3.2 Where/How to Install
The unit is meant for indoor installation. It is important that the unit is completely level before it is put into
operation. The electronic components should not be exposed to lower temperature than 32° F (0° C) or
higher than +122° F (+50° C).
When choosing the location, keep in mind that the unit requires maintenance regularly and that the
inspection doors should be easily accessible. Leave free space for opening the doors and for taking out the
main components (Figure 2)
Note:
If there is not sufcient space to open the inspection doors it is possible to unscrew the hinges to remove
the doors completely for inspection and maintenance. Another option, when installing the unit suspended
with the inspection door facing downwards, is to acquire the sliding door accessory kit.
Avoid placing the appliance against a wall, as low frequency noise can cause vibrations in the wall even id
the fan noise-level is acceptable. If this is not possible it is recommended to carefully insulate the wall.
The outdoor air intake of the building should if possible be put in the northern or eastern side of the building
and away from other exhaust outlets like kitchen fan outcasts or laundry room outlets. The extract air
should ideally be led out via a roof cowl away from any outdoor air intakes, windows, balconies etc.

possible to come into contact with the fans through the duct connections.
