General introduction

Before installing and commissioning the Aura 37, read the safety instructions, provisions and conditions carefully.
This paragraph contains a number of general safety instructions. The installation of the device and remedying of
any malfunctions should be performed by a certified electrical installer according to the applicable norms. The
guarantee does not apply if this product is installed in any other way than is indicated by Fancom and changes
have been made to the product.
Disconnect power before installation or before carrying out any maintenance to the control computer.
You must be able to switch off the device using a bipolar main switch.
Take precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working on the control computer. Ensure
the workplace is clean and dry.
Use the wiring/cables indicated on the connection diagrams and follow all. Only apply power after the
wiring has been connected correctly. Incorrect connections can cause permanent damage. Before a
new fuse is placed, the cause of the defect should be remedied by an authorized installer. Only replace
a defective fuse by a fuse of the same type (see connection diagram).
Inspect the control computer regularly for any damage. Report any damage to your installer
immediately. A damaged control computer is dangerous! Do not use running water (high pressure
cleaners) to clean your control computer. The control computer is water resistant, but not waterproof!
Do not switch off the computer when houses are unoccupied; otherwise there is the risk of
condensation in the computer.
The installation, of which this product is a part, must be equipped with a reliable, independent alarm
system, for example, a minimum/maximum thermostat. We advise you to test the alarm system every
day for proper functioning.
Connect each Fancom device according to the applicable legislation/regulations of the local energy
provider.
Check that the mains voltage and frequency, for which this computer is suitable, correspond to the
mains voltage and frequency on site.
Low-voltage and high-voltage wires may not be placed parallel to each other but may cross each other.
When using metal ducts, Fancom advises grounding the ducts at the ends and at as many other places
as possible.
Connect the computers to one group, from the main distributor.
Keep signal and power cables as short as possible.

Ventilation influenced on relative humidity
Ventilation settable using a combi control matrix
Ventilation fan control using analog output
Ventilation sidewall and tunnel inlet using analog output
Ventilation settings in %
Ventilation linear or modulation control
Ventilation by adding eight additional fan outputs
Temperature measurement for two house sensors
Temperature measurement for outside sensor
Relative humidity measurement
Curve settings on day number for set temperature, set relative humidity, min vent and max vent
Heating output for one heater
Cool output for one cooling
Humidification output
Registration of water, feed and one auxiliary registration
Limited history of water, feed and auxiliary registration
Alarming on temperature, RH and power fail
