4. Setup & Installation

This section outlines the general steps for installing the Aldes EHL air inlet. Specific installation details may vary based on the type of wall or window and local building codes. Consult a professional if unsure.

Choose Location: Select an appropriate location for the air inlet, typically on an exterior wall or window frame, ensuring it is not obstructed.
Prepare Opening: Create an opening in the wall or window frame according to the dimensions specified in the product's technical data sheet (not provided in this manual, refer to manufacturer's website).
Install Outer Grille (if applicable): Secure the exterior grille to the outside of the opening.
Insert Air Inlet Unit: Carefully insert the Aldes EHL air inlet unit into the prepared opening from the interior side.
Secure Unit: Use the provided mounting screws to firmly secure the air inlet unit to the wall or window frame. Ensure it is level and sealed properly to prevent air leaks.
Apply Seals: Apply any necessary seals or gaskets to ensure airtightness and acoustic performance.
Test Functionality: After installation, verify that the air inlet's hygro-adjustable mechanism moves freely and that airflow is established.

Note: For detailed diagrams and specific mounting instructions, please refer to the technical documentation provided by ALDES or consult their official website.

5. Operating Instructions

The Aldes EHL air inlet is a hygro-adjustable device, meaning its airflow capacity automatically adapts based on the humidity level in the room. This ensures optimal ventilation without manual intervention.

Automatic Adjustment: The internal sensor detects changes in ambient humidity. As humidity increases (e.g., during showering or cooking), the air inlet opens further to allow more fresh air in. As humidity decreases, it reduces the airflow.
Acoustic Performance: The "39dB" rating indicates its acoustic attenuation capabilities, designed to reduce external noise transmission while maintaining ventilation.
No User Controls: This unit operates automatically and does not typically feature manual controls for airflow adjustment. Its design is intended for passive, demand-controlled ventilation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the efficient and long-lasting operation of your Aldes EHL air inlet.

Cleaning Frequency: It is recommended to clean the air inlet at least once a year, or more frequently in dusty environments.
Cleaning Procedure:
1. Gently remove the front cover of the air inlet.
2. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the grille and internal components.
3. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4. Ensure the humidity sensor (if visible) is free from dust and obstructions.
5. Reattach the front cover securely.
Do Not Obstruct: Ensure that the air inlet is never blocked by furniture, curtains, or other objects, as this will impair its performance.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of damage or wear.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Aldes EHL air inlet, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Insufficient Airflow	Air inlet or outer grille is obstructed. Dust accumulation on internal components. Humidity sensor is blocked or faulty. Incorrect installation or sealing.	Check for and remove any obstructions. Clean the air inlet as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure the humidity sensor is clear. If still faulty, contact support. Verify proper installation and sealing.
Excessive Noise	Loose components or improper sealing. External noise sources. Air inlet operating at maximum flow due to high humidity.	Check mounting screws and seals. Identify and address external noise sources. This is normal operation. Ensure the unit is clean.
Unit Not Adjusting	Humidity sensor is dirty or damaged. Mechanical obstruction of the adjustment mechanism.	Clean the humidity sensor. If still unresponsive, the sensor may be faulty. Inspect for any physical obstructions preventing movement.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Aldes customer support or a qualified technician.
