Task and function
The ventilation system is used to aerate and ventilate frost-free rooms. It can
be used in private areas (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, showers,
bathrooms, storage rooms) or semi-public areas (offices, hotel rooms, daycare
centres, nursing homes).
Used, warm room air is extracted as exhaust air and discharged to the outside
as outgoing air. At the same time, fresh outside air is drawn in and introduced
into the rooms as filtered supply air.
The ventilation system can be assembled horizontally or vertically on the
window in the ventilation profile. Horizontal installation can only be carried out
above the window.
The ventilation system has a position sensor. The position sensor detects
when the ventilation system is not in the correct position in the ventilation
profile. In this case, it blocks operation of the ventilation system.
The ventilation system has the following operating modes:
•Manual mode
•Standby mode
•Automatic mode.
In automatic mode, the speed of the fans is controlled according to the
humidity. In manual mode, the speed of the fans is controlled according to the
set power level.
The ventilation system can be operated using the built-in button. The
ventilation system can also be equipped and controlled with an external button
as an option. The external button is operated in the exact same way as the
built-in button.
