1Safety recommendations
Requirements concerning safety are
described in detail in individual chapters of
this manual. Apart from them, apply to the
following requirements in particular.
•Before taking any actions regarding
controller: assembly, repairs or
maintenance, as well as during any
connection works, read manual and
manufacturer recommendations, please
make sure that the mains power supply
is disconnected and that terminals and
electric wires are devoid of voltage.
•After the controller is turned off using the
touch buttons, dangerous voltage still
can occur on its terminals. The controller
does not replace the electricity switch for
cooperating modules.
•Installation should be done by a person
with appropriate electrical qualifications
in accordance with technical
documentation and applicable
regulations. Improper cables connection
can result in the controller damage.
•The controller cannot be used in
conditions of water vapor condensation
and exposed to water. Provide protection
against dust and water.
•The controller is designed to be built-in.
Installation of the controller must
prevent access to hazardous parts and
ensure air exchange in the housing.
•Adjust value of programmed parameters
to specific installation type, including all
operation conditions. False adjustment
of parameters may result in emergency
state. Modification of preset parameters
should be done only by person familiar
with manual.
•Device software does not provide high
security level against false installation
operation, this should be provided by
applying external, controller
independent protections.
•It is necessary to use additional elements
to protect against the consequences of
controller malfunctions or errors in its
software.
•The controller has following procedures:
turning off heater while overheating,
which protects water heaters against
freezing, it disables fans when alarms
occur, however elements used must
have own, controller independent
protections.
•In controller power output circuits fuses
are used. Fuses value must be applied to
the load.
•The electric system in which the
controller operates must be protected by
means of a fuse, selected appropriately
to the applied loads.
•The device must be used as intended,
and within the operating parameters
range for which it has been designed.
Otherwise, the manufacturer does not
bear any responsibility for the effects
resulting from such action.
•Under no circumstances should
modifications of the controller structure
be made. It is forbidden to use a faulty
or repaired device by an unauthorized
service.
•The 230 VAC mains cables should be run
in a way that prevents them from coming
into contact with low-voltage
components.
•Cables should not come into contact with
surfaces with a temperature exceeding
the nominal operating temperature.

2General information
The ecoVENT MIDI controller controls the
recuperator of mechanical ventilation with a
cross-flow or rotary exchanger. Performs the
function of heat recovery from ventilated
rooms based on readings from sensors and
has the function of balanced ventilation.
Smoothly controls the air supply fan and
exhaust fan providing high efficiency of heat
recovery and air exchange in rooms based on
programmed schedules or manual control.
The controller smoothly controls additional
electric heaters, water cooler and fan
convector to provide the highest comfort and
precision regulation of ventilated air. Controls
the bypass and works with ground heat
exchanger GHE. It has the function of filters
support and detects their replacement and
overpressure/flow control function. The
controller works closely with the Web module
ecoNET300. It allows connection of external
control signals from the fire alarm system, air
quality sensors and other automation systems
through digital and analog inputs. Controller
signalizes and records emergency states
providing accurate system reaction. It saves
the cumulative operation time of individual
components into the counters and calculates
recuperator efficiency. It enables

7.6 Balanced ventilation function
The controller has balanced ventilation
function that adjusts the flow of air flow and
pressure in ventilation ducts. The function
allows to increase the efficiency of heat
recovery, system resistance e.g. against air
filter dirtying, exchanger resistances change
due to humidity or dirt, starting air flow via
ground heat exchanger.
The function turn on and configuration is done
in Installer menu.
7.7 GHE support
The controller supports ground heat
exchanger (GHE) as a part of the ventilation
system. The ground temperature is used here,
which is higher than air temperature for the
most part of the year.
The GHE support parameter allows selection
GHE operation mode:
•Close –the controller turn off glycol pump
or closes the throttle cutting off the air
flow via GHE.
•Open –the controller turn on glycol pump
or opens the air throttle on the GHE pipe
GHE.
•Auto - the controller turns on or off GHE
depending on preset user settings,
external temperature and GHE
temperature. Turn on can be done in two
modes: heating mode –winter turn on and
in cooling mode –summer turn on. Winter
turn on of GHE will be performed if
external temperature drops below Winter
opening temp. and while GHE sensor
temperature is higher than temperature
on external temperature sensor. Summer
opening will be performed if external
temperature increases above Summer
opening temp. and while GHE sensor
temperature is lower than temperature on
external temperature sensor.
In case of no GHE temperature sensor
connected or its support is off in installer
menu, the GHE control will depend on only
The balanced ventilation function requires the
connection of differential pressure sensors.
