INTRODUCTION

ORION is a single alternate flow decentralized (single point) residential heat recovery unit, also called «push&pull» unit, designed to ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed environments without energy losses.

It is recommended that two units are installed in a pair: when one unit is pulling, the other is pushing.

The pair of units can be installed in the same room or in different rooms (i.e. living-room and bedroom). The unit is suitable for installation on an outside wall.

The unit should operate continuously, and only stopped for maintenance or service.

When heat exchange is not useful (for example in mid-seasons when indoor and outdoor temperatures are similar), or when heat exchange is not recommended (for example with the option “summer free cooling”), it is recommended to set the unit in “extract-only” or “intake-only” mode and NOT to switch it off.

OPERATION THROUGH INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL (supplied as standard)

K

L

The unit is supplied with an infrared remote controller (K) as standard, as well as its support base (L) which can be wall mounted. A magnet keeps the controller attached to the base.

The controller is equipped with an LCD display to visualise the setting to be transferred to the unit; anytime a touch button is pressed, the setting shown on the LCD display is transferred to the unit. The IR receiver is placed on the left side of the ventilation unit (E): it is recommended to point the controller towards the receiver when any setting needs to be transferred.

The supplied remote control can also individually control other units.

To activate the remote controller it is necessary to insert two AAA type batteries (not supplied).

Through the IR remote control, the functions described in the next table can be managed. When one command is transferred to the unit, a short acoustic signal is emitted and a green led flashes.

SYNCHRONISATION OF A NUMBER OF UNITS

It is possible to synchronized up to 10 units contemporaneously, through wire (2 pole twisted pair type, max 30m length) so to have mode and inversion time synchronized. When the unit is switched on for the first time, the rotation direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise) of each unit is automatically established. Other functionalities like speed, smart humidity control and boost, continue to be controlled independently on each single unit. Wiring diagram as per fig. 16B.

OPERATION VIA CENTRAL CONTROL PANEL CTRL-HO (accessory on request)

Up to 8 Orion units can be controlled simultaneously via the CTRL-HO control panel. The wiring among the devices is made via two or three poles, twisted-pair cable, min. cross-section 24AWG (0.2mm²), max. length 30m. Wiring diagram as per fig. 16C.

It is recommended to separate the power and control cables.

For the functionalities of the CTRL-HO refer to the specific manual:

It remains possible to operate each unit individually via infra-red remote control.

To perform the following operations, the devices must be disconnected from the main power supply.

During the system configuration, it is necessary to set the dedicated Modbus address for each unit, starting with number 1, by means of Dip Switches 1-2-3, located on the electronic circuit board of the internal support base.
