Other symbols and notices used in this documentation In addition to the safety instructions, the following symbols are used: A TIP symbol indicates practical and useful tips for handling the devices on the inVENTer Connect controller platform. Before each installation step, any additional tools and materials required for the activity are listed.
Non-observance of safety instructions could result in injury and/or property damage. Intended use The inVENTer Connect controller platform may only be used to control the decentralised iV ven- tilation devices with heat recovery (iV-Smart+, iV14-Zero, iV-Light or iV-Compact product series, each equipped with the Connect inner cover) from inVENTer GmbH.
Any kind of use other than the intended use will exclude all liability claims. Unintended use The inVENTer Connect controller platform is intended exclusively for the control of the ventilation devices specified in the section on intended use. Any other use is strictly prohibited.
The inVENTer Connect controller platform is an innovative control system for decentralised iV ventilation devices with heat recovery featuring the use of the Connect inner cover from inVENTer GmbH. Up to 16 devices or sensors can be integrated into the inVENTer Connect controller platform.

The desired devices can then be paired with the controller and thus integrated into the ventilation system ( see separate operating instructions). inVENTer Connect controller platform | Installation instructions...
RS485 data cable) and replaces the standard inner covers of the iV-Smart+, iV14-Zero, iV-Light and iV-Compact ventilation devices to facilitate integration into the inVENTer Connect network. In addition to the radio interface, the inner covers have local control electronics, a power supply unit and an automatic closing flap.
Page 10
If the inner covers are paired with the controller and thus integrated into the ventilation system, they communicate and/or supply the measured values automatically. No further operation on the devices is required; settings are made via the controller. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Installation instructions...
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.
Page 12
If the measured CO content of the indoor air exceeds the limit defined via the app (factory setting 1,500 ppm), all ventilation devices assigned to the ventilation zone are switched to ventilation operating mode, level 3. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Installation instructions...

If the connection between the switching contact and the controller is interrupted, the system reacts in the same way as when the safety-relevant limit of the air pressure is exceeded. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Installation 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.
The SK19-Connect switching contact has a 230 V connection, but also only communicates with the controller by radio. The interface for connecting an RS485 data cable is used here to connect the safety devices, e.g. a 4 Pa pressure sensor. inVENTer Connect controller platform | Installation instructions...
