or electrical work!
• All electrical connections must be carried out by an authorized installer and in accordance with local rules
and regulations.
2General
A preheater is available as an accessory for Systemair Topvex SC, Topvex TC. Install the preheater in the outdoor duct
to prevent icing in the heat exchanger, compensate for loss of heating capacity during by-pass defrosting or to supplement the heating capacity during colder conditions.
The kit contains of 1 preheater, 1 outdoor air sensor and 1 instruction.
3Installation
3.1Outdoor air sensor
Mount the enclosed outdoor air sensor to the outdoor air duct (OS in figure 1).
Replace the existing OS-label inside the air handling unit with the new PHS-label. Attach the new OS-label next to the
added outdoor air sensor.

Note:
Select When defrosting if preheater is used to maintain supply air temperature at desired level only
during by-pass defrosting (Pressure monitoring).
Select Unit running if preheater is used to prevent icing in the exchanger or to support section defrosting
or heating capacity in very cold climates.

4.4Operation settings
Data & Settings > Temperature control > Preheater
Adjust the preheater temperature set point in the Data & Settings > Temperature control > Preheater menu
Note:
When defrosting:
To maintain a supply temperature during by-pass defrosting the preheater need to compensate for the
missing heating capacity. E.g. if the desired supply air temperature is 22 °C, but the heating capacity is only
10 °K the preheater setpoint need to be set to 12 °C.
Unit running:
Example A: To prevent any ice build-up in the exchanger the preheater setpoint need to be 0 °C
Example B: In very cold climates the preheater setpoint need to equal the outdoor temperature used for
dimensioning the unit’s heating capacity. E.g. If the unit is dimensioned for outdoor temperatures down to
-18 °C but outdoor temperatures in this location may be even lower the preheater setpoint need to be
-18 °C.
