Witam. Jestem posiadaczem wentylacji mechanicznej z odzyskiem ciepła. MRXBOX95-LOFT firmy NUAIRE (mieszkam w Uk) Wentylacja przestała działać, po wejściu na poddasze, gdzie jest umieszczona, widzę że zasilanie jest (świeci się dioda POWER na zielono i dioda STAND BY na pomarańczowo), jednak wirniki (2szt) nie chcą wystartować. Co kilka sekund słychać kliknięcie, diody na chwilę gasną, zapalają się i tak w kółko. Jedyne co mogłem sprawdzić (wykształcenie mechaniczne) to, że wirniki nie napotykają na opór (lekko się obracają przy pchnięciu ręką) i filtry (były zabrudzone) wyczyściłem i zamówiłem nowe na przyszłość. Czy byłby ktoś w stanie zdiagnozować przyczynę awarii? Z góry dziękuję za pomoc. W załączniku instrukcja urządzenia.

MRXBOX95-LOFT
Mechanical Ventilation Unit with
Heat Recovery for Loft Mounting
Installation and Maintenance
1.0 Introduction
2.0 Installation
Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in
accordance with the appropriate authority and conforming
to all statutory governing regulations.
Unit must not be switched off during normal operation, the
product is designed to run continuously.
All mains wiring must be in accordance with the current I.E.E.
Regulations, or the appropriate standards. Ensure that the
mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with
the rating label.
MRXBOX95-LOFT is designed to provide mechanical supply
and extract ventilation with heat recovery.
The unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has full
speed control for background and boost ventilation rates as
well as a run-on timer facility.
To recover heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block
is utilised. This heat exchanger can recover up to 95% of the
normally wasted heat.
Please note a clear working space is required around the
installed unit to allow the cover to be removed and provide
sufficient access for maintenance such as filter change.
The fan must be installed indoors, away from direct sources of
frost, heat, water spray or moisture generation.
The unit is designed for mounting on the roof joists in the loft
space using four “L shape” metal brackets and four A.V.
mounts supplied with the unit. Please note that various
positions for the brackets are available to suit different joist
centres.
Figure 1. Airflow through unit.
Connect the four ‘L’ shape fixing brackets to the unit with the
M4 screws (provided) they can be attached to the long, or
short sides of the unit depending on requirements. Each pair of
brackets should be mounted at different heights so the fall is
towards the drip tray end of the unit. (see figures 2a, 2b and
2c for fixing details). Lower the unit with the “L” shape fixing
brackets attached onto the joists. Mark through the brackets
and drill four clearance holes into the top surface of joists.

2.1 Condensate Drain installation
necessary to remove any external sharp edges. Mark the
socket depth on the pipe, and check that the pipe section to
be jointed is free of any surface damage which may affect
the joint seal.
1. Remove top cover and remove heat exchanger.
The condensate outlet can then be seen at the base of
the unit. Using a 90 Deg bend and suitable length of
¾” / 21.5mm diameter overflow pipe (not supplied) take
the condensate to the outside of the unit (can be taken
to either side of the unit as required).
Suitable adhesive should be used for all connections.
3. Unscrew the cap from the MVHR-DRAIN outlet, and slide the
cap and rubber seal onto the pipe.
4. Insert the pipe end fully into the socket.
5. Slide the rubber seal and screwed cap up against the face of
the socket, and tighten the cap sufficiently hand-tight (check
that the cap is square to the body and does not ‘crossthread’). Hand tight should be adequate to form a proper seal.
2. The drain should run through a secondary trap before
being discharged into the waste water system.
3. If using a U-trap please ensure the U-trap has been filled to
a suitable level of water to avoid any air locks.
Figure 3b. Plan view of unit showing drip tray and condensate
drain position.
4. If the condensation pipe is fitted in an unheated space the
pipe should be in insulated to prevent freezing.

Fixing MVHR-DRAIN
Offer up the MVHR-DRAIN inlet to the threaded tail of the
appliance waste outlet or MVHR-DRAIN knuckle or running
adaptor, and tighten the threaded cap sufficiently hand-tight to
provide a water-tight seal (check that the cap screws on square
and does not ‘cross-thread’). When the screwed cap is tight, the
MVHR-DRAIN body is secure.

MRXBOX95-LOFT Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
2.2 Installing Nuaire CONTRAP
collects the moisture and then drains it out through a standard
overflow pipe to the outside. This ensures that the moisture
cannot enter a potentially hazardous area.
In ducted ventilation systems, condensation will occur when
warm, humid air extracted from your bathroom, shower, kitchen
or utility room hits the cooler surface of the ventilation duct.
If the extracted air is sufficiently cooled, the moisture will
condense back to water and become trapped in the ducting,
potentially causing damage to the fan.
Use insulated ducting
By using insulated ducting, the inner duct layer stays warmer,
and therefore keeps the extracted air at a higher temperature.
This allows the water to condense outside the building and not
in the ducting.
Nuaire’s CONTRAP is simply connected to the system as part
of the vertical duct run and an internal gutter within the trap
Figure 4. Typical MVHR ducted arrangement for a loft mounted unit using the Nuaire condensation trap 125mm dia. (CONTRAP 125).
IMPORTANT: When using a “T” Piece to connect the CONTRAP
drainage and the MVHR drain pipework the MVHR drain must
always be fitted before the “T” Piece to prevent condensate
from feeding back into the MVHR system.

2.3 Extract/input areas
2.4 Ducting
The unit is designed to extract air from all wet rooms
e.g. bathroom, kitchen, en-suite, utility room (with sink).
WC’s do not need to be ventilated if openable windows are
fitted. Supply air should be to all habitable rooms e.g. bedrooms
and lounge. Extract / input grilles should be adjustable valve
types (not supplied).
1. If the unit has been specified as SAP appendix Q installation
the use of flexible is prohibited. If flexible ducting is to be
used it should be kept to a minimum and should always be
pulled taught.
2. The unit is supplied with 125mm dia. outlets.
To prevent any condensation on the ducting it should be
insulated externally vapour-proof as far as the unit.
3. Ducting layout plans should be adhered to if available.
4. It is recommended that 125mm dia. or 204 x 60mm ducting be
used and the number of 90 Deg bends be kept to a minimum.
Any air intake terminal MUST be installed in accordance
with the appropriate regulation.
As a guide, the BS5440 series of British Standards
deals with this issue and currently states that an air
intake must be at a minimum distance of 300mm from
a gas boiler balanced flue. Installers are advised to
be aware of the requirements of this standard when
installing ‘through the wall’ supply air ducting.
Similarly, supply and extract air grilles should be at
least 300mm apart.
5. Ducting joints must be sealed with duct tape and/or silicone
sealant.
For further information refer to Building Regulations Part F and
BRE appendix Q website.

COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS
6.1
INFORMATION SUPPLIED WITH THE EQUIPMENT
Each item of equipment is supplied with a set of documentation which provides
the information required for the safe installation and maintenance of the
equipment. This may be in the form of a Data sheet and/or Installation and
Maintenance instruction.
Each unit has a rating plate attached to its outer casing. The rating plate
provides essential data relating to the equipment such as serial number, unit
code and electrical data. Any further data that may be required will be found
in the documentation. If any item is unclear or more information is required,
contact Nuaire.
Where warning labels or notices are attached to the unit the instructions given
must be adhered to.
Where access to any part of equipment which moves, or can become electrically
live are not prevented by the equipment panels or by fixed installation detail
(eg ducting), then guarding to the appropriate standard must be fitted.
General pre-commissioning checks relevant to safe operation consist of the
following:
Ensure that no foreign bodies are present within the fan or casing.
Check electrical safety. e.g. Insulation and earthing.
Check guarding of system.
Check operation of Isolators/Controls.
Check fastenings for security.
6.2
TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Care must be taken at all times to prevent damage to the equipment. Note that
shock to the unit may result in the balance of the impeller being affected.
When handling the equipment, care should be taken with corners and edges and
that the weight distribution within the unit is considered. Lifting gear such as
slings or ropes must be arranged so as not to bear on the casing.
Equipment stored on site prior to installation should be protected from the
weather and steps taken to prevent ingress of contaminants.
Other commissioning requirements are given in the relevant product documentation.
7.0
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
7.1
Equipment access panels must be in place at all times during operation of the
unit, and must be secured with the original fastenings.
