Function

Features

• Simultaneous aeration and deaeration

• Filters pollen and dust

• Filtering of exhaust air

• Heat recovery

• Sound absorption of external noise

• Low internal noise

Ventilation

In ventilation mode, the AEROLIFE aerates and deaerates

simultaneously. To achieve this, the unit has two internal

separate air routes and two separate blower units.

Room air is drawn into the two top air inlets (a), ﬁltered,

guided through the heat exchanger and discharged to the

outside.

Fresh air is drawn from outside, ﬁltered, guided through the

heat exchanger and conveyed into the room through the two

bottom air outlets (b).

Ventilation elements

The heat exchanger absorbs part of the heat in the

discharged room air and heats up the fresh air supplied. You

can fold out the heat exchanger to exchange the ﬁlter unit in

the heat exchanger.

The ﬁlter unit consists of a cassette ﬁlter (ﬁlter grade F7)

which ﬁlters over 97% of the pollen from the fresh air and a

ﬂeece ﬁlter which ﬁlters the room air. The two ﬁlters reduce

the contamination of the heat exchanger and the blower

units. Required ﬁlter exchange is indicated by the symbol

„“ in the display of the AEROLIFE.

The performance of the supply air and the exhaust air

blower unit and consequently the air ﬂow is variable in

three levels.

If the AEROLIFE is switched oﬀ, the two blower units are out

of operation.

Commissioning

Electrically operated unit.

Risk of fatal injury from electric shock or ﬁre.

› The AEROLIFE is connected directly to the 230-V AC mains power supply. However, the voltage is transformed to 12 V

low voltage in the unit. In case of overload, a safety device (thermal overload protection) in the transformer disconnects

the unit from 230 V AC mains power supply and automatically switches on again when the overload has been rectiﬁed.

› A safety switch is also integrated for maintenance purposes. If the front panel is removed, the safety switch cuts oﬀ the

supply voltage.

To prevent personal injury or damage to property, always comply with the following instructions:

› The power supply terminals supply 230 V AC even when the front panel has been removed.

› Do not remove the cover of the connecting clamps behind the top housing unit.

Following the successful installation and electrical connection of the AEROLIFE, the unit can be commissioned.

• The Euro plug of the mains cable must be properly connected to the 230 V AC mains power supply via a power socket. If

the unit has been permanently connected to the 230 V AC mains power supply, the safety device belonging to this

electrical circuit must be switched on.

• Remove any transport and mounting aids prior to the commissioning.

Operation

› Open the closing ﬂaps (a), before the AEROLIFE is

switched on.

› Shut the closing ﬂaps (b), before the AEROLIFE is

switched oﬀ for a longer period.

› Switch the unit on/oﬀ or set the required air ﬂow by brieﬂy pressing the button.
