General introduction

Before installing and commissioning the Aura 14, 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 if the
product's motor has been opened 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.
If the product is part of a climate control system, the oxygen levels in the areas being controlled must
always be maintained under all circumstances - even in emergency situations. We advise you to use an
emergency system (emergency power supply unit, emergency opening systems, option for manual
operation) to guarantee the oxygen levels. This system must be regularly tested for proper functioning.
The control computer is a piece of electronic apparatus. There is always a risk of a malfunction
occurring. Fancom has made every effort to ensure that an alarm is given in the event of an emergency.
Unfortunately, a 100% guaranteed cannot be provided as not all circumstances are under Fancom
control. Fancom cannot be held liable for any damage caused by incorrect settings and/or non or partial
functioning of the entire installation. Ask your installer if the alarm outputs of each control computer
have been connected to a separate alarm circuit.
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.

one section. The Aura 14 can be used with various ventilation systems:
ProFlow
NatuFlow
EasyFlow
CentralFlow
Triac control with or without vortex damper
Analog control with or without vortex damper
Air inlet control
Activating fans (combi-control)

This chapter describes the main parts and the operation of the Aura 14.
The Aura 14 can be operated on the touch screen.
1. Touch screen
The Aura 14 screens are divided in three sections:
1. Title bar: Displays the name of the selected screen (e.g. Overview), the actual day number (based on the
curve), the date and time and provides access to right fly-over menu (installation and user menu).
2. Working area: Displays the data of user or installation settings of the control computer.
3. Menu selection and alarm bar: Provides buttons to navigate through available menus (e.g. curve) and an
alarm indicator to navigate to more details.

With daily management you can set the temperature and ventilation settings manually. If a curve is used, the daily
management overwrites the settings temporary.
The left dial displays the actual temperature. The right dial displays the actual ventilation. In both dials the actual
control value is displayed as a red marker. The highlighted green area displays the lower boundary comfort zone
(related to setpoint heating) and the upper boundary comfort zone (related to max diff alarm). The actual status
will light up:
: Heating active
: Thermal control (used as cooling)
: Number of additional fans in use
Use the dials as follows:
1. Tap the dial you want to set. A pop up of the dial appears:
2. Set the value by tapping :
Tap to increase or decrease the value step by step.
Hold the to quickly increase or decrease the value.
3. Tap to confirm or to cancel all the settings in the popup window.
