2. Product information
2.1. Product description
äCaution!
Control based on wireless sensors (CO2, RV and/or
PIR) only works when the ventilation unit is in Auto or
Auto-Night mode.
To ensure a healthy indoor climate and prevent mould
and damp spots, it is important that the humidity level not
become too high.
The sensor can be placed in any area, but preferably in a
room producing a lot of moisture, such as a bathroom or
laundry area.
The control sensor measures the humidity level in the
room. It translates the measured value into a ventilation
demand and communicates this wirelessly to the
ventilation unit with which it is paired.
Note
When the humidity level has fallen sufficiently, the
capacity of the ventilation unit is automatically
decreased.
Tip
It is possible to place several wireless sensors and
controls in the dwelling, up to a maximum of 20.

3. Installation
äCaution!
In a bathroom you should mount the sensor vertically
and ideally near the shower at a height of
approximately 2 metres above the floor.
In a utility room you should mount the sensor
vertically and ideally at a height of approximately 1.5
metres above the floor at a central location in the
room.
Do not place the sensor immediately next to a window
or door, or behind a cabinet or couch. This can affect
the sensor reading.
Note
With average use, the sensor batteries should last
approximately two years. When the batteries are
almost empty, the sensor's status LED flashes red.
Once the batteries are completely empty, all the
sensor's LEDs will stop functioning, and the
ventilation unit will no longer react to increasing
humidity levels.
11

a) Open the sensor by manually releasing the latch at
the bottom.
b) Attach the sensor to the wall with the supplied
screws and anchor plugs through the provided holes
in the back of the sensor.

4.1.1. Ventilation speeds
You can set the unit to different ventilation speeds (flow
rates) with this sensor. The current ventilation speed is
indicated by a continuously lit green LED.
Proceed as follows to select the ventilation speed:
a) Briefly press the touch button once to enter
ventilation speed setting mode. The current
ventilation speed is shown.
b) Press the touch button repeatedly to select the
desired ventilation speed.
c) Stop when you reach the right ventilation speed.
d) After 2 seconds, the ventilation speed selected is
activated; if no further adjustments are made for the
standard time of 10 seconds, the LEDs will
automatically be dimmed.
When the timer expires, the ventilation unit switches back
to the last selected speed before the timer was started
unless that was high speed. In that case the ventilation
unit switches back to medium or low speed (or auto/auto
night speed), depending upon which of these was most
recently selected.
The timer can be stopped at any time by selecting a
different ventilation speed.
Ventilation speed sequence LED state
Auto mode (1) (2); automatic mode On
Auto night mode (3); automatic mode Blinking
Level 1: low speed On
Level 2: medium speed On

1) Auto can only be selected if the ventilation unit also supports
Auto mode.
15

2) Control based on wireless sensors (CO2, RV and/or PIR) only
works when the ventilation unit is in Auto or Auto-Night mode.
3) Auto night is available in combination with the RH sensor as well
as the CO2sensor. This speed is not available if more than one
CO2sensor is connected to the ventilation unit.
Note
By default, the ventilation speeds Low, Medium, and
High are not limited in duration. The ventilation unit
therefore stays in the Low, Medium, or High speed
setting until a different speed is selected.
You can limit the duration of the ventilation speed
selected. After the pre-set time period has ended, the
ventilation unit will then automatically return to the Auto
speed setting. You can set this up using the configuration
settings menu. To do so, refer to the Configuration
Settings section.
16

4.1.2. Auto Night speed
The Auto Night speed setting raises the minimum
ventilation speed to ensure sufficient ventilation during
the night. This speed is determined, in part, by the
settings chosen for the number of floors and residents
(via the configurations settings menu). To ensure proper
operation of the Auto Night speed, it's important to
ensure that these settings have been properly configured.
You can set the unit to Auto Night when you go to bed in
the evening. Always ensure that the room grilles are open
when using this setting.
äCaution!
Auto-Night does not switch off automatically after a
defined time. You should manually switch to Auto (or
another level) in the morning.
4.1.3. Dirty filter indication
The controller of the ventilation unit uses a smart counter
to keep track of when the filters need to be cleaned or
replaced. If the system detects that a filter is dirty, the
ventilation unit sends a wireless message to this effect.
This message can be displayed on specific linked devices.
Such as the CO2sensor, the RH sensor and the Spider air
conditioning thermostat.
The (dirty) filter indication is displayed by the status LED
on the sensor flashing orange.
4.1.4. Resetting filter indication
After cleaning or replacing the filters in accordance with
the instructions provided with the device, you should
reset the dirty filter indication:
You can reset the dirty filter indication in the following
way:
a) Disconnect power to the ventilation unit.
b) Apply power to the ventilation unit.
c) Within 10 minutes, hold the touch button on the
sensor down for 5 to 7 seconds.
After a successful reset, the status LED flashes green 3x.
17

5. Use
5.1. Pairing
Proceed as follows to link the sensor to the ventilation
unit:
a) Set the ventilation unit to pairing mode as described
in the manual for the ventilation unit.
Then ensure that the sensor sends a pairing signal within 2
minutes. If pairing fails, repeat the procedure.
b) Restore power to the sensor by refitting the cover
with the circuit board.
All green LEDs flash three times when the sensor is
initialised. After this the status will be red.
c) Hold the touch button down (5-7 seconds) until the
status LED is continuously lit white . At this point the
sensor sends a pairing message.
d) The pairing status is shown as follows:
- Status LED flashes green (once per second):
pairing successful; RF signal level good. The
ventilation unit briefly changes speed to indicate
that pairing was successful.
- Status LED flashes orange (once per second):
pairing successful; RF signal level moderate.
The ventilation unit briefly changes speed to
indicate that pairing was successful.
- Status LED flashes red (once per second):
pairing failed.
If pairing fails, repeat the entire procedure from the
start.
e) When pairing is successful, the LEDs flash for five
seconds and then show the status and ventilation
speed of the ventilation unit.
f) The sensor is now linked to the ventilation unit.
