OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF THE INDOOR UNIT [MM]

Wi-Fi technical data

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The ventilator consists of an indoor unit with a decorative front panel, a fan unit, a heat exchanger unit, located inside the air duct and the outer ventilation hood.
In the VENTO inHOME Wi-Fi mini and VENTO inHOME Wi-Fi mini M models, the fan and heat exchanger units are combined in a single cartridge.
Two filters are located inside the air duct in the airflow path to provide coarse air purification and prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the heat exchanger and the fan.
In the bottom right corner of the front panel of the ventilator, there is a window for the IR remote control receiver combined with a light sensor. The light sensor controls the brightness of the control panel LEDs.
The LEDs glow brighter during daylight hours and dimmer in the dark.

VENTILATOR DESIGN

Operating principle of VENTO inHOME Wi-Fi and VENTO inHOME Wi-Fi mini ventilator shutters
The indoor unit of these models is equipped with automatic shutters. During the ventilator operation the automatic shutters are opened and let the air flow freely through the ventilator. The automatic shutters are closed for 2 minutes at the ventilator shut down.
The process of opening and closing the shutter can take up to five minutes.
WARNING! The product is equipped with a shutter lock (item 1). In the event of a power failure, the product shuts down but the shutters remain open.
If necessary, you can close the shutters. To do this, remove the front cover and press the push rod (item 2) in the direction of the arrow. This releases the push rod and the shutters close.
The product is equipped with a shutter position sensor. When power is restored, the sensor detects the position of the shutters and opens them if the product has been running or closes them if the product has not been running.
The shutter opening/closing mechanism operates with a delay of 1 to 5 minutes after the unit is switched on or off.
The indoor unit of the VENTO inHOME Wi-Fi M ventilators does not have shutters. The air duct in these models can only be blocked by pushing the front panel of the ventilator as far as it will go, as shown in the figure below.
The figure below shows the position of the shutters in the closed and open positions.

Opening/closing the airflow
To open the air duct, gently pull the front panel towards you with both hands. The fan starts operating according to the actual speed setting.
To close the air duct, gently press down on the front panel until the air duct is completely closed. The fan turns off automatically. The unit functionality is not changed.

VENTILATOR OPERATION MODES
Ventilation: the ventilator runs either in the air exhaust or air supply mode at a set speed.
In this mode some of the ventilators in the network run in the air supply mode and the other ones in air exhaust mode, depending on the position of the DIP switch No. 3 (See section Adjusting the operating mode of the ventilator with DIP-switches).
Air supply: the ventilator operates in the air supply mode irrespective of the position of the DIP switch No. 3 (see section Adjusting the operating mode of the ventilator with DIP-switches).
Boost: the ventilator goes to the maximum speed without changing the operation mode.
Regeneration: the ventilator runs in two cycles, 70 seconds each, with heat and humidity regeneration.
Cycle I. Warm stale air is extracted from the room and flows through the ceramic regenerator, which gradually absorbs heat and humidity. In 70 seconds, as the ceramic regenerator gets warmed, the ventilator is switched to supply mode.
Cycle II. Fresh intake air from outside flows through the ceramic regenerator, absorbs accumulated moisture and is heated up to the room temperature. In 70 seconds, as the ceramic regenerator gets cooled down, the ventilator is switched to air extraction mode  and the cycle is renewed. If two ventilators are installed, they operate with opposite rotation directions in this mode. While one ventilator supplies air, the other one extracts it.

The ventilators are equipped with a humidity sensor and terminals for connecting an external 0-10 V analogue sensor and an external normally open contact (relay sensor). When any of these devices is triggered, the ventilator switches to maximum speed (Boost
mode).
When the sensors return to their original position, the Boost mode switch-off delay timer starts.
Relevant sections of the Blauberg Home mobile app allow you to configure the following ventilator settings:

• switch on or off the humidity sensor, 0-10 V analogue sensor, and relay sensor;
• set the triggering threshold for the humidity sensor and the 0-10 V analogue sensor;
• set the Boost mode switch-off delay duration (30 minutes by default);
• set the operation duration under the first speed timer («Night» mode) (8 hours by default);
• set the operation duration under the third speed timer («Party» mode) (4 hours by default).

If necessary, you can set different ventilator speeds for different time intervals by day of the week in the «Weekly Schedule» section of the Blauberg Home mobile app. For the week schedule to work correctly, you need to set the current date and time correctly in
the «Date and Time» section.

When simultaneously activating several operation modes that exclude each other, the ventilator selects the mode according to the following priority:

1. The Night mode timer or the Party mode timer.
2. Standby.
3. Boost.
4. Weekly Schedule
5. Standard operation mode.
