1.1 Description Wireless Controller with humidity sensor
Intended and unintended use
This manual is about the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor (See C in image below).
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor should only be used in combination with products that have been
approved by Brink Climate Systems B.V.
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor can only be used with a HRU appliance which is equipped with a
USB connection! The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor is a wireless remote control to operate your
ventilation system. This remote control also displays when the filter(s) needs to be replaced/ cleaned or when the
ventilation system is malfunctioning. Brink supplies a range of wireless remote controls/sensors that make
contact with a heat recovery unit by means of a USB transceiver. This range consists of the 5 following types of
wireless controls/ sensors:

Wireless Controller A.
B. Wireless Controller with B.

connection (for example
HRU appliance type Flair)
Wireless Controller with humidity sensor 616880-B Brink / 3

The connected ventilation unit is operated by pressing one of the buttons on the Wireless Controller with humidity
sensor with your finger.
For explanation of the buttons of the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor see ®Overview operational
controls page 7.
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor must always be used with a transceiver on the HRU appliance; a
combination of multiple remote controllers on 1 USB transceiver is possible.
In total, a maximum combination of 12 controllers /sensors can be connected to 1 transceiver (Max. 4
controllers / max. 4 CO2-sensors and max 4 humidity sensors).
Note: A controller with a build in CO2- sensor is seen as an CO2-sensor and a controller with a build-in humidity
sensor will be seen as an humidity sensor.
When one or more sensors are connected to the HRU appliance, it will ventilate according to the set conditions of
the connected sensor(s).
If multiple controllers /sensors are used, the controller / sensor that requests the highest ventilation level always
has priority.
Boost function ( ):
The boost function can be canceled at any time by pressing another button of the Wireless Controller with
humidity sensor. When the boost button is pressed again during use of the boost function, the timer is reset and
the connected ventilation device will run on ventilation level 3 again for 30 minutes. For position "Boost button"
see ®Overview operational controls page 7.
The air flowquantities associated with the ventilation settings must always be set on the connected appliance
and cannot be adjusted on the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor. For ventilation settings, see the
installation manual of the relevant connected HRU appliance.

3 Assembly
3.1 Mounting Wireless Controller with humidity sensor on the wall
You should perform the step1 to step 4 to assemble the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor.
An example of a wireless controller is shown in this section, but other wireless controllers/sensors are
assembled in the same way.
Step 1
The wall bracket can be attached to a flush mount electrical box (Ø 55 mm) or can be directly mounted on
the wall with supplied double sided adhesive tape. Mounting on a electrical box is only necessary when a
permanent power supply (option) is used. The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor should be placed at a
height of approximately 1.65 meters above the floor.
▪Screw or glue the wall bracket onto the wall in the▪
correct position.
Take note!
The up arrow on the wall bracket must point
upwards!

5.2 RH-sensor general
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor(s) ensure optimum ventilation in the dwelling by automatically
adjusting the air flow rate on the basis of the humidity content. The air flow rate is determined by the humidity
sensor that requests the highest level.
Depending on the sensitivity of the humidity sensor, the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor adjusts the air
flow proportionally between the setting 1 (set low) and setting 3 (set high). The settings made in the menu of the
connected appliance applies to all connected humidity sensors.

6 Maintenance
6.1 General maintenance
Careful!
Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
Never apply water and/or (cleaning) liquid to the screen.
6.2 Replace battery
Replace battery
If there is no response to the operation of the buttons and the LED no
longer lights up if buttons are operated, the battery voltage is too low.
(Not applicable if the optional 230 volt power supply interface is used.)
Replace battery with correct type CR2032.MRF battery manufacturer
Renata (or Panasonic CR-2032/BS ).
Pay attention to the position of the battery! The text marked "+" must
always be legible after inserting the battery.
For replacing battery take Wireless Controller with humidity sensor
from the wall bracket (see ®Remove Wireless Controller with
humidity sensor from wall bracket page 10).
