kVent – rel 3.1 – 22/06/2018 

25

When the unit is turned ON the sequence to start, can be set 
through  the  setting  menu  (H022).  The  two  options  available 
are  “Start  fans  before  the  regulation”  or  “start  the  regulation 
before the fans” 
 “Start fans before the regulation” 

1. 

Damper ON 

2. 

Supply and return fans start after their own delay 

3. 

Supply and return keep idle speed 

4. 

Regulation 

 
“Start the regulation before the fans” 

1. 

Damper ON 

2. 

Regulation 

3. 

Supply and return fans start after their own delay 

4. 

Supply and return keep idle speed 

 
When the unit is turned OFF the sequence to stop is enabled:  

1. 

Keep supply and return fans ON for their own delay 

2. 

Close damper 

 
The sequence is described by the graphs below: 

 

 Note: Fans will slow down to minimum speed (D029) in 

case of: 

1. 

Recovery defrost active 

2. 

Supply temperature below minimum threshold  

 

5.10  Mixing chamber control 

Mixing  chamber  saves  energy  in  case  of  air  quality  is  fine 
inside the room.  
Acccording  to  CO

2

  value,  if  present,  a  PID  will  calculate  the 

request  for  the  mixing  chamber.  If  the  PID  is  higher,  then  the 
mixing chamber will close more and more. The greater request 
between CO

2

 request and freecooling/freeheating, will actuate 

the damper. 
It’s possible to activate the mixing chamber at startup to reach 
setpoint  temperature  quickly.  When  setpoint  is  reached,  the 
mixing chamber comes to regulate according to CO

2

 

5.11  CO

2

 Regulation 

A  signal  is  split  and  has  a  direct  impact  on  the  degree  of 
participation  of  outside  air  and  provides  a  correction  signal  to 
drive  the  VFD.  VFD  correction  signal  is  limited  to  the  MAX 
allowable adjustments. 
 
 

 

 

5.12  Boost function 

This function tourn on to a certain percentage the heating and 
cooling  request  (A070;  B021;  C63)  in  the  unit  is  in  the  mode 
(confort-preconfort or economy). 
From  the  board  the  function  can  be  enable  from  the  mode 
menu  (X00b),  or  by  TH-Tune  pressing  thogheter  the  buttons 
“Clock+Mode” for 3s. 
The  maximum  Boost  time  is  settable  on  the  “Setting  menu”, 
through the parameter H023. 
 

5.13  Minor functions 

 

Antistack procedure 

5.13.1

In  case  of  pumps  or  steam  configured,  kVent  checks  if  the 
pumps  stayed  OFF  for  a  long  time.  After  a  settable  time  of 
pump  off,  it  has  to  start  in  any  condition  to  avoid  the  risk  of 
stack. The valve stays closed. Time is not saved in permanent 
memory. 
 

 

Fire alarm 

5.13.2

In  case  of  fire  alarm  by  digital  input  or  in  case  of  exhaust 
temperature > 70°C, the fire alarm procedure is activated. 
All  the  devices  are  stop,  but  the  fan  can  run  according  to 
service parameter. 
 

 

Filter alarm 

5.13.3

When the dirty filter alarm is active, it is possible to increment 
the fans speed of a settable percentage (D041). 
 

 

NFC 

5.13.4

kVent manages Near Field Comunication of the controller. The 
application publics in NFC tag the following parameters: 

 

Supply setpoint in ECONOMY 

 

Supply setpoint in PRECOMFORT 

 

Supply setpoint in COMFORT 

 

Room setpoint in ECONOMY 

 

Room setpoint in PRECOMFORT 

 

Room setpoint in COMFORT 

 

Working mode 

 

With  NFC  app  in  the  smartphone  is  possible  to  read  those 
values and write them, even with controller not powered. 

5.14  Import/Export parameters 

This function is available from the menu F: Unit cfg. 
Here  below  the  parameters  and  their  descriptions  present  on 
the mask: 

 

I013:  Imp/Exp,  is  possible  to  set  if  the  user  want 
import or export the parameters from the kVent+ 

 

I014:  Memory,  it  is  the  parameter  to  chose  where 
store  or  take  the  file,  the  possibility  are:  from 
internal memory or from a USB key 

 

I015:  Name:  is  possible  to  set  the  file  name  to 
import  or  export  the  name  must  be  write 
“EXPORT_XX” where XX can go from 00 to 99
