6. Installation
6.1 Prerequisites for installation
• The position from which the outdoor air is drawn in must be selected so that any nearby emission sources have as little
impact as possible on the quality of the air being drawn in.
• The maximum permissible area load is 1,000 kg per running metre of ventilator length.
• Installation options:
Installation in the window sill Concealed installation in the
window sill
Concealed installation in the wall
with wall duct
Installation in the window lintel Concealed installation in the
window lintel
Vertical installation next to the window
6.2 Additional requirements for AEROMAT VT RS smart
• The AEROMAT VT RS smart should be installed to be as free from interference as possible.
The following interferences can have a negative influence on the WLAN signal:
- Water pipes
- Stone and concrete walls
- Metal objects
- Air conditioning units
- Wireless devices (e. g. radio telephones, baby monitors, Bluetooth loudspeakers, etc.)
- WLAN networks on the same wireless channels (e. g. the neighbour's WLAN router)
• If energy-carrying cables are routed in parallel to data cables (ISDN, DSL, etc.), this could lead to interference e.g. in the
speed of the data transmission.

6.3 Installation sequence
1. Remove the AEROMAT VT carefully from the packaging and do not place it on the weather grille or front panel. We
recommend storing the unit on a soft surface (e.g. cardboard or sheet) during installation.
2. Close the sliders on the front to prevent dirt (e.g. dust) from entering the unit during installation. If the AEROMAT VT does
not have sliders, tape up the recesses in the front panel with film.
3. Make sure that no dirt and liquids can get inside the AEROMAT VT including the weather grille prior to the installation of
the exterior insulation or cladding.
Attention! According to the installation location, it is therefore necessary to adhere the AEROMAT VT at points where rain
could permeate.

applicable on site.
5. Check AEROMAT VT for cleanliness prior to starting it up. Clean if necessary (see "maintenance and care" on page
17).
Attention! Only drill in through-holes for wall plugs and screws in the area indicated (see marker tape).
Important! Remove any marker tape that is visible after installation.
6.4 Interruption of installation work
› Prior to stopping work or while work is interrupted, protect open ends or areas so that no dust or moisture can enter.

7. Mains supply
Depending on the design, the AEROMAT VT is connected to a suitable socket of the 230-V AC mains power supply using the
Euro plug or directly to the 230-V AC mains power supply using an external switch.
7.1 Socket connection
Important: When installed in damp locations, the socket for the AEROMAT VT must be installed in at least protection
class3.
› Insert the Euro plug into a suitable 230-V AC mains power supply.
7.2 External switch connection
Exposed electrical components.
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock or fire.
› Work on a 230 V AC mains power supply may only be performed by a qualified electrician.
› All work on the 230 V AC mains power supply must be carried out in compliance with the current German VDE
regulations (e.g. VDE 0100) and any relevant country-specific requirements.
› Switch off or unscrew the security devices.
Important: If the AEROMAT VT is connected directly to the 230-V AC mains power supply, the customer must install a
mains isolator.

8. Unit function
8.1 Operation by pressure differential: (DS/DSg type)
• The room is ventilated through compensation of the indoor and outdoor air pressures (pressure differential). As this
happens, the air normally flows into the room from outside.
• The air flow into the room varies as the wind pressure changes with the weather.
• With the optional internal electrical closer, the unit is opened and closed using e.g. an external switch.
8.2 Ventilator operation (type RS1)
• The AEROMAT VT RS1 is either equipped with 1 or 2 supply air fans and/or with 1 or 2 exhaust air fans.
• Supply air blower (depending on the the equipment): The outside air is drawn in through the supply air blower and enters
the room as supply air.
• Exhaust air blower (depending on the equipment): The exhaust air is drawn in through the exhaust air blower and makes
its way outside as outgoing air.
• When the blower is switched off, the Type RS1 AEROMAT VT functions as a pressure differential ventilator.
