is locat-
ed in the same place.
An external alarm indicator in the form of an electric bulb or an acoustic signal can be connected to the ventilation unit and announce
when an alarm occurs. This could, for example, be when filters need replacing.
The unit comes with an Ø20 mm condensate drain (PVC, GF-fittings).
When the ventilation unit is in operation, negative pressure of up to 500 Pa can be created. This happens in the part where the
condensate drain is situated and corresponds to a 50 mm water column. The water trap should therefore be installed as shown to
prevent it from drying out and to stop a potential return flow of condensate water.
The connection of the water trap must be airtight. Otherwise air will be drawn into the ventilation unit and it will prevent condensate
water from draining away. It could cause water damage if the condensate tray were to overflow and condensate water were to leak
from the ventilation unit.
After you have installed the water trap, test its function in the following way (the unit must be connected to the duct system):
Fill the condensate tray with water, close the unit door and start the ventilation unit at the highest fan speed level. Allow it to run for
several minutes. Open the door and check that the water has drained from the condensate tray.
The water trap can dry out in the summer. Negative pressure in the chamber will then cause air to be drawn into the ventilation unit
and this will prevent condensate water from draining away. You should therefore check the water trap regularly and top up with water
when necessary, especially in the autumn.
Connection of water trap
It is important that the water trap complies with the measurements below. If the water trap is placed outside the climate screen, it
should be protected against frost.
ATTENTION
The condensate drain must be fitted with a water trap to ensure that condensate water can drain away.
ATTENTION
If you install the ventilation unit outside the climate screen, it is important to protect the condensate drain against frost.
This is achieved by using a heating cable and proper insulation of the drain. Frost protection of the unit is the installer's
responsibility.
USEFUL INFORMATION
As an accessory, Nilan can supply a water trap with ball. When the water trap dries out, the ball closes it off and ensures
that air cannot be drawn into the ventilation unit. When condensate water is formed again, it will lift the ball, and the
water will be able to drain away without problems.

Usage
Nilan's fire automation system is used to monitor, test and check the fire protection components of the ventilation system:
• Fire and smoke damper, and fire thermostat
Important functions:
• Monitors the fire protection system and ensures that dampers and detectors are in fully working order
• Tests dampers every 7th day - set for Mondays 10.00 a.m.
• If fire is detected, fire and smoke dampers will close and the ventilation unit will stop
• If the ventilation unit stops, fire and smoke dampers will close
Dampers that are connected up to the system must have a 24V or 230V fire damper motor.
The fire automation system is for indoor installation. The automation system can be used within a temperature range of -20 °C to
+40 °C. The protection level for fire and smoke dampers must be IP65
Electrical connection fire automation system
Connection of fire damper
As an optional extra you can purchase Nilan's fire automation system box for connection of fire dampers.
The fire automation system is integrated into the CTS 602 control system.
ATTENTION
All work must be carried out by suitably qualified persons and in compliance with existing legislation and regulations.
ATTENTION
It is important that the power is off if you do work to the electrical components of the ventilation unit.
WARNING
Must not be used as a fire alarm system.

120 seconds.
The test will fail if:
• Current starting position (open) is incorrect
• Current position (open and closed) has not altered within the first 12 seconds of moving in each direction
• The measured moving time does not range between 15 and 130 seconds
Automatic test sequence
Start-up and annual testing
It is necessary to carry out a complete test of functions after installation of the fire protection automation system. If everything has
been installed in accordance with the guidelines and regulations, and the test reveals no errors, the display will show "OK".

If the test fails, the display will show "ERROR". The fault must then be rectified. The ventilation unit will shut down as in case of fire. The
test must be performed again until "OK" is displayed in the menu.
For the overall system, all requirements in DS 428 must be met before a delivery can be made.
Manual test of fire and smoke dampers
You should checked that all dampers change position physically. See the supplier's instructions.
Connect the fire damper switches for, respectively, open and closed position to two digital inputs on the circuit board (see wiring
diagram).
Fire thermostat
Temperature sensor is warmed up with fan heater. See the supplier's instructions.
Release-signal to ventilation unit
During a fire the ventilation unit will shut down and the fire and smoke dampers will close. Following that, the alarm can only be can-
celled manually on the control panel. You will then be able to restart the unit.
Operating signal from ventilation unit
An active signal should cause all dampers to activate (open) if there are no alarms. If there is no signal, the unit will act as in case of fire
and all dampers will close.
There are two systems you can use to lead air through the dwelling.
Spiral ducts
Spiral ducts are made from metal and are cut to size using an angle grinder. They are then connected using ducting bends and mani-
folds and are fitted in accordance with the blueprint. The ducts are typically placed on the tie beams where they are fixed with perfo-
rated band, or they are suspended using suspension band. Avoid unnecessary bending of the ducts.
To prevent sound transmission from room to room, you should install a silencer for each room.
The ducts must be insulated to prevent heat loss and condensation. In some cases this can be avoided if the ducts are run through the
standard insulation or inside the climate screen.
NilAIR tubes
NilAIR tubes constitute a flexible system that is easy to install. You can easily cut the tubes to size with a Stanley knife and then situate
them in accordance with the blueprint without having to use bends and manifolds. You install a manifold box after the unit and run the
tubes from the box out to the individual rooms.
When using NilAIR tubes, you do not have to install silencers for each room. The sound-damping effect of the tubes ensures that
sounds and noise will not be transmitted from room to room.
If you install the tubes outside the climate screen, you must insulate them to avoid heat loss and condensation. This is simpler than
using spiral ducts as NilAIR tubes are easily led through the standard insulation.
NilAIR tubes are more flexible than spiral ducts and you can therefore run the tubes in places that are unsuitable for ordinary spiral
ducts.
Ventilation unit
Nilan recommends installation of flexible connections between the ventilation unit and the duct system.
This is to avoid vibrations from the unit being transmitted to the duct system. It will also make it easier to move the unit, which may be
necessary during future services of the unit.
Nilan can supply Soundflex tubes that you can use as flexible connections between the ventilation unit and the duct system. They will
also reduce sounds from the system considerably.
The Soundflex tubes are insulated against condensation. It may, however, be necessary with further insulation in order to comply with
local requirements with regards to insulation of duct systems.
ATTENTION
All work must be carried out by qualified persons and in compliance with existing legislation and regulations.
Install the extract air valves in high-humidity rooms and place them strategically where they can extract humid and vitiated air from
the dwelling/building most efficiently.
High-humidity rooms are, for example:
• Bathroom
• Lavatory
• Kitchen
• Utility room
Supply air
Install supply air valves in living areas. Place them strategically so they cause minimum discomfort. It is, for instance, not recommend-
ed that you install supply air valves in areas where people are inactive, as the supply air may be experienced as draughty.
Living areas may be, for example:
• Living room
• Family room
• Bedroom
• Study
Roof terminals
The position and design of air intake and air discharge should limit pressure oscillations in the ventilation unit caused by wind. Their
position should also prevent birds and other animals from getting in. Finally, the position and design should ensure that air intake and
the connected duct system are kept free of plants and foreign objects.
You must place the air intake so that the risk of a short-circuit from the discharge air is minimised, and with attention to the prevailing
wind direction.
The air intake should be placed at least 50 cm above the roof surface. On black, flat roofs the distance from the roof to the underside
of the intake should be at least 1 m. This will ensure that warm air is not drawn into the building during summer. Air intakes should be
placed on the northern or eastern sides of pitched roofs.
You should also install a silencer between the unit and the roof stacks to prevent noise disturbance to your surroundings.
Installation example
It is important to measure the total supply air and the total extract air. The system must have a minimum vacuum, which means it draw
out more air than it blows in. This will prevent dampness from being forced into the constructions of the building.
Balancing holes
The ventilation unit has been equipped with balancing holes for measuring the volumes of the supply air and the extract air. You can
measure the volume through a ball pump valve, which you insert into the 4 holes.
Using the curve chart, you can set, approximately, the main air volume at dry operation without condensation.
At the side with the extract air, measure the pressure difference dP3-4 [Pa] between the holes marked 3 and 4. Read the air volume
qv [m3/h] on the curve chart.
At the side with the supply air, measure the pressure difference dP1-2 [Pa] between the holes marked 1 and 2. Read the air volume qv
[m3/h] on the curve chart.
Once you have carried out the measurements, cover the 4 holes with the round stickers provided.
ATTENTION
To ensure the ventilation system operates optimally, it is important that it is balanced correctly. We recommend that
experts do this.
ATTENTION
The capacity in the pressure loss diagram is based on a dry exchanger.
