The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. Improper use, installation or maintenance work carried out incorrectly and structural
modifications may affect the function and safety of the ventilation unit. In this case the warranty claims will not be valid.
Read these instructions carefully before beginning any installation or maintenance work and follow the advice given on installation and
maintenance.
Before installing the unit, check that the delivery is complete and intact, and contact us, at the address below, if any parts are missing or
damaged.
Intendeduse
Fox up ventilation units with heat recovery are designed for controlled room ventilation. The units should only be used to deliver air. The de-
livery of aggressive, flammable or dust-containing media is not permitted. Never operate the unit without the filter in place. The connection
of ventilation pipes from other ventilation systems is not permitted.
Fox up ventilation units are not suitable for construction drying, and should only be used once construction work has been finished.
Operating the unit in conjunction with heat-producing appliances may require additional safety devices. Relevant information is available
from a regionally qualified chimney sweep.
Placingtheunit
Fox up ventilation units may only be installed and operated indoors. When selecting a site, please make sure that the unit is accessible for
service and maintenance. The unit must not be installed close to flammable liquids or gases. A mains supply (230 V/50 Hz) is required to
operate the unit.
Installation
When installing the unit, please observe the recognized codes of practice with regard to unit installation, electrical work, fire protection,
etc., as well as the standards for the ventilation of residential buildings.

2. PRODUCTINFORMATION
2.1 Modeofoperation
The Fox up ventilation unit is a decentralized ventilation system for a controlled room ventilation with heat recovery. The use
of several units in pairs allows entire housing units / buildings to be ventilated.
If operated with heat recovery, the ventilation unit works in 2 prefixed time intervals. In the first interval (extraction phase),
the “used” air in the room is sucked into the ventilation unit by the fan and carried to the outside. During this process, the air flows through
the ceramic heat accumulator inside the ventilation unit, which extracts the heat from the air and stores it.
In the second interval (delivery phase), “fresh” outside air is sucked in via the ventilation unit’s exterior opening. It passes through the unit,
and is heated by the heat accumulator before entering the room. In this way, up to 90% of the heat contained in the extracted air can be
transferred to the fresh air fed into the room. The principle of recharging and discharging a heat accumulator is referred as regenerative
heat transfer.
When a single unit is used, an overpressure (delivery phase) or under pressure (extraction phase) is created in the room being ventilated,
this depends on the operating phase. To guarantee a balance between the volumes of air delivered and extracted, it is recommended that
Fox up units be used in pairs. The control of the ventilation units allows up to three pairs of units to be operated simultaneously.
2.2 Planningnotes
Before installing Fox up ventilation units, a ventilation plan should be made. This specifies the number of ventilation units,
their locations, the ventilation principle (transverse ventilation, single-room ventilation). Also it specifies the position and
number of the associated electronic control systems. Fox up ventilation units allow the following variations in ventilation:
• Single-roomventilationwith one ventilation unit, alternating between delivery and extraction modes with heat recovery at intervals,
alternatively delivery* or extraction* mode (* depending on the electrical connection, see page 9).
• Transverseventilationwith ventilation units operating in pairs, alternating between delivery and extraction modes with heat recove-
ry. While one unit of a pair runs in delivery mode, the designated second unit operates in extraction mode. The air direction of both units
swapping in the next interval, alternatively delivery* or extraction* mode (* depending on the electrical connection, see page 9)
.
Where possible, Fox up ventilation units should be used in pairs see Mode of operation. The pairs of units can be used in one or multiple
rooms. It can also be arranged across more than one floor within a unit. The air must be free to flow between the rooms which needs to be
ventilated by means of sufficient dimensioned overflow openings (e.g. door air grilles or shortened door leaves).
To prevent that odors are being transferred to other rooms (delivery phase of ventilation unit), two units operating in a push-pull arrange-
ment should always be installed when airing/ventilating kitchens, bathrooms or toilets with windows.
Fox up units should not be used in internal, windowless exhaust-air rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. It is not permissible to
connect the units to a shaft or pipe. In this case, the use of an exhaust fan in accordance with the national norm is recommended, e.g. the
BRAVO fan type.
The units are also unable to be installed in cellar rooms with light shafts, since it is possibility that the outgoing air is recirculated. When
the units are installed on a façade there needs to be a minimum distance of 1.2 m between individual units in order to avoid recirculation.
We recommend not using the unit in a location on the building that is exposed to the wind with a average wind speed of more then 5 m/s.
To prevent the ventilation units from causing inconvenience draughts, they should not be positioned directly next to people who are a
longer time in one place (seating, beds). Make sure that the flow of air into the room is not obstructed by furniture or curtains

3. DELIVERYUNITS/DELIVERYCONTENTS
A complete Fox up ventilation unit consists of an EPS wall duct and a fan unit for insertion into the wall duct. The fan unit
consists of a reversible fan (12 V/DC) and a ceramic heat accumulator for heat recovery.
Air is fed into the room through a design plate with filter insert, and carried to the outside through a weatherproof protective
hood.
The unit is operated via an electronic control system with control panel, and up to six ventilation units (3 x delivery, 3 x
extraction) can be controlled by the electronic control system. The electronic system is installed in a double-cavity wall box for flush-moun-
ted fitting.

5. SELECTINGINSTALLATIONSITE
When selecting the installation position, pay
attention to the outer wall of the building, the units
needs to be positioned esthetical correct in the
building façade. For example: the units should be
installed at the same height as the windows and at equal distances
from windows.
The outside or room-side air inlet/outlet opening is recommended
at a minimum distance of 150 to 200 mm from adjacent façade
components and room corners!
Fox up ventilation units should be installed at a height of 1.6 to 1.8
m above the finished floor level, and the room-side air inlet/outlet
opening must not be covered by furniture or curtains.

6.1 Tapholedrillingforwallduct
Create a hole with a diameter of 200 mm.
Feed the fan connecting lead (min. 3 x 0.25 mm2) into the wall duct.
The fan connecting lead must be perpendicular to the axe of the wall duct.
6.2 Installationofwallducts
Determine the overall thickness of the wall structure from
the dimensions of:
- The work measurement (D)
- The outside (E) (e.g. heat insulation + plaster)
- The inside (X) (e.g. plaster + tiles).
- The minimal length might never be shorter then 240 mm
Slide the wall duct into the wall opening, observing the
gradient to the outside / the room-side marking of the wall
duct. Allow the wall duct to stand perpendicular on the
both room and façade sides in accordance with the above
calculation.
Attention:
To ensure good movement of the fan / heat unit in the
wall duct, deformations of the wall duct due to external
pressure/tension should be avoided!

6.3 Wallductforinsertionofconnectingleadofventilationunit
Feed the electric connecting lead of the ventilation unit (see
view from
room side) into the wall duct.
Check the correct position of the wall duct (overhangs
outside / inside) and close the openings of the wall duct with
the protective covers.
Finally, fill the cavities (if any) between the wall opening and
the wall duct with non-pressurized
expanding foam.
7. INSTALLATIONOFELECTRONICCONTROLSYSTEM
The electronic control system of Fox up ventilation units
is designed to be installed in a double hollow cavity
flush-mounted box. It can be used to control up to six Fox
up ventilation units.
The electronic control system is to be connected as statio-
nary equipment with fixed wiring.
See page 9 for electrical connection diagram.
The supply voltage of the electronic control system is 230 V/50 Hz. A light-plastic sheathed cable 3 x 1.5 mm2 (e.g. NYM-J 3 x 1.5 mm2) is
recommended as an incoming line.
The ventilation units are supplied by 12 V DC in combination with a PWM controlling signal. Therefore, the ventilation units should not under
any circumstances be connected to the 230 V mains voltage of the electronic control system. A light-plastic sheathed cable 3 x 0.25 mm2
(e.g. LiYY 3 x 0.25 mm2) is recommended as a control line for the ventilation units with a maximum length of 10m.
