SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General information
The MS management system offers advanced fan control features. MS management system requires a specific
configuration of the fan electronic driving box. This configuration can be modified to standard mode (without speed
control = ST mode) by simply moving a jumper on the electronic driving box (please refer to the technical file of the
fan for more information).
MS management system is composed of:
1 circuit-breaker 230 VAC - 2A
1 supply 230 VAC - 5 V DC
1 relay for alarm switching
1 Main module to manage from 1 up to 25 fans
1 Fan module per fan
1 or 2 digital temperature sensors (+ possibility of wind gauge or clock)
These components can be placed in an IP65 electric box (if outside) not included, and clipped on DIN rail. They
are interconnected through RJ11 wires (supplied) of about 25 cm
1
. The connection of Fan modules to the fans is
realised by the mean of four wires standard cable.
Functions of MS management system
Manages the simultaneous operation of inter-connected fans.
Manages powers and operating speeds.
Manages the hybrid operation according to the information received from the connected sensors
(temperature and / or [clock or wind]).
Reports locally defaults.
Returns default information on distant indicator that can be used in particular in the context of BMS.

This length allows to comply with the CEM and to limit the lost tension. It allows also to connect 2 modules located
on two appended DIN rail.

Specific components
MS management system has 3 specific components, available exclusively at Aereco or its resellers. Other system
components (circuit breaker, power, etc...) can be bought on the market as long as they respect the technical
features mentioned in this document.

Specific functions of each system component
Main module (MAIN) ref. VB21119
Allows to define groups with specific numbers of fans (1 to 5 fans per group, 1 to 5 groups per Main
module).
Interprets the 'probe' input and communicates the speed range for each Fan module.
Stops the fans of the same group in case of failure of one fan.
Can communicate the overall working of the system (correct operation or failure) with an output for working
indicator.
Can communicate the detailed operation of the system (current range of temperature for example).
Fan module (FAN) ref. VB21118
Identifies the fan to assign to a group
Determines its base speed according to the characteristics of the building (table provided)
Sends the signal (PWM ) for the fan speed control
Gets information of the fan operation (Motor speed rotation)
Communicates the fan operation (correct operation or failure) to the Main module
Digital temperature sensor ref. AVE1146XX
The digital temperature probe communicates the outside temperature to the Main module. This information is
exploited to manage the operation modes of the fans. The Main module supports several levels of operation
according to the information received from the temperature probe, so as to adapt the speed of the fans.
Available speeds are shown on page 5.
Example of a setting adjusting the fan speed according to temperature:
Instead or in addition of the temperature sensor, it is possible to connect the following inputs, available on the
market, respecting the technical features mentioned in this document.

Operation of the management system with wind gauge
A specific wind gauge / anemometer may also be used to supplement or replace the temperature sensor. A
switching wind speed “Vb” can be defined:
If [wind speed < Vb] then operation according to the temperature (if sensor) or maximal speed setting (if
no temperature sensor).
If [wind speed ≥ Vb] then minimum speed (= “natural ventilation” mode).
Operation of the management system with clock
A clock can also be used to supplement or replace the temperature sensor. One or several time period for boost
airflow can then be defined and addressed:
During the “boost airflow” period: Maximum speed of the setting.
Out of “boost airflow” periods: Operation according to the temperature (if sensor) or minimum speed (=
“natural ventilation” mode).

INSTALLATION & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The installation and electrical connections must be carried out by a professional in
compliance with applicable regulations in force in the country of installation.
General electrical connections
The following components are designed to be installed in a modular electric box unit DIN rail.
The electric box must be minimum IP65 if it is located outside.
RJ11 cables are supplied with the Fan module (FAN) and must connect only one 'R' output to one 'L' input.
Reminder: a Main module (MAIN) can manage from 1 to 5 groups of 1 to 5 fans. A maximum of 25 Fan modules
can therefore be connected to the Main module, the last 'R' output remaining without any connection
Terminal 11-14 : Output “NO”(normally open before setting off)
Terminal 11-12 : Output “NC”(normally closed before setting off)
The scheme next page is showing an overview of the system connections, as recommended by Aereco. Other
installation are possible; please check the compliance with your local regulation.

Sensor(s) electrical connections
There are 5 possible configurations requiring a specific wiring:
Temperature sensor only
Wind gauge only
Clock only
Temperature sensor + wind gauge
Temperature sensor + clock
The temperature sensor has a standard length of 300 mm. It is possible to shift it by addition of a cable according
to the following characteristics:
The cable is a 3 wire cable, in compliance with applicable regulations in force:
1,5 mm² minimum cross sectional area for each wire,
10 m maximum length,
Ambient condition resistant (including UV resistance)
The cable must not include driver colour "yellow / green", colour used for ground only.
The power in the cables does not exceed 20 mA.

Fan(s) connection
This operation describes how to connect a fan to its modules; it has to be done for each fan connected to the
control unit.
The cable is a 4 wire cable between Ø6 and Ø12 mm diameter in compliance with applicable regulations
in force: 1,5 mm² minimum cross sectional area for each wire, 25 m maximum length between the fan and
its fan module, ambient condition resistant (including UV resistance).
The power in the cables does not exceed 20 mA.
The cable must not include driver colour "yellow /
green", colour used for ground only.
1) Identify and match each fan with its Fan
module
Each fan must have a number for easy installation and
maintenance:
Note a number on the label of the fan and copy it
on the label of the corresponding module (insert "
N. ").
Identify both cable endings using the same
number.

2) Connect each fan (electronic driving box of the fan - see installation instructions of the fan) to its
module respecting the terminals (observe the colour code):
Fan module terminal '1 ' on terminal '1' of the fan
Fan module terminal '2 ' on terminal '2' of the fan
Fan module terminal '3 ' on terminal '3' of the fan
Fan module terminal '4 ' on terminal '4' of the fan
3) Check that the jumper pin located at the top right of the electronic
driving box of the fan is on pins '1 '& '2' "MS mode".

START-UP
Before starting, check the mounting of the fans on their chimney and the non-obstruction of the
duct (any object inside would cause a stress on the turbine)
Do not insert anything through them
Never turn on the fans if the electronic driving box is open
All the following operations must only be carried out once the electrical box is completely finished
(all the electrical connections must be completed)
Setting
Before starting, it is necessary to identify each fan group and to set each fan (that is to say, define its
operating speeds).
As a reminder, usually a fan group corresponds to a stack of dwellings.
1) Identify each fan that you want to group together and note the
group number in the insert "Gr" on each corresponding Fan module.
Important: a maximum of 5 groups are possible having each a
maximum of 5 fans.
