UK Building Regulations (Part F) Product Description Declaration of Conformance Sentinel Kinetic 200ZMH(F) ............4 The Sentinel Kinetic conforms to the 2010 Building Technical Data Regulations (Approved Document F - Means of Ventilation) Unit Dimensions ................6 for installed performance of a ducted mechanical extract Overview ..................
Summer By Pass. The Sentinel Kinetic is fitted with a Summer By Pass (SBP) and will provide energy-free heating and energy-free cooling when the house temperature and ambient temperature allows. Note that the volume of air provided by this ventilation system is a fraction of that required for space heating or space cooling and will not in itself be sufficient to cool a room.

Maintenance Maintenance Heat recovery units, by their very nature, require regular maintenance. The Sentinel Kinetic 200ZMH(F) have been designed to facilitate access to enable maintenance to be carried out easily. WARNING THE FAN AND ANCILLARY CONTROL EQUIPMENT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY DURING MAINTENANCE.
Caution: there may be water in the Condensate Tray, Condensate pipe and Heat recovery cell, possibly up to 1.5 litres, that may spill during this operation. Stage 1: Isolate the mains power supply and undo the securing screws and remove the Cover. Cover Sentinel Kinetic MVHR Installation & Commissioning...
