• Do not use in bathrooms or food preparation areas etc.
If you use the unit at the place of much soot and high humidity, the filter or the Heat Exchanger gets clogged
and disables you to use it.
• Use the Heat Exchange V entilator s in the ambient temperature of 40°C or less.
Never install the unit at the place where the flame likely reaches directly the unit. If you use it at the atmosphere of
more than 40°C for hours , it is likely to cause deterior ation or def ormation or damage of the resin part.
• Be careful of dewing and frosting.
As shown in the figure to the right, suppose a high temp. absorbing air condition A and a low temp absorbing air condition B are plotted on the air line
figure, then a high temp air A is heat-exchanged by the unit and goes out of
the saturation curve as shown by Point C. In this case, the unit will be dewed
or frosted. To avoid this, y ou are required to heat a low temp air B up to B' so
as to get C' below the saturation curve, before using the unit.

12. Q & A FOR HEAT EXCHANGE VENTILATORS
(Users are responsible for the following contents.)
Question
u Fan does not operate.
u Fan does not ventilate
(suction air).
Answer
•Is the electric wiring securely performed?
For this model, the terminal block for connection of cables is provided
to the side of the main unit. The connecting works between the power
supply and the switch and between the switch and the main unit are
performed by the special dealers. Incorrect cabling from the specified
switch and the switches disables to adjust the air volume. Therefore,
check the cable connection.
Are not the various filters clogged with dust, etc.?
•
Perform cleaning described in Owner’s Manual.
Is not the heat exchanger clogged with dust, etc.?
•
Especially in case that the mounting direction of the product is incorrect (indoor side and outdoor side), dust, etc. is clogged in a short time
because the indoor air and outdoor air do not pass through the filter but
flow directly in the heat exchanger.

Does not generate the dew condensation on the heat exchanger?
•
In the heat exchange, the temperature difference between indoor and
outdoor is widened. Therefore, in the heat exchanger , the de w condensation generates according to some conditions of temperature and humidity, and the dew condensation/freezing generates according to some
conditions of outdoor air . In these cases, the status returns to the original
status when temperature of the outdoor air ascends and thaws. For the
measures, heating of air at low-temperature side is necessary as described in Installation Manual.
Are thermal insulation process applied to 2 duct pipes (Air suction
•
OA and air dischar ge EA) at outdoor side?
Be sure to apply thermal insulation because the temperature difference
between indoor and outdoor is widened and the dew condensation may
generate according to some conditions of temperature and humidity.
Is the product installed horizontally?
•
If the product is slanted, various troubles may be caused.
Is not the ventilator operated with the normal ventilation in the
•
winter season?
If the ventilator is operated with the normal ventilation in the winter
season, the surface of the main unit is cooled with the outdoor air
resulting in dew condensation on the surface.
