Installation and maintenance on the ventilation unit should only be carried out by specially trained personal in accordance
with the regulations on occupational safety and accident prevention.
The electrical connection must be carried out according the applicable national regulation. During installation
and maintenance work, all poles must be disconnected from the mains with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
Disconnections must be fixed in the open position!!
The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. Improper use, installation or maintenance work carried out incorrectly and structural
modifications may affect the function and safety of the ventilation unit. In this case the warranty claims will not be valid.
Read these instructions carefully before beginning any installation or maintenance work and follow the advice given on installation and
maintenance.
Before installing the unit, check that the delivery is complete and intact, and contact us, at the address below, if any parts are missing or
damaged.
Intended use
Fox up ventilation units with heat recovery are designed for controlled room ventilation. The units should only be used to deliver air. The delivery of aggressive, flammable or dust-containing media is not permitted. Never operate the unit without the filter in place. The connection
of ventilation pipes from other ventilation systems is not permitted.
Fox up ventilation units are not suitable for construction drying, and should only be used once construction work has been finished.
Operating the unit in conjunction with heat-producing appliances may require additional safety devices. Relevant information is available
from a regionally qualified chimney sweep.
Placing the unit
Fox up ventilation units may only be installed and operated indoors. When selecting a site, please make sure that the unit is accessible for
service and maintenance. The unit must not be installed close to flammable liquids or gases. A mains supply (230 V/50 Hz) is required to
operate the unit.

2. PRODUCTINFORMATION
2.1 Mode of operation
The Fox up ventilation unit is a decentralized ventilation system for a controlled room ventilation with heat recovery. The use
of several units in pairs allows entire housing units / buildings to be ventilated.
If operated with heat recovery, the ventilation unit works in 2 prefixed time intervals. In the first interval (extraction phase),
the “used” air in the room is sucked into the ventilation unit by the fan and carried to the outside. During this process, the air flows through
the ceramic heat accumulator inside the ventilation unit, which extracts the heat from the air and stores it.
In the second interval (delivery phase), “fresh” outside air is sucked in via the ventilation unit’s exterior opening. It passes through the unit,
and is heated by the heat accumulator before entering the room. In this way, up to 90% of the heat contained in the extracted air can be
transferred to the fresh air fed into the room. The principle of recharging and discharging a heat accumulator is referred as regenerative
heat transfer.
When a single unit is used, an overpressure (delivery phase) or under pressure (extraction phase) is created in the room being ventilated,
this depends on the operating phase. To guarantee a balance between the volumes of air delivered and extracted, it is recommended that
Fox up units be used in pairs. The control of the ventilation units allows up to three pairs of units to be operated simultaneously.
2.2 Planning notes
Before installing Fox up ventilation units, a ventilation plan should be made. This specifies the number of ventilation units,
their locations, the ventilation principle (transverse ventilation, single-room ventilation). Also it specifies the position and
number of the associated electronic control systems. Fox up ventilation units allow the following variations in ventilation:
• Single-room ventilation with one ventilation unit, alternating between delivery and extraction modes with heat recovery at intervals,
alternatively delivery* or extraction* mode (* depending on the electrical connection, see page 9).
• Transverse ventilation with ventilation units operating in pairs, alternating between delivery and extraction modes with heat recove-
ry. While one unit of a pair runs in delivery mode, the designated second unit operates in extraction mode. The air direction of both units
swapping in the next interval, alternatively delivery* or extraction* mode (* depending on the electrical connection, see page 9)
.
Where possible, Fox up ventilation units should be used in pairs see Mode of operation. The pairs of units can be used in one or multiple
rooms. It can also be arranged across more than one floor within a unit. The air must be free to flow between the rooms which needs to be
ventilated by means of sufficient dimensioned overflow openings (e.g. door air grilles or shortened door leaves).
To prevent that odors are being transferred to other rooms (delivery phase of ventilation unit), two units operating in a push-pull arrangement should always be installed when airing/ventilating kitchens, bathrooms or toilets with windows.
Fox up units should not be used in internal, windowless exhaust-air rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. It is not permissible to
connect the units to a shaft or pipe. In this case, the use of an exhaust fan in accordance with the national norm is recommended, e.g. the
BRAVO fan type.
EN
The units are also unable to be installed in cellar rooms with light shafts, since it is possibility that the outgoing air is recirculated. When
the units are installed on a façade there needs to be a minimum distance of 1.2 m between individual units in order to avoid recirculation.
We recommend not using the unit in a location on the building that is exposed to the wind with a average wind speed of more then 5 m/s.
To prevent the ventilation units from causing inconvenience draughts, they should not be positioned directly next to people who are a
longer time in one place (seating, beds). Make sure that the flow of air into the room is not obstructed by furniture or curtains

the protective covers.
Finally, fill the cavities (if any) between the wall opening and
the wall duct with non-pressurized
expanding foam.
7. INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The electronic control system of Fox up ventilation units
is designed to be installed in a double hollow cavity
flush-mounted box. It can be used to control up to six Fox
up ventilation units.
The electronic control system is to be connected as stationary equipment with fixed wiring.
See page 9 for electrical connection diagram.
The supply voltage of the electronic control system is 230 V/50 Hz. A light-plastic sheathed cable 3 x 1.5 mm2 (e.g. NYM-J 3 x 1.5 mm2) is
recommended as an incoming line.
The ventilation units are supplied by 12 V DC in combination with a PWM controlling signal. Therefore, the ventilation units should not under
any circumstances be connected to the 230 V mains voltage of the electronic control system. A light-plastic sheathed cable 3 x 0.25 mm2
(e.g. LiYY 3 x 0.25 mm2) is recommended as a control line for the ventilation units with a maximum length of 10m.

To prevent water from entering the wall opening,
the façade-side transition between the wall duct and the
support frame for the weatherproof protective hood must be
sealed all round with silicone or some other suitable sealant!
Slide the filter insert (1) supplied with the ventilation unit into
the wall duct and close the inner plate (2) of the ventilation
unit (magnetic catch).
Finally, install the unit’s façade-side weatherproof protective
hood (3). The hood is clipped onto a lug on the top of the
support frame and attached to the bottom of the support frame
using the fastening screw as supplied (4).
9.3 Functional test of ventilation unit(s)
Once installed, the function of the unit(s) must be checked. Before carrying out the check, make sure that the air passages of the ventilation unit(s) are free from assembly residues / foreign bodies and that all electrical work was carried out and completed in a technically
correct manner!
After switching on the power supply (generally via the electrical
installation’s automatic circuit-breakers), the ventilation unit can be
started using the electronic control system’s control panel. At start-up,
check all the unit functions as described at page 18 of the operating
instructions, making sure that the fan motor is running quietly and
smoothly.
Any malfunctions or faults found in the ventilation unit must be corrected before the unit is finally put into operation. Possible causes of faults
and their rectification are described in the section entitled Malfunctions

3. SETTINGS FOR VENTILATION MODE
3.1 Settings for ventilation mode
The operating variants of Fox up ventilation units are set using the control panel of the electronic control system of the ventilation units. Two basic functions with different fan powers can be set :
Summer mode function ------->
Winter mode function ------->
1. Summer mode function (delivery or extraction mode without heat recovery):
In this setting, the ventilation unit(s) work constantly in delivery* or extraction* mode, without heat recovery. *The operating mode
is defined by the electrical connection; the unit can be connected to the electronic control system as a delivery or extraction unit (see
Electrical connection page 9)
2. Winter mode function (delivery and extraction mode with heat recovery):
The ventilation unit(s) work alternately in 2 set time intervals. In the first interval (extraction phase), the “used” air in the room is sucked into the ventilation unit and pushed to the outside. During this process, the air flows through the ceramic heat accumulator inside
the ventilation unit, which extracts the heat from the air and stores it.
In the second interval (delivery phase), “fresh” outside air is sucked into the ventilation unit. It passes through the unit, and is heated by
the heat accumulator before entering the room.
If the Fox up ventilation units are used in pairs, the units in a pair work in opposite directions, i.e. the first unit in delivery mode and the
• Fox up ventilation system with 3 delivery and 3 extraction units:
16
3.2 Minimum ventilation option
To guarantee a permanent minimum ventilation, there is the option with Fox up ventilation units of setting a constant ventilation mode at a minimum power stage. Depending on the setting, the ventilation unit(s) work in summer or winter mode. It is
not possible to switch off the unit using the electronic control system’s control panel.
The minimum ventilation is activated / deactivated by re-plugging a jumper on the back of the control panel of the electronic control system. To activate the minimum ventilation, the control panel of the electronic control system must be detached (carefully remove control
panel), and the minimum ventilation is activated on the disconnected control panel as described below:
Attention:
Before changing the jumper position, all poles of the power supply to the ventilation unit must be disconnected. Disconnections must be immobilised in the open position!
If the jumper on the back of the control panel is
plugged in, the ventilation unit can be switched off
using the “down” arrow key (see fig. page 18).
Ventilation is interrupted, and the “unit off” signal
lamp (see fig. page 18) lights up.
< ---- alternative --->
If the jumper on the back of the control panel has
been removed or is only plugged into one pin, minimum ventilation is activated. The ventilation unit is
not completely switched off using the “down” arrow
key (see fig. page 18), but runs continuously at a
minimum power stage.
The activated minimum ventilation is signaled by
the pulsing “unit off” signal lamp (see fig. page
18).

5. EXTERNAL CONTROL INPUTS FOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
• External input for moisture control
To quickly remove moisture when ventilating rooms with a high moisture load, e.g. baths, showers, the output of the Fox
up ventilation units can be increased depending on the moisture via an external hygrostat (= moisture-dependent switch).
The switching point (= moisture level) for increasing the power is set on the hygrostat. If the set moisture level (recommended settings,
summer: 65-80% RH, winter: 55-65% RH) is exceeded, the hygrostat activates power stage 3 in the ventilation unit.
Hygrostats are connected to contacts 1 and 2 of the “external inputs” connector on the electronic control system of the ventilation unit as
shown in the connection diagram on page 9.
External moisture mode is displayed on the electronic control system’s control
panel by the flashing of the “power level 3” signal lamp.
If the power level is not changed manually on the control panel, the unit will
continue to operate at the last active power stage after the external contact is
switched off again.
Power stage 3 of the externally activated moisture mode can be reduced to power
stage 2 or 1 using the electronic control system’s control panel. To ensure that the
increased humidity is reduced, it is not possible to switch off the unit or return it to
the “minimum ventilation” power stage.
EN
• “Unit off” external input:
To prevent moisture damage in your rooms, Fox up ventilation units have been designed for continuous ventilation. If the ventilation nevertheless has to be interrupted* at certain times, the ventilation unit can be switched off via an external switch / time switch.
The switch / time switch is connected to contacts 3 and 4 of the “external inputs” connector on the electronic control system of the ventilation unit as shown in the connection diagram on page 9.
A ventilation unit switched off externally* is indicated on the control panel of the
electronic control system by the flashing of the “OFF” signal lamp.
If the power level is not changed manually on the control panel, the unit will
continue to operate at the last active power stage after the external contact is
switched on again.
A ventilation unit switched off externally* can be switched back on by pressing the
“power level up” key on the control panel of the electronic control system.
* The external switching off of the ventilation unit depends on the “minimum
ventilation” jumper setting (see page 17). If minimum ventilation is activated,
the operation of the system is not interrupted when switched off externally, but
reduced to minimum ventilation. Minimum ventilation is displayed on the remote
control by the pulsing of the “OFF” signal lamp.

6 . CLEANING / MAINTENANCE OF THE VENTILATION UNIT
The mechanical and electrical components of Fox up ventilation units are maintenance-free. Over time, however, airborne grease, particular matter, etc. cause the filter used in the unit to become dirty and leave a fine deposit on the fins of the heat accumulator and the blades
of the fan.
To guarantee the trouble-free operation of the ventilation unit, the filter insert, heat accumulator and fan must be checked and cleaned at
regular intervals as described below.
Dirt on the room- and/or façade-side air inlet/outlet openings (see ventilation unit components page 15) can be removed with a damp
cloth. Never use detergents containing solvents, as these corrode the surfaces (plastic coating) of the air inlet/outlet openings!
6.1 Maintenance of the filter insert
The filter used in the ventilation unit is monitored by an operating time meter in the electronic control system. After 3 months
(2,750 hours’ operation), the “filter change / fault” signal lamp lights up permanently on the control panel of the electronic
control system to indicate it is time to check the filter insert. Checking / cleaning of the filter insert is described below.
Attention:
Before all maintenance work, all poles of the power supply to the ventilation unit must be disconnected. Disconnections must be immobilized in the open position!
To check the filter, the inner valve (1) must be removed. The valve is attached to its support frame with magnets and can easily be pulled
out. After removing the inner valve, the filter insert (2) can be removed from the wall duct for checking.
• Remove filter insert
If only slightly soiled (no or little dust deposits), the filter insert can
be vacuumed or shaken. If there are significant dust deposits, the
filter insert must be rinsed with warm water (max. 60 °C).
In the case of significant grease deposits, the filter insert can be cleaned in water
mixed with detergent (degreaser). Any detergent residues must be completely
rinsed off with clean water.
Before putting the cleaned filter insert back into the ventilation unit, allow it to dry
completely. A damp filter will gather dust straight away!
Place the dried filter insert back into the wall duct of the ventilation unit and re-attach the ventilation unit’s inner valve to its support frame.
After checking / cleaning the filter insert and switching the power supply to the
ventilation unit back on, the operating time meter that monitors the filter insert must
be restarted. This is done via the control panel of the ventilation unit’s electronic
control system:
20
continued 6.1 Remove filter insert
The operating time meter is restarted by jointly pressing the “summer mode” and “winter
mode” keys and holding them down until the red “filter change / fault” LED goes out
(approx. 5 seconds).
Note:
Filter monitoring can also be restarted as described above without prior notice from the
filter change indicator, e.g. in connection with a regular overhaul.
The filter inspection request is issued on a time-dependent basis after 3 months’ operation,
regardless of how dirty the filter actually is. However, depending on the amount of dirt in
the fresh air that is delivered, it may be appropriate to change the filter sooner. It is therefore
recommended that the filter is checked in the first year after the ventilation unit is put into
operation at three-month intervals. The inspection/cleaning interval must be reduced if the
amount of dirt in the filter is clearly higher.
6.2 Maintenance of the heat accumulator / fan
The heat accumulator and fan should only be checked / cleaned by someone with specialist knowledge. It is therefore recommended that the ventilation unit be checked once a year by an expert. During this inspection, the “inner workings” of the unit
should be removed and checked for dirt / damage.
If damage is found, the affected parts are to be replaced before the ventilation unit is put back into use. Spare/replacement parts are
available from us at the address below.
Unit components should only be dismantled by a qualified electrician with the ventilation unit disconnected from the mains
(contact gap at least 3 mm).
EN
To check the heat accumulator and fan, the entire fan unit must be removed from the wall duct:
• Remove fan unit
To remove the fan unit, the ventilation unit’s inner plate (1) must be removed. The
plate is attached to its support frame with magnets and can easily be pulled of.
After removing the inner plate, the filter insert (2) and the fan unit (3) can be
removed from the wall duct.
If only slightly soiled, the heat accumulator / fan can be vacuumed. More significant
accumulations of dirt on the fan can be removed with a small brush or a paintbrush.
If the heat accumulator is heavily soiled, it must be removed from the fan unit and
rinsed with water.
21
R
• Remove heat accumulator
The heat accumulator is inserted inside the fan unit and can be
removed from this for cleaning.
Dirt on the heat accumulator can be removed with a rose (shower /
bathtub) with warm water (max. 70 °C). For heavy soiling / grease
deposits, the heat accumulator can be cleaned in water mixed with
detergent (degreaser). Any detergent residues must be completely
rinsed off with clean water.
After being cleaned, the heat accumulator must be completely
dried (e.g. in the oven, max. 70 °C). A damp heat accumulator will
gather dust straight away!
Place the dried heat accumulator back in the fan unit and position the complete fan unit back in the wall duct.
To ensure the unit functions correctly, a complete functional test of the ventilation unit must be carried out after reinserting cleaned or
repaired components and switching the power back on (see page 19).
7. ERROR MESSAGES / MALFUNCTIONS
7.1 Error messages
Besides reporting that the filter needs checking, the “filter change / fault” signal lamp (see page 19) on the control panel
of the ventilation unit’s electronic control system also indicates a communication error between control unit and electronic
control system.
The communication error is reported by the repeated three-time flashing of the “filter change / fault” LED. If this message appears, the
connection between the ventilation unit’s control panel and the electronic control system must be checked by a qualified electrician.
Attention:
Before all maintenance work, all poles of the power supply to the ventilation unit must be disconnected.
Disconnections must be immobilized in the open position!
To check the connection between the control panel and the electronic control system, the control panel must be removed from the electronic control system. Then check the contacts of the connection for damage / foreign bodies / moisture.
Foreign bodies must be carefully removed from the connection. Mechanically damaged components or components damaged by moisture
must be replaced. Contact our spare/replacement parts department at the address below.
To ensure the unit functions correctly, a complete functional test of the ventilation unit must be carried out after repairing components
(see page 18).

7.2 Functional faults
The following table describes possible functional faults and how to solve the problem. Because faults are mainly caused
by errors in the power supply / electrical connection, the faults must be determined / rectified by a qualified electrician.
Therefore, if such faults occur, please contact the installer of your ventilation unit or us at the address below.
Fault Cause Rectification
- Check power supply (fuse)
Fan not working
- Power failure / interruption
- Connection error
