Compliance with Building Codes
The most recent laws introduced to reduce energy
consumption require compliance with a series of
constraints which concern the performance provided
and the energy consumption of ventilation equipment.
In particular, the 2006 Edition of the U.K “Building
Regulations Document F1”: means of Ventilation (ADF
applicable in England and Wales) details 4 clearly
defined systems of ventilation to dwellings. System 4 Continuous mechanical extract with heat recovery
(MVHR) is complied with by the new VORT PROMETEO
HR 400 ultra-high efficiency whole house heat recovery
ventilation system.
In addition the unit fully complies with the requirements
of the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’ which details 6
levels of C02 emission improvement over 2006 Building
Requirements. In order to operate in accordance with
ADF, the unit must be set by the installer to deliver air
volumes a stated in the Approved Document and as per
the extract of ADF on page 39 of this brochure.
Description and Operation
Vortice PROMETEO HR 400 (henceforth “the
appliance”), is an extremely high efficiency heat
recovery centralised ventilation system that can be
installed in a horizontal (using the supports provided),
and vertical position (resting on the floor or on the wall,
using the special metal brackets provided).
During normal operation the stale air is extracted from
the kitchen, the bathrooms, en-suites, wc’s and the
utility rooms; at the same time, fresh air from outside is
supplied into the bedrooms, living and dining rooms.
The air flows required are detailed in current
regulations; in the England and Wales the “Building
Regulations Document F1” apply and in Scotland the
regulations are in the “Scottish Technical Handbook
2007: Section 3.14”.
During normal operation the total volumes of air
extracted and air supplied back in are essentially the
same. The incoming and outgoing air flows are
separate and suitably filtered. During the cold season
the heat of the expelled air is transferred to the incoming
air flow, with an approximate efficiency of 95%. The
condensation created in the process, which is collected
inside the product, must then be drained off to the
outside.
The appliance ensures the silent and continuous
ventilation/extraction of the air from the home, removing
the “stale” air from all wet rooms and creating a
permanent air path, through the property, from the dry
habitable rooms. Air, drawn into the property by the fan
is routed through an integral high-efficiency synthetic
heat exchanger where warmth from the extracted air is
transferred to the incoming fresh air before it is supplied
to the habitable rooms.
22
Temperature ranges
The outdoor temperature interval (the temperature of the
air from outside fed into the home, before the exchanger
and therefore not yet heated) required for the appliance
to work properly is between -30°C and +50°C
(temperatures < -30°C are signalled by the outdoor
thermometer icon flashing on the remote control;
temperatures > +50°C result in an error indication and
cause the appliance to stop running).
The indoor temperature interval (the temperature of the
air extracted from the home, before the exchanger and
therefore not yet cooled) required for the appliance to
work properly is between +10°C and +50°C (for indoor
temperatures above this value, the appliance stops and
issues an error code).
Guarantee and Responsibility

This inlet is used to introduce the air extracted from
within the house into the appliance. The duct requires
thermal insulation.
Clear air inlet into the home
(supply to internal) (fig.17)
This outlet is used to expel the stale air outside once it
has been processed by the heat exchanger. The duct to
which the outlet is to be connected must be thermally
insulated (to avoid the formation of condensate on its
inside and outside parts), and equipped with devices to
dampen any vibration. If the terminal is on a roof it is
mandatory to use a suitable device designed to avoid
the formation of condensation and rain water
infiltrations.
17
Fresh air intake from the outside (supply from
external) (fig.15)
15
This outlet is used to introduce external air into the
home, following treatment in the heat exchanger. In
order to guarantee the optimum level of acoustic
comfort, the silencer provided must be fixed to this
outlet.
This inlet is used to supply the air from outside; the duct
must be thermally insulated and provided with devices
capable of dampening any vibration. If the terminal is on
a roof it is mandatory to use a suitable device designed
to avoid the formation of condensation and rain water
infiltrations.
Connection of the condensation draining tube
The connection point for this tube is located on the
underside of the appliance. The condensation drainage
can be achieved by connecting a flexible tube, supplied
with the appliance, with an internal diameter of
approximately 19 mm. To avoid the formation of air
locks a siphon must be created with the tube, as shown
in the fig.18. Cut the tube end diagonally.
The condensation drainage can also be routed to the
home drainage system.

Function
60 mm
Initial setting
To satisfy REGULATORY obligations in force in the
country in which the appliance is installed, the installer
must set the Vmin and Vmax values (Vmed, which can
be selected in MAN mode, will follow on from the Vmin
and Vmax values) during installation, on the basis of the
system specifications (length and type of pipes, number
of bends, etc.).
These settings can be implemented by the installer
during the initial startup stage, using the remote control
provided. As well as the speed settings, the initial
configuration also includes adjustment of the air intake
and outlet grilles to and from the rooms.
The initial factory set values for the CO2 and RH
parameter thresholds are OFF and 90%.
In this situation, the appliance does not cut in at all, in
any way.
During this initial configuration process, the installer
should set the values for these thresholds to ensure that
the appliance cuts in as described below.
Appliance/remote control coupling
Before using the remote control, it must be initialised.
This activity should be entrusted to the installer (for
remote controls sold separately), or carried out during
production (for remote controls sold with the appliance).
The procedure is as follows:
a- shut off power for at least 30 sec;
b- restore power;
c- carry out the procedure below within 60 sec.
While the remote control is off, press and hold the
ENTER key for at least 3 seconds: the appliance will
synchronise with the remote control. The remote control
will emit a short but continuous sound signal to confirm
that it has synchronised with the appliance.
When each remote control has been synchronised, the
operational settings implemented up to that point will
28
Motors
The appliance is equipped with:
Two brushless three phase motors, specifically
designed to guarantee very low energy consumption
thanks to their high efficiency, which drive two
centrifugal fans with reverse blades provided with high
air flow efficiency which respectively extract the stale
and damp air from the service rooms (kitchens,
bathrooms, washrooms, etc), and introduce fresh
external air into the living rooms (sitting rooms, dining
rooms, bedrooms, etc).
A stepper motor, which operates the by-pass and defrosting valves.
Heat Exchanger
The two air flows, the intake and extract, meet in the
appliance, (without ever actually coming into direct
contact, in order not to jeopardize the quality of the
incoming air), inside the heat exchanger, where the
warm outgoing/extracted air yields its heat to the cold
incoming/infed air, thus minimizing the temperature
variation in the dwelling.
Valves
A valve system performs the summer by-pass and
automatic frost protection functions of the heat
exchanger.
By-pass: the purpose of the bypass is to ventilate the
dwelling without heat transfer. The opening of the bypass valves enables the direct introduction of external
air, without it passing through the exchanger. The flow of
air extracted from the house continues to pass through
the exchanger.
In the appliance the by-pass valve opening can take
place in two ways:
Manual, by pressing the MODE / SUMMER button on
the remote control;
Automatic, when the appliance operates in AUTO
mode. In this second case, the valve opens by way of
Text > 15°C if one of the following conditions applies:
• if Tint > Tset: Text ≤ Tint
or
• if Tint ≤ Tset: Text > Tint
(Tset = temperature previously set using the remote
control)
The by-pass valve closes automatically in the other
cases.
Frost protection: The appliance is fitted with an
automatic valve system that allows cold air from outside
to mix with warm air in the room where the unit is
installed.
ENGLISH
The combined action of this valve and the automatic
adjustment of the airflows extracted from and entering
the rooms prevents the formation of frost on the heat
exchanger; this device consists of a valve which allows
the incoming cold air to mix with the warmer air from the
room in which the appliance is installed.
The frost protection procedure on the appliance works
as follows:
the valve begins to open automatically; at the same
time, the air intake fan increases in speed so as to
increase airflow.
If this action is insufficient, the outside air intake fan
speed is reduced, to mimimise the amount of heat
needed to heat it up.
If even this action is insufficient, the extractor fan for the
warm air from inside increases its speed, to increase the
heat contribution available, while the intake fan remains
at minimum speed.
Lastly, if even this measure should be insufficient when
faced with particularly bad external climate conditions,
in the absence of an optional heating element, the air
intake fan stops completely and the valve is closed,
while the stale air extractor fan continues operating.
After a certain period of time, the air intake fan starts
again at minimum speed, the valve re-opens and the
external conditions are checked again; if in the
meantime the temperature exceeds the threshold limit,
the actions described above take place in reverse order.
If atmospheric conditions in the room are beyond the
potential of the above-mentioned system, the (optional)
heating element situated upstream of the heat recovery
unit in the fresh air duct automatically cuts in for the
precise time dictated by the appliance and thus ensures
that the aim is achieved.
N.B.
The frost protection switching on prevents any change
to the status of the appliance. Any commands made will
not be carried out by the appliance, and the message
“DEF” will be displayed temporarily.
This will remain on the screen for a few seconds and will
then disappear and reappear every 15 minutes for as
long as the heating element is powered by automatic
data updates from the appliance to the remote control.
If a malfunction is detected in the heater, the word “ICE”
will flash on the remote control display and will be
followed by a single beep. Carry out the RESET
procedure. The heating element icon will continue to
flash, to indicate the heater fault. In this case, contact
the Technical Support Centre.
IMPORTANT: make sure that nothing is placed close to
the anti-frost valve, as this could obstruct its normal
operation.
by the system.
A further optional filter, of class F7, placed in the internal
duct after the F5 filter, can provide an additional filtering
capability.
The state of filter clogging is constantly monitored by
the system, completely automatically. The need for
maintenance/replacement is signalled, both visually and
acoustically, on the remote control.
Sensors
The appliance is equipped with three temperature
sensors, one relative humidity sensor, which integrates a
further temperature sensor, and a CO2 sensor. More
specifically, if the relative humidity, CO2
and
temperature sensors detect values above the threshold
levels, the appliance operation adapts automatically, to
restore normal environmental conditions or at least in
line with those set.
IMPORTANT
Before the appliance will work correctly, the CO2/RH(%)
sensor needs an average of 1 hour for auto-calibration
purposes.
Filters
Two F5 filters, placed inside the inlet and extraction
channels close to the heat exchanger and accessible by
removing the front panel, safeguard it from the
impurities contained in the extracted stale air and avoid
the introduction of polluted air into the dwelling served

Disabling certain commands (by the Installer)
To satisfy the requirements of some specific application
certain functions accessible through the remote control
may be disabled by the installer. In this case the
appliance will operate in AUTO mode only: the user
can only set the TIMER function and change the time or
day of the week using the SET button to set the TIMER
and display:
the actual temperature of the stail air, before the heat
exchanger;
the relative humidity percentage of the stail air, before
the heat exchanger;
the CO2 concentration of the stail air, before the heat
exchanger;
the TIMER setting.
Pressing the other buttons, will be considered an
accidental event and will cause any action.
Prevention of changes to Vmin and Vmax speed
The installer can prevent others from making changes to
the maximum and minimum speed settings once he has
made the initial settings.
Warning/error signals
• When the CO2 limit is exceeded, an alarm condition is
generated which lights up the CO2 symbol on the
remote control. The appliance starts running at
maximum speed until the concentration of CO2 drops
below the limit value.
• When the batteries are exhausted, an icon
flashes on the remote control unit accompanied by a
sound signal (series of double beeps). When the
batteries are replaced, the sound signal stops and the
icon switches off.
• The dirty filters condition is indicated by a sound
signal (a series of beeps lasting 5 seconds) and the
corresponding icon
will flash on the display. This
signal stops when filter cleaning takes place.
• The clogged filters condition is indicated by a sound
signal (a series of beeps lasting 5 seconds) and the
corresponding icon
will flash on the display. In this
situation, the appliance automatically stops the
motors and opens the by-pass valve, to guarantee a
minimal air exchange. This signal stops when filter
cleaning takes place.
Malfunctions are indicated by error codes (ER01, ER02,
35
ENGLISH
etc...) on the display and by a series of double beeps.
These warnings persist until normal appliance operating
conditions have been restored. Malfunctions will be
indicated as follows:
ER01: by-pass/de-frosting valve blocked
ER02: motor driving outside air intake fan blocked
ER03: motor driving stale air exhaust fan blocked
ER04: remote control not receiving signals from
appliance
ER05: replace the filters
ER06: temperature sensor in the outdoor fresh air intake
duct, upstream of the exchanger, not active
ER07: temperature sensor in the outdoor fresh air intake
duct, downstream of the exchanger, not active
ER08: temperature sensor in the stale air outlet duct
leaving the household, downstream of the exchanger,
not active
ER09: Relative Humidity sensor in the stale air outlet
duct leaving the household, upstream of the exchanger,
not active
ER10: CO2 sensor in the stale air outlet duct leaving the
household, upstream of the exchanger, not active
ER12: outdoor temperature higher than the limit value
ER14: indoor temperature higher than the limit value.
N.B.
It should be noted that error signals (ER01, ER02 and
ER03, ER12, ER14 codes) caused by critical appliance
malfunctions will cause the appliance to stop working
until the problem has been resolved. In this case, the
beep will sound for 30 seconds; after this time it will
stop and an error message will remain on the display. In
other cases, once a problem has been signalled, the
appliance continues to run in the mode set previously.
The beep will sound for 5 seconds; after this time it will
stop and an error message will remain on the display.
Under these circumstances, the user will not be able to
change the operating mode (e.g. MAN or BP).
Reset error code
To stop the error code from being displayed (if the
remote control has not been disabled) press the
following keys one after the other: DISPLAY --> “-” -->
DISPLAY --> “+”.
After the RESET, the appliance starts running in AUTO
mode, in line with the standard initial parameters, only if
the problem causing the error has been resolved.
Similarly, if the appliance power supply has been cut off,
when it is restored the appliance will resume operation
in AUTO mode, in accordance with the standard initial
parameters.

In the event of repeated fuse failures, the appliance
should be checked by a trained electrician.
Maintenance/Cleaning
Filters
The periodical cleaning and maintenance of the filters is
left to the user. The filters must be kept clean to ensure
a correct and healthy operation of the appliance.
It is advisable to replace the filters once a year. To
access the filters follow the instructions below:
switch off the appliance (ON/OFF button);
wait 15 seconds;
disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply;
extract the filters from the appliance (fig.30,31,32);
30
ENGLISH
31
34
32
35
clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner; it is preferable
to replace the filters after a few cleanings and in any
case at least once a year;
reinstall the filters (fig.33,34,35);
33
In case of prolonged inactivity of the appliance we
recommend removing the filters, to prevent the risk of
being damaged, due to the possible formation of
condensation.
Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger does not usually require regular
cleaning. The frequency of cleaning is determined by
the level of air pollution (in input and output from the
home) and the state of efficiency of the filters.
The heat exchanger should in any case be replaced
every 6 years, even if the filters have been subjected to
regular maintenance.
To access the exchanger follow the instructions below:
disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply;
