2 Hints for the operator and the qualified personnel
This section describes how to use the CLIMOS.
Product description 2.1
The CLIMOS is a ventilation device with heat recovery for healthy, balanced and energy-saving comfort
ventilation. A comfort ventilation system consists in exhausting stale, odorous air for example from the
kitchen, the bathroom, W.C.s and in introducing an equal quantity of fresh air into living rooms, bedrooms
and children’s rooms.
For heat recovery, the CLIMOS is equipped with a membrane moisture heat exchanger (enthalpy
exchanger) which, due to its physical properties, is not only able to transfer heat, but also moisture. The
use of moisture sensors for limit monitoring in rooms with high humidity rise is recommended. The casing
is made of powder-coated sheet metal with anthracite colouring. The internal lining made of high-quality
polypropylene provides the necessary heat insulation and device noise protection.
In contrast to the version CLIMOS Basic, the version CLIMOS Comfort is additionally equipped with an
integrated defroster heater. Both design versions are available in the construction types A or B. Amongst
others, the type plate informs about the design version and the construction types.
The CLIMOS includes two maintenance-free 230 Vac radial fans with the integrated power supply unit
and electronic commutation. The volume flow constant fans keep the air quantity at a constant speed for
each selected fan rotary speed. The air quantity is also not affected by soiled filters.
One filter each for the intake air and the extract are installed in the device. They consist of a synthetic
woven filter medium with a frame made of polypropylene. Filters of the filter class F7 in pollen filter
quality can be optionally used for the outside air.

Type plate 2.1.1
The type plate clearly identifies the product. The type plate is located on the side of the casing next to the
electrical connections. The information on the type plate is necessary for the safe use of the product and
in case of service-related questions. The type plate must be permanently attached to the product.
Fig 2: Type plate CLIMOS
Requirements on the assembly site 2.1.2
The heat recovery unit is suitable for being mounted in frost-free interior areas. The indoor-climate
ambient conditions must not permanently exceed 70 % r. F. at 22 °C.
Frost protection 2.1.3
The CLIMOS is equipped with automatic frost protection which prevents that the heat exchanger freezes
at very low outside air temperatures. Depending on the set frost protection mode, the fans are temporarily
switched off when falling below the threshold values of the device intake air limit temperature. With regard
to the CLIMOS-series with integrated defroster, a PTC heater battery is activated when falling below the
threshold values of the device outside air limit temperature. However, if it is fallen below the threshold
values despite the heat quantity supplied by the integrated defroster, the fans are temporarily switched off
as well.
The automatic frost protection for monitoring the supply air temperature serves as freezing protection of
an optional downstream hydraulic heater battery and temporarily switches off the fans when falling below
the threshold values of the limit temperature for the supply air.
Joint operation with heat-producing appliances 2.1.4
In case of simultaneous operation with heat-producing appliances, e.g. chimneys, the corresponding
standards and regulations must be complied with by the qualified personnel. The joint operation of indoor
air-dependant heat-producing appliances and ventilation plants requires an appropriate safety device
(differential pressure switch) or a plant-specific measure, in the event that dangerous negative pressures
can be generated in the installation room of the heat-producing appliance during operation. The CLIMOS
is set up for the joint operation with heat-producing appliances.

The automatic mode has 2 automatic functions – automatic
timing and automatic sensor. The manual settings are
deactivated by touching the button.
By means of the automatic timing mode, different fan speeds
(FS0, FS1, FS2 or FS3) can be defined for every day of the
week with a resolution of 15 minutes. This “fan speed week
profile” can be configured and individually adjusted in the
menu Settings/submenu Automatic timing.
The automatic sensor mode regulates the fans according to a
pre-settable linear characteristic curve depending on an
analogue indoor air quality sensor (also CO2, air humidity and
temperature combined).

By selecting a group of days (e.g. Mon-Fri), the change data are assigned to each day of the group. Thus,
the settings for the group “Mon-Fri” are then identical to the days “Mon”, “Tue”…”Fri” (or group “Sat-Sun”
identical to days “Sat”, “Sun”). In order to operate the plant with fan speed profiles and time profiles that
differ from day to day, the profile of the respective day (“Mon”…”Sun”) must be changed. Possibly further
changes in the groups “Mon-Fri” or “Sat-Sun” overwrite the previously made settings of the individual
days again!

or humidity sensor to the control of the ventilation device. The analogue signal of the sensor
is taken as control signal for the fan rotary speed of the ventilation device. When applying several sensors
in one ventilation plant, the output signal of a maximum value module is used for the control of the
ventilation device. At first, using the navigation buttons (red background of the text) and by setting the
checkmark, it is selected whether the sensor has a current output or voltage output (current: 4…20 mA,
voltage: 0…10 V), and this is confirmed with Enter. Subsequently, the lower point (range start parameter
p1) and the upper point (range stop parameter p2) of a linear characteristic curve for the fan speed are
