2 System overview
The Pax iV12-Smart ventilation system comprises a wall sleeve in which a thermal accumulator
with fan is installed, an inner cover and a weather protection hood. It is generally installed in an
external wall. The standard length of the wall sleeve is 495 mm. For thicker walls, you have the
option of ordering wall sleeves with a length of 745 mm, which can then be cut to the appropriate
length when the wall is nished.
The Pax iV12-Smart ventilation system works according to the regenerator principle. A ceramic
thermal accumulator is charged with warm air through a reversible fan or discharged with cold air.
The integral thermal accumulator is charged up with the heat of the warm indoor air when it ows
outside (exhaust air). If the fan changes direction, it transfers the accumulated heat to the supply to
the outdoor air (supply air).
To ensure that this principle works correctly and that the volumes of supply air and exhaust air
correspond, at least two Pax iV12-Smart ventilation units are required. One ventilation unit works
in supply air mode and the other works in exhaust air mode. After 70 seconds, the fan changes its
rotational direction.
The Pax iV12-Smart ventilation unit is controlled via one of the following Pax system controllers:
• ZR8 • MZ-One
• ZR10-D
The design of the Pax iV12-Smart ventilation system is based on experiences with our successful
iV14 ventilation system in accordance with DIBt approval Z-51.3-156.
Characteristics
• Tailored solution for a pleasant room climate in workplaces, living areas and bedrooms.
• Low power consumption.
• Can be used for wall thicknesses of between 250 – 735 mm.

2.2 Function
The Pax iV12-Smart ventilation system is designed for the ventilation of living areas and bedrooms
in houses and apartment blocks, hotels and B&Bs, rooms in public facilities and work spaces in
ofces. It is suitable for installation in new builds and for retrotting in existing buildings.
It is installed in external walls.
NOTE
Disruption of the thermal insulation composite system.
Damage to the basic structure of the building!
► Observe specications in RAL installation guidelines.
Before starting work, a project should be available from which the number of ventilation units,
position of the ventilation units, ventilation principle (cross ventilation, single room ventilation,
extraction) and relevant controllers can be determined. The following basic rules apply to the
functioning of the ventilation units.
Paired operation of the ventilation units: The amount of supply air should correspond to the
amount of exhaust air. Every ventilation unit that is conveying supply air should be assigned to a
different ventilation unit that is simultaneously conveying exhaust air. The project can be used to
assign the starting order of the ventilation units that may need to be changed following start up of
the controllers. All of the ventilation units are set to "Exhaust air" when delivered.
Synchronisation: The synchronisation of the ventilation units must be ensured when using several
ventilation units controlled via several controllers (see installation and operating instructions for the
controller). All of the controllers should be connected via a mains fuse in the building distributor.
Cross ventilation: A decentralised ventilation system is based on the free movement of air
between individual pairs of ventilation units. This is why internal doors must not have an air tight
seal. Overow measures must be implemented: an air gap of approx. 10 mm below the door,
unscrewing door hinges by 5 mm, use of a ventilation grid or similar.

5.3 Information on RAL-compliant installation
Wall sleeves are inserted in the wall openings and aligned at a gradient with a ush nish on the inside
and outside of the wall. A modern wall consists of several vertical layers that are cut through when the
wall opening is inserted. This structure must be recreated up to the wall sleeve. A similar situation occurs
when installing windows and doors, as the installation must be RAL-compliant5) and is regulated by
standards. This procedure must also be applied to Pax®ventilation units. In addition to the load-bearing
and insulating characteristics of the walls there are also specied and dened sealing layers:
Water vapour barrier
The water vapour barrier is usually located inside the room and prevents water vapour from penetrating
the wall from the living area. The water vapour can cause condensation on cold areas of the wall thus
generating thermal bridges.
Rain barrier
The rain barrier is water tight and stops rain of up to a certain pressure. This barrier is located on the
outside. It is water vapour permeable to remove any humidity from the wall and ensure that the wall
remains sufciently dry in the long-term.
Wind barrier
Multi-layered walls often have special wind barriers that are implemented using lm systems. The water
vapour barriers often also perform this function.

USER AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS USER AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Swelling tapes
Swelling tapes supplement the barrier system by exibly lling gaps and joints between components and
the masonry. On site they are often also used as rain and water vapour barriers.
Adhesive
Adhesive is used between different lms to safeguard the structure in the long-term.
These wall layers, if presents, must also be connected to the wall sleeve. Different materials, systems and
auxiliary materials are provided for this purpose. Generally, only tested and approved materials should be
used and the manufacturer's processing information should be thoroughly read before use.
5.4 Creating the wall opening/plaster groove
CAUTION
Falling masonry while making wall opening.
Personal injury and/or material damage!
► Provide protection against falling masonry on the outside of the building.
► Remove objects from immediate vicinity of the outside of the building.
