Installation

The air diffuser is normally suspended from the ceiling. An M8 
pop nut, i.e. a threaded grommet that facilitates installation, is 
in the centre of the top of the air diffuser. On the size 315 and 
400 air diffusers, there are two M8 pop nuts for more stable 
mounting, see figure 2 and 3. 

Commissioning

Commissioning should be carried out with the diffuser face 
mounted. Pull the measuring tubes and the damper adjustment 
cords out of the air diffuser through one disc in the diffuser 
face. Then connect the manometer to the correct measuring 
tube(s): two blue tubes for supply air and one transparent tube 
for extract air. The rated coefficient of performance of the air 
register can be used in a calculation to determine the required 
commissioning pressure. Conclude commissioning by adjusting 
the damper to the correct blade position, tie a commissioning 
knot in the damper cords to indicate the damper position. See 
Figure 2. The K-factor is specified on the product’s identification 
label and last in these instructions.

Maintenance

• 

Clean the air diffuser if needed with lukewarm water and 

dishwashing detergent added.

• 

The duct system can be accessed and lightly pulling the 

spring-loaded diffuser front downwards and then tilting, 

see figure 1.

• 

Dismantle the perforated air distribution plate located on 

the inlet as shown in figure 4.

• 

Loosen the damper in the inlet from its bayonet fastening 
by rotating to the side.
