To attain the best performance of the unit and to minimize turbulence-induced air pressure losses while mounting connect a straight air duct section on both sides of the unit.
Minimum straight air duct length:
equal to 1 air duct diameter on intake side
equal to 3 air duct diameters on outlet side
If the air ducts are not connected or the connected air ducts are too short, protect the unit parts from ingress of foreign objects by covering the spigots with a protecting grille or
other protecting device with mesh width not more than 12.5 mm to prevent uncontrollable access to the fans.
Prior to commissioning of the unit make sure it contains no objects.

The Vents Frigate HRV units are equipped with a condensate drain hose for condensate drainage (fig. 5). Connect the drain hose (1), U-trap (3) and drain system (5)
with metal, plastic or rubber pipes (2 and 4). The pipes must be sloped down at least by 3°. Before starting operation of the unit fill the system with water and check
that U-trap is always filled with water. Make sure that the water drainage is correct, otherwise some condensate may be accumulated inside the unit and provoke
subsequent equipment damage and water ingress to the room. The condensate drainage system is designed for operation at the ambient temperature above 32 ºF.
If the ambient temperature is below 32 ºF, insulate the drain system and provide air heating.
