1.1 Usage
The SmartAir is suitable for use in the controlled ventilation of residential buildings
(houses, apartments, hotels, public buildings and offices). It can be installed either in new
buildings or in existing buildings undergoing refurbishment and/or modernisation. SmartAir
usage is authorised solely in accordance with the described use cases and only in
association with components recommended by AiolosAir and listed in this document.
Other SmartAir usages are not permitted. The system is unsuitable for extracting smoke or
drying buildings, for rooms containing aggressive and/or caustic gases or extreme levels
of dust.
To guarantee the fault-free and safe use of the system, it is vital to ensure appropriate
trans -port and storage, professional planning and installation, as well as proper operation
and maintenance. Modifications and reconfigurations of the unit / system are not
permitted. Before starting installation, the project needs to have been planned properly,
detailing the number and positioning of the ventilation units and their associated controls,
and the ven -tilation principle applied (cross-ventilation, single room ventilation, air
extraction).
During planning, installation and operation, all relevant requirements, building and fire
protection regulations and accident prevention regulations are to be complied with. In the
planning phase, details need to be checked with the respective chimney sweep or
ventilation expert.

2 System overview
The SmartAir consists of airflow-optimised covers for inside (1) and outside (2), a filter
unit (3), a fan unit (4), a heat exchanger unit (5) and an mounting tube (6). The SmartAir
is
always installed in an outside wall. The mounting tube into which the fan and heat exch-
anger units are inserted is sealed inside the wall. The inside and outside covers can be
inserted without tools. They constitute the finishing elements of the system and ensure
optimal airflow, thereby guaranteeing more efficient ventilation.
2.1 Functioning
Wherever possible, SmartAir should be operated in pairs, i.e. with one unit blowing in fresh
air and the other expelling spent air. The units change direction concurrently after 50 - 70
seconds (depending on the selected fan speed). This allows a room to be properly aired,
balancing air inflow and outflow in accordance with DIN 1946-6. The integrated heat exch-
anger extracts and stores heat from the exhaust air. When the direction changes and
fresh air is sucked in, it is warmed by flowing over the heat exchanger. The heat recovery
rate can reach >90%.

7 EN
Example of optimal ventilation
TO ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION THROUGHOUT A BUILDING (I.E. NOT JUST IN
ONE ROOM) IT IS IMPORTANT TO FORESEE FURTHER SUITABLE VENTILATION
VENTS, FOR INSTANCE SPACE UNDER DOORS (CA. 15 - 20 MM) OR THE USE OF
VENTILATION GRILLES.
Example for wet rooms
GENERALLY SPEAKING, WET ROOMS REQUIRE (1) TWO UNITS TO BE INSTALLED,
AND (2) PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN THAT WET ROOM AIR DOES NOT MIX WITH
THE AIR OF OTHER ROOMS. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR WET ROOMS
WITH NO OUTSIDE WALL.

4 Electrical installation
SmartAir units can only be operated in conjunction with a control unit, purchasable separately.
Up to four SmartAirunits can be connected to one control unit. Where more than four SmartAir
units are needed, additional independent groups managed by further control units will
be needed. The control unit can be installed anywhere. 3-pole cables (preferably LiYY
cables with cross-sections between 0,25mm² and 0,75mm²) are required. To ensure adequate
power, the cable length between the control unit and fan unit must not exceed 100 m.
Example of the wiring of four SmartAir
4.1 Installation recommendations for the control unit
Install the control unit at standard wall height (105 cm distance to floor) in a deep pattress
box. The power supply unit can also be installed in the box. The frame must be correctly
positioned in the pattress box to allow the control panel to be clicked in. Please make sure
that the bottom side of the control panel is unobstructed and that the opening for the
humidity sensor is not blocked.
THE INSTALLATION IS TO BE DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE 12V OUTPUT
CABLE AND THE 230V INPUT CABLE ARE NOT ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE POWER
SUPPLY (INSTALL THE 230 V CABLE UNDERNEATH).
Instead of a power supply unit in a pattress box, a DIN rail power supply may be used.
However, such a power supply requires a further cable duct for the cable to the fuse box.

4.2 Cabling and wiring
All electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician. Make sure that all wiring
is done correctly.
The starting direction of the fan is defined by the connector on the PCB (IN = Start direction
supply air, OUT = Start direction exhaust air). The starting direction is also used in full-blast
mode. To connect the control unit to the fan units, a 3-pin plug must be connected to the
cable. The plug must be wired as shown below.

5 Installation
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE
INSTALLATION.
5.1 Making the hole in the wall
DEPENDING ON HOW THE UNIT IS TO BE INSTALLED PLEASE FOLLOW EITHER THE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF AN PREFABRICATED INSTALLATION BLOCK OR
FOR CORE-DRILLING A HOLE THROUGH THE WALL.
5.1.1 Use of a prefabricated installation block
Insert the pre-fabricated Neopor® installation block into the wall, following the instructions
for its installation. The hole must point downwards to the outside to allow any condensate
to drain off. Cut off any protruding material so that the block is flush with the wall.

15 EN
5.1.2 Use of a core-drilled hole
Drill a hole in the wall using a core drill and a 162 - 180 mm bit. The hole must have a gradient
of 1 – 3°, allowing any condensate to flow outwards. It is best to drill the hole from inside
to outside.
WHEN CORE DRILLING, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE
PROTECTION FROM FALLING MASONRY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING,
ENSURING THAT NO PERSON OR MATERIAL WILL BE HARMED/DAMAGED.
Inside Outside
1 - 3°

EN 16
5.2 Inserting the mounting tube
WHEN USING A SPECIAL SOLUTION, PLEASE REFER TO ITS SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS.
Measure the thickness of the wall. Should any plastering still need to be done, allow for
plaster thickness when shortening the mounting tube. Shorten the mounting tube using
a sabre saw in such a way that the mounting tube ends are flush with both inside and outside
walls. In the inside-facing side of the mounting tube, cut a 10 mm wide and 30 mm
long slit (1). This will be used later to accommodate the BUS cable to the fan unit. When
using thicker cables, the slit will need to be wider.
Coat the outside of the mounting tube with the sealant or foam (2) and insert it into the hole (3).
Pay attention to how long the sealant/ foam needs to dry. Proceed to the next step.
MAKE SURE THAT THE MOUNTING TUBE IS FIXED AND SEALED AT THE
OUTSIDE WALL BEFORE YOU CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP.
WHEN USING A METAL HOOD ON THE OUTSIDE WALL, THE MOUNTING TUBE
MUST NOT BE FLUSH WITH THE OUTSIDE WALL, BUT MUST PROTRUDE CA. 5 MM.
INSERT THE PLASTERING COVERS INTO THE MOUNTING TUBE. ONLY CONTINUE
INSTALLATION WORK ONCE ALL BUILDING WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

17 EN
5.3 Cabling
THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE IN THE MOUNTING TUBE IS DEPENDENT ON
STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS. MAKE SURE THAT THE FAN UNIT CAN BE
EASILY CONNECTED UP AND THAT THE CABLE DOES NOT UNNECESSARILY
BLOCK THE AIRFLOW.
Use slits in the wall or cable ducts to lead the cables to the hole in the wall. Make sure
that the length of the cable in the mounting tube corresponds to the thickness of the wall
minus 150 mm. Wire the plug for connecting up the fan unit (see Electrical installation).
Should cables with a diameter > 6.1 mm be used, the top layer of insulation will need to be
removed to prevent problems with the further installation.
5.4 Installation of the outside cover
Once all work on the building‘s facade has been finished, the outside cover can be
installed. Remove the plastering cover and insert the outside cover into the mounting
tube. When inserting it, make sure that the air vent points downwards and sits tight.
Due to the special mounting slats, the outside cover can be installed without any tools
and sits tight in the mounting tube.

EN 18
When using an outside grille, make sure that the grille is properly positioned with the
curved slats pointing downwards. Before doing this, the stopper (part of the set) must
be glued to the outward-facing upper edge on the inside of the mounting tube, where
it acts as a stopper for the heat exchanger unit. Then screw (screws at the side) the
outside grille to the mounting tube.
SHOULD YOU BE USING AN OUTSIDE HOOD INSTEAD OF A GRILLE,
PLEASE REFER TO ITS SEPARATE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
5.5 Positioning of the fan and heat exchanger unit
Once all work has been finished on the inside walls and the outside grille or hood has been
installed, the fan and heat exchanger units can be installed. Start by connecting the two
units. This is done by sliding the fan unit over the front end of the heat exchanger unit.
Then insert the two into the mounting tube (2), with the insect filter facing outwards. Push
the unit carefully into the mounting tube until it touches the outside cover.
THE STRAP MUST POINT INWARDS (TOWARDS THE ROOM), ALLOWING
THE HEAT EXCHANGER TO BE REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE.

19 EN
5.6 Inserting the inside cover
Once all work inside the building has been completed, the inside cover can be installed.
Place the filter unit in the slots for the filter inside the cover. Insert t he cover into the
mounting tube, making sure that the air vent points upwards and that the cover sits tightly.
THE UNITS MUST HAVE A FILTER INSERTED BEFORE BEING TURNED
ON FOR THE FIRST TIME.

EN 20
6 Operating the system
6.1 SmartAir
The inside cover can be shut, should you not use the system over a longer period or should
you want to prevent smoke for instance entering the room.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WHEN THE INSIDE COVER IS SHUT!
6.1.1 Shutting the inside cover
Step 1: Pull the inside cover out of the
mounting tube. Step 2: Use the flap attached t o the inside of the cover.
Step 3: Press the fl ap i nto the fl exible f oam
until it sits tightly. Step 4: Reinsert the inside cover into the mounting tube.
