Specifically, the following must be used: • The Easy Connect e16 controller to control the devices included in the system. • The Connect inner cover controlled by the controller to control the inVENTer ventilation units with heat recovery. • The sensor system is paired to the controller (FTS19-Connect Indoor/Outdoor humidity/temper-...

Before the closing flap is (re-)fitted, the locking arm must be swivelled to the right. This is done exclusively using the Easy Connect e16 controller or the "inVENTer Mobile" app. To do this, switch all devices to pause ( 3.6: Boost/Pause or when operating via app 4.2 | 4.8: Set ventilation mode and level).
In order to be able to use the full range of functions of all devices in the system in the best possi- ble way, we recommend operating and configuring the controller via the "inVENTer Mobile" app. The capacitive sensor keys available on the programming unit can be used to make quick settings for the ventilation system.

If a device is paired with the controller but is in error mode, the controller updates the device status to mark that device as offline or not present. The user is notified via the display screen or app and can correct the error. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Operating instructions...
If an inner cover is paired to the controller, it controls the associated ventilation unit (one ventila- tion unit per inner cover) using the information received from the controller. It controls 4 ventilation modes with different speed levels in which the respective inVENTer ventilation unit then operates: • Heat recovery In heat recovery mode, each ventilation unit changes direction (supply air / extract air) every 70 seconds.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Sensor technology Different sensors are available in the inVENTer Connect controller platform. These are required to monitor the relevant parameters in the various ventilation zones and to ensure automated ventilation control according to the set profiles. Demand-controlled ventilation is enabled in the ventilation zone assigned to the sensor on the basis of the respective reference variable.

The Outdoor humidity/temperature sensor measures the relative air humidity in the range 20 – 90% and the temperature in the range -20 – 60 °C. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Operating instructions...
SYSTEM OVERVIEW "inVENTer Mobile" app The "inVENTer Mobile" app (in the following text "app") is the free app from inVENTer for Android and iOS operating systems for controlling and programming the system. For a more in-depth setup and full functionality access, a mobile device with the "inVENTer Mobile" app installed is required.

Up to 16 system components (ventilation devices [Connect inner covers], sensors, switching contact) can be paired with the Easy Connect e16 controller. The controller system can then be set up via the "inVENTer Mobile" app or on the controller, e.g. setting ventilation profiles. We recommend setting it up via the app.
To pair system components with the Easy Connect e16 controller and thus integrate them into the inVENTer Connect controller platform, component pairing must first be activated on the controller. Then all system components to be integrated must be activated so that they can be recognised and paired by the controller.
