Filter replacement icon
This icon indicates your filter needs to be changed. We recommend you change your filter every 2 years. -
Ventilation icon
This symbol will show when the roof space temperature is inadequate to heat your house to the ideal temperature and the system has reduced fan speeds to very low levels to ventilate the house. This is needed to make sure air is still moving through the house and condensation and moisture are controlled. All numbers and arrows will be green at this point. -
Ventilation setting
This shows the level of ventilation for your home. Levels range from 1- 6 (1 being less air and 6 being more air). To set this level accurately in winter, start at 6 and lower the setting until condensation appears, then raise up one level again. -
Roof temperature
Heating, cooling, and ventilation are available in the house. -
Heat exchange symbol
When this symbol is active the system is recovering energy from the house. -
House arrows
Arrows indicate the direction of airflow into, out of, or around the house. Colour indicates if warm (red), cool (blue), or ventilating at very low-level fan speeds (green). -
Room temperature
The current temperature inside your house. -
The fan speed icon
Shows the speed at which the fan blows air into your house. -
Up and Down arrow buttons
Used to adjust the ideal (desired) temperature for the house. -
Ideal temperature
The desired temperature you would like to reach inside your house.
Note: your system will try to achieve this temperature with the heating or cooling that is available in the roof space. -
Wi-Fi connectivity
This shows the system is connected to Wi-Fi. -
Max Fan
Use for:
• Condensation – clears any extra condensation that may have been trapped behind closed curtains, etc, with an extra boost of air into the house.
• Summer time – heat dump which purges cavity air in the early evening, thereby reducing the temperature of the house and roof cavity earlier.
• Clearing odors and smells. -
Air Transfer Kit
This shows when the accessory Air Transfer Kit is on and actively moving air. -
Summer Kit
Standard on Essential+, this function brings cool air in summer directly from outside (when useful) by passing the roof. When activated, this symbol will show on the keypad. -
Heat Share / (HS)
This shows when the heat exchanger system is on with Balanced+. -
Software update
This shows when any new updates are available to download. Simply press this yellow note to start the download process. -
System monitoring
This shows key information about your air quality, filter life, air changes & kWh energy saving achieved by your ventilation system.
QUICK GUIDE
GETTING STARTED

Press the button once to turn it off and once again to turn it back on.
IDEAL TEMP button
- Gives system guidance to the required temperature.
- Adjusts desired temperature up or down.
Lock the keypad

for one hour.
Use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each menu page to navigate through the sub menus horizontally. If you would like to go up vertically through the menu structure at any point in time press the menu button at the top of each screen.
If at any time you would like to return to the front main screen press this
icon.
WI-FI SETUP
The Wi-Fi setup screen can be accessed from the home screen by using
Menu/Previous/Advanced/ Wi-Fi Setup.
After touching “Wi-Fi Setup” the screen will appear with the “Wi-Fi:” saying
“Not connected”, if the router has not been connected yet: 
Please note down
the Product ID now, as it’s required to register the mobile app and will need
to be recorded in your customer record.
You now have two options to connect to the Wi-Fi.
Some routers have a WPS feature, which allows an automatic connection from
a Wi-Fi device to the router. There is usually a button on the router to
enable WPS connecting. Touch the “WPS Connect” button on the touchscreen
display. Additional instructions will be displayed. Go to the router and push
the WPS button on the router. Once the router is in WPS mode return to the
touchscreen display and touches “Continue”.
If the router does not support WPS, then you can connect manually.
This function is very similar to connecting a mobile phone to Wi-Fi.
Touch the “Manual Connect” button. Scanning will be displayed in the title and
then after a delay, this screen will appear (note, in some rare cases, this
can take up to a minute the first time): 
The routers in the list will be different
from the ones displayed above as they are the 5 strongest Wi-Fi signals found
near to the touchscreen display. This screen will refresh every
10 seconds, so if the router you are looking for does not appear, wait for the
next scan. Select the one you want to connect to and then this screen will
appear:
Check that you have selected the correct router SSID. There are five security
levels (“OPEN”, “WEP”, “WPA_ PSK”, “WPA2_PSK”, and “WPA_WPA2_PSK”).
If the security shown is “OPEN”, then touching the “Connect” button, should
complete the connection and you can go to page 3. If it is not “OPEN”, then
touch the “Enter Password” button to see the password screen shown below.
Enter the
password for the router you are connecting to, and then touch the “Connect”
button. If you find the buttons a bit small for your fingers, you can use a
blunt pointed instrument to push the buttons, like a tablet stylus or a
fingernail or a knitting needle or the edge of a ballpoint pen, with the ink
part retracted.
WARNING: using too sharp an instrument may damage the display and void
the warranty.
After a delay, the display will now change back to the first screen shown with
Wi-Fi and Cloud status showing “Please wait…”
If successful, the Wi-Fi status will show “Connected”, and the cloud service
will show “Available”, as shown below: 
Congratulations, you are now connected to
the Wi-Fi and the HRV cloud.
If for some reason you do not connect, then double-check your password and
repeat the procedure above.
Note, for the cloud status to show “Available”, your router must have an
internet connection.
EXTRA FUNCTIONALITY
SUB MENUS
Press the menu button on the front screen to enter the sub-menus.
Further options are available in this sub-menus.
Menu Options
- Max Fan – these are advanced options for operating Max Fan mode.
- Quick Options – this allows access to three main options – Season Detection, turning on / off the Air Transfer Kit, and Summer Kit.
- Night Mode – holds set temperature at 18 degrees for 4 hours, cooling the house when the roof cavity temperature is lower than the house interior. After 4 hours it returns the temperature back to its original setting.
- Ventilation Level – allows ventilation setting adjustment. At different times of the year, more or less air is needed to clear condensation in your house. Your system uses these levels when the roof cavity temperature is too cool to heat, but the house still needs air to get rid of condensation. Higher levels will bring more cold air into a house. A balance is needed between condensation clearing and reducing the amount of cold air in the house, depending on each house. Adjust to suit. Spring, summer, autumn: Lower ventilation levels (1 – 3). Winter: Higher ventilation levels (3 – 6).
- Clock settings – allows clock adjustment.
- Display settings – adjust minor screen modifications such as brightness and contrast.
- Advanced – allows access to advanced user functions and information such as setting your kWh cost, Wi-Fi set-up, new filter requests & software updates.
- About your HRV – displays information about your HRV system model.
FAQ
Where can I get more information on my system?
Our customer service team is more than happy to help – give them a call on
0800 HRV 123 (0800 478 123). If you would like information on any of our
additional products, please refer to our website.
I’ve had my HRV system for a while – why do I have a black ring around my
outlet vent?
In some houses, the air passing out of ceiling outlets will cause a static
charge to build up. This can cause household dust inside the room to become
attracted to the charge. Simply wipe away the dust ring with a dry cloth, then
open the diffuser plate of the vent a little further to help stop this from
recurring. If this persists call us to arrange a visit from one of our
customer service team.
My ‘filter replacement’ light is on, what does this mean?
This icon provides an approximate timeline for your system’s service and
filter change. We recommend that filters are replaced with a new genuine HRV
filter every two years to ensure the performance of your HRV system isn’t
compromised and you continue to get the best from your system.
What do the ventilation levels on my keypad mean?
At different times of the year, more or less air is needed to clear
condensation in your house. Higher levels will bring more cold air into a
house. A balance between condensation clearing and reducing the amount of cold
air allowed into a house is needed depending on each house. Adjust to suit:
spring, summer, and autumn: lower ventilation levels (1 – 3). Winter: higher
ventilation levels (3 – 6).
My HRV is working great, but I still get condensation occasionally on some
windows – why is this?
Even though your home is now dry, cold or damp weather conditions may still
lead to some misty windows – certainly far less than what you would have had
without your HRV. No system can guarantee zero condensation but rest assured
your HRV is getting you as close as possible.
