MAICOsmart system description
MAICOsmart network with radio electronics
MAICOsmart mit ECA150 ipro fans
- Receivers are ECA 150 ipro fans of the RC, RCH, KRC and KRCH unit models.
- Transmitters are system components such as
- RLS RC room air controls
- DS RC radio switches
- radio window contacts
- ECA 150 ipro RC, RCH, KRC and KRCH
- All the ECA 150 ipro RC models can be combined with each other in the network.
- ECA 150 ipro RCH and KRCH fans also have humidity control (fully automatic humidity control).
- The MAICOsmart system can be operated with a radio switch and/or the RLS RC room air control:
- The two power levels can be selected or the system can be switched off with a radio switch.
- With the RLS RC room air control, the three system levels can be switched on manually (→ table in chapter Operation).
- This function is deactivated ex works in order to guarantee continuous ventilation. If need be, this function can also be activated (→ RLS RC room air control installation instructions).
- The fan can also be switched on/off with radio window contacts (window open/closed).
- During commissioning, the transmitters must be taught-in on the receivers (must be paired with each other).
Further radio components
DS RC radio switch (EnOcean switch)
A: Fan with a radio switch in individual operation.
- Radio switch, (double rocker switch) for setting different fan power levels.
- Press the rocker switch to switch up or down one power level.
The left and right rocker switch have to be taught-in separately: Left rocker switch for on/off, right rocker switch to switch the ventilation level up and down.
Always teach in the radio switch for the fan that is located in the same room as the switch.
B: Fan with several radio switches in individual operation.
Function as described above. Up to 5 radio switches can be taught in per fan.
Radio switches in master/slave network
The ventilation system is operated according to the settings made on the RLS RC. However, every switching action made by radio switch has priority over the RLS RC setting.
- If a radio switch is operated, the assigned fan switches to the manually selected power level.
- After 30 minutes of the switch not being operated (timeout), the unit returns to the setting according to RLS RC. If the setting is changed on the RLS RC during the timeout, the assigned fan only reacts to this command once the timeout has elapsed.
- In the case of RCH/KRCH units, the automatic humidity function operates with priority. Switching through the DS RC or through a radio window contact is possible during humidity operating mode.
Radio window contact (EnOcean switch)
- Radio window contacts can be taught-in for each fan.
- The radio window contact sends the Window open or Window closed status to the assigned fan.
- The assigned fan switches off automatically if the window is opened.
- If you want the fan to continue to operate even when the window is open, it can be switched on with the assigned radio switch.
- The radio switch has priority over the radio window contact and/or the RLS RC.
- The fan switches off again after a timeout of approx. 30 minutes (if the window is still open) or back to the operation mode set on the RLS RC (if the window is closed).
- In the case of RCH/KRCH units, the automatic humidity function operates with priority. Switching through the DS RC or window contact is possible during humidity operation.
RLS RC room air control (EnOcean radio control)
For information about the RLS RC room air control, see separate installation instructions.
- The RLS RC room air control is a radio control for the manual operation of master and slave devices.
- Two programs (P1/P2) with different power level combinations are available for operation.
- The programme suitable for the application (P1 for small/P2 for large residential units,→ tables in chapter Operation) is determined during commissioning.
- The following appears in the RLS RC display:
System level 0/Off without bar
System level 1 with two bars
System level 2 with 4 bars
System level 3 with 6 bars - The time and temperature are also shown on the display.
- The holiday mode is equipped with interval operation. The on-off change takes place every 30 minutes for all fans (humidity protection). Radio commands from further radio network devices are ignored until holiday mode is switched off.
- Service menu for system settings.
