The units can be precisely programmed to determine how they respond to changes in sensor values or the status of the various signal inputs. The units will run at a Normal flowrate until a sensor or input change causes it to change speed. In the case of the Switched Live, Digital, Analogue, Wired and Wireless inputs the units will perform a step change in speed to the appropriate new level. In the case of the Humidity Sensor and CO2 sensor the unit can be programmed to give a response to the change in conditions.

INSTALLATION

Position the unit, taking into consideration the position of the rooms to be ventilated, the exhaust position and the electrical services. Ensure there is adequate access for installation and maintenance. The unit can be mounted horizontally or vertically. It can be positioned on the floor, walli or ceiling.
If the unit is sited in the heated void of the dwelling a condensate drain should not be necessary.
When sited in a cold void, consideration should be given to fitment of a condensate drain. Alternatively the unit and ducting can be externally insulated to minimize condensation within the units housing.
To reduce the system resistance in your duct system, and thereby avoid an increase in speed, power consumption and sound of the fan, follow these guidelines:

  1. Keep the length of duct runs to a minimum, particularly the exhaust duct run.
  2. If you need to use flexible ducting, make sure that it is fully extended and not crushed, sagging or torn.
  3. Try to minimize the systems pressure drop by designing for lower in-duct velocities and connect to the rooms with low pressure drop ceiling valves.
  4. The bend radius (measured to the inside of the bend), should be at least 1x the duct diameter.
  5. Avoid having any bends, filters or other obstructions within 250mm of the fan inlets and outlet.
  6. Set the valves to their maximally opened positions for a minimal pressure drop.

Securely mount the unit through the mounting holes on the casing using appropriate fixings for the mounting substrate. Anti-vibration mounts; acoustic mat or rubber bushes can also be used.
Fixings (not supplied) must be capable of securing 4 x the weight of the unit. Unit weight: 4.1kg
To maintain the Ingress Protection (IPx2) rating of the unit, the unit must NOT be mounted with the cover removal slots facing upwards, or at an angle where they are visible from above.
All other orientations are acceptable. Do not mount the unit with the outlet duct pointing down. Vent-Axia-WDCCO-Multihome-Range-
fig5See the dimensional details below for the mounting hole positions.
Spigots are 125mm diameter. 125 – 150mm accessory adaptors are available. When installing Ø90mm ducting onto a Uniflexplus+ unit, keep inserting the ducting into the sockets until three clicks have been heard.
Full insertion of the ducting is necessary to achieve a seal with the unit .Vent-Axia-WDCCO-Multihome-Range-fig7 Vent-Axia-

WIRING

WARNING:
THE UNIT AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING THE INSTALLATION / OR MAINTENANCE. THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED.

  1. To remove the cover, use a coin or similar; depress the retaining tabs via the slots in the side of the unit.
  2. With the power off, connect a suitable mains power cable from a switched, fused spur to the screw terminal block. Use the cable clamps and clip provided to secure the lead.
  3. Two mains voltage Live Switched (LS1 and LS2) connections are provided and can be used to trigger a change in speed. Common inputs would be from a bathroom lighting circuit. When commissioning the unit, a delay on timer and an overrun timer can be selected and adjusted in the software using the buttons and screen. See Unit Adjustment section on page 12 of this document for details.
  4. The switched live output (230Vac) from any other switch or controller, (such as a simple latching pull cord or push-button switch, humidistat or PIR detector) can be connected to the LS terminal instead of connecting to a lighting circuit.
  5. Important: Use low voltage twisted pair, data cable for accessories that are connected via the IO (Input Output) PCB. See the Low Voltage Connections diagram, use the cable clamp and grommet provided.
  6. There are no, delay-on or overrun timers when connecting via the Low Voltage connections (B), as the controller should determine when the fan is running at Boost or Normal speeds. Use the LS connection described above if a timer is needed.

RS485 Wired inputs
The RS485 terminals are used to connect compatible sensors and switches.
The connection allows sensors be daisy chained to simplify wiring. The maximum length of cable run from the unit is limited to 250m. Once accessories are wired to the unit, they must be paired to the unit to function correctly.

RS485 Wired input connection diagramVent-Axia-WDCCO-Multihome-Range-
fig18Vent-Axia-WDCCO-Multihome-Range-
fig19

RF868 Wireless inputs
Units that contain a Wireless receiver can be paired with compatible sensors, these can be mains or battery powered depending on the sensor.
A maximum of 15 wired and wireless sensors can be connected to a single unit.

Pairing sensors

To pair the unit with a wired or wireless sensor:

  • Press the Mode button to turn on the display.

  • Press and hold the Mode button until the LED illuminates solid White

  • Release the mode button, the LED will flash White to indicate that it is in pairing mode.
    The unit will remain in pairing mode for approximately 1 hour, or until the mode button is pressed again. Multiple sensors can be paired while in pairing mode.

  • Activate the pairing function on the sensor to be paired (see the instructions that came with the sensor).

  • When a sensor is paired the total number of paired devices is displayed on the unit.

Removing sensors
To remove paired sensors, the unit must be reset. Caution, this will reset all values back to factory default.

  • Press the Mode button to turn on the display.
  • Press and hold the Mode button until the LED illuminates solid Red
  • Release the mode button, the LED will stay Red.
  • Pressing the Mode button again will confirm the reset command. If a reset is not wanted, leave the unit until the command times out and the LED turns off.

C: Sensor priorities

The unit set the motor speed based on the source in the following order:

  • User override
  • LS inputs (1 and 2)
  • Digital inputs (1 and 2)
  • Sensor override: The Sensor override action is decided based upon the Sensor input (Humidity Sensor, Co2 sensor, Analog inputs) whichever sets the motor to run in Highest speed.
  • Default speed (run in normal speed)

Note: At each priority state, if more than one inputs are active (e.g. Digital input 1 and 2 are active), then motor will always run at a speed from the input which has highest speed level.

FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS

If compatible, the unit can be controlled via the Bluetooth linked App. This is only available on Multihome Wireless units. (See table p.3)

Comfort mode
If Comfort mode is enabled the unit will behave as follows to all LS inputs:

Trigger Action
LS input active less than 5 minutes No action (continue to run at Normal

speed)

LS input active more than 5 minutes but less than 20 minutes

| Once LS input is removed, fan will run at user selected speed for the length of time LS was

present plus the set over-run time (if over run is enabled).

LS input active more the 20 minutes

| Unit will Boost after 20mins.

Once LS input is removed, fan will run at user selected speed for 20 minutes plus the set over- run time (if over run is enabled).

The above applies to all LS inputs. The times are not adjustable by the user.

  • Delay On
    A dela y can be set so that the unit will not respond to an input until after the set delay has elapsed, applies to LS inputs only.

  • Overrun Timer
    The unit can be set to run for a defined period after the input is removed, applies to LS inputs only.

  • **Humidity – Rapid rise***
    Rapid Rise humidity response functions to detect rapid rises in humidity when the ambient %RH is under the threshold setting. If a rapid rise is detected the fan will boost until the humidity lowers again.

  • **Humidity – Ambient response***
    When ambient response is enabled the threshold set point is modified based on the ambient temperature. This helps to prevent nuisance boosting of the unit as temperatures changes during the day.

  • **Humidity – Threshold***
    The unit will boost when the RH is above the threshold set point.

  • **CO2 threshold Boost / Purge***
    The unit will go to Boost / Purge when the detected CO2 level exceeds the set thresholds.

  • Analogue inputs
    Both analogue inputs have adjustable low and high trigger voltages within the 0-10V range.
    The response to being above or below either of the threshold voltages is user settable.
    Note: The display doesn’t show a decimal point, for example at threshold voltage of 5.2V, is displayed as “52” on the unit.

  • Digital Inputs
    The unit can be set to change speed (selectable), based on whether the digital inputs are above or below the threshold voltage. See the table of Low Voltage Connections for details.

  • Display Lock
    To protect the settings on the MEV unit a pin code can be enabled via the main menu.
    Once the lock function has been enabled the Pin code can be set.
    The 3 digit pin is A to F, 0 to 9, and the default is LoC.

  • If external RH or CO2 sensors are fitted via RS485, they will have priority over the internal sensors, their value will also be displayed on the unit in preference to the internal sensor.

CO2 Calibrations

The following instructions describe the actions required to calibrate the CO2 sensors used within the MEV unit (if fitted), and the Room Sensor accessories in two steps:

  1. MEV Unit – Internal sensor
    Step 1 can be done by either Exposure method or Measurement method, the baseline step 2 is actioned once either step 1 options are complete.

  2. Exposure method step 1
    Exposure method assumes that the outside CO2 concentration is 400 PPM in the rooms in which the MEV extracts air from, the Rooms must be well ventilated by opening any external windows and doors for 10 to 15 minutes. The room must remain well ventilated and unoccupied until after the baseline step has been actioned.

  3. Measurement method step 1
    If the Engineer has a calibrated CO2 meter they simply need to measure the CO2 in accordance to the CO2 meters instructions within the rooms the MEV extract air from. Measurement taken from each room should be recorded and then averaged.
    Example; Room 1 – 450ppm + Room 2 440ppm + Room 3 – 460ppm = 1350ppm / 3 = 450ppm The averaged value is then used during the baseline step.

  4. Baseline step 2
    MEV On-Board display method
    Within the MEV menu there is rEF which has a default value of 40 (=400ppm), if using the Exposure method of calibration this does not need to be changed.
    For the Measurement method of calibration, the value within rEF should be changed to the recorded average PPM, using the example value this would be 45 (=450ppm).
    With the rEF value set as required, the user should navigate to the cAl menu and use the
    up/down arrow to select y (=Yes). The status LED will start blinking Magenta colour signifying the start of the calibration, the MEV will repeatedly read the CO2 sensor for 3 minutes to obtain a stable reading, once the status LED stops flashing the Calibration value has been set.
    MEV Mobile App method
    Once the app is connected to the MEV navigate to the CO2 screen from the home screen. On the CO2 screen enable Set CO2 calibration at the bottom of the page.
    An additional slide bar will appear with a default value set to 400ppm, if using the measurement method, the value should be changed to match the measured averaged recorded PPM, using the example value this would be 450ppm. For the Exposure method the value should be unchanged at 400ppm.
    With the value set the Save button should be pressed in the top right of the screen to start the calibration process, the status LED will start blinking Magenta colour signifying the start of the calibration, the MEV will repeatedly read the CO2 sensor for 3 minutes to obtain a stable reading, once the status LED stops flashing the Calibration value has been set.

  5. Room Sensor Calibration
    The Room sensor can only be calibrated using the Exposure method and will have Auto Background Calibration (ABC) by default.

  6. Exposure method Step 1
    Exposure method assumes that the outside CO2 concentration is 400 PPM in the room which the Sensor is fitted, the room must be well ventilated by opening any external windows and doors for 10 to 15 minutes. The room must remain well ventilated and unoccupied until after the baseline step is complete.

  7. Baseline method – Step 2
    With the Room sensor paired to the system the status LED will be Green when the button is pressed, in this condition the button should be pressed and held (8 Seconds) until the status LED is Magenta, the button should then be released and the LED will be blinking Magenta to signify the start of the calibration process, the room should be unoccupied once the calibration has started and should remain so for 5 minutes. During the calibration process the Room sensor will repeatedly read the CO2 sensor for 3 minutes to obtain a stable reading, once the status LED stops flashing the Calibration value has been set.

SERVICING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING: THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING MAINTENANCE.

  1. Individual faulty parts should not be replaced due to complexity of assembly. Only the full scroll assembly is replaceable.
  2. To remove the scroll assembly, isolate the power, then use a coin or similar to depress the cover retention clips and remove the cover.
  3. Disconnect and remove the power supply and signal leads.
  4. Remove the scroll assembly by unscrewing the two screws and unclipping the clips in the opposite two corners and lift the scroll assembly out of the housing.
  5. The fan has sealed for life bearings, which do not require lubrication. Expected service life is at least 45,000 hours continuous running.
  6. Upon reassembly, check all fixings are tight and secure.
