1.2 INTRODUCTION
ZENITAIR – MONO is a single alternate flow decentralized (single point) residential heat recovery unit, Ø150mm also called a «push&pull» unit, designed to ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed environments without energy losses. It is recommended that two units are installed in a pair: when one unit is pulling, the other is pushing. The pair of units can be installed in the same room or in different rooms (i.e. living room and bedroom). The unit is suitable for installation on an outside wall.
Attention: The unit should operate continuously, and only stop for maintenance or service. When heat exchange is not useful (for example in mid- seasons when indoor and outdoor temperatures are similar), or when heat exchange is not recommended (for example with the option “summer free cooling”), it is recommended to set the unit in “extract-only” or “intake- only” mode and NOT to switch it off.

OPERATION

Remote Controller

The unit is supplied with an infrared remote controller (K) as standard, as well as its support base (L) which can be wall mounted. A magnet keeps the controller attached to the base. The controller is equipped with an LCD display to visualize the setting to be transferred to the unit; anytime a touch button is pressed, the setting shown on the LCD display is transferred to the unit. The IR receiver is placed on the left side of the ventilation unit (E): it is recommended to point the controller towards the receiver when any setting needs to be transferred. One remote controller can control more units. To activate the remote controller it is necessary to insert two AAA- type batteries (not supplied).
Ventilation Unit
When switched on the unit emits a long acoustic signal.
Through the IR controller, the following functionalities can be activated/deactivated. When one set is transferred to the unit, a short acoustic signal is emitted and green led flashes.

Smart humidity control

| When the humidity sensor detects a quick variation of the Relative Humidity level, the running speed automatically increases to the next higher speed. After 10 minutes from the last quick RH variation, the unit returns running at the selected speed. The smart humidity control is active if the airflow di- rection is set on alternate or extract only: if speed 5 has been selected, no speed increase happens. To disable this functionality, press the button for 5 seconds: on the top side of the LCD display, the symbol is shown.| | | Flashing Blue|

Antifrost

| This functionality prevents frost from building up on the heat exchanger due to extremely cold air. When it is activated, the unit runs in extract only at speed 1, for 30 minutes.| | | Fixed Red|

Acoustic signal

| Any time a setting is transferred from the controller to the unit, a short acoustic signal is emitted. This can be deactivated by pressing the  button for 7 seconds, after which a green led flashes to indicate that the acoustic signal is off. To reactivate the acoustic signal repeat the same operation for 7 seconds until the led becomes green and an acoustic signal is emitted.| | | Green| Short

Back-Up Button
In case the remote controller gets lost or the batteries are dead, ON and OFF positions can be selected from the onboard touch button (J), pressing the button for at least 3 seconds.
