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. If the unit is left Boost (latching switch)
for longer than 2 hours 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.
10

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.
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.

Condensate Drain
The unit’s Condensation Drain Pipe must be tted and connected to the dwelling’s
foul water drainage system in accordance with the relevant building regulations.
The Condensate Drain:
Is attached via the Condensation Drain Socket on the base of
the unit.
Must incorporate a suitable trap, which must act as an air lock.
Must be adequately secured and be insulated with the equivalent of at least
25mm of insulating material with a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/(mK) if any
part of the pipe passes though an unheated void.
Should be installed to have a minimum 5° fall from the unit.
Titon recommend the use of a diaphragm type waste valve in place of a
conventional‘wet’trap which could dry out. Such as, BRE certicate no. 042/97
‘Hepworth Hepv0 Hygienic self sealing plastic waste valve’recommended as an
alternative to traditional U-Traps.

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. 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).
8. A ducting condensate drain must be tted to vertical To Atmosphere duct
work.
