Technical SpecificationProduct DescriptionSentinel Kinetic Sentinel Kinetic F Sentinel Kinetic Plus & Sentinel Kinetic High FlowThe Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic, Sentinel Kinetic F, Sentinel Kinetic Plus & Sentinel Kinetic High FlowMechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR) are heat recovery units designed for the energy efficientventilation of houses and similar dwellings, conforming to the latest requirements of the Building Regulationsdocument F 2010.The units are designed for continuous 24 hour exhaust ventilation of stale moist air from bathrooms, toilets andkitchens. As the stale air is extracted, a heat exchanger within the unit transfers up to 90% of the heat into thesupply air entering the bedrooms and lounge.Fig 1: Sentinel Kinetic Right handedFig 2: Sentinel Kinetic F, Sentinel Kinetic Plus and High FlowRight handedFig 3: Sentinel Kinetic Left handedSentinel Kinetic MVHR User InstructionsFig 4: Sentinel Kinetic F, Sentinel Kinetic Plus and High FlowLeft handed3

Technical SpecificationSentinel Kinetic Range Summer By Pass Models.The Sentinel Kinetic B, BH, FH, Plus B, Plus BH and High Flow are fitted with a Summer By Pass (SBP) and willprovide energy-free cooling when the house temperature and ambient temperature allows.Note that the volume of air provided by this ventilation system is a fraction of that required for space heating orspace cooling and will not in itself be sufficient to cool a room. It will however, provide a contribution and make adifference.There are three operating modes, Normal, Evening Purge and Night-time purge.Normal Mode.Air flow rate is determined by sensors, boost and timing settings, otherwise is normal rate.If the room is warmer than the set (shown as "indoor") temperature (i.e. you need the room to be cooler) and theoutdoor air is cooler than the actual room temperature (i.e. the outdoor air could cool your room) then the SBP willopen and the unit will supply cooler air to your room.Note that the above only applies whilst the outdoor air temperature is above 14 C (adjustable) in order to preventcold draughts.The set ("indoor") temperature should be set 2 or 3 degrees higher than the central heating thermostat and 2 or 3degrees below any air conditioning thermostat if fitted. This will prevent any clash between the separate systems.Evening purge Mode.Intended for use as the outdoor temperature cools in the evening, but reverts to normal control after a set time sothat any increase in noise is avoided overnight.Air flow rate is always at boost.The bypass closes and the purge stops if the temperature conditions described in Standard Mode are no longermet or 5 hours after the bypass opened.Night-time purge Mode.Intended for use as the outdoor temperature cools in the evening and continues through the night when cooling isa higher priority than any increase of noise. Note that the air noise in your system is influenced by the ductingdesign and layout and the size and type of vents used in the rooms. If improvements are required speak to yourinstaller.Air flow rate is boost.The bypass closes and the purge stops if the temperature conditions described in Standard Mode are no longermet.Sentinel Kinetic MVHR User Instructions4
