8 MVHR-DRAIN Installation 3.7 Ventilation Flow Rates
Any air intake terminal must be installed in accordance with the
appropriate regulation. As a guide, the BS5440 series of British
Standards deals with this issue and currently states that an air
intake must be at a minimum distance of 300mm from a gas
boiler balanced flue. Installers are advised to be aware of the
requirements of this standard when installing ‘through the wall’

3.8.1 Pre Commissioning MRXBOX MVHR Units
MRXBOX units are designed to ventilate the whole dwelling and must
not be used during site construction or the clean-up period. Cement
and plaster dust can be abrasive and can affect fan performance
and reliability. Please ensure that the filters are checked prior to
commissioning to ensure there is no build-up of dust or debris.
While the property is drying out, very high moisture levels are likely
to occur. Therefore it is advisable that if the installation and building
works are complete the unit is left running. If the building works are
not complete please close the air valves or cover up the air valves to
prevent condensation forming in the ductwork and the MRXBOX unit
due to natural migration of warm air.

5.0 COMMISSIONING 6.2 Status Indication
The filters fitted inside the unit are protected with a plastic film. The status of the unit is indicated by a series of LED’s on the front cover.
The variants are listed below.
Prior to commissioning remove the covers (Figure 20), take off the
film and replace. The display on the unit control panel will not indicate when a
higher speed setting has been triggered by an external source, such

6.0 CONTROLS
6.1 Humidity Adjustment
This product contains an internal humidity sensor fitted into the air-
flow extracting from the wet rooms. When the unit senses that the
humidity exceeds the set point, the unit will boost to that set by the
commissioned boost speed. The set point can be found on the front
of the unit (Figure 18) and is at its least sensitive when turned fully
clockwise. Note that the sensor is measuring humidity from all the wet
rooms at the same time and should not be relied on to solely boost the
unit.
Additional switch should be used local to the wet rooms (Section 4.2).
