Page 5: Product Description
Sentinel Kinetic, Sentinel Kinetic F, Sentinel Kinetic Plus & Sentinel Kinetic High Flow The Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic, Sentinel Kinetic F, Sentinel Kinetic Plus & Sentinel Kinetic High Flow Mechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR) are heat recovery units designed for the energy efficient ventilation of houses and similar dwellings, conforming to the latest requirements of the Building Regulations document F 2010.
Page 6 A range of sensors can be used to manage system demand and control the ventilation rate. These include an internal humidity sensor, humidity sensors for independent mounting in rooms, wireless receiver and wireless boost switches, sensor, Vent-Wise sensors, manual switches and pull cords.

If the orientation of the condensate exit (and the atmosphere spigots) would be better suited on the left of the unit, the front Control Unit and the rear Cable Inlet Plate can be swapped over to allow the unit to be installed in the opposite orientation. Refer to Vent-Axia website (http://www.vent- axia.com/range/sentinel-kinetic.html) for installation instructions in the Opposite Orientation.
