INSTALLATION
OPERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Comply with the following instructions before beginning to install the appliance:
- Make sure that all parts of the convector fan are in a perfect condition.
- Make sure that the appliance has not sustained damage during transport. Immediately notify the haulage contractor if damage is discovered. Check to make sure that the accessories required for installation and the relative documentation are included in the pack.
- Convey the packed appliance as near to the installation site as possible.
- Do not stack weights or place tools on top of the packed appliance.
CHOICE OF THE INSTALLATION SITE
Bear the following points in mind before installing the appliance:
- Position the appliance on a solid surface unable to cause vibrations and able to bear the weight of the structure.
- Install the appliance well away from heat or vapour sources and where the air intake and delivery are not obstructed.
- Position the appliance in a place where the condensation can easily flow away.
- Position the appliance in a place where the air can circulate all round the room.
- Ceiling-mounted units with open port air deliveries must be installed on the opposite side to:
• windows or large glazed areas
• entrance doors accessed fron outdoors.
This allows the air flow to efficiently oppose re-entering summer heat and winter dispersions. Only when the rooms
are very long may the position be able to influence a flow of air on to a glazed surface. Ceiling-mounted units must
never be installed over doors that open outdoors since they would mainly take in outdoor air and this would notably
lower their efficiency.
- Do not install the appliance in places where there are inflammable gases or acid or alkaline substances which would
irreparably damage the copper, aluminium heat exchangers or the plastic components.
- Do not install the appliance in workshops or kitchens where oil vapours mixed with the treated air could deposit on
the heat exchange banks, thus reducing their performances, or on the internal parts of the unit which could be
damaged.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
The following tools are required in order to install the convector fan:
-
Pipe wrench for wet connections
Flat cross-head screwdriver
Drill
Scissors
Wire stripper
Pipe cutters
Pipe benders
Measuring tape
Level
Goggles and protective gloves
17
INSTALLATION
ACCESSORY PARTS NORMALLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET AND REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
The following items are also required:
- Plumbing unions
- Anti-condensation tape
- Adhesive tape
- Copper pipe of flexible steel pipe with built-in unions
- Ø 8mm press-in plugs
HOW TO INSTALL THE APPLIANCE
The position chosen for the installation must allow the convector fan to be easily serviced. It must also ensure access
to the air vent valve at the side of the frame (housed in the wet connections). Proceed in the following way to install
the appliance:
1. Disconnect the electricity main and make sure that no one is able to connect it again during the installation work.
2. Remove the intake filter as illustrated in Fig.1 (model VM-B only)
3. Remove the four screws (1-Fig.1) that fix the casing to the frame. Take out the casing (version VM-B VM-F only)
4. If the appliance is to be wall-mounted, use the supplied template to center the holes. Maintain a distance of at least
100 mm for the VM-B version. If the appliance is to be installed on the floor on feet, comply with the assembly
instructions supplied with the accessory.
5. For fixing to the wall or ceiling use screw anchors (not supplied) of diameter 8-10mm (2 fig.1).
6. Make the wet connections. Refer to Fig. on page 11 for the positions of the plumbing connections. It is advisable
to insulate the water pipes or to install trays, available as accessories for both the horizontal and vertical configurations, to prevent water from dripping when the appliance operates in cooling mode. The cindensation draining
network must be sized to ensure that the pipes slant to a sufficient extent (at least: 1%). If the condensation is
drained into the sewers, it is advisable to make a trap to prevent unpleasant odours from rising back into the room.
7. Make the electric connections as describerd in the SAFETY REGULATIONS chapter and with reference to the
wiring diagrams in this manual.
8. Fit the air filter back in position (version VM-B only).
9. Hook up the electricity main again.

INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: always make sure that the electric power source has been disconnected before proceeding with
any operation.
Refer to the wiring diagrams on pages 10-13 for the electrical connections. The appliance must be connected to the
power supply by means of an omnipolar switch with contact opening distance of at least 3mm. Make sure the system
is equipped with safety valves against the risk of excessive pressures. Fit a F 2A 250V fuse on the power line to protect the appliance against short-circuits. Panels equipped with an electronic thermostat (series TA-F, TAR-F, TE-F,
TER-F) are all complete with a minimum water temperature probe. This allows the ventilating action to stop whenever the temperature of the water entering the bank drops below 39°C. The commutator (series CM-F, CMR-F) is preengineered for this function when the optional enabling thermostat is installed (TC-F).
If a single-rank bank is mounted, the minimum temperature probe is positioned in the housing formed on it.
If the three-way valve is installed (series VB1-F, VB3F), the minimum water temperature probe must be positioned on
the pipe prior to valve VB1-F (if installed) or on valve VB3-F, regardless of whether the single-rank bank is fitted.
In ducted versions with a multi-speed motor, three speeds of the six available can be enabled by selecting the relative connections in the terminal board installed on the motor.
Proceed in the following way to make the electrical connections:
1. Disconnect the electricity main and make sure that no one can connect it again while the operations are being
carried out
2. Remove the intake filter as illustrated in fig.9 (model VM-B only)
3. Remove the four screws (1-Fig.9) that fix the casing to the frame and take out the casing (version VM-B VM-F
only).
4. Install the terminal board that connects the ventilating unit.
5. Connect the protection wire coming from the supply line directly to the earth screw, suitable for guaranteeing the
equipotential connections of all the metal earths and structural parts of the machine (Fig. 3-A).
6. Loosen the screws of the electric power source connections.
7. Loosen the wire clamp, insert the power cable and then lock it in place.
8. Electrically connect the control panel (if applicable) to the terminal board.
9. Make sure the cables are correctly inserted and fixed in the seats, positioning them as described in fig. 3-B.
10. Fit the casing back on (version VM-B VM-F only)
11. Fit the intake filter back in place (VM-B only)
12. Hook up the electricity main again.
HOW TO TURN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (only for 3row version)
If the bank connections must be turned to the right-hand side of the machine, remember (see Fig.3-C) to re-position all the electrical components on the left-hand side.

OPERATION
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONVECTOR FAN
The convector fan is operated by means of a control panel (available in three versions) which can be fixed to the wall
or machine. On this, it is hidden under one of the two side covers (the control panel will be installed on either the left
or right side, depending on the position of the bank).
1: How to turn the appliance on/off:
COMMUTATOR
• Open the cover if the panel is mounted on the machine (version
VM-B/VM-F only).
• Switch the position of the top selector. A led will come on to indicate that the convector fan is operating (with the exception of versions
CMR-F and CM-F).
• Close the cover again (version VM-B/VM-F).
2: Temperature control:
• Open the cover if the panel is mounted on the machine (version
VM-B/VM-F only)
• Use the knob to select the required temperature (with the exception
of versions CMR-F and CM-F). The temperature corresponding to
the central position of the knob (pos.0) is:
- Winter rate: 20°C
- Summer rate: 25°C
• Close the cover again (version VM-B/VM-F only)
BASIC
3: Ventilation control:
• Open the cover if the panel is mounted on the machine (version THERMOSTAT
VM-B/VM-F only)
• Turn the selector to one of the three available speed in order to
obtain the desired performance.
• Close the cover again (version VM-B/VM-F only)
4: Seasonal mode:
• Open the cover if the panel is mounted on the machine (version
VM-B/VM-F only)
• Turn the selector as illustrated below:
: To operate in heating mode
: To operate in cooling mode.
- AUTO: in this mode, the convector fan is able to “understand” the
operating mode required (with the exception of versions CMR-F
and CM-F).
• Close the cover again (version VM-B/VM-F only)
5: Economy key (versions TER-F and TE-F only)
This function allows the winter and summer set-points to be changed.
• Open the cover if the panel is mounted on the machine (version
VM-B/VM-F only)
• Press the economy button. A led will indicate that the function has
been activated, thus:
• The fan will operate at minimum speed.
• The temperature corresponding to the central position of the knob
(pos.0) is:
- Winter rate: 17°C
- Summer rate: 28°C
• Close the cover again (version VM-B/VM-F only)

HOW TO CLEAN THE AIR FILTER
Proceed in the following way to clean the filter:
Fig.1
1:Remove the filter. Use a flat screwdriver to do this. See fig.1
2:Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with water. After washing,
allow the filter to completely dry away from heat sources.
3:Fit the filter back in position and make sure that it has correctly fitted into its
housing.
NOTE: It is advisable to replace the filter before the winter season.
HOW TO DRAIN OUT THE CONDENSATION
Proceed in the following way:
- During the summer season, make sure that the condensation drain pipe is free from dust or other forewign bodies
that could clog it and cause condensation to spill out.
- The condensation drain pipe is accessible in versions with cabinets by removing the metal.
- Make sure that the pipe slopes sufficiently to allow the water to flow out.
