A. INTRODUCTORY NOTES
The Vent Axia Lo-Carbon PureAir Home is a positive input ventilation unit, designed to be installed in the loft of a
dwelling to continually supply filtered fresh air into the building. The system consists of a fan unit, a heater unit (for
heater models) and a diffuser (for diffuser models) with a short length of flexible ducting.
The Lo-Carbon PureAir home has two fully adjustable speed settings; ‘Trickle’ and Energy recovery’. These speeds
are set during installation; there are 5 pre-set speeds or an option allowing the speeds to be chosen manually from
10L/s to 60L/s. The Lo-Carbon PureAir home uses a sensor to monitor the temperature in the loft, automatically
adjusting the air volume when necessary.
•
The fan will run in ‘Trickle’ speed when the ambient loft temperature is less than 18°C.
