SYSTEM OVERVIEW

STANDARD SYSTEMS

INSTALLATION

Preparation
Before commencing installation it is strongly recommended that planning is undertaken and completed to ensure that the best possible ventilation solution is achieved.
Please use the checklist below for your installation planning and change as may be required.

Sensors
DO NOT mount the sensors before reading all the instructions Locations

• DO NOT install sensors within a metre of diffusers.
• DO NOT install sensors close to localised sources of heat, draughts, moisture or odours.
• Install the outside sensor on the south side of the house shielded from rain and strong wind close to the supply grille. (typically under the soffit).
• Install the roof sensor close to the roof air intake grille.
• Install the bedroom sensor in the most condensation prone occupied bedroom.
• Install the lounge sensor in the lounge or room with the home’s primary heat source.
• Cluster the sensors as much as possible rather than spreading them out for good signal strength.
• Maintain a 1cm clearance around the sensors to allow for battery changes.
• Consider how home owners can safely get to the outside sensor to change the battery.

Sensors – Mounting

• If mounting to the wall ensure the sensor button is facing downwards. If mounting on soffit ensure the sensor button is facing the wall.
• Sensors come with adhesive backs on the battery cover which can bond well to most clean smooth surfaces.
• Clean surfaces with a clean cloth and alcohol, let dry, remove adhesive ring cover, press and hold the sensor to the surface for 5 seconds to bond.
• Ensure there is nothing within 1cm of the sensor 1cm so that it can be easily removed for battery changes.
• In the roof space: mount the sensor in an easy to spot location near the roof air intake vent. Do not stick directly to rough sawn timber – screw in a piece of smooth material to stick the sensor on.
• Install bedroom and lounge sensors on the wall to reduce the influence of roof temperatures.

The sensors must be paired in this order Roof, Bedroom, Lounge then Outside. Sensor – Pairing

• Before starting the pairing process, ensure the touch screen is connected to the Ceiling Controller Box.
• Power on the Ceiling Controller Box and press and hold the button within 10 seconds.
• The controller will give a long beep and the sensors will be ready to pair.
• First pair the roof sensor by removing the battery and clear plastic battery insulator then reinsert the battery.
• After 3 seconds the LED on the front of the sensor will flash 3 times and the controller will beep.
• Replace the battery cover and mount the roof sensor with the adhesive back
• Turn on the touch screen to verify the roof sensors has been paired.
• The bedroom temperature reading will show 99°C to indicate the next sensor to be paired is the bedroom sensor.
• Go to the bedroom, put in the battery and hold the sensor up to the desired location and look for 3 flashes.
• If there are less than 3 flashes see the trouble shooting guide.
• Check the touch screen to see if the sensor paired successfully and which sensor to pair next.
• Remember, the pairing order is Roof, Bedroom, Lounge then Outside.

Ceiling Controller

Locations

• Mount the ceiling controller on the lower half of the roof cavity.
• Make sure mains supply has been isolated before making any electrical connection.
• Locate the ceiling controller central to planned sensor location – favouring any sensors that may have concrete or brick walls in the way.
• Ensure the ceiling controller is in a location with good Wi-Fi signal strength.
• Avoid mounting near large metal bodies e.g. hot water cylinders, antennas, heat pump AHU, switch panels, etc.
  CAUTION: Avoid running TSC data cables in parallel with mains cables. If this is unavoidable, try to keep at least a 0.2m distance.

Connection

1. Mount the ceiling controller using the mounting holes on the side with damper connection and transformer. Ensure the white sensor receiver module is facing upwards.
2. Thread the TSC cable through the cable gland,wire to the connector and plug into the ceiling controller (refer to wiring diagram, page 6).
3. Connect all peripherals: fans and dampers.
4. Make sure the earth spade on the fan is connected to the earth block in the ceiling controller.
5. Make sure all cable glands are tightly fastened and secured to the ceiling controller.
6. DO NOT cross cables over the PCB to reach for apertures on the far side. Use an AC fan junction box or AC damper junction box (FANxxxx) if there are not enough apertures on the controller box (FANxxxx).

Touch Screen Controller

Locations

• Install inside only.
• Mount on an inner wall at eye level.
• DO NOT install in wet/damp areas (i.e. laundry or bathrooms), on hot surfaces, in convection currents, or exposed to direct sunlight.
• Ensure at least 0.2m between TSC cable and mains wires to avoid signal interference.
• DO NOT install near any localised heat source.

Mounting

1. Remove the magnetically attached mounting plate from the TSC by leveraging it with a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Cut an opening on the wall for the flush box and mount it.
3. Screw the mounting plate onto the flush box. Ensure you can see the arrow and it is pointing upwards.
4. Run the TSC Cable from the roof cavity down to the flush box.
5. Wire the 6-way connector to the cable and plug into the TSC (refer to wiring diagrams, page 6).
6. Hold onto the edge of the controller and line up the arrow and magnets on the back of the TSC with the mounting plate
7. Gently push the controller into the mounting plate until they snap together.
   Strong magnetic force between mounting plate and controller could cause jamming of finger or skin.
