3. product description
The KST-20 Vento is a climate control with "aH-
Controlled" technology for demand-oriented
ventilation of private, commercial and industrial
rooms of all kinds.
By means of the connected sensors the climatic
conditions in the inside and outside area are
determined and compared. According to the
measured climatic conditions and the desired
operating mode (dehumidification, cooling,
ventilation), the unit controls supply air and exhaust
air elements in a controlled manner. Additional
dehumidification, drying or cooling systems can also
be controlled.
Due to the integrated device functions and the large
number of connectable devices, such as fans,
window openers, louvre dampers, condensation
dryers etc., the KST-20 Vento can be used flexibly in
almost all living, working and industrial areas.
3.1. Technical specifications
•Power supply: 230V AC
•Protection class: IP 65
•Dimensions in mm (LxWxH): 160 x 90 x 50
•Separate connections for 230 V supply and
exhaust air elements up to maximum 500 W
•0…10 V control outputs (alternative to230 V)
•Operating and surrounding conditions:

Further technical specifications can be found in the
product-specific data sheet on our website
https://zila.de/.
3.2. Standards and Regulations
The KST-20 Vento climate control system complies
with the EMC directive 2014/30/EU under
consideration of the following standards:
•EN 55014-1
•EN 55014-2
•EN 61000-6-2
3.3. aH-Controlled Technology
The basic principle of ZILA climate control systems
is based on the comparison of the water vapour
content of indoor and outdoor air.
The water vapor content is described by the
absolute humidity (aH = absolute Humidity) and
represents a dimension for the "actual" humidity in
the air. The comparison of the absolute humidity of
indoor and outdoor climate ensures that humid air
is removed from rooms and only drier outdoor air is
introduced.
"aH-Controlled" stands for the automated
determination of suitable times for switching on the
supply air and exhaust air elements by the climate
control system, takes the climatic conditions inside
and outside the building into account.
The climate control system controls the most
common single-stage, two-stage and speed-
controlled fans as well as motor-driven window
openers and ventilation louvres fully automatically.
aH-Controlled ensures a healthy building and a good
indoor climate and also works extremely energy-
efficiently, as the building is only ventilated when it
is necessary and air exchange is useful.
3.4. Operating modes
With the KST-20 Vento you can choose between
three operating modes: dehumidification,
ventilation according to DIN 1946-6 and cooling.
Note:
To avoid failures and for optimum
control behaviour of the KST-20
Vento climate control system, the
actuator system suitable for the
respective operating mode must be
used.
3.4.1. Dehumidifying (E)
The KST-20 Vento climate control system is suitable
in dehumidifying mode for mould prevention and

Climate Controller KST-20 Vento | KST-20 Vento/CO2 | KST-20 Vento/RN
Handbook Version: ENG_05052020_ANHU_KST20VENTO| 6
building protection as well as for maintaining a
comfortable climate.
Controlled dehumidification is based on the
comparison of absolute humidity. In this process,
moist room air is exchanged with drier outside air.
During normal operation, the following climate
information is shown on the display:
•Relative humidity indoor/outdoor (rHi, rHa)
•Temperature inside/outside (Ti, Ta)
•Absolute humidity inside/outside (aHi,aHa)
The KST-20 Vento starts room dehumidification as
soon as the absolute outside humidity is lower than
the absolute inside humidity (aHinside < aHoutside). The
room is dehumidified in a ventilation cycle
consisting of an active and a passive phase. The fan
is switched on in the active phase. During the
passive phase, the fan is off and the room air
contaminated with moisture can mix with the
supplied drier outside air. This permanent shock
ventilation ensures efficient room dehumidification
as long as the climatic conditions aHinside < aHoutside
are fulfilled. A ventilation cycle for both the active
and passive phases lasts 10 minutes. Depending on
the type of fan, there are different possibilities for
speed control.
Further information:
For information on the factory
settings, refer to the "Factory
settings" chapter
dehumidification by 1-stage fans
The KST-20 Vento works as an intelligent power
switch and controls the active and passive phases of
1-stage fans.
Dehumidification with 2-stage fans
2-stage fans can be operated at either a reduced or
an increased speed during the active phase. The
KST-20 Vento switches on the second stage if the
following climatic conditions are given:
aHinside > aHoutside+5g/m³.
Dehumidification with speed-controlled fans
Speed-controlled fans are operated within the two
adjustable limits "minimum speed" (DZMIN) and
"maximum speed" (DZMAX). The speed
corresponds to the control voltage in percent. The
lower limit DZMIN starts by default at aHinside >
aHoutside +0,2g/m³. The upper speed limit DZMAX is
activated at aHinside > aHoutside+10g/m³. In between,
the output of the control voltage is linear.

Climate Controller KST-20 Vento | KST-20 Vento/CO2 | KST-20 Vento/RN
Handbook Version: ENG_05052020_ANHU_KST20VENTO| 7
Definition of the speed:
The speed is defined at the
beginning of an active phase and is
maintained during this phase.
Therefore,
the speed is only
adjusted again with a new active
phase.
Dehumidification with electric window openers
Since motor-driven window openers only allow a
limited number of switching operations, with this
type of dehumidification the supply air and exhaust
air elements remain switched on until the absolute
humidity outside is no longer lower than inside.
Electric window openers:
The electrical control of window
openers is different from that of
the actuators mentioned above.
To avoid
malfunctions, it is
essential to observe the
corresponding circuit diagram
and the correct actuator selection
for the operating mode.
ATTENTION
A ventilation interval does not take place if the
temperature falls below the set frost protection
temperature or the dry protection humidity.
Further information:
Further information on dry and frost
protection can be found in section
3.5 „Comfort functions“
Restricted use in case of defects in
building physics.
In the case of defects in building
physics, water often penetrates
through walls and the floor into the
affected room. In such cases, the
KST-
20 Vento climate control
system can be used as a supplement
for dehumidification.
The unit supports the drying of
masonry by means of a controlled
air exchange, but cannot achieve
complete dehumidification on its
own.
3.4.2. Ventilation (L)
For living spaces, the device can be used in
accordance with DIN standard 1946-6.
The KST-20 Vento climate control system then
controls two-stage and speed-controlled fans in the
basic ventilation and in an increased ventilation.
The connection of 2-stage or speed-controlled fans
is necessary for this.
Interruption of the basic
ventilation.
Basic ventilation can only be
interrupted by pressing the PAUSE
key on the air conditioning control.
Ventilation with 1-stage fans
Ventilation with 1-stage fans is not supported.
Ventilation with 2-stage fans
The climate control KST-20 Vento always controls
the ventilation fans in the first stage (basic
ventilation).
The increased ventilation stage sets in if aHinside >
aHoutside + ∆aH and if the relative humidity in the
interior is higher than the desired or target humidity
(rHinside> rfw).

Climate Controller KST-20 Vento | KST-20 Vento/CO2 | KST-20 Vento/RN
Handbook Version: ENG_05052020_ANHU_KST20VENTO| 8
∆aH stands for the minimum distance between the
absolute humidity inside and outside. The default
value is 5g/m³.
The desired humidity describes a desired humidity
level in the concerned room, which must be
maintained by the climate control system. The input
range is between 40% and 60% of the relative
humidity. This can be adjusted in 5% steps.
Ventilation with speed-controlled fans
In basic ventilation, the KST-20 Vento climate
control system controls the speed-controlled fans at
the minimum speed (DZMIN). To reach the
maximum speed, the climatic condition aHinside =
aHoutside+10g/m³ must be fulfilled.
In between, the speed is controlled linearly
depending on the climatic conditions.
Basic ventilation only continues with DZMIN until
the desired humidity is reached or the absolute
humidity inside is lower than the absolute humidity
outside.
3.4.3. Cooling (K)
By simply adjusting the configuration parameters,
the device becomes a temperature-dependent
cooling control for factory and production halls,
server rooms and many other sensitive electrical
systems.
cooling with 1-stage fans
In cooling mode, natural ventilation starts when the
adjustable internal temperature limit (cooling TSP)
is exceeded. When the ventilation is switched on,
the temperature inside the room must be higher
than the temperature limit and the outside
temperature must be at least 2°C colder than the
inside temperature.
Control of cooling aggregates
In the case that Tinside > Cooling-TSP is given, but the
difference to the outside temperature Ta>Ti-2°C
does not apply, it is possible to operate a cooling
unit in combination with a single-stage or speed-
controlled fan at the second output of the climate
control.
Cooling with 2-stage fans
If 2-stage fans are connected, the second stage is
switched on if the following climatic conditions are
given:
Tinside > Toutside+5°C.

Climate Controller KST-20 Vento | KST-20 Vento/CO2 | KST-20 Vento/RN
Handbook Version: ENG_05052020_ANHU_KST20VENTO| 9
Cooling with speed-controlled fans
When speed-controlled fans are used, the control is
carried out between the two adjustable limit values
DZMIN and DZMAX as a percentage value of the
control voltage (0-10VDC).
If the condition Tinside > Toutside+2° is given, the speed-
controlled fan is activated with the minimum speed
(DZMIN). If Tinside = Toutside+9°C the fan is operated at
full speed (DZMAX).
In between, the speed is controlled linearly
depending on the temperature conditions.
3.5. Comfort functions
Integrated time switch
With the integrated timer, active times for the
ventilation units can be set. In this way, the
ventilation remains switched on in the specified
time window regardless of the climatic conditions.
Frost protection
The frost protection function prevents the
monitored room from cooling down too much due
to ventilation when outside temperatures are close
to freezing point. For this purpose, a temperature is
set for the outside area at which the climate control
dispenses with ventilation cycles, even if the
climatic conditions would allow ventilation.
•Standard setting: 3°C
•Input range between 0-5°C in 1% steps
The frost protection function can be deactivated by
setting the value to 99.
Dry protection
Too dry room air disturbs the well-being. Dust and
other particles cannot be bound without sufficient
humidity.
The dry protection function ensures that the
humidity in the monitored room remains at a
healthy level for people and the building.
For this purpose, a desired humidity in the range
between 40% and 60% of the relative humidity can
be set in 5% steps in the control menu.
4. assembly and commissioning
