System overview Controller sMove

The sMove controller is an electronic control unit for controlling the inVENTer® ventilation devices with heat recovery. It is available in the variants s4 or s8, each in two versions (standard or flat).
The sMove controller enables the control of a maximum of the following ventilation devices:

It is characterized by its visually discreet, timeless, and flat design as well as easy installation. The controller is operated by touching the capacitive buttons and the sliding controller on the control panel. With integrated light indicators (LEDs), the control panel also serves as a visual feedback/ indicator for the user.
The sMove controller can be used as a basic controller or with additional connected sensors.
When used as a basic control, the operating mode of the ventilation devices as well as the setting of the air volume flow, either continuously or in 4 predefined stages, are possible.
An external interface allows the scope of functions to be extended:

• Demand-controlled ventilation via sensors (hygrostat, CO2 sensor, VOC sensor 1) [NO] ), or
• Integration of a safety device (e.g. pressure switch, [NC]) if the ventilation devices are operated simultaneously with firing places.
• Integration of the sMove controller into an existing home control system via an analog input

Components

• Mounting plate
• Control panel
• Switching the power supply unit
• Mounting socket (optional)

Models
The controller sMove is available in Standard and Flat variants.
In both versions, the external interface can be configured either as an external switching contact or as an analog input.

1. VOC = volatile organic compounds
2. optionally as flush-mounted or top-hat rail switch-mode power supply unit

Flat modelThe controller switches the ventilation device to the “OFF” operating mode for 1 hour.
The ventilation device then continues to operate in the previously saved operating mode and ventilation level. The use of the flat version is recommended in rooms that do not require switching off the ventilation system to comply with moisture protection ventilation.
Standard model: The controller switches the ventilation device to the “OFF” operating mode completely.
A ventilation stage must be selected for the ventilation device to operate again.
2.1 Construction
The controller sMove consists of a mounting plate for installation on the inner wall, and a control panel. The control panel contains the electronic components of the controller and the control panel cover (acrylic glass material)
In addition, a switching power supply unit (flush-mounted or control cabinet- mounted) for power supply is included in the scope of delivery of the sMove controller.
The control panel on the surface of the controller serves as the operating and display surface.

2.2 Functions
The sMove controller is a control unit for the decentralized ventilation devices with heat recovery from inVENTer GmbH. If connected, the information transmitted to the controller by means of sensors is included in the control of the ventilation device.
Controller sMove without closed interface If the external interface is not connected, the operating mode and the intensity of the air volume flow can be set on the sMove controller.
The operating modes heat recovery and ventilation can be easily set by touching the operating mode button. The operating modes OFF or Pause function are selected by touching the Off/Pause button.
The intensity of the ventilation can be adjusted continuously in all operating modes by sliding the sliding controller or in 4 steps by touching the fan symbols on the slider. They serve as a guide.

The changed setting is effective immediately so that the setting can also be made according to purely acoustic noise compatibility.
A LED next to the respective button shows the selected operating mode. The position of the illuminated display on the left side of the sliding controller indicates the ventilation level currently set.
Controller stove with closed interface
The external interface is a bifunctional interface on the back of the control unit. It enables the connection of a sensor with potential-free switching contact (normally open/ normally closed contact) or uses as an analog input for integrating the ventilation system into an existing home control system.
With the connection of the external interface, the range of functions of your controller changes as follows:
A. Interface as external switching contact (sensor system)
The sensor used must have a potential-free relay contact as an output. The function of the interface is set via the jumper on the back of the control unit ( Installation Instructions 3.3: Jumper)
The connection of a pressure sensor is a necessity for spaces with interior air-dependent fireplaces. Contact a chimney sweep or building planner for this.
If the interface is used for a pressure sensor, the air pressure is continuously measured in the interior. As soon as this exceeds the safety- relevant limit value, the sensor reacts and switches off all ventilation devices connected to the control unit. The function remains active until the levels of air pressure are safe.
If the external interface is used to connect a hygrostat, the ambient humidity is continuously measured in the interior. If the external interface is used to connect a CO2 sensor, the CO2 content is continuously measured in the interior. The CO2 sensor and hygrostat can be ordered as optional accessories.
If the external interface is used to connect a VOC 1) sensor, the composition of the air and the resulting air quality are continuously measured in the interior.

Sensor| Switch| Exceeding limit value| Undercutting limit value
---|---|---|---
Pressure sensor (4Pa)| NC contact| Change all ventilation devices connected to the controller to the OFF operating mode.| Change all ventilation devices connected to the controller to the originally set operating mode.
CO2 sensor| N/O contact| Change all ventilation devices connected to the controller to ventilation operation mode, ventilation level 3.

Hygrostat

B. Interface as analog input
If the interface is used as an analog input, the ventilation system can be integrated into an existing home control system. For this purpose, depending on the desired function, a predefined DC voltage is set in the house control unit.
Depending on the control voltage, the ventilation and heat recovery operating modes are possible in ventilation stages 1 – 4, as well as switching off the connected ventilation devices (for control voltages, see installation instructions 3.3: Jumper).

Operation

3.1 General handling
The controller sMove consists of a mounting plate for installation on the inner wall, and a control panel.
The control panel contains the electronic components of the controller and the control panel cover (acrylic glass)
The control panel serves as an input and display interface for the user.
Control panel
The control panel is located on the front of the control unit and also serves as a display surface.
It consists of capacitive buttons and various luminous indicators. The operation is carried out by touching the various buttons (highlighted in grey in figure 2).

Sliding controller
With a quick press of the fan symbols, one of the 4 preset ventilation levels can be selected. By touching the sliding controller for approx. 1 second, the ventilation level can be adjusted by continuously moving it. The position of the illuminated display on the left side of the sliding controller indicates the ventilation level currently set.
Operation mode button:
Press repeatedly to switch between heat recovery and ventilation modes. The illuminated display to the left of the operating mode button indicates the currently set operating mode.
Pause/OFF button
By pressing briefly, the controller can be set to the pause function for either one, two, four, or eight hours. In the standard model, pressing the button for approx. 5 seconds allows all ventilation devices connected to the controller to be switched off completely. Repeated pressing switches the connected ventilation devices on again. Completely switching off the ventilation devices is not possible in the flat model.
Illuminated display
The sMove controller additionally serves as a display surface. To the left of the buttons, there are LEDs that indicate the currently set parameters:

| duration| Heat recovery operating mode set
Pause function: after the pause, the controller switches the ventilation devices into heat recovery mode.
alternating| Filter change display
| duration| Ventilation operation mode set
Pause function: after the pause, the controller switches the ventilation devices into ventilation mode.
alternating| Filter change display
| duration| OFF (standard version only)
| alternating| Operating mode pause, Display next to the sliding controller

•in pause function: Display of remaining pause time
| Any illuminated display, perma- next| Current ventilation level display
| alternating| The boost function is active

After 30 seconds without input, the illuminated displays switch off automatically. Touching any button reactivates the control panel.
The ventilation levels of the ventilation devices can be set in all operating modes.

3.2 Initial commissioning
When the sMove controller is commissioned for the first time, the reversing fans of the ventilation devices start automatically in the lowest ventilation stage (25 %) in the heat recovery operating mode.
Requirements:
The controller is connected to the power supply.
► Touch any button on the control panel.
The orange-colored LED lights up.
The lowest LED to the left of the sliding controller lights up.
The controller is in heat recovery operating mode.
The ventilation level shows 25%.
The controller sMove saves internally the last chosen configuration of ventilation and operation mode. After the controller is switched off, for example in the event of a power interruption, the sMove controller switches on again in the last saved configuration of operating mode and ventilation level.
The previous configuration would be internally saved, as long as it was active for at least 1 hour.
3.3 Setting heat recovery/ventilation mode
Requirements:
The controller is connected to the power supply.
► Press the button until the corresponding (orange or blue) LED on the left side of the button lights up.

TIP: By repeatedly pressing the button, you can switch between the operating modes of heat recovery and ventilation.
The operating mode is set/changed
Heat recovery operating mode
In this operating mode, the reversing fans of the ventilation devices operated in pairs change the direction of rotation every 70 seconds. The integrated thermal accumulator is charged with the thermal energy of the room air as it flows externally (extract air). After the direction of rotation has changed, the heat accumulator releases the stored heat energy to the incoming fresh air (supply air).
Set “heat recovery” as the standard operating mode.
During winter months, the outside temperature is colder than the temperature of the air inside. The incoming outdoor air is preheated as it flows through the ceramic heat accumulator before it enters the interior. It is also recommended on summer days, due to the higher outside temperature compared to the interior, the heat input during ventilation is significantly reduced.
Ventilation operation mode
In this operating mode, the reversing fans do not change the direction of rotation. In this operating mode, there is no heat recovery.
Select “Ventilation” to cool the room on summer nights or to quickly remove stale or humid room air.
3.4 Activating / deactivating the pause function
The reversing fan of the ventilation device is switched off for a set period of time. The ventilation devices do not work and there is no air exchange. Select the “Pause” function, for example, before going to bed. Following the intermittent pause, the fans restart automatically at the selected ventilation level and in the previously set operating mode. Therefore, the inner cover muss remains open.
Activating pause function
When setting the pause function, the controller first switches off the connected ventilation devices.
The pause function can be set for one, two, four, or eight hours. After the pause, the controller switches to the last stored operating mode and output level.
Requirements:
The controller is in heat recovery or ventilation operating mode.
► Press the button

| Pause Duration
---|---
one time| 1 hour
two times| 2 hours
three times| 4 hours
