The ECA-DR spacing frame from Maico is a specially developed accessory for small room ventilators of the ECA 100 ipro group. It serves as a spacer to enable the mounting of ventilators on walls or ceilings, particularly when surface installation of connection cables is required. Using the frame ensures a clean and orderly installation without the device protruding beyond the surface. This is especially advantageous for installations in flat duct angle pieces, where a flat seating of the ventilator is necessary to avoid interfering with the duct geometry. The frame is not intended for mounting on windows or laminated glass, as these materials do not provide the required load-bearing capacity or mounting options.

Spacing frame
The ECA-DR is made of plastic and is finished in traffic white, similar to RAL 9016. This color ensures unobtrusive integration into typical interior designs. The frame dimensions are 153 mm in width, 153 mm in height, and 75 mm in depth, ensuring a compact and precise fit for ECA 100 ipro models. The frame weighs 0.34 kg, allowing for easy handling and installation. The installation orientation is designed for wall and ceiling mounting, enabling flexible installation in various rooms.

Functions and equipment in detail
The spacing frame allows for surface installation of connection cables, which is particularly useful when installing in existing buildings or during renovations. Cables can be routed directly using the surface method, without requiring additional conduits or penetrations. Installation is carried out using designated mounting points, and the delivery includes three spacing frames, four wood screws with a length of 100 mm, four anchors, and three screws for securing the ventilator. An installation manual is also included to ensure correct and safe installation.

Technology explained simply
The frame acts as a mechanical spacer, positioning the ventilator away from the building surface (wall or ceiling) to enable secure and stable mounting. The use of plastic provides sufficient strength while keeping weight low. The traffic white finish ensures visual harmony with most interior designs. The dimensions are precisely matched to ECA 100 ipro models to ensure a secure fit and a clean aesthetic appearance.

Compatibility and accessories
The ECA-DR is designed exclusively for small room ventilators in the ECA 100 ipro group. It is not suitable for other ventilator models or groups. Installation is direct to wall or ceiling surfaces, with mounting materials (wood screws, anchors, ventilator screws) included in the delivery. The installation manual supports the installer in correct mounting and wiring.

Installation and mounting
Installation involves securing the spacing frame to the wall or ceiling using the included wood screws and anchors. The small room ventilator is then mounted onto the frame using the designated screws. Cable routing is done via surface installation, with cables connected directly to the frame’s connection points. The installation manual provides step-by-step instructions to avoid errors and ensure a safe installation.

Operational advantages
Using the ECA-DR enables a clean, orderly, and aesthetically pleasing installation of small room ventilators. Surface cable routing reduces the need for deep installation or additional conduits, shortening installation time and reducing labor costs. Flat mounting in flat duct angle pieces allows optimal use of the duct cross-section and prevents airflow disturbances. The use of plastic ensures a durable and maintenance-free construction.
