 1.0 Introduction

1.1 Description (Fig. 1)

Fig. 1
1. The HR200V unit is a void mounting heat
recovery ventilator for sealed or internal rooms in
domestic, commercial, educational and leisure
applications.

2. The HR200V is designed for connection to

150mm diameter standard flexible or rigid
ventilation ducting.

3. The maximum power consumption for the unit

is 108w.

4. The twin impeller and heat exchanger

arrangement simultaneously supplies and
extracts air while transferring heat from the stale
exhaust airflow to the fresh intake airflow. This
provides up to 70% heat recovery from the stale
extracted air.

1.2 Ancillary Equipment

1. The HR200V unit can be used in conjunction

with a range of ancillary equipment.

Controller: A range of controllers - see section

3.1 Controllers.

 2.0 Site Requirement

2.1 Information

1. The unit is designed for mounting in a ceiling

void and connected to inlet and outlet grilles with
150mm diameter ducting. Dimensions of the unit
are shown In Fig.1.

2. Warning: This appliance is class I and it

must therefore be earthed.

3. The unit must be sited and connected by a

suitably competent person and be in accordance
with current UK Building Regulations and I.E.E.
Fig. 2 Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

4. The unit is intended for permanent connection

to the mains electrical supply.

5. The unit is intended for fixed wiring installation.

6. Wiring to the unit in the UK must be via a

switched fused spur. The switched fused spur
must have a 3mm minimum contact gap in all
poles.

7. Ensure that the mains electrical supply is

compatible with the rating label attached to the
product.

8. The unit must be sited such that the ambient

temperature will not exceed 40° C.

9. Do not site the appliance in the vicinity of

excessive levels of airborne oil or grease.

10. If the unit is installed in a room containing a

fuel burning appliance, the installer must ensure
that air replacement is adequate for both
appliances.

11. The unit must be installed away from any source of

water and out of reach of any person using a fixed bath or
shower.

12. In situations where moisture can be present

in the air, the unit should be connected to a
drainage system.

13. The external grilles of the unit must be sited

at least 600mm away from any flue of gas or
solid fuel appliances. This is to avoid back flow of
gases entering the room.

14. All safety regulations and requirements must

be strictly followed to prevent hazards to life and
property both during and after installation and
during subsequent maintenance or servicing.

15. Ensure the mains electrical supply is switched

off before commencing installation or
maintenance.

 3.0 Installation

3.1 Controllers

1. The HR200V unit can be installed in

conjunction with a number of controllers.

VCON6(370356): The VCON6 controller can be

used to provide Off/Low/Normal/Boost/Sensor
control. (The HS6 humidistat or TIM2 over-run
timer can be used in conjunction with the VCON6
controller to provide automatic control.

150VA (563538): The 150VA transformer,

when used with a trickle/boost switch (455213),
allows for a trickle and boost speed to be
selected. Only terminals providing 140V or
higher should be used as the unit will not
operate reliably bellow 140V.

Ecotronic 1.5A controller (W300310):

Provides variable speed control and on off and
auto (sensor) modes.

TIM2(370346): The TIM2 is an overrun timer

which can also be used to control the HR200V
unit via a remote sensor e.g. Humidity Sensor.

Fig. 3 3.2 Initial Preparation

1. Select an approved electrical control

arrangement for the HR200 unit (above).

2. After considering the site requirements

(Section 2.0), select a suitable site for the unit
and controllers and work out the cable and
ducting runs. Note that the unit must be
mounted horizontally with the drainage
connection to the bottom. The site selected
must allow sufficient space around the unit for
removal of ducts, spigot plates and the heat
exchanger for servicing and maintenance.

WARNING: Before deciding on the final position

for the unit and ducting, check there are no
buried cables, pipes or obstructions.

Cable requirements: Suitably (Basec or Har)

approved four core cable of appropriate current
carrying capacity.

3. Install the cable runs and appropriate

controllers in conjunction with a fused connection
unit. Contact gap must not be less than 3mm.

4. Working from the inside, mark out the

position of the ducting holes.

5. Carefully cut the holes in the inner and outer

brick courses to form a suitable aperture to
receive the ducting and grilles.

3.3 Installing the Appliance

1. Offer the mounting frame to the ventilation unit

and fix it in position by means of the four
machine screws and four of the washers
supplied. The washers should be located
between the screw heads and the mounting
frame.

2. Engage the four rubber mounting grommets in

the ends of the mounting frame arms. The
grommets reduce the transmission of noise and
vibration from the ventilation unit to the mounting
surface.

3. Offer the ventilation unit to the installation site

and fix it in position using four suitable screws
and the remaining four supplied washers. The
washers should be located between the screw
heads and the mounting grommets.

CAUTION: Ensure the case does not distort

during fixing and making good.

4. Using the pipe and elbow, if appropriate,

connect the drain of the unit to the drainage
system. For watertight joints, use proprietary
PVC pipe cement between mating components.

5. Install suitable internal and external grilles and

connect them to the ventilation unit using
suitable 150mm flexible or rigid ventilation
ducting and ducting components. If flexible
ducting is used, it should be stretched fully to
obtain the best performance.

1. Wiring must be via a 3A fused switched spur

with a 3mm contact separation in each pole. The
wiring should be suitably (Basec or Har)
approved cable of appropriate current carrying
capacity.

2. Ensure that the mains power supply is

isolated prior to installation.

3. The HR200V is supplied with a length of cable

attached from the factory. This can be extended
with the use of 4 core cable as required.

4. Connect the wires as shown in Fig.5 to a Switched

fused spur or a control unit. If a controller is used follow
the fitting and wiring instructions supplied with the
controller ensuring that the black and brown wires are
HR200 connected to the same terminal on the controller.

  5. If an extract only switch (409999) is to be fitted refer to

Fig.6. Extract only Fig.6. The switch should be connected to the black wire.
With the switch in the extract only position the unit will no
longer provide supply air.

6. Switch on the mains electrical supply and

check the operation of the unit.

NOTE: On operation there is a delay of 30

(not supplied) seconds prior to the shutter opening.

5.1 Cleaning the Unit

1. In addition to removing odours, providing fresh

air and recovering heat, this unit extracts
airborne impurities such as dust, dirt and grease.
These gradually build up and detract from the
efficiency and appearance of the unit.
Fig. 7
2. To ensure optimum performance, the unit
should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months or at
periods determined by the level of contamination
experienced and according to the following
procedure.

3. Isolate the mains power supply.

4. Remove the ducting to internal grilles.

Undo the two grille securing screws and
remove the spigot plate (Fig. 7).

5. Remove the filter from rear of grille.

6. Slide out the heat exchanger (Fig 7).

7. Wash the heat exchanger in warm water

using a mild detergent and dry thoroughly.

CAUTION: Keep water away from all electrical

components and wiring within the unit.

8. Reassemble in reverse order ensuring the

heat exchanger is seated correctly.

9. Switch power supply on and check the

operation of the unit
