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.
Sentinel Kinetic MVHR Installation & Commissioning 21
Page 22
Installation
Connecting a Boost (Light) Switch
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
met.

The Proportional 1 screen enables the conditions of the proportional sensors to be set.
The unit can receive a 0-10 V proportional signal from either a humidity, CO2 or temperature external sensor, when connected to terminals P1.
By default, the Proportion 1 input is set for a humidity sensor operation.
When you have selected the sensor type, screens for the appropriate boost and normal limits are displayed.
Press and use the and buttons to change the selection (Humidity-default, CO2, Temperature, Pure 0-10V).
When the input signal is below the ‘Normal Limit’, the unit runs at low / normal airflow. When the signal is above the ‘Boost Limit’, the unit runs at boost airflow. Between these limits the unit runs at a proportional airflow.

The Antifrost screen is only displayed if a summer bypass is fitted. In installations where a negative pressure is not permitted such as where an open flue fireplace or appliance is fitted, set this to bypass mode.
Standard available options are Airflow Mode (default) and Bypass Mode.
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.
Antifrost Airflow Mode
If an electrical pre heater is being used in conjunction with the anti-frost system to prevent freezing of the heat recovery cell then this is set to On. The pre heater control must be wired up according to its instructions. See Appendix 2, options and Accessories, 407198, Anti-Frost Heater Controller.
Otherwise leave set to Off. Note that if any sensor or other input requires the
supply fan to stop, then the heater is switched off first and the supply fan runs on for 60 seconds before it is switched off in order to ensure that the heater is cooled.
Available options: Off (default) and On.

Troubleshooting
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).
Room Too Cold Fan Off
Room Too Cold Screen
Note: Access to the commissioning screens is prevented if the display shows Antifrost Active, Room
Too Cold or a Fault Code. In this event, switch the unit off and on again and enter the commissioning
screens within one minute. If you are within the commissioning screens the Antifrost and Room Too Cold Failures modes will not operate allowing the flow rates to be adjusted even in a property which is below 5C.

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

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.

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
Sentinel Kinetic MVHR Installation & Commissioning 46
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.

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 + and terminal 2 is -
Connect the other end of the lead to the LED + &- terminals on the Kinetic unit PCB. Please ensure that the + goes to + and the – goes to -.
