Ventilation icon
This symbol will show when the roof space temperature is inadequate to heat your house to the ideal temperature and the system has reduced fan speeds to very low levels to ventilate the house. This is needed to make sure air is still moving through the house and condensation and moisture is controlled. All numbers and arrows will be green at this point. -
Ventilation setting
This shows the level of ventilation for your home. Levels range from 1- 6 (1 being less air and 6 being more air). To set this level accurately in winter, start at 6 and lower the setting until condensation appears, then raise up one level again. -
Roof temperature
Current temperature inside your roof cavity. -
Heat exchange symbol
When this symbol is active the system is recovering energy from the house. -
House arrows
Arrows indicate the direction of air flow into, out of, or around the house. Colour indicates if warm (red), cool (blue) or ventilating at very low level fan speeds (green) -

WI-FI SETUP
The Wi-Fi setup screen can be accessed from the home screen by using
Menu/Previous/Advanced/ Wi‑Fi Setup.
After touching “Wi-Fi Setup” this screen will appear with the “Wi-Fi:” saying
“Not connected”, if the router has not been connected yet:
Please note down the Product ID now, as it’s required to register the mobile
app and will need to be recorded in your customer record.
You now have two options to connect the Wi-Fi.
Some routers have a WPS feature, which allows an automatic connection from a
Wi-Fi device to the router. There is usually a button on the router to enable
WPS connecting. Touch the “WPS Connect” button on the touchscreen display.
Additional instructions will be displayed. Go to the router and push
the WPS button on the router. Once the router is in WPS mode return to the
touchscreen display and touch “Continue”.
If the router does not support WPS, then you can connect manually.This
function is very similar to connecting a mobile phone to Wi-Fi.
Touch the “Manual Connect” button. Scanning will be displayed in the title and
then after a delay this screen will appear (note, in some rare cases, this can
take up to a minute the first time):
The routers in the list will be different to the ones displayed above as they
are the 5 strongest Wi-Fi signals found near to the touchscreen display. This
screen will refresh every 10 seconds, so if the router you arelooking for does
not appear, wait for the next scan. Select the one you want to connect to and
then this screen
will appear:
Check that you have selected the correct router SSID. There are five security
levels (“OPEN”, “WEP”, “WPA_PSK”, “WPA2_PSK”, “WPA_WPA2_PSK”). If the security
shown is “OPEN”, then touching the “Connect” button, should complete the
connection and you can go to page 3. If it is not “OPEN”, then touch the
“Enter Password” button to see the password screen shown below.
Enter the password for the router you are connecting to, and then touch the
“Connect” button. If you find the
buttons a bit small for your fingers, you can use a blunt pointed instrument
to push the buttons, like a tablet stylus or a finger nail or a knitting
needle or the edge of a ball point pen, with the ink part retracted.
WARNING: using too sharp an instrument may damage the display and void the warranty.After a delay, the display will now change back to the first screen shown with Wi-Fi and Cloud status showing “Please wait…”If successful, the Wi-Fi status will show “Connected”, and the cloud service will show “Available”, as shown below:
Congratulations, you are now connected to the Wi-Fi and the HRV cloud.
If for some reason you do not connect, then double check your password and
repeat the procedure above.
Note, for the cloud status to show “Available”, your router must have an
internet connection.
SUB MENUS
MENU: Press the menu button on the front screen to enter the sub menus.
Further options are available in these sub menus.
Menu Options
- Max Fan – these are advanced options for operating Max Fan mode.
- Quick Options – this allows access to three main options – Season Detection, turning on / off the Air Transfer Kit and Summer Kit.
- Night Mode – holds set temperature at 18 degrees for 4 hours, cooling the house when the roof cavity temperature is lower than the house interior. After 4 hours it returns the temperature back to its original setting.
- Ventilation Level – allows ventilation setting adjustment. At different times of the year, more or less air is needed to clear condensation in your house. Your system uses these levels when roof cavity temperature is too cool to heat, but the house still needs air to get rid of condensation. Higher levels will bring more cold air into a house. A balance is needed between condensation clearing and reducing the amount of cold air into the house, dependant on each house. Adjust to suit. Spring, summer, autumn: Lower ventilation levels (1 – 3). Winter: Higher ventilation levels (3 – 6).
- Clock settings – allows clock adjustment.
- Display settings – adjust minor screen modifications such as brightness and contrast.
- Advanced – allows access to advanced user functions and information such as setting your kWh cost, Wi-Fi set-up, new filter requests & software updates.
- About your HRV – displays information about your HRV system model.
FAQ
Where can I get more information on my system?
Our customer service team are more than happy to help – give them a call on
0800 HRV 123 (0800 478 123). If you would like information on any of our
additional products, please refer to our website.
I’ve had my HRV system for a while – why do I have a black ring around my
outlet vent?
In some houses the air passing out of ceiling outlets will cause a static
charge to build up. This can cause household dust inside the room to become
attracted to the charge. Simply wipe away the dust ring with a dry cloth, then
open the diffuser plate of the vent a little further to help stop this from
recurring. If this persists call us to arrange a visit from one of our
customer service team.
My ‘filter replacement’ light is on, what does this mean?
This icon provides an approximate timeline for your system’s service and filter
change. We recommend that filters are replaced with a new genuine HRV filter
every two years to ensure the performance of your HRV system isn’t compromised
and you continue to get the best from your system.
What do the ventilation levels on my keypad mean?
At different times of the year more or less air is needed to clear
condensation in your house. Higher levels will bring more cold air into a
house. A balance between condensation clearing and reducing the amount of cold
air allowed into a house is needed dependant on each house. Adjust to suit:
spring, summer and autumn: lower ventilation levels (1 – 3). Winter: higher
ventilation levels (3 – 6).
My HRV is working great, but I still get condensation occasionally on some
windows – why is this?
Even though your home is now dry, cold or damp weather conditions may still
lead to some misty windows – certainly far less than what you would have had
without your HRV. No system can guarantee zero condensation but rest assured
your HRV is getting you as close as possible.
