1. WARNINGS

CAUTION:

This appliance is not designed for use by people (including children) of reduced physical, sensory
or metal capacity, or those inexperienced or ignorant unless they have received prior instruction or
supervision from someone responsible for their safety, about the use of the appliance

The central unit must be installed in the living area of the house and not in the roof spaces. The
networks of pipes must be installed, if possible, in the inhabitable space. If this is not the case, they
must be insulated with at least 50 mm of glass wool. Non-compliance with these conditions leads to
deterioration in the performance of the dual-flow central unit.

2. DESCRIPTION

2.1. General information

High-output dual-flow ventilation for houses.

Product controlled by a stylish and ergonomic radio remote control unit.
Thermal efficiency: 91.5% certified
Low-consumption motors.
Full by-pass for fresh air enabling optimum free cooling in summer.
Flow manifold on the waste air network resulting in reduced consumption all year round.

BOOST function: Increased flows for better night coolinge.
Option to manage a ground-coupled heat exchanger. Numerous possible configurations (see appendix).

Dual-flow ventilation enabling the fresh air to be blown into the «living» rooms (bedrooms, lounge,
living room) and waste air extracted from the damp rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, washrooms).
A network of ducts enables air to be distributed and blown into the house.

The external fresh air is filtered and pre-heated by passing through a highly-efficient heat exchanger.
This exchanger recovers the energy from the extracted air without mixing it with the renewed fresh air

2.3. Construction/Dimensions

Internal parts made from grey PSE material.
RAL 9010 white, polymer fascia.

Product equipped with:

- a high-output plate heat exchanger (91.5% certified),

- two F7 filters on the fresh and waste air networks,

- a full by-pass for the fresh air

- a flow manifold between the kitchen and domestic
water network,

- two EC low-consumption motors

- a circuit board,

Mount the strip on the wall ensuring it is horizontal.
Each mounting hole on the wall mount profile must have a wall plug so that the
permissible load can reach 120 kg.

Hook the product on to the strip.

3.3. Suspended assembly

Mount 4 vertical struts (threaded rod and M5 plug so
that that the permissible load may reach 120 kg) in the
designated places on the front of the product.
Hang the product on the ceiling using these 4 struts,
ensuring it is horizontal.

3.4. Product fitted to the ground

Use the 4 optional feet (feet part no.: 809 538) supplied
with the accessories.
Screw in the feet under the product using the 4 M8 screws supplied.
Place the product on the ground ensuring it is horizontal.

3.5. Air pipe connections & associated terminals

There are five tappings on the product - see the air pipe
connection diagram opposite.

It is preferable to install the network in the living spaces
Ensure that insulated pipes are used and comply with the
requirement for 50 mm rock wall

Recommendations concerning putting into service:

Each main part should include an air vent so that the ventilation by sweeping principle can be
adhered to. Network balancing shall be taken care of by a sizing study
The coupling of the fan unit to a ground-connected heat exchanger requires a sizing study to
be performed beforehand.

3.6. Installation/accessory precautions

Mounting the duct cover:

• Allow 500 mm between the ceiling and the top of the device).

• The duct cover is in three sections.

• Attach each section to the other using the lugs designed for this purpose.

• Position the front panel on top of the Duolix MAX,

with the sides apart and then clip them onto
the designated hooks.

CAUTION:

Check that no rubble or other foreign bodies risk damaging the fans once they are switched on.
This product includes two fans.
Take the necessary precautions to ensure the correct installation of the product and its network in
order to avoid any noise disturbance
Option to install silencers at the product’s outlet (PAS 125 DF part no.: 422 535).

3.7. Condensation connections

Clip the condensation union under the product (supplied).

Connect the waste pipe (not supplied) to the drain.
Fill the siphon and immerse the waste pipe to prevent suction noises.
Use a transparent siphon, if possible, so that the water level can be checked.
The siphon should always be filled.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

CAUTION:

BEFORE STARTING ANY OPERATION REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF THE TERMINAL ACCESS PANEL,
DISCONNECT THE DEVICE FROM THE MAINS BY SWITCHING THE BI-POLAR CIRCUIT BREAKER AND
ENSURING THAT THE SUPPLY CANNOT BE RESTORED ACCIDENTALLY

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONS WITH THE APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATIONS.

THE INSTALLATION SHOULD COMPLY WITH STANDARD NF C15-100 AND GOOD PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE.
EACH PRODUCT OR COMPONENT INVOLVED IN INSTALLATION MUST ALSO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE
APPLICABLE STANDARDS.

If the supply cable or another conductor is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
after-sales service or persons with similar qualifications in order to avoid danger.

2.5 A maximum rating bi-polar circuit breaker and circuit protected by 30 mA max. differential
circuit breaker.

4.2. Electrical connection of the product

To connect the product to the 230 VAC electrical supply, it does not need to be opened.
The Duolix MAX is a class I device and must be connected to earth.

Supply with a 1.5 mm² rigid, dual-insulation cable or 1.5 mm² wires under an annealed sleeve with a

5. SETTING UP THE MAX DUOLIX

CAUTION: To set up the unit, switch on the device

5.1. Inserting the batteries into the control

The unit should be electrically connected and supplied before switching on the control for the first time.

Insert three 1.5 V alkaline batteries (AAA LR03 type) in the direction indicated.

After inserting the batteries, press a key.

The flashing message «OFF» is displayed and the symbol appears on the screen.

The «OFF» message indicates that the control is not linked to the Duolix MAX unit. Linking them
enables the control and the Duolix MAX unit to recognise each other and to communicate with each
other (no interference possible with another unit in the vicinity).

CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced with incorrect batteries. Dispose of

used batteries in accordance with the instructions.

5.2. Linking procedure with the Duolix Max unit

Move towards the dual-flow unit with the control.

• If a link between the control and unit is possible, the following message appears for seven to eight

seconds, then disappears.

The linking procedure has been successful.

• If this message does not appear, follow the linking procedure:

1. Switch off the electrical supply to the Duolix MAX unit directly from a switchboard via the
relevant circuit breaker.

2. Wait for at least 20 seconds

3. Re-establish the electrical supply to the Duolix MAX unit via the circuit breaker.

4. Go to within three metres of your Duolix MAX unit with the control.

• In certain exceptional cases (loss of link), carry out the first four stages stated above, then press the

«Mode» key for ten seconds to launch linking.

5.3. Positioning the control

The range of the control may vary depending on the obstacles (walls, floors, etc.). In most cases, the
range is sufficient to position the control at any location in the house.

Recommendations:

• The control must not be exposed to a source of dampness (shower, basin, etc.)

• The maximum recommended ambient temperature around the control should not exceed 40°C

continually.

• To guarantee correct operation, it is not advisable to place or mount the control on a metal support.
