Automatic humidity function
Once the fan is installed, it adjusts to the room humidity prevailing at that time (relative humidity). This humidity value is saved as the first reference value. The reference value does not have to be specified manually. If the relative humidity falls below the reference value during operation, the newly established reference value is saved. The lowest possible reference value is 48 % relative humidity.
If the room humidity increases by 7%, the fan switches on automatically at power level 1 (78 m³/ h).

• If the room humidity increases even further, the unit switches to power level 2 (92 m³/h).
• If there are no further increases, the fan continues to run at power level 1 until the humidity again falls below the saved reference value.

If the humidity falls below the reference value, overrun operation mode starts with the set overrun time. The current reference value is then saved.
If the humidity does not fall below the reference value within 60 minutes, the fan switches to the set overrun mode and then switches off.
Operation with optional light switch H and KH fans can also be operated using the light switch. If Light on is triggered, the set operating program starts. The operating program takes priority over the automatic humidity function. If Light
off is triggered, the fan continues to run until the remaining overrun time has passed. The automatic humidity function is then assigned maximum priority again and controls the fan as described above.

Technical data

6.1 Ambient conditions

• Permissible maximum temperature of air medium + 40 °C.
• Resistance to interference according to EN 55014-2 depending on pulse shape and energy component 1000 to 4000 V. If operating with fluorescent tubes, extra interference suppres-sion measures are needed (L or C components or RC modules, protection diodes, varistors) because these values may be exceeded.
• Recommendation: When operating on switches with a glow lamp, wire an X2 capacitor (220 nF/ 250 V) to zero. The capacitor is to be provided by the customer.
• Storage: Store unit exclusively in a dry location (-20 to +50 °C).
