VentoVind PRO Special user manual Area of use VentoVind™, designed for cold attics, is a system which provides optimised ventilation thereby minimising the system's control unit reading off moisture-related problems such as mould and rot. This is achieved by the climate both outdoors and indoors using sensors, and ensures to only activate the supply air fan when the outdoor air has a drying out effect.

VentoVind PRO Special user manual Installation Perforation and positioning of inlets and outlets of VentoVind PRO Special is unique depending on each project, for more information consult drawings or instructions corresponding to the project. • Motorised damper A spring-return 230V motorised damper is installed at each inlet and outlet. Inlet dampers can alternatively be installed directly towards the fan.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Relative humidity and its impact on materials All air contains a greater or lesser degree of moisture. We can’t see it with the naked eye until it appears in the form of small water drops against a cold metal or glass surface for example. However, before it is visible, moisture is already causing problems by affecting materials, causing corrosion and growth of micro-organisms.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Moisture problems in cold attics Moisture problems in cold attics can be due to one or several causes, usually a combination of several factors that determine how serious the moisture impact on the attic space is. Moisture problems usually occur in connection with additional insulation or during the transition from oil boiler to geothermal or district heating.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual How VentoVind works CONTROL UNIT OUTDOOR SENSOR SUPPLY AIR FAN INDOOR SENSOR DAMPER Image 1 CONTROL UNIT INDOOR Ventovind is a method for adaptive controlled ventilation that guarantees that the ventilation only takes place when it benefits the attic space. The supply air system ensures ventilation at the right times while establishing a positive pressure scenario of the attic that prevents the travel of moisture up from the accommodation.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual ventilated and the building's construction, different types of solutions are required in terms of fans, dampers, and their placement. It is also important how the sensors are positioned so that the system works correctly. Consult an expert to jointly decided what the installation should look like for optimum function.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Vents and Dampers Inlet and outlet vents must have satisfactory capacity in order to achieve the correct air flows and pressure ratio. The recommended size of the inlet vent is a diameter that is at least as large as the supply air fan's duct.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Gable and ridge vents Vents that are not to be used for supply or exhaust air are most suitably sealed using insulating board, bottom strip, polyurethane foam, sealant or similar material. When vents in or adjacent to the suspended ceiling are to be sealed, be careful so that no screws or nails penetrate the suspended ceiling and penetrate roofing such as baseboard, surface board or similar.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual sealed. Check for obvious leaks in the vapour barrier, such as at retrofitted spotlights or other grommets and holes in the vapour barrier. Larger leaks through the vapour barrier and the attic floor joists can be detected by visually inspecting the attic space as the leak can be seen as local mould infestation on the suspended ceiling.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Install the supplied brackets on the control unit. Tap in the pins to secure the brackets in the holes (1 - 2). Then mount the control unit on a flat surface centrally and make sure it is easy to access (3).

VentoVind PRO Special user manual Important! • Do not place the indoor sensor so that it is affected by heat radiation or leaking air from outside or from the residential environment such as the proximity of an attic hatch or other leaks in the attic structure.
See section, Control unit - inputs and outputs for more info. VentoVind PRO Special is delivered prepared to be connected to one or multiple EC low-energy fans, the total power output on all fans must not exceed 2000W. For larger power outputs, the fans must be supplied with a separate power supply.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual from VentoVind™ control unit with separate cable. Also see section, Control Unit - inputs and outputs for more info. If the fan is equipped with an internal potentiometer for speed control, it must be removed. See the fan manufacturer's supplied manual on how to connect speed control. If the fan is equipped with Tacho signal (speed pulse) this can be used in VentoVind for auxiliary control of the fan's operation, and alarms can be used in the event of operational stops of the fan.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Installing fans and motorised dampers For installations in large or complex attics, motorised spring-return 230V dampers must always be used on each supply and exhaust duct. Power is supplied from the VentoVind control unit and an external junction box branches current to the respective damper.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Installing Damper and fan for supply air Install wall plate (A) in the upper opening for supply air. Install nipple (E) and damper (D) towards the fan (F). Install hose (B) between damper (D) and wall plate (A) with hose clamps (C). Install the wire mesh grille (H) on the exhaust side of the fan.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Mounting Damper for exhaust air Install wall plate (A) in the upper opening for exhaust air. Install nipple (E), motorised damper (D) and wire mesh grille (H). In order to ensure the opening and closing function of the motorised damper, test operate the damper once the entire installation is complete, see section Starting and settings.

VentoVind PRO Special user manual Checking and monitoring via ModBus RS485 RS485 (Building Automation) VentoVind™ is prepared with RS485 output for connection to central monitoring and control system (Building Automation). RS485 is a common Mod Bus technology for serial data transfer that is both simple and economical, but also very robust.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Terminating resistance If the VentoVind™ control unit is connected in a loop with several other RS485 units, take into account whether the device is placed last in the loop or not. If the VentoVind™ unit is not placed last in the loop, remove jumpers 1,2,3 for RS485, as these jumpers act as terminating resistors.

Select correct type of fan VentoVind PRO Special has an AC type fan installed upon delivery. Always check which fan type is selected in the menu on the control panel. If the incorrect fan type is selected, the VentoVind system will not work.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Checks at start-up To ensure the system's operation and function it is very important that the following points are checked. Test operation of fan The fan can be controlled manually via the control panel. Upon delivery VentoVind is set with a start- delay of 1 minute so that motorised dampers have time to open.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Maintenance and service VentoVind™ requires minimal maintenance. The attic space should be inspected visually one to two times per year to check the function of the system. Fans should be checked and cleaned as necessary, however, at least 1 time/year. This is to prevent imbalance that can result in unnecessary bearing damage.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Troubleshooting Note that fans and the VentoVind™ system must be disconnected from power prior to servicing. Fault symptom Probable cause Actions The fan does not blow The supply air side of the First try disconnecting the current to the fan for any air or is stationary.
VentoVind PRO Special user manual Actions in the event of power failure After a power failure, VentoVind restarts the system automatically and no settings need to be adjusted. If the control unit is unpowered for longer than 24h the date and time must be reset.
