2.0 INTRODUCTION

The ECO5-1Z wall mounted range of units are designed to offer 
improved sound levels and an aesthetically pleasing installation by 
housing a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery unit (MVHR) and 
attenuator inside an acoustically lined enclosure. 

The MVHR unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has full 
speed control for background and boost ventilation rates. To recover 
heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block is utilised. The heat 
exchanger can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat.

If the MVHR unit has integral automatic HX bypass (AB models 
only),

 the bypass damper shall open automatically via a wax actuator 

allowing the air to bypass the heat exchanger to deliver fresh filtered air 
during the warmer months.

3.0  MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance 
with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory 
governing regulations. 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. 

Allow a minimum of 360m in front of the MRXBOXAB-ECO3.

The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall away from direct 
sources of frost, heat and water spray or moisture generation. For a 
vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a solid wall.

The unit must remain switched on at all times to maintain 
ventilation within the dwelling. Turning the unit off will cause long 
term damage to the unit and building fabric.

3.1 Transport Fixings

To prevent damage during transportation the product is shipped with 
securing fixings, these can be found front and centre of the enclosure 
top panel (Figure 3). These must be removed before use, failure to do so 
will result in excessive vibration and noise. The screws removed can be 
discarded and replaced with rubber caps provided.

3.2 Wall Mounting

The unit is designed for wall mounting on a solid wall only, a 
gypsum block/plasterboard wall will not suffice. 

Examples of suitable installation are shown overleaf. The wall brackets 
supplied should be secured to the wall using suitable fixings (supplied 
by others) as per the dimensions given in figure 4. The head of the 
chosen fixing should protrude no more than 8mm from the wall 
bracket. The enclosure assembly can then be lifted using suitable 
equipment and moved into position so it is sitting directly on the wall 
brackets (ensuring the rear panel of the enclosure is not in contact 
with the wall bracket fixings). The enclosure can be secured to the wall 
brackets using the 4x M8 fixings supplied.

No part of enclosure should be in contact with the building structure, 
the only components that should be in contact are the wall mounting 
brackets.

Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed true in all 3 

dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflow from the 

internal condensation drip tray.
