o
RECIRCULATION
. The device recirculates and filters air while providing
uniform humidity and temperature conditions. This mode consumes very
little energy because it does not heat or cool. The device does not renew air
in this mode.
o
SMART
. The device prioritizes air exchanger mode and switches to heat
pump mode during calls for heat or cooling. Switches to recirculation mode
when weather conditions are unsuitable for air exchanger or heat pump
modes.
o
INTERMITTENT
–
10, 20, 30, 40
. Alternates between air exchanger and
recirculation modes in order to provide fresh air over a predefined period of
time varying between 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes per hour. Intermittent-10
mode is ideal during long absences in which the house is unoccupied.
1.2 Fresh Air Setpoint:
o
20 to 180 cfm (10 to 85 l/s
). Set the ventilation supply rate according to
the fresh air requirement of the house

.
NOTE
: It is important to choose a ventilation supply rate that corresponds
to the house’s
requirements. A low supply rate can lead to a decrease in
comfort and indoor air quality. On the other hand, a high supply rate can
dry out the air and cause cracks in the wood, as well as increasing heating
and cooling costs.
1.3 Units:
o
cfm
. Ventilation speed will display in cubic feet per minute.
o
l/s
. Ventilation speed will display in liters per second.
