Initialisation Procedure 

Ensure the fire input cable has a Normally Closed (N/C) contact across the 2 cores prior to setting up. 
If  the  lid  has  been  disconnected  also  ensure  that  the  mechanism  sliders  are  rotated  to  a  horizontal 
position  with  the  black  slider  facing  upwards. 

WARNING:  If  the  Xvent  is  initialised  without 

adjusting the slider position, the mechanism can close on itself and cause major damage 
to the product.

Check that the mechanisms are disconnected from the lid and the sliders are rotated as per the above 
instructions. 
 
Initialise the mechanisms using the Config App. Next, press open on the wall control switch to open 
the  mechanisms  to  45°.  A  green  LED  should  be  displayed  while  the  mechanisms  are  moving.  Once 
open the mechanisms should be closed using the control switch, again check for a green LED. After 
closing, press the open switch again to open the mechanisms to 45°. This cycle is to ensure everything 
is OK prior to connecting the mechanisms to the lid. 
 
After running the above cycle, the mechanisms can be re-connected ensuring the screws are sufficiently 
tightened. The Xvent is now fully set up and can be tested to ensure correct operation:
