• Electrically operated unit. Danger of death by electrocution or fire.

To avoid injury and material damage it is mandatory to observe the following instructions:

- Only insert the Europlug of the standard connecting cable into a suitable 230 V AC socket.

- If the mains connection cable for this device is damaged, it must be replaced by SIEGENIA,

their customer service department, or similar qualified personnel in order to prevent hazards.

- Should work on the 230 V AC mains power supply be necessary in order to connect the device,

it may only be performed by a qualified electrician.

- An all-pole safety isolation is required when the customer lays the power cable. The fuses may

need to be removed.

- Current local regulations (such as VDE 0100 in Germany) must be observed. Relevant

country-specific regulations must be strictly followed for all work on the voltage supply system or
house wiring system.

- Should a hard object or fluid get into the interior of the device, stop operation immediately and

disconnect the device from the mains power supply.

Function

The low-noise AEROPAC wall-mounted ventilator uses an electrically operated blower to draw in
fresh air from the outside and provide controlled and energy-efficient fresh filtered air inside.

When the blower is switched off, the unit equalises the pressure of the indoor and outdoor air to
allow fresh air from the outside to flow inside (pressure differential principle).

Various filters may be used, depending on the intended use of the unit:

AEROPAC G3 dust filter For coarse dust
AEROPAC F5 dust filter For pollen/fine dust
AEROPAC activated carbon filter E.g. exhaust fume odours

Features

The AEROPAC offers the following features:

• Sound absorption

• Low internal noise

• Filters dust and exhaust fume odours

• Filter change indicator

• Adjustable airflow

• Timer function

The AEROPAC wave unit type offers the following additional features:

• Device control by means of a Z-Wave wireless network

The AEROPAC DD unit type exchanges the air in a room without a blower (pressure
differential principle).

Carton contents

• AEROPAC wall-mounted ventilator with G3 dust filter

• Original Operating Instruction plus drilling template

• Mounting kit consisting of two screws, two dowels and one stopper

• Weather grill F. (made of plastic)

Installation

Installation requirements

• If the unit is to be installed in a room with a heating unit that draws air from the room (e.g. a
fireplace), prior authorisation must be obtained from the proper authorities.

• Suitable location for installation:

- In the vicinity of a 230 V AC power connection (max. cable length: 4.5 m)

- When a permanent mains connection is used: over a flush-mounted box

- Not in the immediate vicinity of radiator thermostats

• On a smooth, even wall.

• Ensure that no cables or pipes are concealed inside the wall at the unit’s designated position.

• Keep the unit free from dirt during installation and before start-up.

• To prevent damage to the high-quality surface of the unit, it is advisable to wear suitable gloves

during the installation.

Step1: Marking the holes and drilling the core hole

Risk of damage to property by drilling through concealed
cables or pipes.

› Before installing the unit, use a suitable cable and pipe detector at the installation location to

identify the presence of concealed cables or pipes in the wall (such as water pipes):

1. Use a level to ensure the drilling template
(included) is vertical (see the installation
requirements) and fix to the wall.

2. Mark two drilling mounting holes and the
core hole bore (for the supply air from
outside) on the wall. If required, mark an
additional mounting drill hole (B) that may
be used to additionally secure the unit.

B

mm

3. Drill the core hole: (Ø =>82 mm). Using a
hammer drill at an angle of approx.
2° to 5°, drill a hole through to the
outside wall.

Attention! If the AEROPAC is combined with
a reveal channel, follow the appropriate
assembly instructions.

Step 2: Drilling the mounting holes and inserting the fixing screws

1. Drill the two marked mounting holes and, if
required, the additional mounting hole (B)
(all drilled holes should have a diameter of
8 mm and be at least 45 mm deep).

B

2. Insert two S8 dowels (included in the
delivery) into the drill holes (B).
Note: depending on the type of wall
(e.g. plasterboard), suitable dowels may
need to be provided by the customer for
inserting into the drill holes.

3. Insert the two supplied countersunk wood
screws (DIN 7995 – 5 x 50 mm) into the
dowels and screw in so that each screw
protrudes by 8 mm.

B

Step 3: Inserting the PVC ventilation pipe into the core boring

1. Shorten the PVC ventilation pipe (included
in the delivery) to the thickness of the wall
(dimension X).

2. Push the ventilation pipe into the core
boring so that both ends are flush with the
wall.

Installation recommendations for the PVC ventilation pipe

The gap between the PVC ventilation pipe and the core boring must be properly sealed inside the
room and outside.

Please note the following:

• Ensure that the gap to be sealed is wide enough to allow for movement in the materials.

• Insulate the gap (heat insulation)

• Seal the gap outside so that it is resistant to driving rain

• Seal the gap inside the room so that it is air-tight

• The following principle applies: “inside tighter than outside”

Heat insulation

For gaps over >6 mm, it is essential that the insulation is free of voids and suitable insulating material
is used for all wall systems.

Clean the gap. Ensure that the holding surfaces are clean and free of grease. In particular, remove
any residues of insulating material.

Insert the insulating material

PVC-pipe ø 80 mm

Gap > 6 mm
