External electrical pre-heating element
If your unit is not the Polar version with an integrated pre-heating element, you can purchase and
retrofit an external electrical pre-heating element.
Install the electrical pre-heating element together with the required temperature sensor in the
outdoor air duct before the unit.

In order to achieve effective regulation, it is important that the temperature sensor is placed at least
32 cm from the pre-heating element.
The pre-heating element has a three-step safety system that prevents overheating.
1. An operating thermostat regulates the heating and ensures that the supply air temperature does
not fall below -1 °C
2. There is a max. thermostat, which shuts down the preheating element if the temperature rises
above 50 °C (For vertical mounting with airflow downwards, the preheating surface will switch off
at 70 ° C).
3. A safety thermostat switches off the pre-heating element if the temperature exceeds 100 °C.
Then, you must reset it manually.
4. Minimum air volume at Ø160. 110 m3/h
ATTENTION
The heating element must be insulated with a fire retardant insulation material. The cover of
the connection box, however, must not be insulated.
