3 Description
3.1 Intended
use
The device is designed for following purposes:
1 To set the speed level of ventilation through the fan speed, based
on user input or measured humidity level.
2 To set parameters for the ventilation control.
Every other or further use is not in conformance with the intended use.
3.2 Working
principle
The device communicates with the control device using wireless com-
munications, in order to control the ventilation. Via the button and
LEDs you can read and set the mode of control that the ventilation
system currently is in. When in Auto mode, the device requests the
level of ventilation based on the relative humidity (RH).
3.2.1 Ventilation speeds and modes
The ventilation system runs in one of the following modes. In each
of these modes, the control device sets the ventilation system to a
configured level of ventilation.
• Away mode:
Low fan speed
• Home mode:
Medium fan speed
• Timer mode:
High fan speed, for a restricted duration.
• Auto mode:
Auto
Between Low fan speed and High fan
speed, based on measured values.
The control device drives the fan based on the highest of values sent
by the bound wireless sensor(s). When you start the timer mode from
this device, the ventilation will be active for 30 minutes.
3.2.2 RH measurement
The device continuously measures the relative humidity (RH) in the
air. When in Auto mode, the device controls the ventilation based on
the course of the measured values: the ventilation starts when the
humidity gets above a certain level, or for some time when the humid-
ity suddenly increases.
NOTE
The device stores the configured fan speed values in the control
device, and requests them from there. The device stores the RH
setpoint itself, and does not communicate this with any other device.
