aspira 160 ASPIRVELO AIR RHINOCOMFORT RF

Product Information

The ASPIRVELO AIR RHINOCOMFORT RF is a single room heat recovery unit with air sanitation. It is designed to be installed on perimeter walls with a thickness ranging from 28 to 53 cm. The system includes a ceramic heat exchanger inside the unit that efficiently recovers heat from the extracted air and a G3 class filter that retains air impurities. The RHINOCOMFORT RF system also utilizes an LED light and water steam to decompose polluting substances in the air, making them harmless.

The system consists of a MASTER unit and optional Slave units for communication. The MASTER unit, along with its radio remote control, is required for installation. Up to 64 Slave units can be added for bidirectional communication with the MASTER unit.

The RHINOCOMFORT RF system operates using a low-power brushless motor controlled by a microprocessor. The microprocessor processes information from sensors on the unit (humidity, brightness, and temperature) and user commands from the remote control to optimize ventilation modes for indoor comfort. The remote control allows manual operating modes or automatic mode selection. Only the MASTER unit can detect air flow temperature.

Product Usage Instructions

To install and commission the ASPIRVELO AIR RHINOCOMFORT RF system, follow the instructions provided in the installation manual.

To use the system, refer to the USER MANUAL included in the package. It contains all the necessary information for consumers regarding system usage.

Note: The remote control and the MASTER unit are already paired, so no additional pairing is required.

This manual contains the information required for installing and commissioning the fan system. The information needed by consumers to use the system is shown in the USER MANUAL included in the package.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The RHINOCOMFORT RF system consists of one or several decentralised, high- efficiency heat recovery fan units and air sanitation system to be installed on perimeter walls with a 28-53 cm thickness. The system is normally composed of:

• one radio-controlled RHINOCOMFORT 160 RF “MASTER” fan unit,
• one or several RHINOCOMFORT SAT 160 RF “Slave” fan units (optional)

The minimum requirements for installation are the “MASTER” unit and its radio remote control to which a maximum of 64 “Slave” units communicating by radio in a bidirectional manner with the MASTER unit can be added.
The fan unit operation is based on the regenerative heat recovery principle, using a ceramic heat exchanger inside the device which accumulates the heat released by the flow of air extracted from the room and then returns it warming the air during the intake cycle. Any air impurities introduced are retained by a G3 class filter.
Additionally, thanks to the combined action of an LED light that illuminates the fan and the water steam contained in the air, RHINOCOMFORT RF decomposes the polluting substances introduced present in the air, transforming them into harmless substances.
The low-power brushless motor is controlled by a microprocessor which, by processing the information of the sensors on the unit (humidity, brightness and temperature) and the commands given by the user via the radio remote control, adopts the most suitable ventilation modes for the best indoor comfort.
If necessary, the remote control allows the user to choose one of the various “manual” operating modes, or the “automatic” mode. Only the “MASTRER” unit can detect the air flow temperature.

ATTENTION! The remote control and the master unit are already paired..

FAN UNIT DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION – WALL PREPARATION

Make a hole having a Ø162 mm minimum diameter and a 1÷3° slope towards the external environment, at a minimum height of 2.3 m from the floor and 100 mm from any side walls (Fig.1).

If two fan units are used on the same wall in the same room (Fig. 2a), keep a 1.2 m minimum distance between the centre of the cored holes. Should the units be mounted on two corner walls, the centres of the cored holes shall be respectively located 1.2 metres away from the opposite wall (Fig. 2b).

TELESCOPIC TUBE INSTALLATION

Pull the heat exchanger (2) out of the telescopic tube by grasping it by its handle (1).

• Apply cement mortar on the hole in the wall. Insert the telescopic tube with the larger diameter part (outer tube 4) towards the outside of the room, and place it flush with the outer wall.
• Run the inner tube (3) with respect to the outer tube (4) until it is flush with the wall of the room.

POSITIONING THE GRILLE AND HEAT EXCHANGER

Wait for the mortar to set and then place the “inlet-outlet” grille compressing the springs (7) on the outer tube (4) and permanently fix the grille.

• Insert the heat exchanger (2) until it is flush (8) with the inner tube.

FAN UNIT INSTALLATION

• Unhook the cover (A) from the motor support by pressing on the side holes (B) with a small screwdriver.
• Open the hole for the passage of the cable (D); in the case of non-buried external connections, open one of the recesses (C) best suited to the passage of the cable.
• Run the power supply cable into the appropriate hole (D) before proceeding to fasten the unit with the screws of the dowels previously prepared in the fixing holes (E).
• Place the power supply cable in the strain relief passage and connect the two L and N wires of the 230V ~ line as shown in the figure. The terminal block is of a quick coupling type; to insert the conductor press the corresponding tab.
• The unit complies with the double insulation rules. (Class II) and therefore does not require an earth cable.
• DO NOT touch the chrome fan in order not to decrease the air sanitising power
• DO NOT power the appliance while the lid is open.

FAN UNITS IDENTIFICATION

Units can be easily identified as only the MASTER unit has a temperature sensor.

• We suggest applying an identification sticker to the Unit MASTER cover.
