1.1 Description Wireless Controller with humidity sensor

Intended and unintended use
This manual is about the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor (See C in image below).
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor should only be used in combination with products that have been approved by Brink Climate Systems B.V.
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor can only be used with a HRU appliance which is equipped with a USB connection! The Wireless Controller with humidity  sensor is a wireless remote control to operate your ventilation system. This remote control also displays when the filter(s) needs to be replaced/ cleaned or when the ventilation system is malfunctioning. Brink supplies a range of wireless remote controls/sensors that make  contact with a heat recovery unit by means of a USB transceiver.  This range consists of the 5 following types of wireless controls/ sensors:

A. Wireless Controller
B. Wireless Controller with build in CO2-sensor
C. Wireless Controller with build in RH (humidity) sensor
D. Wireless CO2 – sensor
E. Wireless Humidity – sensor
F. USB transceiver
G. Appliance with USB connection (for example HRU appliance type Flair)

The connected ventilation unit is operated by pressing one of the buttons on the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor with your finger.
For explanation of the buttons of the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor see ® Overview operational controls page 7.
The Wireless Controller with humidity sensor must always be used with a transceiver on the HRU appliance; a combination of multiple remote controllers on 1 USB transceiver is possible.
In total, a maximum combination of 12 controllers /sensors can be connected to 1 transceiver (Max. 4 controllers / max. 4 CO2-sensors and max 4 humidity sensors).
Note: A controller with a build in CO2- sensor is seen as an CO2-sensor and a controller with a build-in humidity sensor will be seen as an humidity sensor.
When one or more sensors are connected to the HRU appliance, it will ventilate according to the set conditions of the connected sensor(s).
If multiple controllers /sensors are used, the controller / sensor that requests the highest ventilation level always has priority.
Boost function ( ):
The boost function can be canceled at any time by pressing another button of the Wireless Controller with humidity sensor. When the boost button is pressed again during  use of the boost function, the timer is reset and the connected ventilation device will run on ventilation level 3 again for 30 minutes. For position “Boost button” see ®  Overview operational controls page 7.
The air flow quantities associated with the ventilation settings must always be set on the connected appliance and cannot be adjusted on the Wireless Controller with humidity  sensor. For ventilation settings, see the installation manual of the relevant connected HRU appliance.
