Installation Manual recoVAIR/3 0020062918_03

An alarm will be triggered
–  If the time set for the filter replacement has expired. 

The duration is set under the installer level option on 
the remote control.

–  If one of the error messages described in section 7.1 is 

indicated in the remote control display.

e

 Danger!

Risk of fatal electric shock from touching live 
connections. Pull the mains plug before starting 
to work on the device.

•  Remove the unit front cladding as described in 

section 4.6.

•  Now place the 2-core cable (minimum 0.35 mm

2

) in 

the respective cable routing to the PCB.

•  Connect the lines to the connection "X 16" (alarm out-

put) in accordance with figure 4.14 "Wiring scheme".

4.12 Function 

check-out

Once all supply lines are correctly installed in accord-
ance with the wiring scheme, check the functions of the 
remote control, the domestic ventilation unit and the 
bypass (see section 5.1.3). When doing so, note that the 
unit must not be started until all ventilation ducts are 
connected to the unit and the unit and all ductwork are 
completely sealed.
In the sections 4.4 to 4.8 of the operating manual you 
will find in detail all the settings for the individual oper-
ating modes and the special functions. For testing func-
tions proceed as follows:
•  Select the "night" operating mode and check that the 

fans in the domestic ventilation unit are operating at 
low output.

•  Select the "day" operating mode and check that the 

fans in the domestic ventilation unit are operating at 
medium output (AIR2).

•  Activate the special function "advance". Check that 

the fans in the domestic ventilation unit are operating 
at medium output (AIR2).

•  If the output stages are not correctly switched, you 

must check the wiring on the terminals of the remote 
control and the domestic ventilation unit.

5 Start-Up

The start-up and the operation of the unit as well as in-
struction to the user must be done by a competent per-
son. 
Please note that the device can only be started up if all 
ventilation pipes of the device are connected and the 
entire device is closed.

As part of the start-up it is necessary to adjust the do-
mestic ventilation unit.
The domestic ventilation units are delivered ex factory 
with basic setting of both fans. As each fresh air and ex-
haust air installation is different and thus offers differ-
ent external resistance in the air ducting you will have 
to separately adjust the fresh air and the exhaust air fan 
to suit.
You can adjust the domestic ventilation unit using the 
remote control. Below are the necessary steps.

5.1 

Adjustment of the Digital Remote Control

To optimally match the system parameters to the re-
quired conditions it is necessary to set these parame-
ters with the remote control. The system parameters 
are located in an upper operation level and should only 
be set by an expert technician.

5.1.1 Expert 

Technician 

Level

Hold down the P button for about 10 seconds to go to 
the installer level. The   symbol appears on the display.
Then, by pressing the dial, it is possible to select the 
functions. The functions shown in table 5.1 can be 
scrolled through one after the other.
To change the parameters just turn the dial.

If you want to return to the basic display, shortly press 
the P button.
The adjustable air volume flows apply jointly to fresh air 
and exhaust air.
