bath and/or shower. The Avio N 100 extractor fan must only be installed outside protection area
0. When laying the power cable, observe the requirements of protection class II. Do not lay the
power cable while it is live.
Before installation, if necessary perform a biocidal pretreatment/water repellent treatment of
the plaster surface around the weather protection hood/reveal grille, in order to prevent algae
accumulation on the weather protection hood and a discolouration of the façade. Consult your
building planner about this!
Install a pressure monitor in rooms with open ues. Consult your chimney sweeper and/or build-
ing planner about this.
During the construction work, the aV100 extract air system must remain sealed against dust. It
must not be put into operation and the dust cover must not be removed until after completion of
the construction work.
1.3 Improper use
The equipment/system is not suitable for:
• Rooms with aggressive and corrosive gases
• Rooms with extreme dust load
• Structural drying
Reliable operation of the fan cannot be ensured in rooms containing polluted air.
1.4 Qualied personnel
The equipment/system may only be set up and operated in conjunction with this documenta-
tion. Installation, electrical connection and commissioning of the equipment/system may only be
performed by qualied personnel.
Qualied personnel within the meaning of the safety notices in this documentation are persons
who are authorised to install, put it into operation and identify equipment, systems and circuits
in accordance with established safety procedures.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
aV100 extract air system – Avio N 100 •Installation and operating instructions
2 System overview
The aV100 extract air system was developed for the ventilation of rooms with exterior windows
in single and multi-family homes, hotels and boarding houses.
The aV100 extract air system consists of a wall sleeve with non-return valve, an exterior outlet
and the Avio N 100 extractor fan with inner panel, which is mounted in the wall sleeve.
Installation of the wall sleeve with integrated non-return valve is generally carried out in the ex-
terior wall. The extractor fan can be mounted in the wall sleeve or a subceiling. When installing
the extractor fan to the subceiling the connection between wall sleeve and extractor fan must
be carried out on site.
Outside, the extract air system can be optionally nished with a weather protection hood
(standard model) or a at duct and reveal grille (corner model). The corner model is particularly
suitable when subsequently tting insulation or if a weather protection hood cannot be tted to
the outside wall for structural or other reasons (e.g. listed buildings).
The connection of a hygrostat is available as an option.
The aV100 extract air system can be used in the following rooms:
• Bathrooms/toilets • Utility rooms
• Kitchens • Hallways
Features
• Avio N 100 extractor fan with run-on function
• Can be installed in protection area 1 bath and shower rooms to VDE 0100
• Fan with low power consumption
• Very quiet operation through ow-optimised and attractive inner cover design
• Available as a standard model or corner model

Wall sleeve extension
An optional extension is available for wall thickness 531 mm – 1000 mm.
The extension is a second wall sleeve without pre-installed non-return valve and xing ele-
ments. The wall sleeve extension is inserted into the wall sleeve and stuck together at the seam
with durable, waterproof fabric tape.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
aV100 extract air system – Avio N 100 •Installation and operating instructions
Hygrostat (optional)
Figure 7: Front view of hygrostat
The hygrostat is a two-position controller for detecting and controlling the relative humidity
indoors. The measuring element is a hygroscopic fabric tape which undergoes a measurable
change in length via absorption of water. A micro-switch converts the changes into ON/OFF
signals.
The range of relative humidity (RH) can be continuously adjusted between 35% and 95% via a
set-point rotary control on the hygrostat's casing.
2.2 Functions
The aV100 extract air system is used for removing spent air from a room.
The Avio N 100 (N = run-on function) extractor fan is used in the aV100 extract air system. The
aV100 extract air system operates without heat recovery and runs on alternating current.
The Avio N 100 has a run-on function. Optionally, a hygrostat can be connected to control the
fan depending on the relative air humidity.
The run-on time determines how long the fan continues to run after switch-off. With activation
of the run-on time (switch-off is via a control element), the Avio N 100 continues to run until
the end of the set run-on time and then turns off automatically. This ensures an optimal air
exchange.
The run-on time is factory set at 15 minutes. It can be altered via the integrated potentiometer
within a range of 5 – 30 minutes.
The Avio N 100 extractor fan can be combined with an existing light switch or operated sepa-
rately via a switch/pushbutton.
• Combination with a light switch:
The Avio N 100 is switched on simultaneously with the activation of the room lighting. When
the room lighting is switched off, the run-on time is activated; the extractor fan runs until the
end of the run-on time and then switches itself off.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
aV100 extract air system – Avio N 100 •Installation and operating instructions
• Switch connection:
When the switch is pressed, the Avio N 100 is switched on. When the switch is switched off,
the run-on time is activated; the extractor fan runs until the end of the run-on time and then
switches itself off.
• Pushbutton connection:
When the pushbutton is pressed, the Avio N 100 is switched on and the run-on time is acti-
vated. The extractor fan will run until the end of the run-on time.
The optional hygrostat controls the fan depending on the interior humidity. If the set relative
interior humidity limit is exceeded, the extract air system is switched on. If the relative interior
humidity falls below the set limit, the run-on is activated. The extractor fan will run until the end
of the run-on time and then switch itself off automatically.
2.3 Control elements
Potentiometer
The potentiometer is located on the PCB of the Avio N 100 extractor fan.
It is used to set the run-on time within a range of 5 – 30 minutes. The run-on time is factory set
at 15 minutes.
Figure 8: Integrated potentiometer control element on the PCB of the Avio N 100
Light switch/switch/pushbutton

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

5 Installation and assembly
5.1 Instructions for proper RAL installation
NOTE
Interruption of the thermal insulation composite system.
Damage to the building structure.
►Observe the regulations in the RAL installation guidelines!
Wall sleeves must be inserted in wall openings, aligned with a gap and nished ush to the
interior wall. Modern walls consist of multiple vertical layers which are penetrated during the
creation of the wall opening. Replace this construction as far as the wall sleeve. A similar
situation exists during the installation of windows and doors; their installation must be carried
out according to RAL1) and is regulated normatively. Apply this procedure also for inVENTer®
ventilation devices. In addition to the supporting and insulating properties of the walls, there are
also dened barrier layers:
Water vapour barrier
The water vapour barrier is usually in the interior wall and prevents the penetration of water va-
pour from the living space into the wall. This water vapour can condense to water at cold spots
in the wall and thus lead to thermal bridges.
Rain barrier
The rain barrier is waterproof and resists rainwater up to a certain pressure. This barrier is lo-
cated on the outside and is permeable to water vapour in order to bring the moisture out of the
wall and keep the wall sufciently dry for a long time.
Wind barrier
Multilayered walls often have special windproof layers that are created
using lm systems. Frequently, water vapour barriers also perform this function.
Expanding waterstops
Expanding waterstops complement the barrier system by exibly lling gaps and joints between
components and masonry. They often also serve locally as rain barriers and water vapour bar-
riers.
Adhesives
Adhesives create a long-term bond between various foils.
If present, rebuild these wall layers as far as the wall sleeve. Various materials, systems and
additives are available for this purpose. Only use tested and approved materials and read the
manufacturer's working instructions thoroughly prior to use.
