RF (wireless communication)

RF components have a maximum free-field range of 350 metres� This distan-

ce will be much less in a building because of obstacles� Therefor you will need 

to allow for features such as walls, concrete and metal� All slave components 

(except those which are battery powered) also act as repeaters� Signals from 

components that are unable to make a (strong) connection with the master 

component are forwarded automatically via no more than one other non-bat-

tery-powered component (= hop point)� Please refer to information sheet 

RF communication (L8000018)

 at www�duco�eu for further information�

Wired (cabled communication)

Wired components can be daisy-chained (= recommended)� This means that a 

separate cable will not be required for each component� A single central power 

supply can be used�

The cable required is a 5 x 0�75 mm² data cable� We strongly advise using a shiel-

ded cable� This is to prevent any interference that may affect the data communi-

cation� Any Tronic grilles will be supplied with a 5 x 0�25 mm² cable which can be 

connected via a splicing terminal block�

Control valves

The control valves, whether or not they are fitted with a sensor for measuring CO or humidity, can be built into the DucoBox Focus� 

Together with the fan, they ensure the correct exhaust air flow rate in the right room�

A DucoBox Focus can contain up to a maximum of 7 control valves (= one per intake duct)� This can be expanded to a maximum of 

11 control valves by using the ‘Control Valve Manifold’ (item 0000-4454)�

A control valve requires to be provided in every case for each ventilation duct connected!

05.A 

Mounting the control valves

Slide the control valve into the locations 

provided in the DucoBox Focus� Connect 

the ‘VALVE’ connector on the DucoBox 

to IN on the control valve� If applicable, 

connect OUT on the valve to IN on another 

control valve to be added� At least one 

valve must be connected to the DucoBox at 

any time�
