Frequently Asked Questions - AS-510 Protector

How do I pair the transmitter with the receiver?

Insert the receiver into a mains socket (the power LED flashes yellow for 20 seconds of learn mode). Insert the battery into the transmitter and slide the switch to 'I'. Hold the magnet against the transmitter and remove it; the transmitter LED will illuminate and the receiver LED will stop flashing. The pairing is complete.

What type of battery does the transmitter use and how long does it last?

The transmitter uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. Under normal use, it lasts approximately one year.

What is the maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver?

The radio range is up to 50 meters in open air. Walls and metal objects may reduce this range.

Can I use this device with a gas fireplace or water heater?

It is designed for exhaust air control (e.g., fume hoods) or switching of lights/appliances. For safety-critical applications like gas appliances, consult a specialist; the device is not intended for direct control of gas burning equipment.

What should I do if the receiver is not responding?

Check that the receiver is plugged in and the power LED is on. Ensure the transmitter battery is installed correctly and not empty. If the LED flashes yellow, the receiver is in learn mode; reprogram the transmitter. If problems persist, try moving the receiver away from metal obstructions.

How do I mount the transmitter and magnet on my window?

Attach the window transmitter to the window leaf using the adhesive pads or screws. Attach the magnet housing to the window frame so that when the window is closed, the distance between magnet and transmitter is no more than 7 mm. Use the supplied packer parts if needed.

What is the minimum window opening required for exhaust air control?

The minimum opening depends on your extractor's air throughput and window size. Use the calculation table in the manual: measure window area, find exhaust performance, and read the gap size. Ensure the actual window gap meets or exceeds that value.

Is this device suitable for use in bathrooms or outdoors?

No, it is only for dry indoor rooms (IP20). Do not expose to moisture or rain.

What is the maximum power of the appliance I can connect?

The receiver can switch up to 1800 W or 8 A (resistive load). For inductive loads like motors, de-rate accordingly.

Can I use the device to turn on a light when a door is opened?

Yes, you can use the magnetic contact to switch any device within its power rating. When the door (or window) opens, the transmitter sends a signal to turn the load on. You can also invert the function if needed by re-programming.

Assembly and operating instructions for exhaust control model AS-510 (wireless version)

Thank you for purchasing the PROTECTOR wireless exhaust control AS-510.

INTRODUCTION

The operating instructions are a constituent part of this device. They contain important notes on safety, use and disposal. Familiarise yourself with all operating and safety notes before using the equipment. Only use the article as described and for the listed areas of use. Pass all documents to the third party if you transfer the equipment to a new owner.

GENERAL

You can use this device as an exhaust air control device, as an aid to monitor fresh air supply when commissioning an exhaust air device (fume extractor hood, fan etc.). This cannot replace self-monitoring to ensure fresh air supply, but it can be supportive. This device only activates the exhaust air system in the event of pressure equalisation when a window or door is opened. The additional fresh air streaming in can thus be drawn in from the outside.

This device can also be used to selectively switch devices or lamps ON or OFF, for instance when a door or a window is closed or opened. This, for example, enables significant reduction of energy costs for heating or air-conditioning devices.

ATTENTION: When using this device for exhaust air control, the shutter must be open to ensure adequate inflow of fresh air!

MINIMUM OPENING ON WINDOW

This is determined by:

a. The throughput of the air extraction device in m^3/h
b. The size of the window to be opened in m^2
c. The size of the gap at the window in cm (see Table 1)

Most kitchens are equipped with rectangular combination tilt & turn windows.

If the window is, for example, round in form, then ask your specialist installation technician or the district flue & chimney inspector to calculate the minimum opening.

An example of the required minimum opening for a rectangular window is shown in the table for tilt/turn adjustment.

1. Find out the air extraction throughput of your air extraction device in m³/h. You can find this on the type plate or in the manual for the air extraction device (e.g. air extraction hood).
2. Measure the internal width and height of the window and work out the window size in m^2 . (width x height = m^2 ; e.g. 0.8 m x 1.0 m = 0.8 m^2 ) = window size

3. Read off the window gap size (minimum gap at side of your window) where the air extraction throughput and window size intersect on the table.

4. Measure the inner window gap size at the top in the tilt position in cm. The gap size of your window may not be less than the gap size obtained from the table. An even larger gap or window opening is preferable.

5. If the window's gap size is less than the permitted value according to the table then it may be that the window can only achieve the required gap size in the turning position. Even in the turning position, a minimum gap size must be achieved. The window contacts must be mounted so that maintenance of the minimum gap size is assured. We recommend that the minimum gap size is fixed by means of a spacer.

RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

Insert the receiver for the AS-510 into a socket. Plug the equipment that you wish to switch into the receiver socket. The receiver is ready for operation as soon as the power LED (5) illuminates.

Note: The receiver should not be mounted behind metal cladding as this can limit range.

CAUTION: Always check whether the power input of the connected equipment is lower or equal to the switching capacity.

TRANSMITTER ASSEMBLY

Remove the battery compartment cover (10) by applying slight pressure and at the same time sliding it in the direction of the arrow.

Place the battery (CR2032) in correct pole direction (+ on top side) into the window transmitter. Close the battery compartment cover correctly.

Mount the window transmitter (2) at the window leaf on the window to be monitored. Make sure that the minimum gap opening dimension is taken into account (see „Minimum Opening on Window“).

1. To attach the window transmitter you can either use the two supplied adhesive pads or 2 screws, which are inserted through the two straps on the window transmitter and screwed into the window leaf. Before screwing the window transmitter, make sure that the position of the window transmitter is correct.

2. Attach the magnet housing (3) to the window frame

behind the window transmitter in such a way that the distance between the magnet housing and the window transmitter is no more than 7mm when the window is closed. The magnet housing can be attached to the window frame either with the enclosed adhesive pad or with a screw. To do this, open the magnet housing by levering out the bottom part (3c) with a suitable screwdriver.

1. If the magnetic housing is not close enough to the transmitter, you can reduce the distance by using the supplied packer parts (U).

2. After the packer parts and the bottom part of the magnet housing have been fixed, replace the magnet (3b) and then replace the upper housing part. Make sure that the upper part of the housing snaps into place correctly.

ENCODING EXHAUST CONTROL

The window transmitter is not encoded at the factory and needs to be programmed to the receiver during initial operation.

Please keep to the exact sequence!

1. Insert the plug on the equipment to be switched (e.g. exhaust hood) into the RECEIVER.
2. Then insert the RECEIVER into a mains socket. The power LED (6) flashes yellow if the RECEIVER is functioning correctly. The receiver is now in learning mode for 20 seconds.
3. Insert the battery CR2032 into the window transmitter and slide the switch (11) into position „I“ to turn the device on.
4. Activate the window TRANSMITTER by holding the magnet (3) against the transmitter (2) once and then removing it. The LED installed in the transmitter will

illuminate. The power LED (6) on the RECEIVER stops flashing and the programming process is complete.

1. The TRANSMITTER has now been programmed to the RECEIVER and the AS-510 is ready for use.
2. The receiver goes into learn mode for 20 seconds after every mains power failure. If no new window transmitter is taught then the old encoding remains.
