5 Product information

5.1 ECA 100 ipro RC

• Small room fans for extracting air from rooms.
• Radio-controlled model for the MAICOsmart exhaust air system. With radio receiver 868 MHz (EnOcean).
• Fans with two power levels.
• Power levels can be set manually with radio switch and/or automatically with RLS RC radio controller.
• On/off with optional DS RC radio switch or separate RLS RC room air control.
• No start delay and overrun time.
• Can be combined with Wibutler Smart Home System.
• Not speed-controllable.

Master-slave operation of the RC fans only possible in ECA 100 ipro RC and RCH single-type systems (RLS RC room air control required). Combinations with ECA 150 ipro RC/KRC/RCH/KRCH not permissible.

5.2 ECA 100 ipro RCH

• Small room fans for extracting air from rooms.
• Model similar to the ECA 100 ipro RC.
• Additionally with fully automatic humidity control.

Fully automatic humidity control function

Normally, the fan runs in standard operation at a power level that is manually set or predefined through an RLS RC.

When starting up the RCH fan, this fan is set in line with the current relative room humidity. This humidity is saved as the first reference value. No further manual setting of a reference value is necessary.

If the relative humidity drops directly following the installation, this is saved as the new reference value. The lowest possible reference value is 48 % relative humidity. If the room humidity increases by 7%, the fan switches on automatically at power level 1 (78 m³/h).

• If the room humidity increases even further, the unit switches to power level 2 (92 m ^3 /h).
• If there are no further increases, the unit continues to run at power level 1 (78 m ^3 /h) until the humidity again falls below the saved reference value.

If humidity falls below the reference value, the power level is also switched back:

• If an RLS RC is deployed, operation is done in line with the setting on the RLS RC.
• In the case of operation without an RLS RC (individual unit), the fan switches back to the last power level that was active before humidity operating mode.

The currently prevailing room humidity is saved as the new reference value.

A new reference value is also saved if the radio switch is operated during humidity operating mode.

• Receivers are ECA 100 ipro fans from the RC and RCH unit models.
  • Transmitters are system components such as
• RLS RC room air controls
• DS RC radio switches
  • radio window contacts
  • ECA 100 ipro RC and RCH

- All the ECA 100 ipro RC models can be combined with each other in the network.

• ECA 100 ipro RCH fans also have a humidity control (fully automatic humidity control).
• The MAICOsmart system can be operated with a radio switch and/or the RLS RC room air control:
• The two power levels can be selected or the system can be switched off with a radio switch.

• With the RLS RC room air control, the three system levels can be switched on manually (→ table in chapter Operation [▶ 30]).

• This function is deactivated ex works in order to guarantee continuous ventilation. If need be, this function can also be activated (→ RLS RC room air control installation instructions).

• The fan can also be switched on/off with radio window contacts (window open/closed).
• During commissioning, the transmitters must be taught-in on the receivers (must be paired with each other).

Further radio components

A: DS RC radio switch (EnOcean switch): Fan with a radio switch in individual operation

• Radio switch, (double rocker switch) for setting different fan power levels.
• Press the rocker switch to switch up or down one power level.

The left and right rocker switch have to be taught-in separately: Left rocker switch for on/off, right rocker switch to switch the ventilation level up and down.

Always teach-in the radio switch for the fan that is located in the same room as the switch.

B: DS RC radio switch (EnOcean switch): Fan with several radio switches in individual operation

Function as described above. Up to 5 radio switches can be taught-in per fan.

C: DS RC radio switch (EnOcean switch) in master/slave network

The ventilation system is operated according to the settings made on the RLS RC. However, every switching action made by radio switch has priority over the RLS RC setting.

• If a radio switch is operated, the assigned fan switches to the manually selected power level.
• After 30 minutes of the switch not being operated (timeout), the unit returns to the setting according to RLS RC. If the setting is changed on the RLS RC during the timeout, the assigned fan only reacts to this command once the timeout has elapsed.
• In the case of the RCH version, the automatic humidity function has priority when operating in holiday mode. Switching through the DS RC or through a radio window contact is possible during humidity operating mode.

D: Radio window contact (EnOcean switch)

• Radio window contacts can be taught-in for each fan.
• The radio window contact sends the Window open or Window closed status to the assigned fan.
• The assigned fan switches off automatically if the window is opened.
• If you want the fan to continue to operate even when the window is open, it can be switched on with the assigned radio switch.
• The radio switch has priority over the radio window contact and/or the RLS RC.
• The fan switches off again after a timeout of approx. 30 minutes (if the window is still open) or back to the operation mode set on the RLS RC (if the window is closed).

E: RLS RC room air control (EnOcean radio control)

For information about the RLS RC room air control, see separate installation instructions.

• The RLS RC room air control is a radio control for the manual operation of master and slave devices.
• Two programs (P1/P2) with different power level combinations are available for operation.
• The appropriate program for the application, (P1 for small/P2 for large residential units) (→ table in chapter Operation [▶ 30]) is defined during commissioning.
• The following appears in the RLS RC display: System level 0/Off without bar System level 1 with two bars System level 2 with 4 bars System level 3 with 6 bars
• The time and temperature are also shown on the display.
• The holiday mode is equipped with interval operation. The on-off change takes place every 30 minutes for all fans (humidity protection). Radio commands from further radio network devices are ignored until holiday mode is switched off.
  • Service menu for system settings.

9.1 Procedure

For information on the function and program levels → MAICOsmart system description [▶ 22]. To teach-in an RC fan, remove the housing cover and then reattach it → Preparation for installation [▶ 24].

Operation with stand-alone fan

1. On the fan, first teach-in the RLS RC room air control and then the radio switches and/or radio window contacts.
2. Teach-in further system components.
3. Perform function test with all system components.

Master/slave network

1. First teach-in the pre-configured RLS RC room air control on the master fan.
2. Then teach-in the radio switches, radio window contacts and further slave fans.

3. Teach-in radio switches and radio window contacts on the slave fans (max. 2 fans).

4. Carefully press the housing cover (incl. designer cover) onto the housing, until it engages with the safety catches.

5. Perform function test with all system components.

9.2 Tips for teaching-in radio components

A fan automatically becomes a master if the master fan is set to receive mode and a teach-in telegram is received from a slave fan.
If a master fan is accidentally taught into a slave fan, the master assignment ceases to exist (master fan becomes a slave fan). This can result in having to re-enter all system components.

• A fan becomes a slave fan if it transmits a teach-in telegram to the master unit and the master unit confirms this telegram.
• If the RC master or slave fan receives a valid teach-in telegram from a radio component that has not yet been taught-in, the data is evaluated and stored.
• If the radio component has already been taught-in, the teach-in telegram is deleted, that means that the teaching-in must be repeated.
• If there is no reception within 60 seconds, the teaching-in is terminated and the LED on the fan switches off. The procedure must be repeated.
• Teach-in telegrams from non-supported radio components are ignored.
