Section 4 – Installation

 

4.5.7 Installation of the air-quality sensor (optional).  (Optional Sensors Board Kit required) 

An optional air-quality controller (AQS) can be used in order to control the ventilation unit automatically. 

The AQS Controller (RXG Part N°  92097AA) is wall mounted and is supplied with a surface box.

Connect : 

Terminals “

” terminal and “

0-10V

” terminal at AQS Sensor 1 in the 

MVHR unit

 

WARNING! 

The terminals “A1” and “A2” must 
connect directly to the required 
AQS Sensor 1 terminals in the 
MVHR unit 

NOTE! 

The AQS Controller is separately 
wired with its own L / N voltage 
supply. 

Fig. 4.11 Terminal diagram Externally mounted AQS Controller (92097AA) 

AQS Controller operational notes : 

The MVHR will run at a higher ventilation rate when the AQS controller indicator light is Red and Flashing. 

The AQS controller run on timer option does not operate when used with the MVHR unit. 

4.5.8 Installation of the smoke detector (optional) 

To enable the safe cut-out of the ventilation system in case of fire, the ventilation unit can be connected to an 
optional smoke detector with a volt free output.
