  • Page 25 Aura 14 Installer settings Alarm thermal control Setting of the sensor thermal control alarm:  No alarm  With outside temp: the controller calculates the maximum difference alarm, taking a high outside temperature into account.  Without outside temp: the controller calculates the maximum difference alarm, not taking a high outside temperature into account.
  • Page 26 Pre-control 1  Pre-control 2  Pre-control 1 & 2 An Aura 14 cannot control a boiler, but transmits the heat demand via Fnet communication to a controller that can. With types Pre-control Pre-control Pre-control 1 & 2 the Aura 14 determines the heat demand as the difference between the measured temperature and the control value.
  • Page 27 None: No influence on central air control.  inlet: The Aura 14 transmits the control value of the total ventilation to the controller responsible for controlling central ventilation based on the average (calculated) ventilation of all assigned sections. This control is particularly suitable for a central air inlet.
  • Page 28 Calibration value 1% / If triac control is used for ventilation control, set the triac control range here. Fancom 99% ventilation advises always carrying out 1% and 99% calibration, in connection with control without DSR feedback or an automatic switch from control with DSR feedback to control without DSR feedback (if DSR feedback fails).
