3 Electrical installation
The SmartFan home ventilation system can only be used in conjunction with a TOUCH or
LED control unit.
The SmartFan is controlled via a BUS system, meaning that all units can be connected to
the control unit individually or serially. The control unit can be installed anywhere within a
home‘s electrical system. BUS signals can travel a maximum distance of 1000 m. 4-pole
cables must be used. whereby LiYY cables are recommended.
The control base is equipped with two rows of ports. Each can be used to connect one
series of SmartFan units. Should several series need to be connected, the bottom (larger)
row of ports or screw terminals can be used.

10 SmartFan TOUCH/LED EN
The following table serves as a guide, showing the maximum length per segment (cable
length between two units) to ensure adequate supply voltage.
Cable diameter Segment length
0,25 mm² 40 m
0,5 mm² 70 m
0,75 mm² 100 m
One power supply can serve up to six units. Once you exceed six SmartFan units, you will
need to install a further power supply unit. Further power supply units may also be connec-
ted directly to the control unit. However, when distances are long, these should be installed
as far away as possible from the rst power supply. Care should be taking when doing the
wiring, as a false connection of the +42 V and earth cables can damage the power supply
units.
PLEASE NOTE: THE SMARTFAN FAN UNITS HAVE AN INTERNAL VOLTAGE
CONVERTER WHICH CONVERTS THE 42V INPUT VOLTAGE TO 12V.

EN SmartFan TOUCH/LED
3.1 Installation recommendations for the control unit
Install the control unit at standard wall height. Both the TOUCH and LED control units can
be installed using a pattress box. The power supply unit can also be installed in the box.
THE INSTALLATION IS TO BE DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE 42V
OUTPUT CABLE AND THE 230V INPUT CABLE ARE NOT ON THE SAME
SIDE OF THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT.
To avoid the use of a electronics box, you may also use a top hat rail terminal box. However,
this requires a further cable duct for the cable to the fuse box.

3.2 Cabling and wiring
All electrical work must be performed by a qualied electrician. Make sure that all wiring
is done correctly.

When connecting the control unit to the SmartFan unit, a 4-pole 3.50 mm straight plug
must be used. The plug must be wired as shown below. When connecting the plug to
the fan unit, the screws should point downwards. When continuing the cable to a further
SmartFan, the poles must match in all plugs.

3.3 Setting the DIP switch
SmartFan fan units are equipped with a DIP switch on the top. During installation, the
required zone and initial direction need to be set. Switches 1 - 3 are used to assign a unit
to one of the three zones available. Using this mechanism, individual SmartFan units can
be assigned to specic rooms and separately controlled via the TOUCH controls. Each
SmartFan unit can only belong to one zone.
The fourth DIP switch sets the SmartFan‘s initial direction, determining whether the unit
inputs air into a room at the beginning of a heat recovery interval (Switch 4 pointing down)
or expels air (Switch 4 up). When installing SmartFan units in pairs, the SmartFan units
must be assigned properly to achieve constant ventilation. Congure the units in such a
way that the same number of SmartFan units are assigned to each direction.
THOUGH THE LED CONTROL UNIT DOES NOT SUPPORT ZONE CONTROLS.
THE INITIAL DIRECTION OF THE FAN (SWITCH 4) MUST STILL BE SET.

4.1.3 Operating modes and functions
Eco-Mode
The system changes the airow direction once every 50 - 70 seconds, dependent
on the selected fan speed, thereby ensuring optimal heat recovery.
Full-blast mode
The system runs in just one direction, allowing a room to be thoroughly ventilated.
Heat recovery is not available in this mode. To change airow direction, press the
arrow of the large „full-blast mode“ icon on the main menu.
Sleep mode
The system stops working for 1-9 hours, giving a room‘s occupants sufcient time to
(get to) sleep. Sleep mode duration can be changed via the large „Sleep mode“ icon
on the main menu. Once the selected duration is over, the system will continue in the
previously activated mode.
Summer mode
When operating in summer mode, the eco-mode is active from 7:00 to 21:00,
keeping the cooler air inside the room. From 21:00 to 7:00 the system automatically
switches to full-blast mode in order to pump cooler air from outside into the room.
By touching the summer mode icon in the main menu, you can vary the start and
end time for the eco mode by up to 3 hours.
Party mode
In this mode, the room is ventilated at top fan speed, ensuring a maximum of fresh
air when the room is full of people.
Power mode
In power mode, the system runs for at least 15 minutes and up to 5 hours at top
fan speed in heat recovery mode. To adjust the duration, press the „Power mode“
icon on the main menu.
Automatic mode
Automatic mode is available when a fan unit is equipped with a sensor. Using this
mode, the system automatically adjusts to a room‘s temperature and humidity
levels.

19
EN SmartFan TOUCH/LED
Time mode
Using the timer mode, three time periods 22:00 – 08:00, 08:00 – 16:00 and
16:00 – 22:00) can be individually programmed for each day of the week,
allowing the system to operate to your needs.
Holiday mode
The system automatically selects fan speed 1 (humidity control), allowing
your home to be optimally ventilated without using much energy. This ensures
sufcient ventilation at times when the rooms are unoccupied.
Filter status
Displays the current lter status. There are four levels: clean, somewhat dirty, very
dirty and totally clogged up.
Zone information
Shows the rooms assigned to each group.
Time set
The system‘s internal clock can be set.
System information
Show‘s the control unit‘s software version, as well as the system‘s ventilation
behaviour in all zones.
Initial settings
Resets the control unit to its initial settings.
Language selection
Changes the system‘s language.
Locking the control unit
The Lock icon is used to lock the TOUCH control unit. Through typing in a PIN, the
system goes into management mode, preventing deactivation of the system and
thereby protecting rooms against increased humidity.

4.1.4 Further functions
Filter change
An integrated meter is used to determine when a lter change is needed. This is calculated
on the basis of the airow volumes. When a lter needs to be changed, the lter status icon
on the main screen will start blinking. Once the lter has been changed, the lter status
menu is used to reset the meter.
THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR CHANGING A FILTER IS DEPENDENT ON LOCAL
CONDITIONS AND CAN THUS VARY.
Filter status
The lter status menu can be used to display the current lter status (dirt level).
Filter not dirty
No action needed.
Filter quite dirty
Order a replacement lter.
Filter very dirty
Change the lter in the near future.
Filter totally clogged up
Change the lter immediately.
