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 W mini and VENTO inHOME W 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

• in all pictures of this manual, an AH-10 hood is depicted as an example; the ventilator may be delivered with different hood models.

Operating principle of VENTO in-home W, VENTO in-home W C1 and VENTO in- home W 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 W M and VENTO inHOME W C1 М 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.

PRE-SETTING OF THE VENTILATOR

• Prior to operating the ventilator set it up using the DIP switch. It is located on the controller circuit board. To access the DIP switch, take off the front panel of the indoor unit and uplift the rubber plug that covers the switch.

DIP SWITCH POSITIONS
Defining the role of the ventilator when operating in a group

It is recommended to use either one or an even number of ventilators combined into a group to ensure an optimal ventilation mode. The setting is carried out in such a way that during each operation interval one half of the ventilators supplies air to the room, and the other half extracts air out of the room.

• The figure below shows the control buttons on the indoor unit and the remote control with a brief description of their function.

Standby button does not turn the unit off but switches it mode to standby mode only. During maintenance, it is mandatory to turn the unit off.

VENTILATOR CONTROL WITH THE BUTTONS ON THE INDOOR UNIT
The table below shows the buttons and indicators on the indoor ventilator unit with a detailed description of their purpose and functionality.

| The speed selection sequence is as follows: I-II-III-Standby. All ventilators combined into one network run at the speed set by the master ventilator.

I : permanent indicator glowing indicates operation of the unit at Speed I. Indicator blinking indicates activation of the Night mode timer.

I and II : The permanent glowing of the indicators I and II indicates the operation of the unit at Speed II.

I , II, and III : The permanent glowing of the indicators I, II, and III indicate the operation of the ventilation unit at Speed III. Synchronous blinking of the indicators I, II, and III indicates activation of the timer in Party mode or the turn-off delay timer in the Boost mode in case of actuation of the connected external sensors or the integrated humidity sensor.

Alternate blinking of the indicators I, II, and III indicates that the ventilator runs at the speed set with the mobile application using the slider selector for manual speed setting or that the Weekly schedule mode is activated.

---|---
| Regeneration mode

The rotation direction of both fans changes to the opposite every 70 seconds. Heat recovery is performed in this mode. To enable reverse phase operation of the ventilators, change the position of the DIP switch No. 3.

| Ventilation mode

The ventilator operates in the supply or extraction mode at a set speed. The direction of airflow depends on the position of the DIP switch 3.

No glowing of the indicators « Regeneration » and « Ventilation » indicates forced operation of the ventilation unit in the air supply mode. This mode may be activated only via the mobile application.

Filter

| 90 days after installation of the cartridge the filter replacement indicator starts glowing. In this case, clean or replace the filters (see section Technical maintenance).

After the replacement of the filters reset the timer using the mobile application or by pressing and holding the

button on the Master ventilator indoor unit for 5 seconds until a signal sounds.

Alarm

| Alarm indicator. In case of failure, the Alarm indicator on the indoor unit glows or blinks. Reasons of Alarm blinking:

•        Battery charge is below the low level.

•        No communication between the master ventilator and the router;

•        Alarm shutdown of the ventilator.

If several ventilators are running in a group, in the event of an emergency stop of one ventilator, all the ventilators in the same group will stop (the Alarm indicator on the faulty ventilator will blink, while this indicator on the other ventilators will remain lit).

If the master ventilator does not communicate with the router for 20 seconds or more, the ventilator will switch to Standby mode (the Alarm indicator will blink), and the slave ventilators will signal that they are not communicating with the master ventilator (see the description of the Master indicator). When communication is restored, the slave ventilators automatically synchronize with the master ventilator.

Master

| A continuously lit indicator light indicates the master ventilator in the group ( Master ).

Blinking indicates that the ventilator is a slave ventilator and that there is no communication with the master ventilator.

If the indicator is not lit it means that this ventilator is a slave ventilator and is paired with a Master ventilator.

Synchronous blinking of all the indicators on the casing of the ventilator indicates that the Setup mode is enabled.

REMOTE CONTROL OF THE VENTILATOR

The table below shows the buttons on the remote control with a detailed description of their purpose and functionality.

| ON/Standby. The Standby mode depends on the position of the DIP switch 2 (see section DIP switch positions). The same button is used to reset alarms ( Alarm ) and to turn off the timers.
---|---
| Ventilator speed selection: Speed III-II-I respectively.
| Regeneration mode

The rotation direction of both fans changes to the opposite every 70 seconds. Heat recovery is performed in this mode. The fan rotation direction depends on the position of the DIP switch 3.

| Ventilation mode

The ventilator operates in the supply or extraction mode at a set speed. The fan rotation direction depends on the position of the DIP switch 3.

| Timer control buttons:

Party mode: the timer activates the operation of the unit at Speed III for a set period, 4 hours by default. The timer setting may be changed during the setup of the unit on a mobile device.

  Night mode: the timer activates the operation of the ventilation unit at Speed I for a set time, 8 hours by default. The timer setting may be changed during the setup of the unit on the mobile device.

The ventilation unit reverts to operation with a previous speed setting upon elapse of the set time. Press any speed setting key to deactivate the timer or press the timer control button once again.

WIRELESS CONNECTION OF SEVERAL VENTILATORS

• Ventilators can be combined into a group in which one ventilator shall act as the master and the others shall be connected to it as slaves.
• If the ventilator is a master ventilator, the slave ventilators and mobile devices connect to it via Wi-Fi. The master ventilator is controlled using a mobile device, remote control or touch buttons on the ventilator casing. The control signal is automatically transmitted to the slave ventilators. In this mode, the device receives signals from sensors (humidity sensor, external discrete sensor, external 0-10 V analogue sensor) and switches to the appropriate operating mode.
• If the ventilator is a slave, it only receives control signals from the master ventilator. All other signals from other control devices are ignored. In this mode the units ignore any other signals from the sensors. In case there is no connection to the master ventilator for more than 20 seconds, the ventilator shall automatically switch to Standby mode.

Sensor-based operation

• The ventilator shall only respond to sensor signals when they are acting as a master ventilator.
• If any of the sensors is triggered, all ventilators in the group will reach maximum speed.
