AEROMAT VT Installation and operating instructions
Last update: 02.2015
Intended use
• The AEROMAT VT is intended for installation in the exterior windows/walls of permanent structures in accordance with
our installation and design documents as well as the specifications of our assembly instructions and is only suitable for the
ventilation of enclosed rooms.
• Do not use the AEROMAT VT in environments with corrosive or explosive atmospheres (dust, vapour or gas).
• If the AEROMAT VT is to be used in a room with a heating unit that draws air from the room, prior authorisation must be
obtained from the proper authorities, such as the officially appointed district chimney sweep. Intended use requires that
any combustion air lines and exhaust gas systems of solid fuel heating units must be able to be shut off.
• Only operate and/or store the AEROMAT VT at temperatures between -15°C and +40°C.
• Use the AEROMAT VT only with genuine accessories from SIEGENIA.
• Use the AEROMAT VT only when it is in a technically sound condition. Do not modify the unit's components in any way.
• Ventilation openings must be kept free and must not be blocked by other equipment, furniture or objects.
• If the AEROMAT VT is fitted with filters, you must make sure that these cannot become the source of elements that are
odorous and harmful to health; this also includes regular inspection and replacement of filters.
• In the event of a fault, only have the AEROMAT VT repaired by experienced specialists with training and practice in the
repair of ventilation units.
Safety notices
RS Type
• This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above as well as by people with physical, sensory or mental difficulties or
with a lack of experience and knowledge as long as they are supervised or have been instructed in how to use the unit
safely and understand the resulting risks. Children must not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be
carried out by children without supervision.
• Insert the Euro plug of the network connection cable into a suitable 230-V AC mains power supply only.
• If the network connection cable is damaged, it may only be replaced by SIEGENIA, its customer service department or
an electrician.
• 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.
• All-pole safety isolation should be used when fitting the network connection cable on-site.
• Should a solid object or any liquid get inside the unit, stop operation immediately and disconnect the AEROMAT VT from
the mains power supply:
- Check whether the AEROMAT VT has become damaged.
- Have the unit repaired by a specialist, if necessary

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. If the AEROMAT VT is to be concealed in the window sill, make sure that no dirt and liquids can get inside the weather
grille before the outside window sill is installed.
AEROMAT VT and cover the weather grille with film as shown in illustration.
4. Install the AEROMAT VT in its intended installation position and seal it in accordance with the installation directives
applicable on site.
5. Check AEROMAT VTfor cleanliness prior to starting it up. If necessary, clean the unit thoroughly as described in our
operating and maintenance instructions.
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.
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.

Power 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.
Socket connection
Important: When installed in damp locations, the socket for the AEROMAT VT must be installed to at least protection
class3.
› Insert the Euro plug into a suitable 230-V AC mains power supply.
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, a mains isolator must be
installed by the customer.
› Wire the circuit according to this circuit diagram.

Installation and operating instructions AEROMAT VT

Function
Operation by pressure differential: (DS/DSg Type)
• The room is ventilated as the indoor and outdoor air pressures are equalised (pressure differential). As this happens, the
air normally flows from outside into the room.
• The air flow into the room varies as the pressure created by the wind changes with the weather.
• With the optional internal electrical closer, the unit is opened and closed using an external switch.
Ventilator operation (RS Type)
• The AEROMAT VT RS Type is either equipped with 1 or 2 supply air blowers and/or with 1 or 2 exhaust air blowers.
• 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 drawn in through the exhaust air blower and makes its
way outside as outgoing air.
• When the blower is switched off, the AEROMAT VT RS Type functions as a pressure differential ventilator.
Operation
Ventilation without blowers (DS/DSg Type and RS Type)
1. Open sliders
Ventilation with blowers (RS Type)
Note: Depending on the design, the membrane key is positioned on either the left or right in the AEROMAT VT. If it is on the
right, the membrane key is turned 180° (see figure).
1. Open sliders
2. Set the required blower level using either the membrane key or the external switch

Care and maintenance
Important: When cleaning the AEROMAT VT, do not allow liquids to get inside the unit.
• Clean the AEROMAT VT with a cloth moistened with a mild soap solution or cleaning agent.
• Never use cleaning agents that are aggressive or contain solvents, or sharp-edged objects, as these may damage the
surfaces of the casing.
Model plate
Note: The model plate contains information concerning the design versions (e.g. information about the filter)
• The model plate is located beside the slider opening in the front profile (see exemplary illustration).

Replacing the air canal and the filter (optional)
• The unit’s air canal consists of foam elements. These must be replaced depending on the degree of contamination.
• Replacement air canals and filters are available from SIEGENIA.
• Be sure to note the arrangement of the internal parts for special models that do not correspond to the illustration.
• The AEROMAT VT can only be opened from “room side”.
• The M5 filters should be replaced if the LED indicator lights up. However, we recommend replacing the filters at least
every 12 months.
• Important: M5 filters must be replaced not cleaned.
• The G3 grit filters should be cleaned or replaced if the LED display lights up. However, we recommend replacing the
filters at least every 12 months.
• Always clean the G3 grit filter manually (e.g. with a vacuum cleaner, wash out using a grease-dissolving cleaning agent).
• After filter replacement, hold down the membrane key for 5 seconds to reset the LED indicator (filter replacement
indicator).
