Day or Night
Near the top right of the screen is a small Sun or Moon icon. There is an ability in the DVS® to make the system
behave dierently depending on the time of day or night.
Note: Typically, this is not needed as the system will self-adjust to the changes in day and night temperature, humidity
and CO2levels if needed. If you would like to nd out more about this setting please call us on 0800 387 387.
Moving arrows
The black broken lines and arrows will appear to move when the system fans are rotating.
Note: if it they are not moving the system has stopped the fans. This could be for a number of control logic reasons and
is nothing to be concerned about.

How to adjust or check on the operation of
your DVS®
Note: The system is programmed at the time of installation
according to the size of your home.
Most Customers nd they don’t need to make any
adjustments to their system. The system costs very little
to run and is programmed to give optimal ventilation
performance for your home whilst being as unobtrusive as
possible. However, if you need to make adjustments or to
check on what the system is doing, the instructions below
are a handy guide for you.
Turning the system ON or OFF
Touch the settings icon at the top right of the home
screen then – POWER OFF. The system is now OFF. To turn
the system ON – touch the screen. The system will re-start.
Help icon
Where applicable, the settings adjustment screens will
also contain a ?. If you touch that you will be given an
explanation of the nature of the settings and if applicable
the eect of adjusting them.
CO2levels
Note: The system is equipped with one CO2sensor. A plug-in device which pairs with your Connect control panel. If
the CO2control function is enabled (using the Settings menu) the system is programmed to increase the ventilation
rate when the CO2level rises above 1000ppm. For specic CO2level information see the graphs section of the
diagnostics menu. The system can be tted with up to 4 of these remote sensors. When more than one sensor is
tted the system calculates the average CO2concentration across the sensors.
Airow Control
Fan settings
Adjusting your fan settings increases or decreases the
level of ventilation or how aggressive your system is. Your
system has been programmed for your home. The DVS® will
typically perform well without the need to make fan settings
adjustments. However, you are of course able to make
adjustments.
Fan Speed programming adjustment
Touch settings icon then – SETTINGS > FAN SETTINGS >
FAN CONTROL – Slide the Fan Speed bar up (to the right) or
down (to the left) – OK > EXIT > EXIT
This setting changes the programmed fan speed for your
system. This setting adjusts how passively or aggressively
the system behaves.
Note: if you adjust the programmed fan setting up or down
and notice any reduction in the performance of the system,
you can revert back to the typical programming for your
home by adjusting the setting back to the half way point.

For further assistance please call DVS®on 0800 387 387 4
Humidity settings
For adjusting the sensitivity of the system to an air supply
which is more humid than the air inside the home. A higher
setting will mean the system reacts more quickly to a humid
air supply then remains o for a period of time and until
the air supply is dry enough to continue ventilating your
home. The DVS® technician sets this function when the
system is installed, however, this setting can be increased or
decreased.
Note: To prevent nuisance stopping and starting
(oversensitivity) the DVS® is programmed to allow some
minor higher air supply humidity readings before it will stop
ventilating. Please call DVS® on 0800 387 387 if you need
assistance and before you adjust these settings.
Humidity settings
Touch settings icon then – SETTINGS > HUMIDITY
CONTROL – Scroll the Humidity sensitivity or Humidity time
up or down to the level you wish - OK > EXIT
CO2Sensing & control
For enabling or disabling the CO2control function. The DVS®
technician enables this function and pairs the sensor(s)
when the system is installed, however, this function can be
Enabled (turned on) or Disabled (Turned o).
CO2Enable / Disable
Touch settings icon then – SETTINGS > CO2CONTROL
> ENABLE (touch the Enable/Disable slide switch icon to
change to Enable or Disable) - OK > EXIT
CO2Sensors
The DVS® Connect range has one remote plug in CO2sensor
as a standard inclusion. Extra sensors can be tted with a
maximum of four sensors per system. When multiple sensors
are tted the system uses the average CO2reading across
all sensors to activate a higher ventilation rate when the
average CO2concentration rises above 1000ppm.
Connecting CO2sensors to the system
Plug in the CO2sensor in your room of choice (typically a
living room or master bedroom, however any room which
is normally occupied and has a DVS® vent in it will be
ne). Press and hold the pairing button on the front of the
sensor until the green LED light, (this is only visible when
looking through the vent at the bottom of the sensor) is on
continuously. This takes 5 seconds. If the LED light is a little
dicult to see, just hold the button in and count 7 seconds.
This puts the CO2sensor in pairing mode, which lasts 60
seconds.
Then go to the DVS® controller:
a. Touch the settings icon then –
UTILITIES > MANAGE CO2 > ADD SENSOR
b. A box will show, which initially just says Connecting
c. When the CO2sensor has been found the box shows
Success, New CO2 Sensor added
d. Repeat for additional sensors (up to 4 can be
connected).
Once the sensor(s) has been added, press RESTART. The
preparation for connection is now made.
Note: After Restarting, the system will need approximately
20 minutes to establish proper connections and begin
accurate CO2level readings. A CO2level indicator will
appear on the home screen and detailed information will be
available in the diagnostics menu.
If you have more than one sensor, each will need to be
individually paired to the controller rather than pairing them
all at the same time. Select RESTART when all are connected.
WiFi connection and software upgrades
To check for upgrades or reconnect to your WiFi
Touch the WiFi icon then choose – WiFi Scan or Check
for upgrades (whichever is applicable) – then follow the
instructions.
Clock
To manually adjust the clock
Touch the clock numbers 11:20 then - SET DATE AND TIME >

Some guidance on optional feature settings
The system will give you the ability to control the
optional feature(s). These can include running the
feature for a short period of time as and when you
need to. This is called a Manual option. Alternatively,
you may wish to run the optional feature(s) at a set
time every day or night. This is called a Timer option.
If you select this control option, you will then be
asked to set up the timer appropriately.
There is also the ability to activate the optional
feature(s) using temperature as the activation
method. If you choose that option, you will then be
asked to set the temperature and so on. Of course,
you are also able to have a combination of both
temperature and time. All of these control settings
are programmable by you in the Control Screen.
Recommended settings for optional features
Tempervent Air Warmer
In Cooler months – ENABLE (touch the Enable/Disable slide
switch icon to change to Enable) > CONTROL: = Temp & Timer
(Set temp to 8oC) + Timer (ON 2100 / OFF 0700)
Note: The system fan speed will remain as programmed.
Note: This limits the time on and the air supply temperature
below which the feature will operate.
In Warmer months – OFF
Roof Space Solar Gain
In Cooler months - ON - Mode = Temp (18oC) + Timer (ON
1800 / OFF 2300) – Fan speed (High)
Note: This sets the roof space temperature above which the
feature will operate and limits the time period it will operate
in.
Additional Note: In the above example the solar gain
function will begin when the roof space is above 18°C but
only “IF” the house temperature is lower than 18°C.
In Warmer months - OFF
Auto Summer Vent Bypass
In Cooler Months - OFF
In Warmer Months - ON - Mode = Temp (suggested Temp
setting 18 to 21 degrees) - Fan Speed = (MAX)
Note: The Summer Vent Bypass feature operates on a
pre-set in-house temperature (measured at the control
panel). When the in house temperature exceeds the pre-set
temperature AND the air outside (measured by a remote
sensor located outside the home) is cooler than the air at
the control panel, the system will divert the incoming fresh
air around the heat exchanger to increase the volume of
fresher air being introduced.
Fan Speed setting
The Fan Speed setting you choose for the above optional
features is the fan speed the system will run at when the
optional feature(s) is activated.
Other settings
The recommended settings for optional features above have
proven to provide optimal operation for those features. You
can choose alternative modes of operation and settings
within the settings menus for each optional feature.
If system performance reduces, please revert to the
recommended settings or call us on 0800 387 387.

System Performance
Your DVS® will help to provide a healthier, drier living
environment.
Ventilation, heating (in cooler months) and cooling (in
warmer months) are all keys to providing a drier, healthier
and more comfortable living environment.
Winter (or cooler months)
Your DVS® is programmed to supply enough ventilation for
your home based on the size of your home. If the home is
now drier, you may wish to reduce the level of ventilation
using the Fan Speed adjustment. The ideal being to
have the minimum level of ventilation while retaining a
drier, healthier home. If the home is not yet drier, you can
increase the Fan Speed adjustment to ventilate at a higher
level.
Summer (or warmer months)
Experience has found increasing the Fan Speed setting to
higher levels provides better ventilation in warmer months.
Note: If you feel you have DVS® system performance
issues, turn the system o and call 0800 387 387 so that
we can assist with this issue.
Filter(s)
Maintenance of the equipment, including replacement of
the air lter(s) with genuine DVS® lter(s), is required to
