Overall and Connecting Dimensions [mm]
The panel has dimensions of approximately 136mm width, 98mm height, and 23mm depth. Connection terminals are arranged on the rear, with a terminal block for power and RS-485 communication, and a connector for an optional temperature sensor.
Installation, Connection to Power Mains and Set-up
[Power Disconnect Symbol] CUT OFF POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED.
[Cable Symbol] DO NOT LAY THE CABLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CONTROL PANEL CABLE! WHILE ROUTING THE CONTROL PANEL CABLE DO NOT COIL THE EXTRA LENGTH.
All devices must be connected to an RS-485 network in a multidrop bus. A single RS-485 network supports up to 16 simultaneous AHUs and up to 16 control panel connections. Avoid using cables over 200 m long for RS-485 bus connections. Avoid connecting more than 32 devices to a single RS-485 bus.
ATTENTION! COMBINING +24 V POWER LINES FROM SEVERAL AIR HANDLING UNITS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
ATTENTION! CONNECTING MORE THAN 3 CONTROL PANELS TO A SINGLE AHU REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY UNIT.
Control Panel Wall Surface Mounting
- Route the control cable to the mounting location, permanently laid in the wall.
- Use a screwdriver to press the latch on the unit casing end face and separate the casing halves.
- Route the cable through a round hole in the back panel and attach the panel to the mounting surface. Insert the connector into the bracket.
- Connect the power supply cable wires according to the electrical connections diagram.
- Remove the connector with the cable from the bracket and connect it to the female connector on the circuit board.
- Match the prongs of the lower part of the front panel with the slots in the lower part of the back panel at a 45° angle and join until they lock in place.
DIP Switch Configuration
- Rocker 1: Set to OFF for service engineers only (programming).
- Rocker 2: Set to ON if the control panel is the first or last device on an RS-485 bus to activate/deactivate the terminal resistor.
Temperature Sensor: If a room temperature sensor is physically present, select "Sensors in control panel" in the control panel menu.
Network Setup
The RS-485 network operates on a multi-master principle: Slave devices are AHUs; Master devices include control panels, external sensors, and smart home systems.
RS-485 Network Factory Settings:
- Controller address: 1
- Data transfer rate: 115200 baud
- Stop bits: 2
- Parity: none
ATTENTION! RS-485 network parameters for AHU controllers are set via the mobile application.
To set up multiple control panels for a single AHU or a single panel for multiple AHUs, integrate them into an RS-485 network and configure:
- Use the mobile application to assign a unique address (1-16) for each AHU.
- In the control panel's Connection window, assign a unique address to each control panel and select the AHU address to be controlled.
Engineering menu password is 1111 (default). Controller addresses range from 1 to 16. Control panel addresses range from 1 to 16. RS-485 network parameters (Baud rate, Stop bits, Parity) must be identical for the AHU controller and the control panel.
A warning "No communication with the device. Check the connection." will appear if parameters are incorrect or the cable has issues.

Sensor Indicator Colour: Grey (no sensor detected), Blue (below pre-set value), Red (exceeds pre-set value).
[Lock Symbol]: Screen lock button.
Basic Settings
Temperature
Set desired room temperature and select control options: Ventilation (heat recovery only), Heating (automatic warming), Cooling (automatic cooling), Auto (maintains pre-set air temperature).
Air Quality
Set threshold values for humidity, CO2, PM2.5, and VOC sensors. The unit automatically maintains user values by adjusting fan speed.
Timers
When the Main timer is enabled, the unit switches to temporary settings: pre-set speed selection (0=Standby, 1, 2, 3...), timer set-up for hours/minutes, and temperature control level (0=off, +15°C to +30°C).
Boost switch-off delay: 0-60 min for Boost mode deactivation after loss of signal.
Boost switch-on delay: 0-15 min for Boost mode activation after receiving a signal.
Schedule
The weekly schedule allows setting four time periods per day for speed, period, and temperature. Pre-set speed: 0 (Standby), 1, 2, 3. Time periods define start and end times. Control temperature: 0 (off), +15°C to +30°C.
Date and Time
Set current date and time to enable weekly schedule operation.
Filter
Set the filter maintenance timer (70-365 days). A filter replacement alert will appear on the main page and in the Alarms window. Set to 0 days to disable the timer (e.g., if using pressure switches).
