Introduction
This manual consists of 2 parts:
• Part 1 - User: guide to the operation of the device
• Part 2 - Installer: guide for performing a correct installation
General safety regulations
Always follow the safety regulations, warnings, comments and instructions from this
manual. If these safety regulations, warnings, comments and instructions are not followed, it could
lead to damage to the Healthbox 3.0 or to personal injury, for which RENSON®NV cannot be
held responsible.
• Installation of the Healthbox 3.0 must be performed in accordance with the general and locally
applicable regulations regarding construction, safety and installation requirements of the
municipal/urban and/or other bodies.
• Only a qualified electrician (or supported by a qualified installer) should install, connect,
commission and maintain Healthbox 3.0 differently than as described in this manual.
• All wiring must be done by a qualified person.
• Please ensure that the electrical power supply for Healthbox 3.0 corresponds to the
requirements in this guide.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
representative or similar qualified persons to avoid danger.
• Healthbox 3.0 is constructed so that in normal use, and without deliberate action, it is not
possible to come into contact with moving or live parts.
• The device must be mounted in a touch-proof manner. This means that, under normal operating
conditions, no one can come into contact with moving or live parts of the fan unit without a
deliberate action such as:
– Disassembling the cover plate (and motor plate).
– Disconnecting an air duct and/or protective cover on the suction points during normal use.

Specific measures
• Ensure that the Healthbox 3.0 remains easily accessible at all times, so that maintenance and
service can be done easily.
• Healthbox 3.0 meets the legal requirements for electrical devices.
• Modifications to the Healthbox 3.0 are not allowed.
• The fan unit may only be used with appropriate RENSON®accessories.
• Use RENSON®air ducts and a RENSON®roof guide to minimize the pressure drop.
Thisresults in lower energy consumption and lower noise fan noise.
• The installer must ensure that the air extraction of the fan unit is placed at sufficient distance
from the drainage and supply of the boiler.
• The possibility of touching the fan must be excluded. Therefore, an air duct network must
always be connected to Healthbox 3.0 before putting it in to service. The minimum channel
length is 0.5 m.
• When Healthbox 3.0 is combined with products for compartmentalisation to reduce the
distribution risk of fire:
Ensure that the fire valve/butterfly valve/sleeve/... has sufficient free air passage to minimize
pressure loss. Choosing the wrong type may lead to non-functioning of the Healthbox 3.0.
• DO NOT install Healthbox 3.0 in areas where the following items are present or may be
present:
– An excessively fat-laden atmosphere
– Corrosive or flammable gases, liquids or vapours
– Room air temperature above 50°C or lower than -10°C
– Relative humidity higher than 90% or outside
– Healthbox 3.0 should not be used in places where it may be subject to possible water jets

Healthbox®3.0
The following specific safety measures must be taken:
• Always ensure that before commencing work activities, the power supply is disconnected by
unplugging the power cord from the wall socket or by switching off the fuse. (ensure that this
has actually happened!)
• Always wait for a minimum of 30 seconds to reconnect the power supply.
• Use appropriate/suitable tools for performing work on mounting the Healthbox 3.0.
• Use the device only for applications for which it was designed, as stated in the manual.

2 • Healthbox 3.0 operation
Healthbox 3.0 was specifically developed for integration in residential homes and apartments,
but can also be used in the non-residential sector such as residential care centres, studios, etc. It is
a compact device, which means that it does not require a lot of installation space.
Proper functioning of the demand-controlled ventilation system is only guaranteed if the following
three pillars are adapted to one another:
• Supply: self-regulating RENSON®window ventilation class P3 or P4.
• Throughput: door grille or crack under the door.
• Drainage: Healthbox 3.0 demand-controlled fan unit.

2.1 • Demand-controlled ventilation
The demand-controlled ventilation system from Renson®is successful due to its comfort, energy
efficiency and ease of maintenance. The home is optimally ventilated according to the living
habits of the residents.
Healthbox 3.0 monitors the air quality 24 hours a day for CO2or moisture and/or VOCs (odour)
per connected room. The ventilation level is hereby intelligently fully automatically adjusted in
function of the measured air quality. This is done based on sensors in the control module. As long
as the air quality in a room is good, the ventilation level remains limited, which is very interesting
regarding energy in terms of heat savings and electricity consumption.
2.2 • Fan control
The fan is controlled via an active variable pressure control. This is a smart control that
continuously adjusts the fan speed to achieve the required ventilation air flows at the lowest
possible pressure level. This ensures extremely quiet operation as well as the lowest power
consumption.
2.3 • Breeze function
Healthbox 3.0 is standard equipped with a Breeze function. The Breeze function helps to limit the
risk of overheating inside the home.
What is the Breeze function?
When outside temperatures rise considerably during the day in summer, Healthbox 3.0 helps to
let in the fresh air at night.
The Breeze function becomes active to extract the warm indoor air more quickly in all rooms with
an increased flow rate and thus supply cooler outdoor air.
As a result, the Healthbox 3.0 contributes to the natural cooling of the residence.
Activating the Breeze function
Breeze control is automatic, but can only be active at night (between 0h and 6h) if the average
indoor temperature (measured on all control modules) is higher than the minimum temperature
(e.g. 24°C). The minimum temperature is freely adjustable in the app. The Breeze function must
be active for at least one hour.

3 • SmartConnect
With the SmartConnect connection, Healthbox 3.0 can be connected to the home network*.
This offers the occupant the following benefits:
• Home network connected to the
internet:
– The app (section 3.2) can be
used to visualise data about
the measured air quality from
the device and if necessary, to
temporarily manually adjust the
ventilation level where necessary.
– The Lio web portal can be
consulted (section 3.3).
– Healthbox 3.0 can be incorporated
into a smart home, to be integrated
into a home management system in order to communicate with other smart devices.
Allpossibilities for interaction can be fully used (section 3.4).
• Home network not connected to the internet:
– Healthbox 3.0 can be incorporated into a smart home to communicate with other
smart devices in a home management system. Interaction possibilities are rather limited
(section3.4).
3.1 • Connecting Healthbox 3.0 to the home network
To use the app and the web portal, the home network to which Healthbox 3.0 is connected must
be connected to the Internet. This way, it is possible to read out all data from the ventilation
system on the app, in order to adjust Healthbox 3.0 with the app, ...
NOTE:
Healthbox 3.0 always works completely autonomously, even if there is no
connection to the home network.

All profiles are based on demand control:
The Eco profile prioritizes the energy efficient
aspect where the polluted air is discharged with a
lower ventilation level over a longer period of time.
The Health profile ensures healthy indoor air and
is energy efficient due to the demand-controlled
ventilation system (normal setting).
The Intense profile ensures that contaminated
air is discharged more quickly via an intensified
ventilation level.
