A purpose of this function is to protect the unit from freezing by creating an unbalanced airflow
at extreme winter temperatures or to limit supply of cold/hot outdoor air at extreme winter/
summer conditions with balanced ventilation.
Function operates by lowering the speed of supply air fan (SAF) or both supply and extract air
fans (SAF/EAFC) by value set in Stop Compensation Value setting (adjustable from 0% to
50%) if the outdoor air temperature (OAT) drops below adjustable value set in StartCompensation Temperature setting (during winter from 0 °C to -30 °C / during summer
from 15 °C to 30 °C). This compensation reaches the maximum as soon as the outdoor air

6.2.1Description of Components
6.2.1.1Fans
Fans have an external EC type rotor which can be steplessly controlled individually 16–100%. The motor bearings are
life time lubricated and maintenance free. It is possible to remove the fans for cleaning, see “User Manual” for more
information.
| 01_1.8.0
Page 33
Service
|
6.2.1.2Filters
The factory installed filters are of filter quality F7/ePM1 60% for the supply air and M5/ePM10 50% for the extract air
filter. The filters need to be replaced when polluted. New sets of filters can be acquired from your installer or
wholesaler.
Filter quality F8/ePM1 70% can be installed for supply air filtering.
The filter type is labelled on the top of the filter
6.2.1.3Defrost damper
The built in bypass damper (pos. 5 figure 9) is involved in defrosting, cool recovery, and supply air temperature control
of the unit. The damper motor is controlled by an analogue 0–10 V signal.
A test sequence which opens and closes the damper will occur if there is heating demand and after every power up of
the unit. An actuator drive detects if the bypass is able to close completely. If a signal is not detected within two minutes after the function test has been initiated, then the warning Bypass Damper appears in the HMI.
6.2.1.4Heat exchanger
SAVE VTC 500 is equipped with a highly efficient, counter flow plate heat exchanger. Required supply air temperature
is therefore normally maintained without adding additional heat.
The heat exchanger is removable for cleaning and maintenance, see “User Manual” for more information.
6.2.1.5Main circuit board
29
The main circuit board controls all functions and the unit.
It is possible to connect external accessories to a free terminals on the main circuit board.
6.2.1.6Temperature sensors
Three temperature sensors (NTC, 10 kΩ) are included in the unit from factory:
• Supply air sensor (pos. 14 figure 9)
• Outdoor air sensor (pos. 15 figure 9)
• Extract air sensor (pos. 16 figure 9).
The sensors are wired to the main print card. See wiring diagram for more information.
6.2.1.7Humidity sensor
Relative humidity sensor (RHS/EAT) is included in the unit at factory and positioned in the extract air chamber.
The sensor also measures the temperature of extracted air.
The sensor is connected to the main circuit board. See wiring diagram for more information.

Malfunction
Fans do not start
Reduced airflow
Action
1. Check the HMI for alarms.
2. Check that all fuses and fast couplings are connected (main power supply and fast
couplings for supply and extract air fans).
3. Check that the week schedule is ON and running in AUTO mode. The week schedule
might be in OFF mode with the air flow set to OFF (chapter 4.7.3).
1. Check the HMI for alarms. Some alarms can reduce the airflow to LOW if active.
2. The unit could be in defrost mode. This reduces the fan speed and in some cases shuts
down the supply air fan completely during the defrosting cycle. The fans go back to
normal after finished defrosting. There should be a defrosting function icon visible in the
APP or HMI home screen if defrosting is active.
3. If the outdoor air temperature is below 0°C (Outdoor air temperature sensor (OAT)
measures < 0°C) outdoor airflow compensation function can be active (if enabled). Fan
speed (Supply or Supply/Extract air fans) is linearly reduced for decreasing outdoor air
temperature.
4. Check if temporary user mode that reduces airflow is not activated, for example AWAY,
HOLIDAY, etc. Also check digital inputs CENTRAL VACUUM CLEANER and COOKER HOOD.
5. Check setting of airflow in the HMI.
6. Check week schedule settings (chapter 4.7.3).
7. Check filters. Is change of filters required?
8. Check diffusers/louvres. Is cleaning of diffusers/louvres required?
9. Check fans and heat exchange block. Is cleaning required?
10.Check if the buildings air intake and roof unit (exhaust) have been clogged.
11.Check visible duct runs for damage and/or build up of dust/pollution.
12.Check diffuser/louvre openings.
The unit cannot be
controlled (control
functions are stuck)
Low supply air

7.5.2Pressure Guard
A differential pressure switch is used to detect air pressure difference in a duct. The contact in the switch changes (on/
off) when air pressure exceeds the setpoint value.
One of the possibilities is to use this device with a cooker hood which has an internal fan. Turned on cooker hood causes
air pressure to increase in the exhaust air duct. After exceeding a set air pressure value in the pressure switch, wires
from the ventilation unit get connected by contact and signal is sent to the ventilation unit to activate the PressureGuard function.
