Operating Instructions for the User of a TAC Fan Control
These operating instructions are primarily intended for the user of a TAC control. We assume that the
control as well as all ventilation components have been installed and commissioned by a qualified specia-
list.
We also assume that the user is aware which ventilation units or components have been installed and
where and how these are connected to the control unit.
Attention: You require a configuration code for your control.
Via the ‚Information screen‘ you can find out whether your control unit has a configuration code and which
configuration code your control unit has. This code contains all information for smooth installation, com-
missioning of the control unit and all information concerning the ventilation systems connected and their
configuration. The configuration code is individual and can only be taken over and used by other installati-
ons in very seldom cases.
Please contact your ventilation planner, if you have not received a configuration code.
At www.lunos.de you will find assistance for preparing a configuration code yourself.

Using a TAC Fan Control for Ventilation Systems
A TAC control (Touch-Air-Comfort) is a state of the art control unit which can provide almost constant air
conditioning in the respective area of application without user intervention. Fully automatic functions for
humidity (and optionally CO2-) regulation combined with numerous comfort functions and time controls
enable simple, extremely effective ventilation control which requires no manual intervention on the part of
the user.
For example, a sensor-based room control can be activated which controls the respective fans and regu-
lates air supply based on room temperature and room humidity (or optionally based on CO2 values). All
parameters required are recorded and processed accordingly. The TAC controls or regulates the air volu-
me flow required automatically and adjusts it to existing conditions. The correct volume flow is selected
automatically in order to avoid increased values (such as humidity or CO2). You can choose which fan
should react to which values to provide the user with maximum individualization and comfort.
In addition, certain functions of the fan can be automatically activated or deactivated via time function. For
example, it is possible to select different fan programs depending on the time of day. At night, for example
you can avoid noise developments or unnecessary ventilation while the user is absent (working time or
vacation). All functions are structured to ensure the volume flow of fresh air required is ensured and that
minimum energy consumption is achieved at all times.

9
It is of course possible to intervene manually in the control of the fans connected at any time. This can be
done directly via TAC or via switches which can be connected optionally.
You can also connect light control (or a total of three additional switches or buttons) e.g. of a bathroom to
the TAC. When entering a room, for example, and actuating a light switch, a ventilation system can be
activated in order to remove e.g. odors or humidity faster (or to switch off the ventilation system).
LUNOS has already configured the most important functions for the user and has summarized these in a
rapid menu. It is, for example, possible to execute various rapid accesses to fans very easily. When
leaving the apartment the air capacity can be reduced. With the aid of a timer it is very easy to ensure
that the ventilation system functions fully again before the planned return of the user. You can also select
short-term breaks (e.g. for a spontaneous siesta) or the party mode if there are many people in the apart-
ment.
In addition, you can also activate a summer bypass (summer ventilation). In this type of fan control, the
function of heat recovery (for units with heat recovery) is deactivated, and the room temperature is regula-
ted with the aid of outside air. This means you can have hot or cold air flow into the apartment, as requi-
red.
The user of a TAC has a variety of opportunities at his fingertips to ensure his own, individual ideal func-
tioning of the ventilation system without having to intervene manually.

The display used is a so-called E Ink Display. You may be familiar with this display if you have seen or
use E-book readers, which are becoming more and more popular.
The great benefit of this display is its extremely low power consumption compared to conventional LCD
displays and its outstandingly clear display of symbols and text.
Savings potential from low power consumption can quickly run into double Euro figures and is of course
also friendly to our environment.
LUNOS has decided to do without lighting for the display. The display can still be easily read from all
sides and from almost every angle even without lighting.
The energy saving impact also has a minor ‘disadvantage‘. As soon as the display is frequently updated
within a brief period (e.g. when the TAC is configured), so-called ‘ghostings‘ (shadow images) may
appear. You can then see the previous image in a slightly gleaming form behind the current screen.
However, the TAC also has an algorithm which ensures that such ghostings disappear after approx. 60
seconds. If you look at the screen for a longer period you will notice that after a certain time the writing is
extremely clear without any ghostings.
In normal operation you will not see any ghostings.

Control Keys
There are four control keys on the TAC (refer to Ill. Chapter ‚1. Start Screen—permanent Display‘).
You can complete all setting options via these keys. The symbols and allocation of the keys is similar to
the keys you are familiar with in devices used in the household and electronic entertainment field:
Λ Key „up“, via this key you can move ‚upwards‘ within a screen or you can increase numerical quanti-
ties, in the start screen you can move to the menu ‚Settings‘.
V Key „down“, via this key you can move ‚downwards‘ within a screen or reduce numerical quantities,
in the start screen you can move to the menus for outlets
OK via „OK“ you either confirm that you wish to process the screen line selected or that the change
executed is complete, in the start screen you can move to ‚Rapid access‘
 via this key you move to the previous, super-ordinate screen in hierarchical terms, this is not occu-
pied in the start screen
Note:
In the bottom right hand corner of the screen you are shown the next possible key to be operated as as-
sistance.

Application
The TAC comfort control serves to enable common triggering of ventilation units of the company LUNOS
with different functionality:
 Ventilation with heat recovery
 Exhaust air
 Supply air
The TAC is fitted with a standard humidity/temperature sensor. A CO2 sensor can also be purchased as
an optional accessory.
Important:
The TAC has three inlets and three outlets. If required, you can connect switches directly to the inlets
(contact voltage range 100 to 240 VAC) and allocate the outlets via configuration software. In combinati-
on with the universal control 5/UNI, you can connect keys to the 5/UNI.
You can trigger only one ventilation unit type respectively via the outlets. The basic number of possible
devices which can be connected per outlet is displayed in the adjacent table.
Which and how many devices are to be connected, and in which manner, is normally defined by planning
and the respective configuration code.

1. Start Screen—permanent Display
On the permanently displayed start screen you are provided with all information required concerning ope-
rating mode and ambient conditions of your LUNOS ventilation system in brief form. The following are
displayed (provided respective sensors are connected):
 CO2 concentrations, relative humidity and the temperature of room air in the AC section
 Temperature and relative humidity of outside air (provided sensors are connected in the external
area)
 Current date and time
 The respective active operating mode of the ventilation system from the options: Absent; summer
ventilation; party mode; intensive ventilation; night reduction (the symbol of the respective operating
mode is underlined when activated. If you access one of these symbols via the function ‚Rapid Ac-
cess‘ it is highlighted in black and the respective verbal sign is displayed in the bottom right hand
corner of the screen. You can then activate this function via ‚OK‘. If there is no activity, ‚Rapid Access
OK‘ appears in this position and you can activate one of the options specified via this function)

Proceed as described for navigation in the chapter ‚Control Keys‘, the type of navigation is always the
same:
Via the key „Λ“ you move from the start screen to the menu ‚Settings‘. If you want to change one of the
settings, press the key ‚OK‘ and then you can select the respective setting via the key „ Λ“ and „V“ and
move to the respective screen via ‚OK‘. Via „“ you move back to the super-ordinate menu ‚Settings‘.
If you have a so-called configuration code as user or installer of the TAC (three blocks respectively with
five numbers and/or letters) and if this has been entered into the TAC, the control has already been confi-
gured and is operable. Manual settings are normally not required, but can be executed at any time.
Only use manual settings if the ventilation systems connected do not function as required or if you wish to
change e.g. thresholds of the sensor control.
The settings made in the configuration code are normally sufficient and are ideal settings for your indivi-
dual needs.
If you are not satisfied with manually actuated settings and are not able to restore the required functions,
you can reset to factory settings, i.e. to the settings of the original configuration code at any time via
‚Settings‘, or use the mechanical ‚reset‘ button on the bottom side of the TAC.
If you use the ‚reset‘ button, your previously stored manual changes remain unaffected (except for the
rapid access functions).

After connecting the TAC to the mains supply, the correct time and current date should normally be set
(German summer or winter time).
It is only necessary to move to this menu if you are in another time zone or the time and/or date have
been changed (by mistake).
If regulation of the ventilation system is via sensor control pursuant to humidity/temperature value, the
ventilation system operates in summer mode during the months marked for summer reduction and in
winter mode for other months.
In winter mode, during the cold season and the transition period, this prevents excessive humidity in the
apartment and thus prevents structural damage and mold. The TAC controls automatically and ensures
ideal comfort and a cozy feeling via continuous adjustment of the ventilation system to the room air hu-
midity and room temperature.
In summer mode, during the summer months, excessive ventilation is not useful on account of an in-
crease in external air humidity. If the TAC records an increased room air humidity during this period, it
tries to discharge the humidity by adjusting the ventilation stages. If the room air humidity then decreases,
the ventilation system is regulated in accordance with the humidity limits set (3.3 mode outlet 1). If the
room humidity does not decrease, the TAC switches the ventilation systems back to the starting stage.
This process prevents continuous ventilation at higher stages during the summers months on account of
an increase in external air humidity.

2.2. Comfort Time Schedule
Via the key „Λ“ or „V“ you move to the respective line to be changed, and via
‚OK‘ you open the lines for the change process. Via „Λ“ and „V“ you can then execute respective changes
and confirm such changes via „OK“.
Via the key „“ you return to the screen „Settings“.
An individual comfort time schedule gives you the opportunity of automatically executing specific fan func-
tions via time control in a weekly/daily setting.
In the standard version, for example, the comfort function ‚Night reduction‘ is always selected for the night
(weekdays and at weekends) between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. This means that during the night all ventilation
systems connected change automatically to the lowest possible fan stage (this can mean either a low
flow rate or complete deactivation). The lowest respective fan stage can be configured in the respective
menu of the outlet involved at the TAC for the respective ventilation system (lowest selectable or display-
ed flow rates).
You can of course also adjust the comfort functions and time schedules available to your own wishes and
needs.
Attention: The outlets must be configured with the respective comfort function!
