Important information
Installation and commissioning
Only qualified personnel should carry out installation,
configuration and commissioning. Only a qualified
electrician is allowed to make electrical installations
in accordance with national regulations.
The national standards and regulations dealing with
unit installation, configuration and commissioning
must be followed.
Do not use the ventilation unit until all work that
produces large quantities of dust or other impurities
has been completed.
The duct connections of the ventilation unit must be
covered by lids until it is mounted at its final location.
Make sure that the ventilation unit, filters and ducts
are clean and that there are no loose objects in them
before you commission the ventilation system.
Electrical work and connections
If you carry out voltage tests, measure the electrical
insulation resistance at various points or perform
other remedial measures that could damage sensitive
electronic equipment, you must first isolate the venti-
lation unit from the electrical supply grid.
It is recommended that all Smart ventilation units
should be equipped with a surge protection device
and a residual current circuit breaker. Comply with
local electrical safety regulations.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Drying laundry
A tumbler dryer of extract air type or a drying cabinet
must not be connected to the system due to the high
moisture content in the air it discharges.
Models with water-based air heater
When there is a water-based heater in the ventilation
system the system should be equipped with damper
in outdoor air duct so that the air heater cannot
freeze during a power failure and unit freezing pro-
tection works correctly.
Condensation
The surface temperature of the ventilation unit can
drop down to low during periods of extremely low
outdoor temperature and depending on the moisture
content of the air surrounding the unit, moisture may
condense on the surface. Condensation should be
taken into account when choosing furnishings that
are to be installed in the vicinity of the ventilation
unit.
To open the ventilation unit for service
Always isolate the ventilation unit’s power supply cable
before you open the inspection door! Wait a few min-
utes before you open the inspection door so that the
fans are stopped and electrical heaters are cooled.
There are no components inside the electrical box
that can be serviced by the user. In case of malfunc-
tion, do not restart the ventilation unit before the
cause of the fault is identified and fixed.
Filters
The ventilation unit must not be operated without
filters! Use only original Swegon filters. Find the cor-
rect filter in the section ”Technical data”.
Warranty conditions
Warranty conditions are included in delivery of the
unit as a separate document.

1. General Description
The most important function of the ventilation system
is to ensure clean and fresh indoor air and to remove
moisture. The air in the home should be changed at
a continuous and sufficient rate to ensure a pleasant
indoor climate and avoid damage to building elements
caused by dampness. The ventilation unit should be
stopped only while service work is in progress.
1.1 Enclosure
The ventilation unit conforms to enclosure class IP34
when the cover is closed.
1.2 Fans
The Swegon CASA W5 is equipped with energy-efficient
fans with EC motors, advantageous in that their speed
is variably controllable and their efficiency is high even
when they operate in the lower speed range.
The fans can be controlled in four operating modes
from a Smart control panel or in three operating modes
from a compatible Swegon CASA cooker hood:
• Boost = large airflow is used when the ventilation re-
quirement increases, e.g. for cooking, taking a sauna,
showering or drying laundry.
• Home = normal airflow. Guarantees that there is suf-
ficient fresh indoor air for the home and the building
construction.
• Away = low airflow. Reduces power consumption
when the ventilation requirement in the home is small.
• Travelling = very low air flow and lower supply air
temperature. Used when no one is present in the home.
(Can only be selected from a Smart control panel.)
The unit’s weekly timer has four programs that can
switch in the various fan modes at the preset times.
On the unit with electric reheating, you can also select
the required temperature of the supply air. Even when
the ventilation unit is being controlled with the weekly
timer, it is always possible to change the fan mode from
a control panel or a cooker hood.
You can select an airflow boost time of 30, 60 or 120
minutes or continuous boost from a Smart control pan-
el. When the unit is controlled from a cooker hood, the
fan’s airflow boost time is 60 minutes. You can select a
damper open time of 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
1.3 Filter
The ventilation unit is equipped with supply air filter
according to filter class ISO ePM1 50% (F7) and with
extract air filter according to filter class ISO coarse (G3).
The need of filter replacement is indicated on the con-
trol panel and on a CASA Smart cooker hood.
1.4 Heat exchanger
The counter-flow plate heat exchanger in W5 is manu-
factured with aluminium fins and provides a high degree
of efficiency, up to 85 %. The incoming and outgoing
air flows in a counter-flow plate heat exchanger use
separate channels. Thanks to this the heat exchanger
does not return any odours or any moisture back into
the room air. The heat exchanger can be easily removed
from the unit for inspection and servicing.
1.5 Temperature
The user sets the required value for minimum supply
air temperature, and the ventilation unit then strives to
reach this temperature if possible. Swegon recommends
that the supply air temperature is set between 15–20 °C
and the factory setting is 17 °C, which is sufficient for
draught-free ventilation. The supply air temperature
should be 3–4 °C lower than the room temperature, so
that the supply air mixes fully with the room air.
Remember the following when setting the supply air
temperature:
• A high temperature setting will also increase the
ventilation unit’s power consumption.
• A low temperature setting, for example, 14 °C, can
cause condensation to collect in the system.
• The ventilation unit cannot cool the supply air without an
air cooler (duct coil), which is available as an accessory.
W5’s intelligent summer function helps to maintain the
home’s indoor air comfort even during hot summer days.
Very economical comfort coolness can be produced

almost free of charge by utilising the difference be-
tween indoor and outdoor temperatures and the heat
exchanger intelligently. The heat exchanger takes care
of the cool indoor air during hot summer days and cools
the incoming outdoor air. At night the air passes the heat
exchanger and the home is cooled with fresh outdoor air.
This is managed by an advanced automatic system.
1.6 Protective functions
The heat exchanger’s freeze protection
W5’s defrosting function guarantees continuous and bal-
anced ventilation in the home even during extreme condi-
tions. If there is a risk of the heat exchanger in the ventila-
tion unit freezing, the preheater is activated and the speed
of the fans is changed and in doing so the heated extract
air prevents freezing inside the heat exchanger.
The fans’ overheating protection
The fans have thermal overload cut-outs, which stop
them if the temperature rises too high. The controller
also stops the fans if a serious malfunction occurs in the
ventilation unit. The protective function resets itself au-
tomatically when the temperature drops or the malfunc-
tion has been remedied.
Electric air heater
The electric air heater is equipped with overtemperature
protection. If the overtemperature protection trips, you
must not continue to use the ventilation unit until the
cause of the overtemperature protection tripping has
been established and the fault has been rectified.
An automatic overtemperature protection switches off
the air heater if a fault situation arises. This protective
device automatically resets itself when the air heater has
cooled down.
The thermal overload cut out with manual reset can be
reset by pressing a button inside the ventilation unit. The
acknowledgement buttons are located next to the air
heaters. The buttons are marked in the illustrations below.
When you press the reset buttons and feel a click, the
overtemperature protection (thermal overload cut out) has
then been reset.
Ventilation unit with water-heated air heater
The ventilation unit with water-heated air heater has a
temperature sensor that protects the air heater from freez-
ing. The air heater freezing warning alarm appears on the
screen if the temperature of the water heated air heater
drops too low, but the unit continues to operate normally.
If the air heater’s temperature drops further, the controller
will stop the ventilation unit to prevent the air heater from
freezing. An alarm is then shown on the cooker hood.
When the temperature of the air heater has risen suf-
ficiently, the ventilation unit and panel show a so-called
remaining info-alarm, . The Info alarm can be reset
from “Alarm” on the main menu.
Cold supply air
The ventilation unit has built-in condensation protection
on the ventilation duct. If it is discovered that the supply
air is too cold, the ventilation unit stops and an alarm is
shown the cooker hood.
A = Reset button for the overtemperature protection on the
preheating air heater
B = Reset button for the overtemperature protection on the
reheating air heater
Temperature sensors
If a sensor fault is detected, the ventilation unit enters
restricted mode to prevent damage to the ventilation
unit. The functions related to the current sensor in ques-
tion are deactivated and the ventilation unit works as
well as possible. The ventilation unit’s function returns
to normal once the fault has been corrected.
1.7 Automatic energy saving system
An advanced automatic energy saving system, that
automatically optimises the operation of the ventilation
unit in cold conditions and provides the best possible
efficiency up to energy class A+.
This functionality maximizes the ventilation unit’s annual
energy savings so that the ventilation unit, as seldom as
possible, is in defrost mode (as required). The ventilation
unit then works constantly with the efficiency that is
best for heat recovery. This is achieved using intelligent
algorithms in combination with humidity and tempera-
ture measurements.

2. Installation
2.1 Ventilation unit installation site
The temperature in the installation space for the unit
should be more than +10 °C, and there should be a
drain in the installation space for draining off conden-
sate. The ventilation unit can be installed in a machine
room, storage space, etc.
The ventilation unit should not be secured to a wall that
borders to a living room or a bedroom due to the risk of
noise.
During installation, arrange electric and control cables to
make them easily accessible.
The ventilation unit can be mounted on the wall with
a wall mounting bracket included in the delivery. The
ventilation unit can also be mounted in a ceiling mount-
ing frame or on a base on the floor. The ceiling mounting
frame and the base are accessories that are purchased
separately.
The unit should be mounted as near as possible to a wall
or ceiling. The space between the ventilation unit and the
wall should be insulated so that the sound from the unit
will not be transmitted out through the rear wall.
2.1.1 Wall mounting
Mount the ventilation unit on a wall by means of a wall
mounting bracket which is included in the delivery.
If the wall is composed of vertical studs and wall boards,
the wall must be reinforced with horizontal studs that
will support the weight of the unit. Swegon also recom-
mends that the wall be insulated with mineral wool or
similar insulation for preventing sound from propagat-
ing to other rooms.
Screw the wall mounting firmly in horizontal position
onto the wall where a wall stud will support the weight
of the unit.
Screw the adjustment feet in position on the lower edge
of the rear wall of the ventilation unit before lifting the
unit onto the bracket.
Lift up the ventilation unit onto the wall mounting
bracket so that the bracket lugs engage in the cor-
responding slots at the top on the backside of the
ventilation unit. To make it easier to lift the ventilation
unit, the inspection cover can be removed and the heat
exchanger can be dismantled from the unit. See the
”Servicing” Section.
Finally adjust the position of the ventilation unit using

the adjustment feet, so that the unit tilts backwards by
a few degrees.
2.1.2 Ceiling mounting
The ventilation unit can also be mounted in a ceiling
mounting frame (available as an accessory) on the ceiling.
Fasten the ceiling mounting frame in ceiling anchor
pieces with four size M8 threaded rods. Adjust the
length of rods so that they will extend no more than
30 mm below the inner surface of the ceiling mounting
frame. If they extend further, they will interfere with the
upper section of the ventilation unit. Install at least three
threaded rods in the corners of the ceiling mounting
frame. To avoid a possible collision with the ducts, one
of the threaded rods can be located in the hole next to
the corner. (Threaded rods and nuts accessories are not
included in the delivery.)
Screw in the M8 nuts onto the threaded rods to such a
height that the ceiling mounting frame will be horizon-
tal when the top of the frame goes against the nuts. Fit
the ceiling mounting frame through the selected holes
towards the nuts of the threaded rods and lock the
frame into position with nuts from underneath. Adapt
the installation height so that the locking screws in the
ceiling mounting frame’s front section will extend suf-
ficiently far below the ceiling.
The ceiling mounting frame must not be used as
part of a support structure for the ducts, the duct
support must be sufficient even without the support
effect provided by the ceiling mounting frame.
Before you lift the ventilation unit into position, back
off the two screws at the front of the ceiling mounting
frame so much that the screw heads stick out approx. 2
cm. In addition, route the power supply and data cables
through the ceiling mounting frame.
To make it easier to lift the ventilation unit, the inspec-
tion cover can be removed and the heat exchanger
can be dismantled from the unit. See the ”Servicing”
Section.
Lift the ventilation unit up against the ceiling mounting
frame so that all four locking hooks, which are locate
don top of the ventilation unit, engage into position.
There are two catches on each locking hook. The pur-
pose of the upper one is to secure the ventilation unit to
facilitate connection to the ducts and the wiring of the
electric cables.
Now lift up the ventilation unit onto the lower hooks
when the unit is in the correct position in relation to the
ducts and the power cables have been routed into the
ventilation unit. When the hooks are locked, the spring-
loaded screws of the front section of the ceiling mount-
ing frame extend outward. Finally, lock the ventilation
unit into position by tightening the screws.
Be careful not to press on the screws, because doing
so will disengage the ventilation unit. It is not per-
missible to walk under the ventilation unit during
installation.
2.1.3 Mounting on a base
The ventilation unit can also be mounted on the floor
using a base which is available as an accessory.
The ventilation unit’s base is mounted horizontally by
using the adjuster feet. In order to facilitate lifting the
ventilation unit onto the base, the heat exchanger and
front cover can first be dismantled from the from the
ventilation unit.
Installation of the condensate hose can be done when
the ventilation unit is on the base, by loosening the
front edge that is secured with screws. There are open-
ings for the condensate hose on the sides of the base.

2.2 Condensate discharge
Connect the discharge hose to the ventilation unit’s
condensate discharge connection (3/8” male threads).
The condensate must be channelled to a floor drain,
the water trap of a sink or the equivalent by means of
a tube or a pipe having an inner diameter of at least 12
mm. The tube must not be connected directly to the
sewer. The tube must not have a second water trap or
be run horizontally. The damming height of the water
trap should be at least 100 mm.
Hose to lead off the condensate is included in the deliv-
ery of the ventilation unit. The hose has a ready-made
loop that serves as a water trap.
There is a metal water trap available as an accessory
(UVLL).
2.3 Ducts
Install the ventilation ducts, sound attenuators, sup-
ply air diffusers, air intake grilles and exhaust air ducts
as shown in the ventilation drawings. To prevent the
propagation of sound, do not install the ducts directly
against structural building elements.
Insulate the ventilation ducts in order to reduce loss
of heat or cooling energy and to prevent water from
condensing on surfaces. Any fire protection insulation
for the ducts must be designed according to national
regulations. It is of greatest importance to insulate
cold ducts without gaps in the insulation, so that
moisture cannot condense.
2.4 To seal around duct penetration collars
It is important to the preserve the tightness of the va-
pour barrier at the duct penetration collars. We recom-
mend the use of a mounting frame designed for the
ventilation unit (accessory, P05PP) for sealing the vapour
barrier in the loft ceiling beams.
Cut up the openings with approx. 10 mm smaller diam-
eter than that of the ducts. Secure the mounting frame
in the ceiling with screws through the holes on the
sides. The plastic film of the vapour barrier should either
be stretched and fastened between the mounting frame
and the structural element of the building, or be taped
tightly against the mounting frame.
The thickness of the insulation and the nature of the
surface layer of the ventilation ducts vary depending on
insulation material, climate zone and national standards
in force. For this reason, Swegon does not offer any rec-
ommendations for insulation thickness. Most manufac-
turers of insulation material offer calculation programs
for the calculation of sufficient and correct insulation.
In renovation projects, it is advisable to examine the
existing ducts to determine whether they are sufficiently
and correctly insulated. Insulating in the right way is
necessary for the ventilation unit to operate correctly. If
the ducts are uninsulated, even across a small area,
there is a high degree of risk of condensation and
indirect damage.
The supply air duct should be fitted with acoustic insula-
tion along the stretch between the unit duct outlet and
the sound attenuator, so that fan sound will not be
propagated out into the room.
Important
Check whether the ventilation unit has
been supplied in the right-hand or left-
hand version to make certain that you are
connecting the ventilation ducts to the
correct duct connection spigots on the unit.
Check the ventilation plans to make sure
that the duct connections are correctly in-
stalled. See also the dimensional drawings
in the Section entitled: “Technical data”.

2.5 Electric and control cables
A 1.5 m long cable with earthed plug-in contact is fitted
to the ventilation unit for measuring the voltage. The
cable extends from the top of the unit. The mains plug
serves as the ventilation unit’s main switch and it should
be connected to an electric socket at an easily acces-
sible spot. For power required, see the Section entitled:
“Technical data”.
There is an earthing point on the top surface of the
ventilation unit body.
On top of the ventilation unit are two modular cables for
control of the unit. The maximum connected length of the
modular cable in the system is 40 metres. If you lengthen
the modular cable within some building element (e.g. in
a wall), you should lengthen the cable in a ∅ 20 mm con-
duit, anticipating a possible later change of cabling.
When installing the unit, make sure that you provide
adequate access to the cable connector, e.g. for servic-
ing and adjusting the unit, if and when the need arises.
In multi-storey buildings, a control panel can be used as
a so-called hand-held micro terminal in conjunction with
service and installation work.
Any accessories are either connected to the ventilation
unit’s four-way connector (2 optional functions) or to
the external connection modules (3 optional functions).
Cables are routed via the lead-through openings in the
top of the ventilation unit. The connection of any acces-
sories is described in the section “External connections”.
Cables to connection modules and accessories are not
included in the supply.
In general, ventilation ducts should be insulated in the
following manner:
• Insulate outdoor air ducts run through warm spaces.
• Exhaust air ducts should always be insulated in ac-
cordance with national regulations. See separate pro-
ject planning instructions (for example Fire resistance
classification requirements).
• Insulate supply air ducts in cold spaces.
• Insulate extract air ducts in cold spaces.
• If the air inside the duct is colder than in the sur-
roundings; the insulation should be protected by a
vapour barrier.
Important
Even small gaps in the insulation impair the
sound attenuation and bring about a risk of
condensation and consequential damages.
!!
Important
Before commissioning the ventilation sys-
tem, check that the ventilation unit, filters,
condensation drain and ducts are clean and
that there are no loose objects inside them.
The ventilation ducts should be cleaned
regularly and always when the home is
renovated.
!!
Important
It is absolutely forbidden to operate the
ventilation system during the construction
period or if dust-raising work is carried out.
Before installing the unit, the ducts should
be blanked off with covers to prevent the
entry of impurities.
!!
Important
If any further electrical wiring is required,
only a qualified electrician shall be allowed
to carry out this work.
The electric and control cables are located
on the upper side of the ventilation unit.
Make sure that the electric cable can be con-
nected to a wall outlet without obstruction.

2.6 Installation of the Smart control panel
A maximum of two Smart control panels can be con-
nected to the ventilation unit, with different mutual ID
numbers. A 20 metre long modular cable is included to
connect the control panel. Run the cable to the desired
place where the panel will be mounted. A Smart control
panel can be mounted up to 40 metres from the unit
(using 2 x 20 metre long modular cables).
The front panel on the Smart control panel is released
using a screwdriver to push the retaining clips through
the holes on either side.
If several control panels are connected in chain, the
middle panel’s bus termination is moved to the “Open”
position. The jumpers do not need to be adjusted if only
one control panel is used.
The modular cable connected to any outlet socket on
the panel.
Finally, refit the front panel.

3.1 Air flows
Sizing curves for air flows are set out in the section
“Technical data”. A qualified person should set the ven-
tilation unit’s and the ventilation equipment’s air flows
with the help of measurement equipment so that they
correspond with the ventilation plan.
All basic air flows must be set so that the ventila-
tion unit operates correctly! Enter the settings in the
commissioning protocol.
In new homes, there is still construction moisture and the
house initially requires higher ventilation in order to remove
the moisture from the building. A great deal of moisture
in the home manifest itself in the form of moisture on cold
surfaces. We recommend that in new houses to use higher
volumes of air at first to remove moisture.
It is recommended in order to improve the efficiency of
the ventilation to use an automatic moisture sensor or
to actively use the ventilation unit’s boost speed, if there
is a sauna, pool or equivalent moisture producer in the
home.
3.1.1 Setting the basic air flows
Before you start to adjust the air flows, ensure that the
filters are clean and that there are no foreign objects or
debris inside the ventilation unit.
3. Commissioning
Choose commissioning mode when the ventilation
unit’s fans run at the speed being set and functions that
can disrupt the setting, such as anti-freeze protection,
are disabled.

3.1.2 Travelling
You can reduce ventilation unit’s power consumption
by using the “Travelling” function, when the home is
empty for long periods, among others by reducing the
ventilation. Set the supply air flow to “Travelling” mode.
The extract air flow is determined automatically based
on the basic air flows.
3.1.3 Maximum automatic boost
Automatic functions boost the ventilation as required all
the way up to the maximum automatic boost. The func-
tions can be limited by reducing the value.
3.2 Commissioning external equipment
External equipment can be connected to the ventilation
unit’s configurable I/O connections (connection instruc-
tions can be found in the section “Technical data”). You
can connect two optional inputs to the ventilation unit’s
circuit board and to the SEC/SEM expansion modules,
which are available as accessories, you can connect
three. The connection of an external duct mounted air
Important
Set the air flows in accordance with national
regulations when you commission the ven-
tilation system. The system should be com-
missioned by a qualified person, and the air
flows must not be changed on one’s own
responsibility, since doing so could disrupt
the way the ventilation system operates.

air limit determines the supply air’s minimum tempera-
ture. If you change the value, you must take the risk of
condensation on the pipes into consideration.
By changing the value Boost limit value room temp. dur-
ing AC boost you can determine at which room tem-
perature the ventilation shall start to variably boost.
Selecting Hood boost allows you to operate the damper
on a compatible cooker hood to the open position to
boost cooling.
Selecting In use in Away mode allows you to determine
whether ventilation boosting will be permitted in Away mode.
3.3.3 Cooker hood function
The cooker hood function balances the ventilation when
the cooker fan is used to help prevent excessive negative
pressure and improves fume extraction capability of the
cooker hood. This function enables you to boost the venti-
lation if necessary. The function starts automatically when
the damper in a Swegon CASA cooker hood is opened or
for a cooker hood defined I/O input (IO-control) receives
the signal and runs until the damper is closed.
The function is put into service from the Settings/Smart
functions/Cooker hood boost menu. The settings menu
is opened when the function is put into service.

3.3.2 Summer mode
Summer mode bypasses the ventilation unit’s heat
exchanger when it needs to cool and the outdoor air is
colder than the room air. You then get cool outdoor air
in the room.
The heat exchanger takes care of the cool indoor air
during hot summer days. The capacity in summer mode
can be selected from a quick menu, and the ventilation
unit will then automatically determine the cooling.
If you wish to set the function’s settings in more detail,
you select “User” mode on the settings menu.

problems occur with the chimney draught when lighting
the fire, the percentage value can be increased slightly
from the default value.
Use of the fireplace function repeatedly in extreme cold
can cause freezing in the ventilation unit.
3.3.6 Automatic Home/Away/Boost system
The function is available only on models equipped with a car-
bon dioxide sensor. The automatic control system controls
the ventilation strength variably according to the carbon
dioxide level in the home.
This function should always be set in conjunction with
commissioning.
The function can be activated and set from the Settings/
Smart Functions/Home/Away/Automatic Boost menu.

defining the limits values Home and Away. A suitable
Home limit value can be determined by reading the
“A+now” value from the menu when a normal number
of people are in the home. Similarly you can determine
the Away limit value by reading the “A+now” value
when the property has been empty for several hours.
3.3.7 Automatic humidity system
The function is available only on models equipped with
a humidity sensor. The function is put into service from
the ”Smart-functions” menu. The function boosts the
ventilation variably based on the moisture load caused
by people, for example, increased moisture load in the
home due to showering. If the home’s moisture level (RH)
remains above 60 % for a long period, we recommend
that the ventilation is boosted and that a check is made of
the moisture source.
The function can be activated and set from the Settings/
Smart Functions/Auto RH control menu.
Compensation (home). Set the Home mode’s com-
pensation value so that the air flows are kept as set out
in the ventilation plan.
Compensation (boost). Fine tune Boost mode’s com-
pensation value if necessary.

(supply air %), for example, to achieve sufficient dis-
charge velocity or odour extraction.
Choose Roof fan when using a cooker hood whose
extract air does not pass through the ventilation unit.
Compensation is now achieved by slowing the extract
air fan and the cooker hood only controls the roof fan.
Also see the section “Commissioning external equipment”.
When the outdoor air is very cold, you can lower the
supply air fan’s speed so that the supply air temperature
does not drop too much.
3.3.4 Central vacuum function
The central vacuum function helps to balance the
ventilation when using a central vacuum cleaner, which
prevents excessive negative pressure and improves the
cleaning result. A switching signal can be connected
to the ventilation unit’s signal input (IO-control) so that
the function is activated automatically when the central
vacuum is started.
The function can also be started from a Smart control pan-
el, the function then runs until the set time has elapsed.
The function’s settings can be adjusted from the
Settings/Smart Functions/Central vacuum boost menu.

The “Operating time” setting is used to state how
long a function started from Smart functions should be
enabled (maximum 120 minutes). You can adjust the
function's effectiveness using the compensation setting
(max 50 %).
3.3.5 Fireplace function
The smart fireplace function facilitates lighting the fire
and ensures clean combustion. Problems caused by too
little draught in an open fireplace usually occur in the
autumn, when the temperature difference between the
indoor and outdoor air is slight and the chimney is cold.
The Fireplace function attempts to give a temporary
positive pressure in the home when the fireplace is lit,
without changing the fan speeds. After the first phase
passes the fireplace function switches to maintenance
mode and compensates the need of combustion air. The
function can be cancelled from the control panel.
The function can be started from Smart functions or by
enabling the I/O input intended for the fireplace func-
tion (IO-control). The function runs for the set time and
can also be stopped from a Smart control panel.

The ventilation starts to be boosted variably when the
extract air’s humidity has risen as much as the Boost
limit value. The Full boost limit value is used to set at
which humidity value in the extract air that full boost is
reached. Boost increases when the value decreases.
If you put automatic Sauna limit into service, the ven-
tilation is boosted with the set value during the sauna.
This function prevents any disruptive variations in the
fan speeds while the sauna is working.
3.3.8 Automatic air quality control
The function is available only on models equipped with
automatic air quality. Automatic air quality boosts the
ventilation variably according to the indoor air quality.
This function should always be set in conjunction with
commissioning.
The function can be activated and set from the Settings/
Smart Functions/Auto air quality control menu. NOTE!

3.3.9 Temperature boost
Temperature boost is available if an air heater has been
installed in the system, which is available as an acces-
sory, and if you have set room air as the control method
on the “Heating/cooling” method. The function boosts
the air flow so that the required room temperature is
reached.

3.4 Heating/cooling
Commissioning and setting of the heating and cooling
equipment connected to the ventilation unit are per-
formed from this menu. Detailed instructions are sup-
plied together with accessories. As the factory setting,
the ventilation unit normally has internal post heating
that is controlled based on the supply air during the
heating season (post heating’s outdoor air limit). The
setting value for the supply air can be decreased in the
“Away” and “Travelling” operating modes.

measured with a separate thermometer deviates from
the temperature shown by the ventilation unit.
Important
Turning off the internal post heating or
lowering the limit value for the outdoor
temperature is not recommended, due to
the risk of condensation.

Important
The ventilation unit must not be operated
without filters! Use only filters recom-
mended by Swegon in the ventilation unit.
Find the correct filter in the Section enti-
tled: ”Technical data”.
!!
4.1 Service reminder
The service reminder is activated with preset time inter-
vals and the symbol is displayed on the control panel’s
screen. As a factory setting, the service reminder is not
in operation. It can be put into operation under the
main menu item “Diagnostics”/”Service reminder”. The
recommended service interval for the ventilation unit is
six months.
When servicing has been performed, the service remind-
er is reset from “Alarm” in the main menu.
4.2 To open the ventilation unit
Before you begin any service work, isolate the power
supply voltage to the ventilation unit by pulling out its
electric plug from the wall socket. Wait a few minutes
before you open the inspection door of the ventilation
unit so that the fans have time to stop and possible air
heaters have time to cool down.
The inspection door can be opened by turning the lock
bolt with a screw driver for slotted screw heads. Support
the top edge of the door with one hand when you open
the lock bolt. Tilt the top edge outwards, towards you,
and then lift the door away from its place. The door
weighs about 11 kg.
Turn the service switch to the 0-position prior to com-
mencing servicing.
4.3 Filter
The filters should be replaced at least every six months.
The filters may need to be cleaned or replaced more often
in homes where there is considerable dust or if there are
many impurities in the outdoor air.
In a new home, there is still moisture from the construc-
tion period, and the filters can become soiled more quickly
than usual. The first filter change should therefore be
made approximately three months after the ventilation unit
was commissioned.
The ventilation unit must not be operated without filters.
Use only filters recommended by Swegon in the ventila-
tion unit. This is important, as filters with exactly the same
appearance and size can have very different pressure losses
and filter capacity. If an incorrect filter is used, it is not cer-
tain that the ventilation unit will work as designed. Check
in the list of components that you have selected correct
filters.
4.4 Heat exchanger
You should check the condition of the heat exchanger
whenever you service the unit.
Pull out the heat exchanger’s sealing plate from the ven-
tilation unit. You can now pull out the heat exchanger
for inspection. Do not damage the heat exchanger fins.
Make sure that the passages through the heat ex-
changer rotor are not clogged and clean them e.g. with
4. Service running warm water if required. Never use cleaning
agents. The passages of the heat exchanger should
be dry before you reinstall the heat exchanger in
the unit.
4.5 Fans
The ventilation unit’s fans must be checked at least
every two years.
You must remove the preheater from the ventilation unit
before the supply air fans are loosened. The preheater is
secured in the ventilation unit with three screws.
The fan packages are secured with four screws, placed
in the corners of the mounting plate. When the screws
are loosened, you can pull out the fan package from
the ventilation unit. Exercise care not to damage the fan
cables.
Clean the fans with a soft brush or cloth if necessary. Be
careful not to dislocate the impeller balancing weights.
If significant amounts of dirt collect on the fan impeller
cleaning should be left to a professional.
The fans are reinstalled by sliding them back into place
and tightening the screws in the corners of the mount-
ing plate. The preheater is refitted in position with three
screws.
The ventilation unit’s fans must be loosened
from their locations and protected, for example,
with plastic bags, while the ventilation ducts are
cleaned.
4.6 Other servicing
Clean the inner surfaces of the ventilation unit by
vacuum cleaning or with a damp cloth, if needed.
Check that dirt has not collected on the surfaces of the
air heater/coolers, clean if necessary.
Check that the condensate discharge outlet is not
clogged and check its outflow by pouring water on
the bottom of the ventilation unit. The condensate
discharge connection is located on the rear of the unit
under the rotary heat exchanger.
Check that the ventilation unit works normally and that
no alarms are shown on the screen or on the cooker
hood.

If the ventilation unit controlled by a cooker hood mal-
functions, all signal lamps on the cooker hood’s front
glass light three times at one minute intervals. Contact
an authorised service company.
5.2 Alarm, control panel
Any disruptions to the function of the ventilation unit are
indicated by symbols on the upper row of the base dis-
play. If there is an active alarm in the system, the screen
leaves its standby mode and does not enter standby
mode again as long as the alarm is active. The symbol for
an active alarm is . The condition that has caused the
alarm is shown by the “Alarm” item on the main menu.
A so-called info-alarm remains on the screen when the
active fault condition ceases. The Info alarm can be
reset from “Alarm” on the main menu.
5.3 Troubleshooting
A ventilation system is a unified whole composed
of several system components all of which influence
how the system operates. A malfunction in ventilation
performance could be caused by any component of the
ventilation system or by the way the system has been
installed. If during the ventilation unit’s warranty period
(2 years) after a check (see the enclosed check list) there
are functional disruptions in the ventilation unit, you can
register these using the response form at the address
www.casahelp.fi. There are also instructions, service
