TECHNICAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
The ALTAIR ensures optimum ventilation of a house with a maximum energy recovery. It draws air from the rooms (bathroom(s), toilet, kitchen and wash room(s)) and supplies fresh air through the main rooms (living room, bedroom (s), offi ce, etc ).
The fresh and extract airflows are separated and filtered. Only heat energy is transferred to the fresh filtered air that is introduced. Due to the high-efficiency heat exchanger used in the ALTAIR performance can reach 86%.
Condensation forms during the heat exchange process and is recovered in the condensate tray, which must be connected to a waste water drain.

• Outdoor air (ODA):
  Install the fresh air intake (wall or roof) at a sufficient distance from any source of high pollution (trees, exhaust fumes, roads, etc.) This duct must be sealed and insulated to prevent condensation.
• Supply air (SUP):
  To avoid thermal losses and optimize the performance of the installation, it is recommended to use insulated duct.
• Extract air (ETA):
  To avoid thermal losses and optimize performance of the installation, it is recommended to use insulated ducts.
• Exhaust air (EHA):
  This duct must be sealed and insulated to prevent condensation. This duct must be sealed and insulated to prevent condensation.

DIMENSIONS AND ELECTRIC CONNECTION

REMOTE CONTROL

SPCM-1 (optional)

INSTALLATION

To avoid the vibration transmission and noise to the duct, we recommend to use flexible connections.

• Supply/Extract Air: Installation of flexible silencers type LAF 95 (article code: 5209358600 / LAF 95 0,5M or 5209358500 / LAF 95 1M)
• Outdoor/Exhaust Air: connection with flexible duct thermally insulated type GP ISO ECOSOFT (article number: 5209346600 GP-ISO 100/25 6M ECOSOFT

The drain pipe should be installed with a drop of min. 1% to assure a good drainage and has to be connected to a with water filled siphon. Please assure that the access opening to the unit is big enough to allow maintenance or replacing the unit.

• It is recommended to install the ALTAIR in the heated zone of the house. The minimum temperature should not be less than +10ºC.
• In climate zones where outdoor temperatures are often under -10ºC it is recommended to install a pre-heater.
• The ALTAIR heat recovery unit is designed for indoor installation

START UP

Installer
The remote control allows to adjust:

• Airflows (3 speeds)
• Period for filter maintenance
• Balance of supply/extract airflow

To adjust the speed please turn the corresponding potentiometer with a small screw driver in the wished position. The ALTAIR 120 is working with constant airflow. This allow to adjust the airflow as in the tables below without the necessity to balance. The potentiometer “balance airflows” allows to work in over/under pressure if wished.

Adjustment of the filter maintenance period
It is possible to set the period to 6, 9, 12, or 15 months (12 month factory setting). The filter clogging depends on the pollution of the area where the unit is installed. We recommend checking the time in which the filter clogs and adjusting this period. It is advisable to do this after the second fi lter change. Of course, after the installation, the extract air is dusty and not representative. During the second filter check, if you notice that the filters are clean you can increase the time, if you notice the filters are very dirty you should decrease the time. Lift the cover of the control and adjust the timer as shown. To do this set the dipswitches 1 and 2 as in the drawings below.

Adjustment of the relative humidity %
The Altair has as a standard a humidity sensor in the extract air installed. This sensor allows to adjust the velocity in dependence of the relative humidity in the extract air. The upper limit of the relative humidity can be adjusted with the potentiometer as shown below (factory setting position A=84% rH).

Electronic board description

SPCM-1 COMMUNICATIONS MODULE: (optional)

The SPCM-1 communications board will allow you to connect the ALTAIR unit with the S&P IoT Platform: CONNECTAIR. To connect the SPCM-1 module to the ALTAIR you must first disconnect the control (14) and then connect the SPCM-1 with the cable supplied to the same terminal block (14). The communications module box can be attached to the ALTAIR for the Velcro type element. We recommend sticking it to one of the sheet metal braces to ensure its correct fixation. If it is not possible, two screws with their respective plugs are attached to be fi xed to the wall. To allow the output of ALTAIR to the Internet, you must first connect it to your router. The SPCM-1 communications module has a wired (ETHERNET) or wireless (WIFI) connection. Follow the instructions you will find in the module box.

Remote control adjustments – USER

Speed adjustment
Pressing the “speed adjustment” buttons you can change the airfl ow. The LED of the active botton will light green (left fan symbol= decrease speed, right fan symbol=increase speed).

Automatic mode
Pressing the button “A” there can be activated the automatic mode. In the automatic mode works the unit proportional in dependence of the humidity measured in the extract airflow. The working range is between 45% humidity and the 80% relative humidity. The max. humidity can be adjusted as explained in “Adjustment of the relative humidity %”.

FILTER MAINTENANCE
We recommend a periodical maintenance of the filters (minimum 1x year). After the adjusted period de alarm will be activate. For changing the filter, please remove the plastic taps (1) put the filters (2) out and substitute them with new ones. After changing the filter put back the plastic taps.

Everytime when fi lters are replaced the filter maintenance period has to be reseted pressing the button “A” during 5 seconds.

STANDBY FUNCTION
Push and hold the button for 3 seconds, the unit will switch into the standby mode. During the standby mode the button (posar simbol ventilador) will be red illuminated (see drawing below). To switch the unit on push the button again.

ALARM INDEX
Through the LED located in the “A” button on the remote control it is possible to supervise the status of the unit. This LED will show the alarm in case of a failure or missfunction on the unit. Depending on the risk level of the generated alarm the unit will stop for safety reasons

GENERAL DATA

PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE AND RECYCLING
EEC legislation and our consideration of future generations mean that we should always recycle materials where possible; please do not forget to deposit all packaging in the appropriate recycling bins. If your device is also labeled with this symbol, please take it to the nearest Waste Management Plant at the end of its servicable life.
