1.0 Introduction
1.1 Description
The Vent-Axia HR 100RS is a remotely
mounted unit that will provide balanced
ventilation with up to 70% heat recovery
in applications where there is no
immediate access to an external wall. The
HR 100RS is ideal for installations
involving internal bathrooms and meets
building regulation requirements for this
application.
A two speed motor provides for constant
low rate ventilation with a boost speed
option. Fresh pre-warmed air from the
outside is continually provided to the room
with simultaneous extraction of stale air
and smells. Heat is transferred from
outgoing air to the fresh air supply with
zero cross contamination, maintaining
internal temperatures and providing a
fresh environment.
2.0 Site requirements
2.1 Information
1. The unit must be sited and connected
by a suitably qualified person and be in
accordance with current UK Building
Regulations and IEE Wiring Regulations
(BS 7671)
2. The unit is intended for permanent
connection to the mains electrical supply.
3. The HR100RS is intended for fixed
wiring installation.
4. Ensure that the mains electrical supply
is compatible with the rating label on the
product.
5. The unit must be sited away from direct
sources of heat in excess of 40 deg C.
6. Do not site the ceiling diffusers in the
vicinity of excessive levels of airborne oil
or grease.
7. If the ceiling diffusers are installed in a
room containing a fuel burning appliance,
the installer must ensure that air
replacement is adequate for both
appliances.
8. The external grilles must be sited a
minimum of 500mm away from the flue of
gas or open fire appliances. This to avoid
back flow of gases entering the room.
9. 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.
10. Ensure the mains electrical supply is
isolated before commencing installation or
maintenance.

3.0 Installation
3.1 Installing the unit
1. Check that all the components have
been delivered, as identified in the
delivery note. Notify the supplier of any
errors or omissions immediately.
2. Check the diagrammatic ducting layout
drawing to ensure that the proposed duct
routes, fan unit and air terminal locations
can be accommodated. If in doubt, refer
to the Technical Support Department.
3. The unit is designed to be mounted
horizontally. After noting the positions of
the electrical connector, duct spigots and
suitable installation site for the unit. The
drainage connection for the unit, choose a
most desirable location for the unit is
normally within the ceiling void.
4. Never locate the unit above a sleeping
area. The most suitable position is
normally above the landing or bathroom.
The selected site must allow adequate
space around the unit for the removal of
the cover and heat exchanger for
maintenance and servicing purposes.
5. The unit is attached to the ceiling slab
with suitable fixings at four positions.
Drainage slope is provided by the set of
the fixing brackets
6. The unit must be positioned so that the
condensate outlet will accommodate a
trap (Hep vO waste valve) and the
condensate conveyed properly with a
continuous gradient to a suitable
positioned down pipe.
7. Connect the drainage system as
appropriate using PVC pipe work, joined
using PVC cement to ensure waterproof
joints. Fit a flexible tube adjacent to the
unit to allow the cover to be moved clear
during maintenance.
Also note that a blocked condensate
outlet pipe due to insufficient pipe
gradient will quickly lead to water damage
3.0 Installation
3.1 Installing the unit
8. A shell bit is recommended for drilling
holes in the ceiling to accommodate the
housings for supply and extract air
terminals (SV100 and EV100) Make sure
that the drilled area is clear of structural
members, water and gas pipes or
electrical cables and that there is enough
clearance behind the ceiling board for
duct access and securing ring. Ceiling
terminals should preferably be fitted
equidistant from adjacent walls, be
mindful that coving may be subsequently
fitted.
9. Place the terminal housing into the
ceiling hole and secure to the back ring
with the four screws provided.
10. The external grilles for intake and
exhaust air should be positioned so that
the exhaust air is not drawn in again.
11. If the grilles are fitted adjacent to each
other in the same gable and at the same
height then a minimum of 1000mm
between grilles is recommended.
12. If the grilles are positioned above one
another the distance apart should at least
be 1000mm with the exhaust grille at the
top.
13. Roof ventilators placed on the same
roof surface should be positioned at the
same distances as the grilles.
14. Always ensure that all exhaust
grilles/roof ventilators are placed higher
than the top edge of the highest window
and at a distance of at least 1000mm from
the nearest window.
15. External grilles placed in the soffit
should be positioned at the same
distances as indicated for gable
application.
3.0 Installation
3.1 Installing the unit
16. Assemble the duct and fittings,
following as closely as possible the
diagrammatic ducting layout. Ensure that
the duct is raised above the ceiling
surface to allow for thermal insulation of
the ducting.
17. If the ducting runs through unheated
areas it will need to be thermally insulated
to preclude condensation occurring and to
minimise heat loss. This requirement
must be observed in the planning and
routing of the duct system.
18. The use of flexible ducting should be
limited to an absolute minimum. If used it
should be fully stretched in order to
minimise pressure loss.
19. Attach the unit to the ceiling slab
ensuring that the airflow direction arrows
on the cover are in the correct orientation
for the internal and external vents.
20. Mate up the ducting as appropriate
ensuring that the airflow is in line with the
directional indicators.
21. Determine the best siting position for
the appropriate control. Normally this
would either be a manual control switch
(NBSW), pull-cord switch (PCSW)
humidity switch (HS6) or speed control
switch (VCON100)
22. Determine the appropriate wiring
connections as outlined within section 4
and wire in accordance with current IEE
Wiring regulations ensuring that the mains
feed is isolated before making any
connections.

NOTE: 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.
For units switching to boost on operation
of a light switch, an in-line timer (order
code TIM2) should be wired into the
circuit as shown below.
HR100RS
Automatic control
The HR100RS unit operates on
continuous trickle ventilation. Operation of
switch turns unit to boost ventilation.
When switch is turned off units continue
to operate on boost for a preset period –
adjustable 2-30 minutes
The HR100RS MUST NOT be wired in
conjunction with a light switch, units will
fail.
5.0 Commissioning
5.1 Commissioning the System
Before starting to commission the system
check the following:-
a) All ducting is in place and secured
b) The wiring is secure and correctly
connected.
c) The trap valve is in a position to enable
efficient removal of condensate.
d) The unit is mounted appropriately in a
position not susceptible to movement or
damage.
The scope of the commissioning
procedure comprises:-
1) Balancing the two airflows to achieve
maximum heat exchanger efficiency.
2) Adjusting the two airflows to obtain the
overall airflow rates and the individual
terminal air flow rates as specified on the
air change schedule.
3) An airflow meter must be used to set
the correct airflows.
NOTE:- The supply air terminal device
is directional and incorporates a
deflector plate. Ensure that the
deflector is correctly positioned so
that the active part of the terminal
device is discharging to the room.
4) Set the control switch (NBSW or
PCSW) to normal speed or set the
humidistat (HS6) at maximum and check
that air is flowing in the correct direction at
each terminal point.
5) Standard ceiling terminals type EV100
and SV100 are adjusted by turning the
central screw they are locked in the ‘set’
position by the locknut.
