Connect the Power Supply
WARNINGS
1. MAINS SUPPLY VOLTAGES (220-240 V AC) ARE PRESENT IN THIS EQUIPMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY BY ELECTRIC SHOCK. ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR INSTALLER
SHOULD CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THIS UNIT.
2. THIS UNIT MUST BE CORRECTLY EARTHED.
This unit is designed for operation from a single-phase alternating current source (220-240 V AC). A 1.5 m cable
is connected internally to the unit for connection to an isolator switch.
To connect the power supply:
Ensure the local AC power supply is switched off.
One end of the power cable supplied is already connected to the unit and routed through the Cable Inlet
Plate via a suitable gland to ensure the IP rating of the unit is not affected.
Connect the other end of the cable to the switched fused spur.
Use cable clamps and clips to secure the cable, as appropriate.
A Switched Live (LS) may be used to boost the airflow when a light is turned on, for instance in a bathroom or
kitchen. If the LS core of the mains cable is not used it should be terminated in an appropriate manner.
NOTES
Power supplied to the unit via a 3 pole isolating switch, such as Vent-Axia Part Number 563518, must be supplied
via the same circuit as the LS connection. Alternatively an isolator relay controller, part number 442030, may be
used. The live supply to the unit should be fused at 3A.
Example wiring diagrams are available via Vent-Axia Technical support, e.g. Drawing Number 448144.
Sentinel Kinetic Range Summer By Pass Models.
The Sentinel Kinetic B, BH, Plus B, Plus BS and S BH are fitted with a Summer By Pass (SBP) and will provide
energy-free cooling when the house temperature and ambient temperature allows.
Note that the volume of air provided by this ventilation system is a fraction of that required for space heating or
space cooling and will not in itself be sufficient to cool a room. It will however, provide a contribution and make a
difference.
There are three operating modes, Normal, Evening Purge and Night-time purge.
Normal Mode.
Air flow rate is determined by sensors, boost and timing settings, otherwise is normal rate.
If the room is warmer than the set (shown as "indoor") temperature (i.e. you need the room to be cooler) and the
outdoor air is cooler than the actual room temperature (i.e. the outdoor air could cool your room) then the SBP will
open and the unit will supply cooler air to your room.
Note that the above only applies whilst the outdoor air temperature is above 14 C (adjustable) in order to prevent
cold draughts.
The set ("indoor") temperature should be set 2 or 3 degrees higher than the central heating thermostat and 2 or 3
degrees below any air conditioning thermostat if fitted. This will prevent any clash between the separate systems.
Evening purge Mode.
Intended for use as the outdoor temperature cools in the evening, but reverts to normal control after a set time so
that any increase in noise is avoided overnight.
Air flow rate is always at boost.
The bypass closes and the purge stops if the temperature conditions described in Standard Mode are no longer
met or 5 hours after the bypass opened.
Night-time purge Mode.
Intended for use as the outdoor temperature cools in the evening and continues through the night when cooling is
a higher priority than any increase of noise. Note that the air noise in your system is influenced by the ducting
design and layout and the size and type of vents used in the rooms. If improvements are required speak to your
installer.
Air flow rate is boost.
The bypass closes and the purge stops if the temperature conditions described in Standard Mode are no longer

1. If the LS input is deactivated within 3 minutes no
boost will occur
2. If the LS input is deactivated between 3-20 minutes,
an LS boost will be triggered with duration of [Boost
Overrun] + [Time LS was active] minutes.
3. If the LS input is active for over [Boost Delay]
minutes, an LS boost will activate; when LS is
eventually deactivated, the boost will overrun for [Boost
Overrun] + [Boost Delay] minutes.

An additional option is Anti Frost with Heater Mode
which should be selected if a pre heater is fitted. See
the next screen, below. (Currently unavailable option).
Airflow Mode - When the supply air temperature is
between 0° and -20°C, antifrost will automatically
activate. This will reduce the supply airflow rate and
increase the extract airflow rate to prevent frost forming
on the heat exchanger. During antifrost operation the
supply motor can stop for 15 minutes per hour and run
for 45, depending on the temperature below 0°C. If the
supply air temperature is -20°C or below the supply fan
switches off and the extract fan continues to run at
reduced rate to prevent frost forming on the heat
exchanger.
Bypass Mode - While the supply air temperature is
below 0°C, the antifrost mode will automatically
activate. This mode will open the bypass to prevent
frost forming on the heat exchanger.

Fault LED if connected.
If no indications are displayed, then troubleshoot problem according to the fault symptom as described in the
following tables.
Service/Fault Code Screens
For assistance contact the service provider and quote the fault code number.
Note that the fault code is not displayed until the fault has been present for 3 minutes.
The following fault codes numbers may be displayed.
Code numbers are added together if more than one fault is detected.
For example: Code 03 indicates that both supply and extract fans are not running.
The Room Too Cold screen displays the status of the
fan. If the heating system in the building fails or is
switched off and the internal temperature drops below
5°C, the unit will stop running so as to not bring cold air
into an already cold house. The unit will start up every
hour and will run for a short time to measure the
temperature of the property. When the temperature
rises, e.g. the heating system is switched back on, the
unit will restart and continue normal operation.
Bottom line of display may be (Fan Off, Fan Restarting).

Appendix One: Control Mode 02 Description
Overview
The functional differences described in this Appendix are available when Control Mode 02 is selected from the
start-up screens. Control Mode 02 assigns alternative functions to certain wiring Terminal Connections and
allows additional airflow settings to be accessed via the button on the front of the Kinetic unit or remote
control.
N.B.1. If control mode 02 is selected then SW5 must have a link connecting the +
and – terminals or a normally closed device such as a fire system.
N.B.2. Accessories will not function if Control Mode 2 is selected.
Terminal Connections and Functions
The following switching Functions are available with Control Mode 02:
The following switching Functions are available via the button with Control Mode 02:
Press 10 seconds after last press to cancel and return to normal operation.
If the wireless boost option is fitted, this can be triggered from the wireless transmitter/boost switch.
If the installation has switch sensors, is wired to the lighting, or if the internal time switch is set for periodic operation,
then operation will change from normal to boost automatically. Pressing the
device has activated boost.
s4 = Switch SW4
v1 = S/W1
v2 = S/W2
v3 = S/W3
ls = Switched live (LS)
c1-3 = Internal Time switch
If running on boost due to pressing the button, another device may ‘take over’ the boost. Flow will return to normal
when that device switches off. If a number of different devices are calling for boost flow, the unit will run at boost until the
last one has reverted to normal.
1. Remove a blind grommet from the Cable Inlet plate
and insert the 3 core cable from Cooker hood.
2. Connect the 3 wires to the terminal block
marked J12
Brown = L
Grey = N
Black = LS
Appendix Two: Options and Accessories
CO2 Sensor
An optional wall-mounted CO2 Sensor (433257) may be used to control airflow. The CO2 sensor measures the
CO2 level in ppm (parts per million) and the unit adjusts the fan speed accordingly. When the CO2 level is below
the lower threshold (adjustable), the fan will run at Normal speed. When the CO2 level is above the upper
threshold (also adjustable), the fan will run at Boost speed. If the CO2 level is between the lower and upper
thresholds, the fan will run at a speed between Normal and Boost proportional to the difference between the
CO2 level and the thresholds.
Normal / Boost Switch
An optional Normal/Boost Switch (455213) may be used to control airflow. Connecting a switch will enable a
manual control to be used in conjunction with other boost controls.
Humidistats
An internal Relative Humidity Sensor PCB (495976) may be used to control airflow. The unit adjusts the fan
speed proportionally depending on the temperature and relative humidity levels in the extracted air whilst
avoiding nuisance tripping at night time when temperatures drop and relative humidity naturally rises. The unit
does not just look for relative humidity levels above a set point, which can be unreliable in products that extract
from multiple rooms, but it also looks for rapid increase in relative humidity typically generated by such activities
as showering or cooking.
Connecting a System Cooker Hood
A system cooker hood that has a Switched Live output to trigger the unit from normal to cooker hood boost can
be connected as follows. The cooker hood must be double insulated.
Connecting an Opto-coupler (447340)
The LED terminals are intended to drive a remote LED to indicate that a fault has occurred. They provide a
LED driving signal output between the + and – terminals that enables remote indication of a unit fault. See the
Control Panel for fault code (Refer to installation and commissioning guide listed above). This signal could also
be used by a BMS system so that it is informed that a fault has occurred. If a volt-free contact is required then
use this opto-coupler to provide electrical separation.
Connect the flying leads of the opto-coupler pcb into the LED terminals, + to + and - to -
Connect the pair of leads from the BMS to the terminal block of the opto-coupler pcb.

Wired Remote Control (443283)
1. The Wired Remote Control uses 15 metre long cable and has the same functionality as the control mounted
on the unit, it can be permanently mounted in a living space for the end user or used for commissioning the
unit.
2. To fit the Wired Remote Control remove the Front, Rear and Electrical covers, using the cable assembly
supplied insert the plug into the socket marked BMS and feed the remaining cable through cable inlet
plate, refit all covers.
3. Connect the cable assembly (4 wires numbered 1 to 4) to the Remote Control terminal block and mount onto
a single gang recessed wall box with the 2 screws provided. The Wired Remote Control will automatically be
detected.
The isolating relay controller allows several LS signals to be combined from independent circuits. For instance,
from lighting circuits on different floor levels.

Remote LED Indicator (448347)
The LED terminals are intended to drive a remote LED to indicate that there is a message in the control display.
They provide a LED driving signal output between the + and – terminals that enables remote indication of filter
check or unit fault. See the Control Panel for message (See page 45 for fault codes).
Connect the 2 core flying lead from the Remote LED indicator terminal block. Terminal 1 on the Remote LED is +
