Filter Covers
The units are tted with removable lter covers on the front panel.
Auto Setback Speed
Setback Speed is used to reduce ventilation rates. Setback Speed is automatically
set at the mid point between minimum possible Continuous Speed and the
selected Continuous Speed. The Setback Speed can be enabled by connection of a
volt free one-way switch, or combined with the Boost Speed with the 3 position
switch TP 508.
Continuous Speed
Continuous Speed is the normal continuous extract and supply air ow running
speed of the units.
Boost Speed with Overrun Timer
Boost Speed increases the extract and supply air ow. Boost Speed is congured
with Step-less independent fan controls and includes an Overrun Timer variable
between 0 and 60 minutes. The Boost Speed can be triggered by any device which
provides a volt free one-way switch, such as a PIR, thermostat, humidistat or a
standard one-way switch.
auralite® Boost Alert
Boost Alert is a timer designed to prevent the HRV being inadvertently left in Boost
for long periods of time. Once the HRV is placed in Boost the timer is started and
after 2 hours Boost Alert will be activated. This is indicated by the Boost LED on the
auralite® Indicator Panel ashing. Once Boost Alert has been activated the Overrun
Timer is disabled meaning the HRV will return to Continuous Speed as soon as the
switch holding the unit in Boost is released.

11
Summer Bypass
Summer Bypass is designed to operate during hot periods where fresh air can be
vented straight into the property without being preheated by the extracted stale
air. Summer Bypass operation is automatically controlled. The Summer Bypass
mechanism diverts the stale air being extracted from the dwelling around the heat
cell so that its heat energy is not transferred to the fresh air being supplied to the
property.
SUMMERboost®
An optional SUMMERboost® facility is available that congures both the supply
and extract fans to run at full speed whenever the Summer Bypass is activated.
SUMMERboost® can be congured to trigger either manually or automatically:
Manual - This is by means of a volt-free switch wired directly into the controller PCB
Automatic - This is by means of a dedicated wall mounted room thermostat. In
this conguration, the SUMMERboost® will only operate when the temperature
within the room has exceeded the dedicated thermostat setting. Should the
room temperature fall below the thermostat setting, then SUMMERboost® will not
operate.

12
Automatic Frost Protection
During very cold weather, Automatic Frost Protection will detect temperatures that
could form ice inside the unit. It will reduce the supply ventilation rate to prevent
ice build up within the heat cell. Automatic Frost Protection reduces the ow rate of
cold air, thus allowing the warmer stale air to raise the temperature within the heat
cell to such a level that prevents the formation of ice. As internal temperatures rise
Automatic Frost Protection will increase the supply ventilation ow rate back to the
commissioned settings.
Integrated Humidity Sensor
Units are tted with an Integrated Humidity Sensor. This continuously monitors
the relative humidity (RH) of the extracted air and triggers Boost Speed when the
relative humidity rises over the set threshold. The Humidity Sensor’s trigger point
is variable from 55%RH to 85%RH and is congured using step-less independent
potentiometer.

6. Ducting should be insulated where it passes through unheated areas and
voids with the equivalent of at least 25 mm of a material having a thermal
conductivity of ≤0.04 W/(m.K) to reduce the possibility of condensation
forming. Where a duct extends externally above roof level the section above
the roof should be insulated or a condensate trap should be tted just below
roof level.
7. Ducts within the building heated envelope between the external terminals and
the unit’s From Atmosphere and To Atmosphere ports should be insulated and
wrapped additionally with a vapour barrier outside the insulation.
8. Where ducts pass through re barriers, they must be appropriately re stopped
in accordance with the requirements of Part B of the Building Regulations (for
England & Wales).
9. A ducting condensate drain must be tted to vertical To Atmosphere duct
work.
10. Ducting must be installed in such a way that resistance to airow is minimised.
11. Ducting connected to the From Atmosphere & To Atmosphere ports, must be
to the external air outside the building envelope.
12. All ducting joints including those to the HRV Q Plus unit’s Duct Ports must be
permanently sealed with tape and/or an appropriate non-hardening sealant
and/or Jubilee clips or similar. Do not distort ducting or Duct Ports by over
tightening clips.
13. A minimum distance of 2m exists between the external supply and exhaust
terminals.
14. Units have temperature sensors tted to ports marked with a Caution label.
DO NOT insert duct into the duct ports. If ducting is inserted the sensor
readings will be adversely eected compromising the units performance and
could aect the product warranty.
