Designed to meet the needs of users who wish to employ electric heating or
supplement conventional water heating systems (e.g. thermal ventilating units
supplied with hot water from a heat pump), the EDEH supplementary heating
element module can be used on all FWD thermal ventilating units.
The EDEH accessory is available in the following versions:

The EDEH module shown in figure (1) is mainly composed of:
A) Armoured finned heating elements made of aluminium, complete with
supporting brackets for fastening them to the load-bearing structure of the
electric module, which is built from thick galvanised sheet steel, duly insulated
and provided with an electric control panel for housing the power relays and wire
terminals. In conformity with electric safety directives, the module is equipped
with 3 automatic-reset safety devices (one for each heating element) and one
manual-reset safety device.
B) An automatic-reset safety thermostat, integral with the heating element,
which switches it off should overheating occur as a result of irregular operating
conditions or a fault in the fan motor unit;
C) A manual-reset safety thermostat, mounted on the load-bearing structure,
which switches off the heating element in the event of a simultaneous failure
of all 3 automatic-reset safety thermostats.
Caution: the sensitive element of the manual-reset safety thermostat is a
capillary bulb that must be duly re-positioned, always in the top part, if the EDEH
module is installed in a configuration differing from the standard one. In the
standard configuration, the box housing the electric connections is situated on
the same side as the water connections. Therefore, viewing the machine from
the front after it has been installed, the electric module will be positioned on
the machine itself with the electric box on the left side. In this configuration,
the thermostat bulb will be in the correct position (factory configuration). If the
electric module is installed in the opposite position (electric box on the right),
it will be necessary to move the thermostat bulb into the position shown in
figure (2); care must be taken to fasten it securely with clamps, using the holes
provided for this purpose.
D) An electric box incorporating the power contactors, connection terminals
and manual-reset thermostat.
E) L-shaped brackets and screws for fastening the module to the machine outlet.
The EDEH heating element must be associated with the following control:

INSTALLATION
Warning! Before starting the installation procedure, disconnect the thermal
ventilating unit from the power supply
THE EDEH ELECTRIC MODULE CAN BE INSTALLED ONLY ON THE MACHINE
AIR OUTLET
The overall dimensions are shown in figures 4a and 4b.
It is recommended to mount the EDEH module on the thermal ventilating unit
before installing the unit itself in place.
1.
Place the thermal ventilating unit in an upright position. Fasten the
L-shaped brackets on the two short sides of the air outlet, using the
4 holes provided (2 per side) and self-tapping screws (supplied in the
kit).
2.
After applying the 2 L-shaped brackets, which serve both as a guide
and support for the EDEH module, you can install the module itself;
make sure that the L-shaped brackets are both positioned inside the
rectangular outlet.

Apply the self-tapping screws (supplied in the kit) as shown in figure
(3): the screws on the short sides act on the L-shaped brackets, while
on the two long sides holes are provided for fastening the module
directly to the outlet of the thermal ventilating unit.
NOTE:
The electric module has holes like those on the machine air intake, on the
extremity turned toward the air outflow ducts.
Each thermal-ventilating unit requires a switch (IL) on the feeder line with a
distance of at least 3 mm between the opening contacts, and a suitable safety
fuse (F).
I) Open the electric box by loosening the 4 self-tapping screws on the front
of the cover.
II) Connect the electric wires, using the wire clamps provided, both for the power
supply line and the wire connecting to the control on the wall.
Important: The controls provided are FWEC1A, FWEC2A, FWEC3A and FWCSA
which incorporates all the necessary functions for managing the thermal
ventilating unit, the heating elements (and the on-off valves on the water
side, where present).
NOTE: the control guarantees the complete safety of the EDEH module,
thanks to the POST-VENTILATION function, which keeps the fan running
for 2 minutes after the heating elements have been switched off because
the set temperature point has been reached. This feature serves to prevent
dangerous overheating which may be caused by the thermal inertia of the
heating elements themselves.
Galletti S.p.A. will not be liable for any faults or damage caused by improper
use of the EDEH module and/or an inadequate control panel.
If the module is applied on thermal ventilating units with plumbing
connections on the right (i.e. with the electric box on the right) it will be
necessary to change the position of the bulb of the manual-reset safety
thermostat.
As noted above in item (C), if the electric module is installed in a position opposite
to the factory configuration, it will be necessary to move the thermostat bulb
into the position shown in figure (2); care must be taken to fasten it securely
with clamps, using the holes provided for this purpose.
In case of vertical installation, the safety thermostat bulb must be secured
to the wires of the automatic-reset safety thermostat (see fig 1 B) using
the clamps provided in the kit.
Warning: the control panel must be mounted on the wall in an easily accessible
position allowing the user to set the functions while ensuring an accurate
reading of the ambient temperature. Therefore, avoid:
- positions directly exposed to sunlight;
- positions exposed to direct currents of warm or cold air;
- placing obstacles that impede an accurate temperature reading (drapes or
furniture);
- constant presence of steam
- covering the panel or building it into the wall.
The minimum gauges of the power cables will depend on the electrical
inputs specified in table 1, in compliance with current regulations.
To guarantee the efficiency of a thermal ventilating unit fitted with
a supplementary RE heating element module, comply with the
following directions:
- keep the air filter clean;
- do not pour liquids inside the equipment;
- make absolutely sure you do not obstruct the air outlet or inlet
of the thermal ventilating unit;
