8.3  CO

2

 sensor (Xcell 400 QVW model only) 

The terminal box for all wiring connections is situated on top of the MVHR. The CO

2

 Sensor will only function in 

conjunction with the Automatic 3-Speed Switch, described in section 8.2. Refer to sections 7.3 and 7.4 for the 

relevant wiring diagrams and associated controllers that are compatible with the CO

2

 Sensor. With jumper 10 

selected on the PCB, the CO

2

 Sensor is active. Only one CO

2

 Sensor may be connected to each MVHR. 

Minimum size of 3-core cable to be used for switch connections: 0.5mm². 

The MVHR only reacts to the CO

2

 Sensor when Fan speed 2 is activated on the Automatic 3-Speed Switch. Fan 

speed 2 is always displayed on the Automatic 3-Speed Switch, regardless of whether the CO

2

 values are displayed 

as <900 ppm (speed 1) or >1100 ppm (speed 3) on the CO

2

 Sensor. With this setting, the CO

2

 Sensor is always 

prioritised. As soon as the Moisture Protection speed, speed 1 or speed 3 is manually activated on the Automatic 3-

Speed Switch, the CO

2

 Sensor is deactivated. 

Switch points of the CO

2

 Sensor: 

> 1.5 V MVHR switches from speed 2 to speed 1; 

<   900 ppm 

> 5.0 V MVHR switches from speed 1 to speed 2; 

> 1000 ppm 

> 7.5 V MVHR switches from speed 2 to speed 3; 

> 1100 ppm 

< 5.0 V MVHR switches from speed 3 to speed 2; 

< 1000 ppm 

8.4  Humidity sensor (Xcell 400 QVW model only) 

The terminal box for all wiring connections is situated on top of the MVHR. 

Refer to sections 7.4 & 7.5 for the relevant wiring diagrams.  

Minimum size of 3-core cable to be used for switch connections: 0.5mm². 

This product is designed to measure humidity and temperature in indoor applications. 

It uses a capacitive sensor element for the humidity measurement.  

At 50% RH the MVHR changes to speed 2. 

At 75% RH the MVHR changes to speed 3. 

Note:  

When using Humidity Sensors in conjunction with the Automatic 3-Speed Switch a maximum of four Humidity 

Sensors can be connected. When using Humidity Sensors in conjunction with the Automatic 3-Speed Switch and a 

CO

2

 Sensor a maximum of three Humidity Sensors can be connected.
