To turn the product on with wall switches, connect a bipolar switch in series to the “L” and “N” supply as detailed in the picture (a). It is also possible to connect the product to the intelligent home network by serialising the power to enable programming of the on and off.34

Execute the connections as in the below images: Communication with slave products If it has been planned to install one or more products cascaded from the main unit or to set this up for a future connection, refer to the below images to enable communication between the main unit and the cascaded units. Opposite to Master Same as Master Opposite to Master We advise you to use different coloured cables to avoid inverting the connections. Attention: As indicated in the connection diagram, the master unit, to be configured as such, must not have other devices connected in the C1 and C2 terminal blocks. Attention: It is necessary to adhere to the connection between the S1-C1 and S2-C2 signals to avoid causing damage to the electronic device. Configuration of master product: slave Check that the master unit doesn’t have other devices connected in the terminal blocks (C1 and C2), then turn it on. After the first 10 seconds during which the red LED will remain steady, the product will emit two alternating white and red light pulses and will be configured automatically as MASTER.Only once the product has been identified as main MASTER unit it is possible to start configuring the SLAVE1. Do not send any command from remote to the slave units. Make sure the MASTER unit starts working before turning on the next (SLAVE) unit by means of switch “0/1” in order to give the MASTER unit time to configure the SLAVE units in the desired sequence. Turn on the SLAVE unit in sequence with switch 0/1, as explained below. Each unit must only be turned on after the previous unit has effectively started working:

2. Slave 1 with operation opposite to Master

3. Slave 2 with operation same as Master

4. Slave 3 with operation opposite to Master35

Attention: If the product is not configured correctly (MASTER or SLAVE) the RESET function can be used, which resets the product to factory conditions. This procedure is explained in the remote control PRODUCT RESET paragraph (page 22).

3) CONCLUSION OF THE ASSEMBLY

Having done the connection, put the terminal block and the cables back in their housing. Insert the ceramic exchanger (7) with the relative filters (8), positioning it half way along the integrated tube (6) as shown in the below image: Snap the main unit (3), together with the damper components (2) and front embellisher (1) already mounted on it, into the wall attachment (4i) until all the teeth are fastened.

If the remove humidity parameters should exceed those set, the product automatically starts extracting the air at the maximum speed until the values are restored and then returns to standby mode. In the case of several units, all the units go into SURVEILLANCE mode. This function is very useful if the user is absent for long periods. Response: Light pulse on activating the mode Red Periodic light pulse (every 1 min.) active mode White/Red Constant light pulse Beyond Threshold value Red A: Automatic mode Automatic mode provides operation at 70 seconds in air extraction and 70 seconds in air intake at average speed. By pressing the “AUTO” button, the product executes the automatic control of the active sensors (twilight, hygrostat); in the case of values beyond the set threshold, the product will extract the air from the room at maximum speed until the thres- hold value is restored. In the case of several units, all the units go into AUTOMATIC mode. The product is fitted with a twilight sensor that when the light intensity falls reduces the operating speed to the minimum to reduce the noise generated by the air. Response: Light pulse on activating the mode White/Red Periodic light pulse (every 1 min.) active mode Neutral Constant light pulse Beyond Threshold value Red V: Speed selection By pressing the “SPEED SELECTION” commands, the unit goes into manual mode enabling the desired speed to be defined, keeping it working at 70 seconds in air extraction and 70 seconds in air intake. In the case of several units, all the units work at the selected speed. Attention: the sensors are not active in manual mode. Response: Light pulse on activation of speed 1 1 White Light pulse on activation of speed 2 2 White Light pulse on activation of speed 3 3 White H: Selection of relative humidity threshold It is possible to change the hygrostat trigger point threshold to adapt the value to the type of environment where it is insta- lled. Once the relative humidity value set has been exceeded, the unit continuously extracts air at the maximum speed until the relative humidity read returns to below the set value. In the case of several units, all the products extract air until the set threshold is reached. The default set value is “Level H2”, which corresponds to RH=55%.37

Attention: when first turned on the product executes the auto-calibration of the hygrostat. It is possible that during this phase the “EXTRACTION” function will be activated to bring the room’s humidity below the level required for this auto-ca- libration. Response: Light impulse on activation of the H1 value (RH: 40%) 1 Red Light impulse on activation of the H2 value (RH: 55%) 2 Red Light impulse on activation of the H3 value (RH: 70%) 3 Red F: Direction of airflow (function can be activated if there are at least 2 units or multiple coupled units) By pressing the “DIRECTION OF AIRFLOW” button the units generate an airflow that provides intake only and extraction only simultaneously for the desired time, always keeping the atmosphere balanced. According to the button pressed, the air intake and extraction direction can be reversed. Attention: ethe sensors are not active in this function. Attention: the speed can be modified through the V commands pressed previously to those F. Response: Light pulse on activating the mode 2 Red / 3 seg. / 2 Red
