DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT COMMANDS

Warning (fig. 26A):
The control panel is accessible by inserting the hand in the space between the cover and the front grille (1) or by lifting up the cover (2).

The device is controlled by means of on-board buttons (Fig. 26B).

• A: SPEED KEY: 5 position selector (Night / Quiet / Performance / High performance / Boost).

LED 1- LED 5: speed / air flow from min to max. Press the button cyclically to select the desired value. The white LEDs from 1 to 5 will light up to indicate the speed from 1 to 5.

• B: MODE KEY: three position selector. Press repeatedly to cycle through the different modes: recovery, intake, extraction, natural ventilation (intake and extraction LEDs switch on simultaneously).

The respective LEDs will light up steadily:

• RECOVERY heat recovery (the system works like an heat recovery unit, with cyclic inversion of the direction of rotation).
• INTAKE the system operates as a fan, with room air intake.
• EXTRACTION the system works as a fan, with air extraction from the room.
• NATURAL VENTILATION If the device is connected to one or more units via a WiFi network, the NATURAL VENTILATION mode can be set: if set as an even unit the device will operate in extraction mode, if set as an odd unit the device will operate in intake mode, creating an air current in the environment.

Note 1: In the HCS versions, natural ventilation can be selected automatically via the external IR remote control (see fig. 30).

• The WiFi module allows to balance the air flow rates of intake and extracted air, provided that the total number of installed units is equal to an even number. For example, 4 units can be connected to the WiFi network, setting two units as “even” and two units as “odd”. Air flow balancing will not occur if an odd number of units is installed.
• To see how to set the device as an even or an odd unit, refer to the section “parameter programming sequences”.
• The backlighting of the keys on the device remains active for one minute from the last press of any key.
• The backlighting of the keys on the remote control of HCS versions remains active for 15 seconds from the last press of any key.
• C: FUNCTION KEY to activate or deactivate the 3 different AUTO functions available and activate or deactivate the stand-by mode.

To activate or deactivate the stand-by mode:
If the device is switched on and the FUNCTION key is pressed (stand-by / on- off function), the fan stops and the LEDs of the SPEED column turn off. If the appliance is off and you press the FUNCTION button, the appliance starts at the speed and mode previously set.

The available functions are:

• Auto night (only for HCS models)
  The ambient light sensor detects the presence or absence of ambient light and, depending on whether the measurement is higher or lower than the threshold value set via SW (fixed value that cannot be changed by the user) it allows or prevents both the switch to a speed higher than the minimum both the transition to boost speed via remote input or HR% sensor.
  Therefore, at night when the presence of daylight is not detected, the appliance switches to minimum speed preventing the switch to a speed higher than the minimum one.
  When the presence of daylight is detected again, the appliance returns to operate at the previously set speed, and it is allowed the switch to higher speeds or boost via remote input or HR% sensor.

• Auto HR%
  In case of presence of humidity beyond the alarm threshold (60%, 75% or 90% – the default value is 75%), it is automatically selected the extraction mode at maximum speed.

• Auto comfort
  In heat recovery mode, the period that determines the inversion of rotation of the fans is fixed based on the temperature of the air introduced into the room: if too cold, the cycle time is reduced.

To enable a function (fig. 27):

• 1. press the FUNCTION button for more than 2 seconds.
• 2. press the SPEED button to select one of the three LEDs (LED 1, LED 2, LED 3) corresponding to the AUTONIGHT / AUTO HR% / AUTO COMFORT functions.

WiFi Mesh Network

The WiFi module creates a mesh wifi network to synchronize the units. The mesh network is identified by a particular SSID (Service Set Identifier), which will be generic by default during installation and will become unique for each particular network once installation is completed.

To set the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the WiFi mesh network
The machines are set as SLAVE by factory default. You must therefore set a unit as MASTER by pressing the MODE – MODE – SPEED- SPEED – FUNCTION – FUNCTION buttons in sequence and then the MODE button.

• Press the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons on the MASTER unit at the same time.
• Press the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence.
• Press the SPEED button within 20 seconds
• All speed LEDs from 1 through 5 will briefly blink to indicate that SSID = VOR_XXXXXXXX has been set on EACH SINGLE UNIT IN THE NETWORK
• If the SPEED button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without blinking to indicate that the appliance will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.

Note: The change from the default network SSID “VORTICE_HRW” to a unique network SSID is mandatory in order to prevent interference between different devices belonging to different networks (for example, in the case of two independent flats separated by a wall, etc.).

• you must have a smartphone or network detection device handy to view the names of the assigned networks.

To set the SSID in the case of two installed networks (for example two networks on two different floors) follow these steps:

1. Switch off the units that are not part of the network on which you want to operate (for example those on the upper floor if you want to set the network on the lower floor) to prevent them not to be assigned the same SSID.
2. Then, from the MASTER unit, assign the unique network identifier (SSID) by pressing the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence and then the SPEED button.
3. To set up another network (the upper floor in the example), you do not need to turn off the units of the other set up network as they already have a unique SSID.

To reset the mesh WiFi network (global / all network units) SSID:

• Press the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons at the same time.
• Press the MODE – SPEED – FUNCTION – MODE – SPEED- FUNCTION buttons in sequence.
• Press the MODE button within 20 second
• All the speed LEDs from 1 to 5 will flash briefly to indicate execution of the command:
  • Reset the SSID = VORTICE_HRW (default) FOR ALL UNITS ON THE NETWORK.
• If the MODE button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all speed LEDs 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without flashing, indicating that the machine will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.

To reset the WiFi mesh network (local / single unit on the network) SSID:

• Press the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons set as SLAVE at the same time.
• Press the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence..
• Press the SPEED button within 20 seconds
• All the SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will blink briefly to indicate that SSID = VORTICE_HRW (default) has been reset FOR THE SINGLE UNIT ONLY.
• If the SPEED button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without blinking to indicate that the appliance will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.

MAC Address and SSID
The MAC Address is assigned by the manufacturer of the WiFi module itself and it is unique.
The last 4 hexadecimal digits of the MAC Address (UAA = Unique Address Assignment) of the master unit are used to generate the unique SSID of the network:
VOR_XXXXXXXX (e.g. VOR_34F5E4E7)
Each digit consists of two hex characters ranging from 0 to 255 (0x00-0xFF).
The default SSID is instead VORTICE_HRW with default password = “12345678” which cannot be changed.

Adding one or more new units to an existing mesh network

1. Go into programming mode by pressing simultaneously the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons.
2. From any unit of this network, reset all the network identifiers (SSID) of each unit in the existing network by pressing the MODE – SPEED – FUNCTION – MODE – SPEED – FUNCTION buttons in sequence and then the MODE button.
3. Or, if there are units with unknown SSIDs or which are different from the network SSID, set each unit to SLAVE mode by pressing the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – FUNCTION – FUNCTION buttons in sequence and then the SPEED button. Afterwards set the default identification (SSID) on each unit by pressing in sequence the buttons MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE and then the SPEED button.
4. If a MASTER unit has not yet been defined, a network unit must be set as MASTER by pressing the MODE -MODE – SPEED – SPEED – FUNCTION – FUNCTION buttons in sequence and then the MODE key..
5. Finally assign the unique network identification (SSID) from the MASTER unit by pressing the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence and then the SPEED button.

Remote I/O

The connected device can be remotely controlled via clean contacts on remote input 1. If the remote input is active, the keyboard on the machine is disabled.

• Remote input # 1:
  • With input contact 1 closed, all the connected fans work in extraction at maximum speed.
  • If 20 seconds since the last key press have not elapsed:
  • The white EXTRACTION LED lights up.
  • The white 1,2,3,4,5 LEDs light up.

IR remote control (HCS models only)
HCS models are equipped with a remote control with LCD display. By default the recovery function, the auto-comfort, auto HR% and autonight modes are active. The humidity threshold is set at the maximum value (90%) and the speed is set to the maximum in order to obtain the maximum air flow rate (5 fans displayed).
The remote control transmits its default state to the device and consequently updates the state on the appliance. If the state of the device does not synchronize with the state of the remote control, point the remote control towards the device and press a button on the remote control to activate the synchronization. After inserting the batteries, the remote control is active.

• Increase in pressure losses in the air circuit and reduction of air flow;
• Consequent decrease in machine yield and worsening of comfort in the environment.
