3. Putting the wireless remote control into operation
3.1 Installation of the antenna (profi-air180flat only)
In order to ensure reliable communication between the ventilation unit and the wireless remote control, the included antenna
must be installed in profi-air180 flat. This requires the following steps:
Step Procedure
1Disconnect the power supply of the ventilation unit.
2Remove the housing cover of the ventilation unit.
3
Screw the antenna to the connection coupling of the control board and turn it.
For the position of the connection coupling, see the profi-air180flat installation and operating instructions.
4Re-install the housing cover of the ventilation unit.
3.2 Synchronisation
The remote control and the ventilation unit must be synchronised in order to be able to communicate.
This requires the following steps:
Step Procedure
1Disconnect the power supply of the ventilation unit.
2Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and insert the included batteries 2 x 1.5V AAA).
3If you want to establish permanent power supply, connect the included USB cable. The port for the mini USB connector is on
the back of the wireless remote control under the battery cover.
4Re-connect the power supply of the ventilation unit. Within the next 60 seconds, the wireless remote control and the
ventilation unit try to establish a connection after which the unit's data is displayed on the display.
If synchronisation does not work at the first attempt (error code E13), either the distance to the control
board of the ventilation unit is too large or the wireless remote control has been synchronised with
another ventilation unit before. You must reset the wireless remote control in this case. Push and hold
the “LEFT” button for approx. 10 seconds until all symbols on the display are flashing. The wireless
remote control can now be synchronised again.
3.3 Multiple wireless remote controls
Up to three wireless remote controls can be connected to a ventilation unit. All connected wireless remote controls are equal,
meaning that always the latest respective change is applied.

Symbol Description
Automatic mode (only with installed humidity sensor and/or VOC sensor)
The automatic mode regulates the airflow rate of the ventilation unit depending on the humidity level and/or air quality in the
building. A sensor in the extract air channel of the ventilation unit measures the humidity and/or air quality.
The automatic mode is activated if the symbol is shown on the display. The set ventilation mode is also displayed there.
We generally recommend operating the ventilation unit in automatic mode since this ensures constant
air exchange as required. The automatic mode additionally prevents the house from drying out espe-
cially during the winter.
Manual operation
In manual operation the user must set the ventilation mode himself/herself if the required air exchange in the house changes.
Weekly programme
The ventilation mode is controlled via the selected profile when a weekly programme is activated. The profile can be changed
as follows:
Step Description
1 Start the user menu by pushing the “CENTER” button.
2 Select the weekly programme menu item by pushing the “LEFT” or “RIGHT” buttons.
3 Push the “DOWN” button as soon as the weekly programme symbol starts flashing. Now, the selected weekly
programme, e.g., P1, flashes in the info line.
4 Select the weekly programme by pushing the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons.
5 Confirm this by pushing the “CENTER” button.
See Section 9 for a description of the dierent weekly programmes.
