1.1 Overv ew
1.1.1 The ComfoAir 155 CM is a ventilation system designed to provide improved indoor air quality in dwellings.
As a whole house system, the unit continuously extracts air from the non-habitable rooms and supplies fresh,
filtered air to habitable rooms. eat that is recovered from the air drawn from the bathrooms and kitchen is
passed through a heat exchanger and the heat that is recovered is transferred, to temper the supply air in
habitable rooms to provide a comfortable indoor environment.
1.1.2 A boost speed facility is provided to increase the ventilation rate, e.g. when cooking or showering, providing a
comfortable indoor environment. A two speed operation can be done via the Switch-Live (SL), a ZGS2 SL boost
switch or a ZGRC1 boost and alert controller can be used to provide this operation. A three speed operation can
be done via the ZGS1, or combining the Switch-Live with a ZGS2 SL switch for the AUX speed.
(See Section 2.8.5 Electrical).
1.1.3 This product features on the PCDB as a high efficiency version and part of the process requires the Installation

2.4 Mount ng
2.4.1 The ComfoAir 155 CM unit is supplied with two adjustable ceiling fixing brackets. Each bracket is a long strip
and has four fixing points located at equal intervals. It is recommended that six screws per bracket are used to
secure the unit. Screws and fixings are not supplied.
WARNING: Ensure that the ceiling board can support 20kg
(ComfoAir 155 C ) or re-inforcement maybe required.
2.4.2 Proceed to align and secure the first ceiling bracket taking into account the available ceiling space to mount the
unit. Locate second bracket position (See Figure 1) and loosely fit four screws within each slot at the inner
nearside point. This will allow the bracket to be slotted inwards to secure the unit.
2.4.3 The unit fixes to the ceiling bracket by slotting the bracket attached to the back of the unit and sliding into place.
First ensure connection is achieved on the “securely” fixed bracket (See Figure 2) and push unit up to ceiling,
slide “loosely” fixed bracket to connect with the bracket on the back of the unit (See Figure 3).
2.4.4 Tighten loose screws until the unit is securely fitted (See Figure 4), add an additional two screws to the outside
slots. Screw points for both brackets are shown in Figure 5.

2.6 Condensate Dra n
2.6.1 It is important that any condensate MUST be drained away.
• The ComfoAir 155 CM unit is provided provided with a condensate drain located at the side of the unit
(See Figures 6-8) and can be rotated for ease of connection.
The drain plug allows a condensate drain hose (21.5mm diameter) to be push connected and solvent
welded/sealed. Please ensure a water tight seal is achieved.
2.6.2 The drain must have a 5º fall and can either be chased into the wall or run downwards from the unit into the
nearest waste water network. Ensure that steps are taken to minimise the risk of mechanical damage to the
drainage pipe work.
I PORTANT NOTE: The condensate drain must incorporate a waterless
trap or U bend to create an air block and avoid leakage of smells back
into the unit. If the unit is installed within a loft space, please ensure
that the condensate drain is insulated to prevent against freezing.
2.6.3 In some instances, a condensate connecting point will already be provided as part of the building design.
The position of this point, relative to where the unit is to be installed should be checked for any connection
misalignment and any necessary adjustment made before proceeding any further.

2.7 Duct ng Gu del nes
2.7.1 Please refer to design drawings for proposed ducting layout.
2.7.2 Four spigots are provided for connection of the ducting;
• ComfoAir 155 CM - 125mm nominal diameter
Ductwork should be securely connected to spigots. Failure to do this will cause unnecessary air leakage and
impair performance. Ducting must be connected to all four spigots according to right or left hand configuration
(See Section 2.3 for Configur tion). It is recommended that a minimum distance of 200mm is maintained
between the ComfoAir 155 CM and any ducting bends.
2.7.3 To prevent condensation, ensure that the intake and exhaust ductwork from the unit is insulated.
2.7.4 Where ducts are exposed in unheated areas, such as roof spaces, they must be insulated with at least 25mm of
insulation.
2.7.5 If applicable, Fire Dampers UST BE FITTED in accordance with Part B of the Building Regulations.
2.7.6 Rigid Ducting
• Install using the fewest number of fittings to minimise resistance to air flow.
• Where possible, final connection to grilles and unit should be made with a flexible connection.
• Mechanically fix ducts using metal jubilee clips and appropriate non-hardening sealant for air tightness.
WARNING: Do not use screws for connection and ensure jubilee clips
are not over tightened.
2.7.7 Flexible Ducting
• Ensure ducting lengths are kept to a minimum and ducting is pulled taut so that it is smooth and straight.
A maximum of 300mm should be used on each spigot.
• Mechanically fix ducts using metal jubilee clips and tape seal for air tightness.
W ARNING: Should be in accordance with local Building Regulations.

2.7.8 The intake fresh air should be directly from the outside.
• If drawn through a wall, an external grille should be fitted.
• If drawn through a roof, a recognised roof terminal should be fitted.
• Ensure that the free area opening of the grille/terminal is a minimum of 90% of the free area of the ducting
being used.
2.7.9 The exhaust air must exit to the outside through a wall or roof and must be protected by a wall grille or
recognised roof terminal.
• Roof terminal to have a minimum equivalent free area of 10,000mm2.
2.7.10 Intake and exhaust pipes should be installed at least 1m apart to avoid the cross contamination of airflows.
