Why ClimaRad ventilation?

Ventilations is a pure necessity. Unfortunately some people tend to forget! Insufficient ventilation can cause serious damage in a building. Fungi and woodrot can cause permanent deterioration of the construction (In the Netherlands alone, this type of damage accounts for many tenths of millions of Euro).

Allergenic and hazardous substances in too high concentrations-- are perhaps an even more serious threat with severe consequences for your health.

Ergo, you can never have enough fresh air. But there is a snag. Ventilation also requires energy, not only to run the fans but especially because fresh air is also cold air that needs to be heated to room temperature. In modern buildings these so-called 'ventilation losses' may account to as much as 50% of the total heating costs. Because of this, modern or refurbished houses are usually as air-tight as possible and the inhabitants are stuck with a dilemma: “How do I get a good indoor air quality without wasting energy?

ClimaRad is your answer! It provides healthy ventilation and it saves energy.

CO , Indoor Air Quality and ClimaRad

People produce CO and humidity through breathing. In

occupied, badly vented rooms the CO -concentration will

increase rapidly. High concentrations of CO are not

damaging on the short term, but they create a damp and smelly indoor climate. If people stay in such a climate for a

longer period it may irritate eyes, throat and nose. Also, most obvious at work or school, higher CO concentrations

are known to affect the ability to concentrate.

Apart from that, CO is an important indicator for the

presence of other hazardous substances (VOCs, solvents, formaldehyde, radon, fine dust particles, etc.) that can be detrimental to your health. In other words, a CO concen-

tration below certain threshold values usually guarantees a good indoor air quality overall.

The table below shows threshold values for CO

concentration that are used in practice.

Desired CO -concentrations indoor climate:

Nominal : 1200 ppm CO

80% satisfied : 1000 ppm CO

People with respiratory problems : 800 ppm CO

The ClimaRad Sensotronic features a CO sensor that

measures the CO level and automatically adjusts the fan

speed to maintain the desired level. Thus the ClimaRad always provides the adequate ventilation.

Page 9

Humidity and ClimaRad

Every day several litres of condense and humidity are released in a house because of the presence of people and certain activities like cooking, washing and cleaning. Apart from that, in new homes, humidity may stem from the building construction.

Mites, fungi and rot thrive on a high humidity level in the house. The mites and fungi can cause allergies and wood rot can be detrimental to the building construction.

Adequate ventilation can prevent high humidity. The ClimaRad has a humidity sensor that will react to high humidity levels and try to lower it in an intelligent way. For instance, if in (rare) cases the absolute outdoor humidity is higher, no extra ventilation will occur.

Outside Air and ClimaRad

Depending on where you live, outdoor air may be polluted with allergenics (pollen), exhaust fumes (benzene), lead and fine dust particles. Obviously these substances are not desired indoors.

There are two types of filters available for the intake-duct of a ClimaRad to remove these substances:

A fine dust and pollen filter and

a combi-filter for fine dust with an additional active coal filter

Energy Use and ClimaRad

By far the most popular way of ventilation is opening windows and ventilation-grids.

A considerable drawback of this “method” is that it is unpredictable whether the ventilation is too little, unnecessary or just enough. On top of that, the warm indoor air is lost before its heat content (energy) being put to good use. This energy waste is not only bad for your wallet, but also for the environment.

ClimaRad has an air-to-air heat exchanger that transfers the heat of the outgoing air to the ingoing cold air. This saves a bundle on your heating costs, but also the ClimaRad is especially equipped to perform its function with a minimum consumption of electricity. It uses DC fans in combination with a highly efficient power supply. At a ventilation rate of 40 m³ per hour the electricity consumption is as low as 7 W. At 80 m³/h it is a mere 25 W. The stand-by power use (fans-off but sensors still working) is as low as 1.5W.

Page 10

ClimaRad: Energy Saving and Healthy

ClimaRad has solved the dilemma: A healthy indoor climate and saving energy at the same time is possible.

Any dwelling with at least one outside wall can have an optimal indoor air quality. You set the desired level of air quality and the intelligent Sensotronic automatically takes care of the rest. If you leave the room, the ClimaRad Sensotronic detects the decreased CO2-level and will automatically reduce the fanspeed. Even opening a window doesn't escape the attention of the Sensotronic and it will cut back the fan-speed without the user having to lift a finger!

Always a good indoor air quality at the lowest possible energy bill. That is what the ClimaRad has to offer!

Page 11

How does the ClimaRad work?

Sensotronic

The ClimaRad-system is a combined heating and ventilation-system, especially developed for individual dwellings in residential and commercial buildings. In every dwelling the ClimaRad takes care of the indoor climate, independently of the number of people present. Its very short intake- and exhaust ducts do not require a complex air duct network in the home, making it the ideal system to install and maintain in both new and renovated houses.

The ClimaRad Parts

The ClimaRad-system consists of the following parts:

1 the ClimaRad radiator;

2 the ClimaRad balanced ventilation unit;

3 the ClimaRad mounting frame and radiator-supports;

4 the ClimaRad wall-ducts.

Depending on the configuration you ordered, a control panel is also part of your ClimaRad.

ClimaRad radiator

The ClimaRad is shipped with a specially developed one- or two-panel radiator. This radiator is connected to a conventional CH-system with flexible piping. Once mounted on its special supports, it can be tilted forward to allow for easy access to the ClimaRad balanced ventilation unit, e.g. for cleaning. The control of the ClimRad radiator is identical to what you are familiar with: a normal or a thermostatic valve. And should the situation require, there is no problem to install even motor-valves.

ClimaRad (balanced) ventilation unit

The ventilation-unit is located behind the radiator and consists of two maintenance-free DC fans (for air-intake and exhaust), a plastic heat exchanger, air-filters and an electronic control-unit; all this in a sturdy plastic housing.

Three types of ClimaRad balanced ventilation units are available:

The Sensotronic features CO - and humidity sensors

continuously measuring the air quality. The ventilation rate is PID-controlled on the basis of the desired air quality level. The user sets the desired air quality level through the control panel.

The Slave-Unit has no sensor, no central processing unit and no control panel en must always receive its settings from a Sensotronic version.

Air Filters

Every ClimaRad has a HAF (High Air Flow) air filters for the air-intake and the exhaust air. At the air intake side the filter cleans the incoming fresh air. Used air from the room is also passed through a filter to keep the ClimaRad heat exchanger clean. An light on the control panel indicates when the air intake filter needs inspection. The filter for the outgoing air needs some regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner from the outside (no need to dismount the filter). In principle this filter can be replaced. Both the intake and exhaust filters can be easily exchanged by the user and require no special tools (see chapter ‘Maintenance’).

Energy Saving

The ClimaRad is a balanced ventilation system with waste heat recovery. 'Balanced' implies that per time period-- the

amount of air that is extracted from the room equals the amount of fresh air. Waste heat recovery means that the heat of the used exhaust air is used as much as possible to preheat the incoming fresh air. This saves on your energy costs and prevents cold draughts from the incoming fresh air.

The automatic control of the ClimaRad Sensotronic also saves energy, because no unnecessary ventilation occurs. Finally, the DC fans, the efficient power supply and the low stand-by consumption contribute to minimal electricity consumption. (see technical specifications for typical use data).

Page 14

Installation Operating Instructions

Your ClimaRad needs to be installed by a qualified ClimaRad installer, who also has taken the additional ClimaRad installation-training. Only in that way, an optimal operation of your ClimaRad can be guaranteed.

Note: The power cord should only be replaced by qualified personnel. This product needs to be connected to a grounded wall socket (230V, 50 Hz).

Because ClimaRad requires no in-house system of air ducts it offers unique possibilities for installation.

For instance, in older existing homes and buildings you can start installing one ClimaRad in a room with critical air quality (e.g. a children's bedroom) and then expand the system gradually to other rooms in the house.

Also in new houses and commercial buildings the fact that you don't need an in-house duct system offers big advantages like lower installation costs, appropriate ventilation per room and ease of maintenance.

To optimise the energy saving potential of the ClimaRad it is recommended to use the ClimaRad units in the rooms and combine them with discontinuous extraction fans in the “wet” areas of the house (shower, toilet). 'Discontinuous' means for instance timer or humidity controlled.

After the installation, the installer is also responsible for testing en preparation for first use of the ClimaRad.

Page 15

Instructions for first use

Check if the power supply cord is correctly connected to a grounded wall socket (230V, 50 Hz)

The control panel allows you to check and alter the ventilation-settings. Check whether the control panel is properly connected. The ClimaRad also works without a control panel, but in that case settings cannot be checked or altered.

Switching on

You turn on the ClimaRad by switching on the on/off switch at the left lower bottom of the ventilation unit. The control panel indicators will light up and the electronics will perform a self-test during the first seconds.

Note: the ventilation-unit must always remain switched on. It may only be switched off during servicing and maintenance.

Control panel

See the illustration of the control panel on the inside cover.

The Sensotronic control panel allows the setting of the following parameters:

!Desired air quality !Base ventilation (on/off) !Pause button (max. 60 minutes fans off) !Boost button (max. 30 minutes at max. rate) !Night cooling button (max. 6 hours)

Also the panel has indicator lights for

!Filter inspection and !Malfunction

Setting Desired Air Quality

The Sensotronic default setting is “sensor controlled”, which means that the unit is automatically trying to realize the desired air quality level. With the help of the “+ “ (increase air quality) and “-“ (allow lower air quality) you can set the desired air quality.

The scale of the 5 indicator lights on the control panel of the Sensotronic corresponds to the following CO2 concentrations. (lower CO2 levels mean higher air quality level).

Base Ventilation

By switching the base ventilation 'on' you make sure there is always a minimum ventilation rate (even at correct CO2 level). Factory setting of the ventilation rate for the base ventilation is set at 5 m3 per hour. This means the ClimaRad ventilation unit will vent a few times per hour at the lowest ventilation rate.

Base ventilation 'on': press the

base ventilation button

The text '+basisventilatie' will

light up on the panel

Base ventilation 'off': press the

base ventilation button again.

The text '+basisventilatie' will disappear.

Pause

If you want to stop the ClimaRad fans for a short time (e.g. when there is a stench outside), you can use the 'Pause' button to temporarily deactivate the unit for an hour. After 60 minutes the ClimaRad control-unit will take over and resume venting as appropriate.

Start Pause: press the pause- button once. The ClimaRad will pause for 60 minutes.

End Pause: after 60 minutes the ClimaRad will automatically end the pause. To end the pause immediately press the pause- button again.

Page 18

Functions - Sensotronic

Boost

If you want to get rid of nasty smells or cigarette smoke, you can run the ClimaRad fans temporarily on maximum speed using the boost-button. After 30 minutes the ClimaRad automatically returns to sensor controlled mode and vent accordingly.

Boost 'on': press the boost- button. The ClimaRad will run both its fans at maximum speed for 30 minutes

The default maximum flow rate is 100 m3/h. Using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons you can change this value.

Boost 'off': press the boostbutton. This will immediately stop the boost-mode and the unit returns to the sensor controlled mode and vent accordingly.

Night Cooling

During the summer months it is often cool in the evening and at night. You can use this fresh air to cool your house by using the Night Cooling mode. When this mode is activated, the ClimaRad compares the inside and outside temperature and if the outside air is sufficiently colder, the ClimaRad will blow the cold outside air into your room for 6 hours. No room air is extracted. After 6 hours the ClimaRad automatically returns to the sensor controlled mode and vent accordingly. The default factory setting for the ventilation rate is 100 m3/h. Using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons you can change this ventilation rate.

Night Cooling 'on': press the

Cool Air button. The ClimaRad unit

will run both fans for a short while to measure inside and outside air temperature. During this preparatory stage the Cool Air indicator light will blink. If the temperature difference is high enough, the cooling phase will start and last for 6 hours. If there is not enough temperature difference the ClimaRad unit will wait for 15 minutes before doing another measurement.

Night Cooling 'off': press the

Cool Air button again. This

immediately ends the Night Cooling mode.

Indicators - Sensotronic

Filter polluted

After about 125.000 m3 of air has passed the filter (factory setting), a text saying 'filter vervuild' (filter polluted) will light up to prompt you to check the pollution level of the air-intake filter.

This indication does not influence the functionality of the ClimaRad. It is merely intended to make you aware of a possible pollution of the filter.

For inspection and replacement of the filter see the chapter on Maintenance.

Malfunction

If there is a malfunction in the ClimaRad the 'X'symbol will light up on the control panel.

Using the Trouble Shooting guide (Chapter 6) you can try to find the cause of the malfunction and what you can do to repair the malfunction.

Please limit yourself to simple and easy inspections of the air-ducts, filters and electrical connections. If this does not help, you should ask a qualified ClimaRad installer for assistance.

Warning:

Never remove bolted parts of the housing or the wiring. Opening the ClimaRad can lead to electric shocks and irreparable damage to the device.

Page 24

Maintenance

As every ventilation system the ClimaRad needs maintenance to guarantee a problem-free operation.

The maintenance on the ClimaRad is limited to a periodical inspection and occasional replacement of air filters as well as cleaning of the air-ducts.

Warning:

Never unscrew any parts of the ClimaRad housing. This can lead to electric shocks and irreparable damage to the device.

Air Filters

The ClimaRad ventilation unit has two filters: an air-intake filter and an exhaust filter.

The air-intake filter is very important, because it removes pollen, dust and several allergenic substances from the incoming air. In other words, substances you would rather not have in your longs.

The function of the exhaust filter is to guarantee an appropriate operation and efficiency of the heat exchanger, also on the long run. It filters dust and dirt particles from the air going out of the room.

It is important to inspect these filters regularly and if needed- replace them. It is not possible to prescribe a standard period for inspection and/or filter-replacement. It very much depends on the outdoor air quality in the area and the way the ClimaRad is used.

Brugman advices a filter inspection at least every 3 months. If it turns out that the pollution level is low, the frequency of filter-inspection can be lowered. In all cases the filters should be inspected at least every 6 months.

Page 25

Inspection/replacement of the air-intake filter

1. Accessing the filter-holder

First switch off the ClimaRad using the main switch at lower bottom of the device.

Tilt the radiator forward and remove the metal dust cover on top of the ventilation unit. Unclip the three blue clamps on top of the ventilation unit (1). This allows the filterholder (2) to be tilted forward.

2. Visible filter-inspection

Looking from the sides of the filter-holder, the colour of the filter can be checked. The original color is white. A lightgray color indicates some pollution. When the color is dark gray or black, replacement is highly recommended.

3. Filter replacement

The filter consists of two parts that can be removed by the filter-parts pulling sideways. Remove any packaging from the new filter-parts and slide them back in the appropriate slots. No tools are required.

Page 26

4. Closing the filter-holder

A. Tilt the filter-holder upwards (1).

B. Close the filter-holder clipping on the three clamps

Please make sure the filters are completed inserted in the filter-holder and are not sticking out. Also make sure that the area between the filter-holder and the housing is completely free of any tools or other objects. This can damage the filter-holder and cause air-leakage.

Once the filter-holder is closed, put the metal dust cover back on top of the ventilation unit, tilt the radiator back into vertical position and turn the ClimaRad back on.

5. Reset the filter-inspection counter

To reset the filter-inspection counter to zero after the filter is replaced, press the '+' and '-' button on the control panel simultaneously during 4 seconds. The text 'filter vervuild' (filter polluted) will now disappear from the control panel.

Inspection and cleaning (replacement) of the air-exhaust filter

This filter is positioned at the bottom of the ClimaRad, where the air is extracted from the room. For a visible inspection e.g. using a torch light-- you can see the filter and assess the filter's colour that indicates the degree of pollution (compare picture on previous page).

Page 27

1. Cleaning the air-exhaust filter

Regularly remove dust and other dirt particles in front of the exhaust filter with a vacuum cleaner, to guarantee free passage of the room air. To do this you do not have to remove the filter (see illustration).

When the filter colour is dark-grey (almost black), it is better to replace it, because at that stage fine dust particles might pollute the heat exchanger and affect its performance.

2. Release the filter-holder security

First switch off the ClimaRad using the main switch at the lower bottom. The filter-holder of the exhaust filter is secured with 2 screws that need to be removed. The filterholder still stays in place because of 2 clamps that are positioned behind the screws.

3. Tilt the filter-frame

Unclip the two clamps by gently pulling them forward. The filter-frame will tilt upward. It stays hinged at the top. There is no need to dismount the filter-frame completely !

Page 28

4. Replace the filter-elements

The exhaust filter consists of three separate filter-elements, each positioned in their own frame within the filter-holder. While keeping the filter-holder tilted upwards, press on each old filter-frame to remove it from its frame. And put a new filter-element back in.

5. Closing the filter-holder.

Tilt the filter-holder downwards until the two clamps snap back into position. Secure the filter-holder using the 2 screws.

Please make sure the filter-holder is closed correctly. This is very important for a proper functioning of the unit.

Finally turn the ClimaRad back on (main switch).

Inspection and cleaning of air-ducts

Your ClimaRad has two air-ducts that go through the facade: One intake duct for fresh air and an exhaust duct to expel room air. The round air-ducts connect to the backside of the ClimaRad ventilation unit and go straight through the outside wall.

Page 29

Inspection of the air-ducts

First switch the ClimaRad off (switch at the bottom left)

Tilt the ClimaRad radiator forward (1)

Remove the metal dust cover on top of the ClimaRad ventilation unit (2)

Remove the two blue and round inspection covers by turning them 350 degrees counter clockwise (1) and pulling them out (2).

This gives access to the air-ducts for inspection and cleaning.

Cleaning the air-ducts

Do not sharp or pointed objects for cleaning, as they may damage the air-ducts..

Do not use water directly, because this may short-circuit the electric and electronic parts of the unit. A humid cloth is allowed.

Parts of the air-ducts that are accessible by hand can be cleaned using a soft, dry or humid cleaning cloth. If the ducts are very polluted with dust it is advisable to use a vacuum cleaner.

Page 30

Inspection and cleaning of facade-outlets

If possibel, regularly check the intake and exhaust grills on the facade, especially on the ground-floor. Dirt, leaves and insects may block the air-passage. If necessary, dismount the grills and clean the anti-insect grid.

In some cases, where you cannot access the facade openings from the outside, it is possible to clean the duct and anti-insect grill from the inside using a vacuum cleaner, that can blow out air. Some vacuum cleaners have the option to connect the hose to the outlet and thereby allowing cleaning the air-ducts by blowing.

If this is not possible, please request the ClimaRad installer to clean the anti-insect grids in a maintenance visit. The installer can apply a compressor to blow clean the anti-insect grids and the grills from the inside.

Trouble shooting

There is no light showing on the control panel

The unit isn't connected to the electric mains. Check

whether the plug is connected to the wall socket (230 V, 50 Hz).

The unit is switched off. Switch it on using the on/off

switch at the left-bottom side of the ClimaRad ventilation unit.

The wire of the control panel is damaged or not

connected. Check the connectors of the wire to both the control panel and the ClimaRad ventilation unit. Make sure the connectors are snapped in correctly. If the wire is damaged, have it replaced by your ClimaRad-installer.

The backlight of the control panel is switched of. See

chapter on “Turn Backlight On/Off”

The fans don't work (Sensotronic)

The air quality is high enough. When the desired air

quality is reached, the fans don't work. This is normal operation behaviour. If you want to activate the fans anyway:

Increase the desired air quality, pressing the '+' button

on your control panel. After a while the ClimaRad fans will start to work.

Press the boost button. The ClimaRad will now run at

maximum speed for 30 minutes (unless you press the boost button again to make it return to normal operation).

Press the 'on' button to activate the base-ventilation. This

forces the ClimaRad to switch on a couple of times per hour to maintain a minimum overall ventilation rate of 5 m³/hr, independently of the air quality level.

The fans are turning, but I don't feel much air coming out of the unit.

Fans are running at a low speed. To avoid discomfort

(draughts, noise) the ClimaRad's air-inlet and outlet have a large surface area which makes low ventilation rates hard to detect.

The air-filters and/or air-ducts are blocked. Check the

filters and air-ducts. See instructions in the appropriate chapters.

If the filters and air-ducts are free, the heat exchanger

may be polluted. In that case, contact your ClimaRadinstaller.

The fans are running very fast (Sensotronic)

The air quality is bad. The ClimaRad Sensotronic tries to

achieve the desired air quality by turning up the flow rate. You can influence this by setting a lower desired air quality. This will cause the ClimaRad to turn down its flow rate after a while. Also you can press the 'pause' button to stop the fans from running for 60 minutes, irrespectively of the air quality.

Page 32

The ClimaRad control panel doesn't react to

pushing buttons

The control panel is locked (the 'Lock' indicator is lit).

Unlock the control panel (see appropriate chapter)

The wire between control panel and ClimaRad is damaged

or the connectors to both are faulty. Check and correct

There is a technical malfunction. Please contact a

qualified ClimaRad-installer.

The ClimaRad doesn't react to nasty smells

The Sensotronic sensors just register CO - and humidity

levels. A nasty smell in itself will not trigger ventilation. If you want to vent the room, use the boost button.

I hear an unfamiliar noise coming from the ClimaRad ventilation unit.

The air ducts are polluted. Inspect and clean.

The noise is caused by an off-balance fan. Please contact

a qualified ClimaRad-installer.

It is difficult to tilt the ClimaRad-radiator forward

The weight of a ClimaRad-radiator tilting forward is

compensated by a patented construction in the radiator supports to ensure safe and easy tilting action. Turn the appropriate bolts in the radiator-supports (see illustration on the right) counter clockwise to lower the compensation-energy.

The ClimaRad-radiator tilts forward too fast

The weight of a ClimaRad-radiator tilting forward is

De ClimaRad-radiator cannot tilt forward at all.

The hinges of the radiator supports are blocked. Check

for any objects blocking the mechanism.
