damages.
The following are not covered by our warranty: defects resulting from an abnormal usage or a usage not conforming
to the recommendations of our manuals; faults observed as a consequence to normal wear; incidents caused by
negligence, lack of monitoring, or servicing; faults due to the incorrect installation of the devices or to bad storage
conditions before mounting.
In any case, S&P will not be responsible for transformed unit, repaired even partially.
2. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The ALTAIR ensures optimum ventilation of a house with a maximum energy recovery. It draws air from the rooms
(bathroom(s), toilet, kitchen and wash room(s)) and supplies fresh air through the main rooms (living room, bedroom
(s), office, etc ).
The fresh and extract airflows are separated and filtered. Only heat energy is transferred to the fresh filtered air that
is introduced. Due to the high-efficiency heat exchanger used in the ALTAIR performance can reach 86%.
Condensation forms during the heat exchange process and is recovered in the condensate tray, which must be con-
nected to a waste water drain.

5
Outdoor air (ODA):
Install the fresh air intake (wall or roof) at a su-
fficient distance from any source of high pollu-
tion (trees, exhaust fumes, roads, etc.)
Exhaust air (EHA):
This duct must be sealed and insulated to pre-
vent condensation.
Supply air (SUP):
To avoid thermal losses and optimize the per-
formance of the installation, it is recommended
to use insulated duct.
Extract air (ETA):
To avoid thermal losses and optimize perfor-
mance of the installation, it is recommended to
use insulated ducts.
This duct must be sealed and in-
sulated to prevent condensation.
This duct must be sealed and in-
sulated to prevent condensation.

2.3. INSTALLATION
Ceiling:
30 mm
To avoid the vibration transmission and noise to the duct, we
recommend to use flexible connections.
Supply/Extract Air: Installation of flexible silencers type LAF
95 (article code: 5209358600 / LAF 95 0,5M or 5209358500 /
LAF 95 1M)
Outdoor/Exhaust Air: connection with flexible duct thermally
insulated type GP ISO ECOSOFT (article number: 5209346600
GP-ISO 100/25 6M ECOSOFT)
lateral view
The drain pipe should be installed with a drop of min.
1% to assure a good drainage and has to be connected
to a with water filled siphon.
Please assure that the access opening to the unit is big
enough to allow maintenance or replacing the unit.
It is recommended to install the ALTAIR in the heated zone of the house.
The minimum temperature should not be less than +10ºC.
In climate zones where outdoor temperatures are often under -10ºC it
is recommended to install a pre-heater.
The ALTAIR heat recovery unit is designed for indoor installation.

2.4. START UP
Installer
The remote control allows to adjust:
• Airflows (3 speeds)
• Period for filter maintenance
• Balance of supply/extract airflow
To adjust the speed please turn the corresponding potentiometer with a small screw driver in the wished position.
The ALTAIR 120 is working with constant airflow. This allow to adjust the airflow as in the tables below without the
necessity to balance.
The potentiometer “balance airflows” allows to work in over/under pressure if wished.

Adjustment of the filter maintenance period
It is possible to set the period to 6, 9, 12, or 15 months (12 month factory setting). The filter clogging depends on the
pollution of the area where the unit is installed. We recommend checking the time in which the filter clogs and adjus-
ting this period. It is advisable to do this after the second filter change. Of course, after the installation, the extract air
is dusty and not representative. During the second filter check, if you notice that the filters are clean you can increase
the time, if you notice the filters are very dirty you should decrease the time.
Lift the cover of the control and adjust the timer as shown. To do this set the dipswitches 1 and 2 as in the drawings
below.

Adjustment of the relative humidity %
The Altair has as a standard a humidity sensor in the extract air installed. This sensor allows to adjust the velocity in
dependence of the relative humidity in the extract air. The upper limit of the relative humidity can be adjusted with the
potentiometer as shown below (factory setting position A=84% rH).

SPCM-1 COMMUNICATIONS MODULE: (optional)
The SPCM-1 communications board will allow you to con-
nect the ALTAIR unit with the S&P IoT Platform: CONNEC-
TAIR.
To connect the SPCM-1 module to the ALTAIR you must first
disconnect the control (14) and then connect the SPCM-1
with the cable supplied to the same terminal block (14).
In order to activate the SPCM-1 Module, you must change
the position of DIPSWITCH NO. 6 in the bank of 6 dipswit-
ches from position 1 to position 0.
The communications module box can be attached to the ALTAIR for the Velcro type element.
We recommend sticking it to one of the sheet metal braces to ensure its correct fixation. If it is not possible, two
screws with their respective plugs are attached to be fixed to the wall.
To allow the output of ALTAIR to the Internet, you must first connect it to your router. The SPCM-1 communications
module has a wired (ETHERNET) or wireless (WIFI) connection. Follow the instructions you will find in the module
box.

2.5. FILTER MAINTENANCE
We recommend a periodical maintenance of the filters (mi-
nimum 1x year).
After the adjusted period de alarm will be activate. For
changing the filter, please remove the plastic taps (1) put the
filters (2) out and substitute them with new ones. After chan-
ging the filter put back the plastic taps.
Everytime when filters are replaced the filter main-
tenance period has to be reseted pressing the but-
ton “A” during 5 seconds.
2.6. STANDBY FUNCTION
Push and hold the button  for 3 seconds, the unit
will switch into the standby mode. During the stan-
dby mode the button (posar simbol ventilador) will
be red illuminated (see drawing below). To switch
the unit on push the button again.
