1. The Components of the CVE ECO 2 RFT 13 How to operate the unit Maintenence and warranty Information for the installer Manufacturer s statement 0 EC Declaration of Conformity SPOANDAHRWN 1 Introduction Interior comfort and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important considerations in building More and more equipment is being developed to control the climate within the home while meeting the requirements for comfort and energy efficiency One of these devices is the Heatrae Sadia CVE ECO 2 RFT extractor unit which is the heart of the whole house ventilation system AHeatrae Sadia CVE ECO 2 RFT has been installed in your home In this user manual you will find information about the necessity of good ventilation and how your Heatrae Sadia CVE ECO 2 RFT works Additionally we explain how to operate and maintain the unit It is important that you read this user manual thoroughly before using the ventilation system in your home It is also a good idea to keep the manual near your Heatrae Sadia CVE ECO 2 RFT unit Compliance with Building Regulations The 2010 Edition of the U K Building Regulations Approved Document F1 Means of Ventilation applicable in England and Wales details 4 clearly defined systems of ventilation to dwellings System 3 Continuous mechanical extract MEV is complied with by the new CVE ECO 2 RFT ultra high efficiency whole house extract ventilation system2. System 3 Continuous mechanical extract requires a minimum high rate in each wet room to be achieved Kitchens 13 I s and both utilities and bathrooms 8 I s sanitary only 6 l s The minimum low rate is calculated by taking the number of bedrooms in the dwelling and applying the V s value from Table 5 1b In addition the rate should be no less than 0 3 l s per m of internal floor area all storey s plus for each additional occupant over and above the anticipated two for the first bedroom and one for each of the others a further 4 I s must be added to the extract rate The system provides quiet uninterrupted extract ventilation from the dwelling removing warm stale air via all of the wet rooms creating a permanent air path through the property from the dry habitable rooms Air is usually drawn into the property through background ventilators located in the building facades However if the system is being installed to solve an incoming airborne noise issue background ventilators may be omitted subject to the proven air tightness of the dwelling There is a boost facility on the fan which enables the extract rates from all wet rooms to be increased to counter increased pollutants cause by cooking or bathing activities The current Building Scotland Regulations refers to continuously operating mechanical extract ventilation in accordance with the guidance in BRE Building Research Establishment Digest 398 a pap

11. d has two potentiometers to adjust the ventilation unit The potentiometers can be adjusted to set the minimum and or maximum capacity Potentiometer 1 adjusts the low setting for the unit This potentiometer is limited on the lower side so there can never be too little ventilation The factory setting is 75 m h This potentiometer should be adjusted to achieve the minimum rate as defined in ADF If the minimum rate cannot be achieved at low speed then the medium speed should be set to the ADF minimum rate instead The medium speed is calculated automatically by the unit it is defined by a difference in the low and high speeds Potentiometer 2 adjusts the high speed setting This potentiometer has a factory setting of 225 m h The high speed should be adjusted to the high rate as defined in ADF The available range is 175 m h to 325 m h at 150 Pa When setting up the system if more ventilation is needed open the valves more fully to obtain the required capacity before adjusting the speed Increasing the rpms of the motor leads to increased energy consumption and higher noise levels Removal of the front cover The front cover can be removed using a screwdriver The clasp is on the left top side of the cover and the extractor case The cover can be pressed open by horizontally inserting a screwdriver into the clasp The cover can then be pulled out by hand 22 Removal of motor chassis with motor fan assembly There a
12. e 2 Why is ventilation important Ventilation is necessary In the past people built houses which were not air tight which leaked air for example at the connection point of the wall and the floor or roof Cracks were always visible around windows and doors All these openings ensured that large volumes of air moved in and out of the buildings When the wind was blowing the complete air content of the home was refreshed three to four times an hour This ensured very good ventilation of the home but a lot of energy was lost Construction methods have changed Floors walls and roofs are when possible constructed with a layer of insulation The insulation ensures that there are nearly no cracks and the airtightness is increased It is a misconception to think that there is still enough ventilation in a home without some type of ventilation system Ventilation is absolutely necessary in an air tight home to prevent problems related to humidity mould and the health of the residents Moisture content of the home Incorrect use of the ventilation system by the resident in combination with today s well insulated homes gives humidity an open field The moisture content in the home increases and can cause health humidity and mould problems A family of four persons produces 14 to 20 litres of moisture per day just by breathing sleeping cooking washing dishwashing bathing watering plants etc Many products such as textile c
