BRINK Co2 Sensor For Zone Ventilation
CO₂-sensor general
The eBus CO2 sensor can be connected to all Flair appliances and all “plus versions” of the Renovent Excellent and Renovent Sky. A maximum of 4 CO2 sensors can be connected.
The CO2 sensors ensure optimum ventilation in the dwelling by automatically adjusting the air flow rate on the basis of the CO2 content. The airflow rate is determined by the CO2 sensor that requests the highest level. The CO2 sensor(s) only regulates the appliance if the position switch/Air Control, if fitted, is in position 1, 2, or 3; when the position switch is at position 0 or fan symbol (holiday mode) the CO2 control does not work.
Depending on the minimum and maximum (set) PPM value, the CO2 control adjusts the airflow between setting 1 (set low) and setting 3 (set high).
- 1 = Air flow rate
- 2 = Amount of CO2 in area where CO2 sensor is situated
- Q Min = Minimum airflow setting 1; for example Flair 325 (Plus) factory setting step no1.2 = 100 m3/h
- Q Max = Maximum airflow setting 3; for example Flair 325 (Plus) factory setting step no1.4 = 250 m3/h
- Min. PPM = Minimum (set) PPM value; for example Flair 325 (Plus) factory setting step no. 6.2 = 400 PPM
- Max. PPM = Maximum (set) PPM value; for example Flair 325 (Plus) factory setting step no. 6.3 = 1200 PPM
Connecting and setting
Step 1 Electrical connection
Connect CO₂-sensor to Renovent Excellent appliance
- Renovate Excellent appliance
- First connected CO2 sensor
- Second connected CO2 sensor
- Optionally, 3rd and 4th connected CO2 sensors (A maximum of 4 CO2 sensors can be connected)
- 2-wire control cable (Green plugs = eBus connection; black plugs = 24V.)
Connect CO₂-sensor to Renovent Sky appliance
- Renovate Sky appliance
- First connected CO2 sensor
- Second connected CO2 sensor
- Optionally, 3rd and 4th connected CO2 sensors (A maximum of 4 CO2 sensors can be connected)
- 2-wire control cable (Green plugs = eBus connection; black plugs = 24V.)
Connect CO₂-sensor to Flair appliance
- Flair appliance
- First connected CO2 sensor
- Second connected CO2 sensor
- Optionally, 3rd and 4th connected CO2 sensors (A maximum of 4 CO2 sensors can be connected)
- 2-wire control cable (Green plugs = eBus connection; black plugs = 24V.)
Step 2 Setting CO₂-sensor
The CO2 sensors are fitted with five DIP switches at the backside. Set the
DIP switches according to the table below so that each CO2 sensor has its own
unique set combination.
Dipswitch | |
---|---|
Sensor | 1 |
CO2-sensor 1 | ON |
CO2-sensor 2 | OFF |
CO2-sensor 3 | ON |
CO2-sensor 4 | OFF |
It is advisable to mark the CO2 sensors as soon as dip switches are set (for example, by recording the number a using waterproof marker on the inside of the CO2 sensor) and to fill in the list below where the CO2 sensor in question will be placed. When reading the PPM values of CO2 sensors it is then easy to deduce for which area the read value applies.
Area in which CO2 sensor is placed | |
---|---|
CO 2 -sensor 1 | |
CO 2 -sensor 2 | |
CO 2 -sensor 3 | |
CO 2 -sensor 4 |
Step 3 Settings of CO₂-sensor on ventilation appliance
To activate the connected CO2 sensor(s), the setting of the CO2 sensor must be
set to “ON” in the settings menu of the relevant ventilation appliance. To
change settings in the settings menu, see the installation instructions for
the appliance in question.
If desired, the minimum and maximum PPM values on which the CO2 sensors are controlled can also be set in the settings menu.

Step 4 To check CO₂ values on the ventilation appliance
In the readout menu (for Renovent Excellent and Renovent Sky with Plus print)
or information menu (for all Flair appliances) the values of the connected CO2
sensors can be read out. With this, you can also check the proper operation of
the connected CO2 sensors.
Only values can be read in this readout menu or information menu; changing settings is not possible. For more information regarding the readout menu/information menu, see the installation instructions for the appliance in question.
Readout menu at Renovent Excellent and Renovent Sky:
Step no.
read out value
| Description of readout value| Unity
---|---|---
10| Read out CO2-sensor 1| PPM
11| Read out CO2-sensor 2| PPM
12| Read out CO2-sensor 3| PPM
13| Read out CO2-sensor 4| PPM
Information menu at Flair appliances:
Press the info button on the display and use the and button to go to the
reading values of the CO2 sensors.
LED function on CO₂-sensor
The CO2 sensor has a red LED on the front.
This red LED on the CO2 sensor has the following functions:
Led on CO 2 -sensor | Description |
---|---|
Led is constantly on: | CO2 sensor is defective. |
Led is constantly off: | CO2 sensor is off (no power) or the CO2 sensor is |
operating normally.
Led lights up and phases out slowly every 4 seconds:| The CO2 sensor is
warming up during the power-up phase.
Led lights red for a short period every half of a second:
| The sensor detected a failure or it is not being read on the eBus. i.e. it
has no eBus connection or heat recovery appliance is not set for reading CO2
sensors or demand control 2.0 does not detect the CO2 sensor.
The led blinks; the light is long on and short off every 2 seconds| This is a
search option. This can be used in demand control 2.0 to ease the process of
finding the right sensor during assigning it to a zone using the control unit.
Failure
When there is a problem with the CO2 sensor at a Renovent Excellent or Sky appliance, the error message E109 will appear on the screen.
Multiple error messages are possible with Flair devices; this error message always comes in combination with the wrench symbol on the display.
Fault code | Description |
---|---|
152 | Sensor must be replaced. |
160 | Internal connection with sensor element is poor. |
161 | Sensor element is defective. |
An error message can also be displayed by means of a red LED on the front of the CO2 sensor (® LED function on CO₂-sensor).
Recycling
Sustainable materials are used in the manufacture of this appliance. The packaging should be disposed of in a responsible manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
