The Renovent Excellent 180 is also available as “Plus” version.
This version is equipped with a different control board with 2
additional connectors (X14 & X15) with more connection op-
tions for various applications.
The “Plus” version has a 9-pole connector which is connected
to X15 from the control board. This 9-pole connector is acces-
sible from the top of the Renovent Excellent 180.
The 2-pole connector X14 is accessible after sliding the control
board to the front from the appliance (see §9.2 item 1 - 5). An
additional gland is available at the top of the appliance in “Plus”
version>. That makes it possible to feed a 230 V cable, which
may be connected to connector X14, to outside the appliance.
Always use a gland with strain reliever.
See § 11.1 for more information on the connection possibilities
of connectors X14 and X15.
Chapter 4 Operation
4.3 Frost safety
To prevent freezing of the heat exchanger at extremely low
outdoor temperatures, the Renovent Excellent 180 features
frost control. Temperature sensors measure the temperatures
across the heat exchanger and, if an optional preheater is in-
stalled, it will be switched on when required.
That guarantees a proper ventilation balance, also at very low
outdoor temperatures. If, with switched on preheater, the ex-
changer temperature still starts to drop below zero, stepless
unbalance is created in the appliance.
4.3 Renovent Excellent Plus version
4.1 Description
The appliance comes plug and play and operates fully auto-
matically. The exhausted indoor air heats up the fresh, clean
outdoor air. That saves energy and fresh air is sent to the re-
quired rooms.
The control system has four ventilation modes.
Dependent on the connected multiple switch, 3 or 4 ventilation

4.2 Bypass function preconditions
Because of its compact design, the appliance is not equipped
with a bypass diffuser but it uses bypass functionality. Bypass
functionality means that the supply fan is switched off when the

Optimum performance of this system requires natural supply. It
is assumed that at very high indoor temperatures the user will

Bypass function preconditions
Bypass function active - The outdoor temperature is higher than 7°C and
- the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature in the dwelling and
- the temperature in the dwelling is higher than the temperature set at step no. 5 in the set-
tings menu (set a standard at 22°C)
Bypass function not active - The outdoor temperature is lower than 7°C or
- the outdoor temperature is higher than de indoor temperature in the dwelling or
- the temperature from the dwelling is higher than the temperature set at step no. 5 in the set-
tings menu minus the preset temperature at hysteresis (step no. 6); the factory setting for
this temperature is 20°C (22.0°C minus 2.0°C).

5.2 Placing the appliance
The Renovent Excellent can directly be mounted to the wall
using the suspension brackets supplied for that purpose. For a
vibration-free result the appliance must be mounted to a solid
wall with a minimum mass of 200 kg/m

here, additional insulation is not necessary.

Pay attention to crosstalk and installation noise, also for incor-
porated ducts. Design the duct with separate branches to the
diffusers to prevent crosstalk. If necessary, the supply ducts
must be insulated, for instance when they are installed outside
the insulated envelope.
Preferably use Brink incorporated ducts. These ducts have
been developed with a view to a low duct resistance.
A duct diameter of 125 mm is required for the Renovent Excel-
lent 180.
5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge
The condensate discharge line for the Renovent Excellent
is fed through the lower panel. The condensate must be dis-
charged through a drainpipe.
The condensate discharge comes separately with the appli-
ance and the installer must screw8VH37)(7HÀRQWDSHWR
obtain a leakproof connection. Maximum torque is 10 Nm. This
condensate discharge connection has an external connection
diameter of 20 mm.
The condensate discharge line can be glued to it, if necessary
using a square bend. The installer can glue the condensate
discharge in the desired position in the lower part of the ap-
pliance. The drain must discharge under the water level in the
U-trap. Before connecting the condensate discharge to the ap-
pliance, pour water into the U- or S-trap to create an air seal.

Chapter 5 Installation
5.5 Electric connections
5.5.2 Connecting the multiple switch
The multiple switch (not supplied with the appliance) is con-
nected to the modular connector type RJ12 (connected to X2
on the control board) that is placed at the top of the appliance.
Dependent on the type of multiple switch that is used, a plug
RJ11 or RJ12 can be connected to it.
 $SSOLFDWLRQRIDPXOWLSOHVZLWFKZLWK¿OWHU LQGLFDWLRQ LQ DOO
cases requires an RJ12 plug in combination with a 6-core
modular cable.

cases requires an RJ11 plug in combination with a 4-core
modular cable.
Refer to diagrams §11.2.1 to §11.2.4 for connection examples
multiple switch.
Other options include wireless remote control or a combination
of multiple switches.
The 4-way switch can also be used to activate a 30-minutes
boost mode by putting the switch to setting 3 for less than 2
seconds and directly turning it back to setting 1 or 2. The boost
mode can be reset by putting the switch to setting 3 for longer
than 2 seconds or by switching it to absence mode ( ).
5.5.1 Connecting the power plug
The appliance can be connected to an easily accessible,
earthed wall socket with the plug that is mounted to the ap-
pliance. The electric installation must comply with the require-
ments of your power company.
Make allowance for a 1000 W preheater/postheater that
may optionally be connected.
Warning
The fans and control board carry a high volt-
age. Always take the voltage from the appli-
ance by pulling the power plug when working
on the appliance.
5.5.3 Connecting the eBus connector
The Renovent Excellent uses the eBus protocol. The 2-pole -
detachable - screw connector for the eBus connection is at the
top of the appliance.
The eBus protocol may for instance be used to connect (the
cascade control of) appliances (see §11.3). Because of polarity
sensitivity, always connect contacts X1-1 to X1-1 and contacts
X1-2 to X1-2; the appliance will not work when these contacts
are interchanged!
