index 3.2.Appliance operation Zone control The HRC-EcoSmart and HRC-SmartComfort are equipped with two zone valves. With these, the supply air can be divided over two different zones. The sensors, which are placed in the two zones, determine where ventilation is required. By applying zone control, ventilation is minimised in rooms where it is not necessary and maximised where it is.

index 4.5. Electrical connections HRC The HRC is equipped as standard with a mains lead with shock-proof plug. Optionally, you can replace the rim-earth cord by a perilex cord (article number: 22915405). The zone control is provided with its own 5 volt power supply and must be connected to a wall socket by means of the supplied adapter.
Page 21
index Execute HRC with perilex cable The HRC can also be operated with a 3 position switch (CV-3 switch). For this, the HRC must be fitted with a perilex mains lead, which is optionally available. Follow the next steps. Note: Make sure the wall socket is de-energised when changing the wiring.
Page 22
index Step 9 Lead the perilex cable through the cable recess. Place the strain relief in the appropriate recess. Step 10 Replace the top cover and tighten the 2 screws. If the cable from the display has come loose, reinsert it in the connector on the top panel. Step 11 Replace the Perilex cable in the cable clamp on the metal back frame Step 12 Plug the plug into a Perilex socket.
Page 23
index 4.6.Placing the appliance Wall mounting The unit can be hung on the wall bracket provided. The wall must have a minimum mass of 200kg/m2 for optimum soundproofing. Step 1 Fix the wall bracket level to the wall using the bolts (M8x60 wood screw) and plugs supplied.
Page 24
Floor mounting If there is no wall suitable for wall mounting, the HRC can also be placed on a concrete floor using the optional Orcon undercarriage (article number: 22700080) for floor mounting. Step 1 Insert the feet into the recesses on the underside of the unit (Figure A).
Page 25
index 4.7.Connecting zone valves The zone valves must always be placed in two separate supply channels that are connected to two different zones. On the device, the connections for the supply ducts are marked with the following icon: The zone valves can be placed either directly on the unit or externally in the supply duct.
Page 26
index Connect zone valves directly to the unit. Step 1 Place the two connecting flanges for the zone valves (with recess) on the inlet connections of the unit marked with the icon: Make sure that the flanges are tightened to the mounting points of the unit, so that the valves are properly positioned.
Page 28
index Install zone valves in the supply duct. Step 1 Place the standard connection flanges for duct mounting on the inlet connection of the unit marked with the icon: Make sure that the flanges are tightened to the mounting points of the unit, so that the valves are properly positioned.
Page 29
4.8.Installing valves Preferably use Orcon supply and extract valves. The following points must be taken into account when installing the supply and return valves: • Select the location of the supply valves in such a way that contamination and draughts are avoided.
Page 30
Prevent this from drying out in periods when there is little condensation. An Orcon dry trap (article number: 22700065) is preferred, which can be ordered separately. This requires less space under the device, there is no risk of air leaks...
Page 31
index 4.10.Installation accessories In order to determine the zone in which ventilation is required, one or more sensors must be used per zone. The sensor determines the air quality in the room by measuring the content. Depending on the measured content, the zone valves are partially opened or closed.
Page 32
index 5. Subscribe components When the HRC including the zone valves has been installed, the various components can be registered. These are registered in accordance with the following steps. Registering zone valves on HRC Connecting sensors to zone valves 5.1.Registering zone valves on HRC The zone valves must be registered on the device.
Page 33
index 5.2.Connecting sensors to a zone valve After the zone control has been registered on the HRC, at least one sensor per zone must be registered on the zone valve connected to the relevant zone. Please follow the steps below: Step 1Open the cover on the housing of Zone valve 1 so that the circuit board is visible.
Page 34
index Register additional sensors It is possible to connect multiple sensors per zone. For example, when several bedrooms in a zone are equipped with a sensor. For this purpose, the above steps are repeated with each new sensor. If several sensors are placed in one zone, the sensor with the highest value determines the ventilation requirement for the zone concerned.
index 6. Adjustment 6.1.Set flow rate to HRC The air volume per fan can be set using the DIP switches on the HRC circuit board. The upper row of DIP switches (X34) controls the extract air fan and the lower row (X35) controls the supply air fan.
Page 36
index Please note that the return air is not zoned and the 70% rule does not apply here. If the required exhaust air capacity is higher than 70% of the supply air capacity, this capacity must be entered on the unit. Setting device capacity Step 1 Close the windows and doors.

Follow the steps below: Step 1 Press the button of <Zone 1> for 8 seconds, until LED 1 flashes orange. Step 2 After releasing the button, the zone 1 adjustment mode is activated.
Page 42
index 6.4.Adjusting drain valves The exhaust valves are not zoned. After the supply valves in both zones have been calibrated, the extract valves must be calibrated over the entire house. Set the HRC to position 3 so that both zone valves on the supply air open. Measure the total air quantity on the exhaust valves and check whether you are exhausting enough air per room according to the ventilation calculation made.

index Cleaning the humidity sensor The humidity sensor is located in the drainage duct from the house. This channel is marked with: Step 1 Open the top or side connection of the exhaust duct. If both connections have a channel, the sensor can be reached from inside by removing the heat exchanger.
Page 45
index Cleaning the heat exchanger Step 1 Remove the front metal cover and both filters. Step 2 Remove the heat exchanger by sliding it out of the unit using the pull strap. Make sure that there is at least 60 cm space at the front of the device.
Page 46
index Cleaning fans Danger of electrocution! Maintenance work on the fans must be carried out with the HRC switched off. Danger! Make sure that the fans do not rotate when they are removed. The device must be de-energised for at least 20 seconds before the fans are removed.
Page 47
