HOW TO USE

Type of radiators can be used for this ventilator:

1. Wide radiator ≥ 69mm
2. Narrow radiator < 69mm
3. Single sided radiator
4. Convector
5. Other radiators

Connect the ventilator to a wide radiator (plates ≥ 69 mm apart)

1. Make sure that the ventilator (A) faces upwards, put it between the radiator plates and the magnets will automatically stick to the radiator.
   

2. Identify a space where the radiator wall brackets and connecting clips are not in the way. Attach the ventilator (A) at the bottom between the radiator plates with the adjustable magnets. The ventilator (A) can also be attached on top of the radiator and under a cover. NOTICE Make sure the fans still face upwards!
   

3. Connect the thermostat cable (C) and temperature sensor (E) to one of the ventilator (A) type C connectors . Make sure the thermostat cable (C) and temperature sensor cable (E) are connected to the Type C ports on the ventilator at the same side.

4. Attach the temperature sensor (C) with its adjustable magnets on the back of the radiator, close to the heated water supply pipe, or on the pipe itself.

5. Connect the power adapter (D) with thermostat cable (C) to the wall socket.

6. On long radiators, connect additional ventilator (A) with the 50 cm connecting cables (B). Multiple ventilator (A) (up to 10) can be connected to one power adapter (D). Additional temperature sensors (E) or thermostat cable (C) are not required.

7. Turn on your central heating system. Wait for the Radiator Ventilator (A) to automatically turn on.
   This happens when the radiator temperature reaches 32 °C. It automatically turns off when the radiator cools down below 23 °C. The thermostat displays the radiator temperature it detects, you can also manually set up the auto start and auto stop temperature by the buttons on the thermostat.

IMPORTANT: please connect the ventilator (A) to the power supply after the thermostat controller and temperature sensor cables are properly connected, to make sure ventilator (A) can be thermostat controlled.

Connect the Radiator Ventilator to a narrow radiator (plates < 69 mm apart)

1. Turn the adjustable magnets until the magnet is on top, 2 magnets on one side, and two on the other side.
2. Adjust the adjustable magnets to the correct width.
3. Repeat step 1 – 7 as for the wide radiator. Use the adjustable magnets to hang the Radiator Ventilator (A) between the plates.
   

Connector the radiator ventilator to a single sided radiator

1. Adjust all the adjustable magnets to the same side of the Radiator Ventilator (A), and make sure the magnets are at the edge.
2. Repeat step 1 – 7 as for the wide radiator.
   

Connect the radiator ventilator to a convector

1. Attach the feet by pushing them into the slots of the Radiator Ventilator (A).

2. Make sure that the Radiator Ventilator (A) faces upwards.
   

3. Place the Radiator Ventilator (A) on top of the convector and allow space between the convector sides and the Radiator Ventilator (A) to reduce noise. The Radiator Ventilator can also be placed on the ground below the convector if space allows.

4. If the convector block is made of magnetic material, the temperature sensor (C) can be easily positioned on it with its magnets. The temperature sensor can also be clamped between two plates of the convector block to ensure good heat transfer. The sensor can be attached to a copper pipe or any other non-magnetic location using the provided Velcro.
   

For other radiators

1. Make the feet is vertical to the radiator fan. Put the radiator fan directly under the radiator. Make sure the fans face upwards.
2. Follow the steps of 5.2.1 steps 3-7 to make the ventilator working
   

HOW TO SET THE THERMOSTAT

Normally, the display shows the temperature detected by the temperature sensor. If the temperature sensor is not plugged in or damaged, the display shows 00.

1. Press and hold the left key (WORK/+) for 3 seconds to enter WORK temperature setting. The temperature on display screen flashes. Now the left key (WORK/+) is the for increasing the temperature and the right key (STOP/-) is the for decreasing the temperature, you may change the temperature by pushing these 2 buttons, after setting, stop for 3 seconds and do not operate any button. The temperature will be saved and exit the setting interface to return to the actual temperature interface of the temperature sensor. (Note: the initial WORK temperature is 32 ℃. When the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is ≥ 32 ℃, the thermostat will enter the WORK mode and the fan will start running.)
2. Press and hold the right key (STOP/-) for 3 seconds to enter STOP temperature setting, and the temperature on display screen flashes. Now the left key (WORK/+) is the for increasing the temperature and the right key (STOP/-) is the for decreasing the temperature, you may change the temperature by pushing these 2 buttons. After setting, stop for 3 seconds without any operation on the buttons, the temperature will be saved and exit the setting interface, and display the current temperature detected by sensor. (Note: the initial STOP temperature is 23 ℃. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is below 23 ℃, the thermostat will enter the STOP state and the fan will stop working.)
3. The working temperature of the thermostat is between 0-60 ℃. (Notice: if there is no temperature sensor or it is not working, the thermostat defaults to WORK status, that is, the fan works. If the temperature is between 23-32 ℃ for the first use, the thermostat defaults to STOP status, that is, the fan does not rotate.)
4. The WORK temperature set has to be higher than the STOP temperature. (i.e. when the WORK temperature is set to 30°C, the STOP temperature can be set to 29°C maximum.)
5. Reset: hold both buttons of WORK and STOP for 3 seconds, the screen displays 88°C+WORK+STOP and flashes for 3 times, and then exit to display the current temperature or display 00 if no temperature is detected. The product is reset to default setting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem                    Cause                           Solution

Radiator Ventilator(A) does not fitbetween the radiator plates.| It is a narrow radiator.| Follow the installation steps for the radiator ventilator on a narrow radiator.
Radiator Ventilator(A) does not fit at the bottom of the radiator.| There is too little space.| Place the Radiator Ventilator (A) on top of the radiator. This will not influence performance. The bottom is only preferred as it is less visible. Make sure the Radiator Ventilator (A) still faces upwards.
The Radiator Ventilator(A) need to be attached at the top of the radiator, but the radiator has a cover.| NA| Place the Radiator Ventilator (A) underneath the cover. Keep in mind that this exposes the Radiator Ventilator (A) to higher temperatures, which may slightly limit its lifespan.
Cannot connect the Radiator Ventilator (A) to the wall socket.| The Radiator Ventilator (A) was placed with the two female connections on the wrong side or the power adapter cable is not long enough.| Turn the Radiator Ventilator (A) around so that the two female connections face in the other direction or connect the power adapter cable to a power strip.
The temperature sensor (E) cannot reach the warm water supply pipe.| The temperature sensor cable is too short.| Buy an additional long cable and connect to the temperature sensor cable. Else, the temperature sensor (E) may also be attached anywhere of the radiator.
Cannot fit the Radiator Ventilator (A) between the wall and single plate radiator.| The space is usually too small (less than 70 mm).| Follow the single plate radiator installation steps. If there is not enough space between the back of the radiator and the wall, please attach the feet to the Radiator Ventilator (A) and position the product on the floor below the radiator.
Radiator Ventilator (A) did not turn on after it was connected to the wall socket.| The temperature sensor(E) is not reaching 32 °C or more or the RadiatorVentilator (A) is not receiving power.| – Make sure the radiator is at least 32 degrees.-  Make sure that temperature sensor (E) is attached to the warm water supply pipe or close by to this pipe on the radiator where it gets warm.- Make sure that the temperature sensor (E) makes proper contact.-  If the radiator does not heat up properly, vent the central heating system and consider doing hydronic balancing.-  Make sure that the wall socket works and that the power adapter(D) is properly inserted.
The Radiator Ventilator(A) does not seem to increase the radiator heat output.| The Radiator Ventilator (A) may be facing downwards. This causes the air to flow in the wrong direction; against rather than with the flow.| Turn the Radiator Ventilator (A) over so that the Radiator Ventilator(A) is facing upwards. The top is the side where the fans are covered with three white protective strips.
Do not save 30% on the energy bill.| The central heating system is not optimised enough or the central heating system has been functioningoptimally beforeinstallation of the RadiatorVentilators (A).| Optimise the central heating system by distributing the Radiator Ventilators (A), adjusting the temperature set point and ensuring hydronic balancing. If the central heating system has been functioning optimally before the installation of the Radiator Ventilators (A), it may not be possible to save 30%. User behaviour can also have an impact on the maximum savings that can beachieved.
Old cast iron radiator or Single plate radiator with plat< 55 mm from wall.| Not one of the 5 types of radiators mentioned.| Attach the feet to the Radiator Ventilator (A) and place on the floor under the radiator.
The Radiator Ventilator(A) makes too much noise when placed on the convector.| This may be contact noise.| Make sure the Radiator Ventilator (A) does not touch any metal pieces. For this reason the feet should also be attached.
The Radiator Ventilator(A) does not turn off when the radiator is off/cold.| The thermostat(C) is not switching it off.| Make sure the Radiator Ventilator (A) is properly connected to a thermostat (C) and temperature sensor (E).
