Product Description

Sentinel Kinetic MVHR with Cooker Hood

The Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit is a heat recovery unit

with a Cooker Hood designed for the energy efficient ventilation of houses and similar dwellings, conforming to

the latest requirements of the Building Regulations document F 2010.

In case of a fire or severe overheating on the hob, the unit is fitted with an intumescent fire damper to close the

duct as required by BRE Digest 398 and a thermal fuse to switch off the electrical power.

The unit is designed to be mounted in the kitchen above a cooker hob in a standard cupboard space for

continuous 24-hour exhaust ventilation of stale moist air from bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. The unit should

be switched to boost mode by extending the cooker hood during cooking, or by use of any of the standard

switches or sensors. As the stale air is extracted, a heat exchanger within the unit retains up to 90% of the heat

and transfers it to the supply air entering the bedrooms and lounge.

Models

441483, 441484, 441485, 441486 - Sentinel Kinetic with Cooker Hood and with summer bypass. An

internal damper is activated when the outside temperature is equal to, or greater than, the pre-set ‘Comfort

Temperature’ (adjustable between 16 and 30°C). The damper opens allowing cooler fresh air to bypass

the Heat Recovery Cell and reduce the internal temperature to the pre-set ‘Comfort Temperature’. When

the inside air temperature reaches the pre set ‘Comfort Temperature’ the bypass damper closes. (See

page 10 within the Operation & Monitoring leaflet for further information). Note that when the cooker hood

is extended the heat recovery cell bypass opens ensuring that grease and other contaminants from

cooking do not reduce its efficiency during normal use.

Accessories

441838 - Plug-in integral humidity sensor.

441865 - Wireless enable kit (consists of wireless receiver and one wireless switch).

437827 - Additional wireless switch (up to four may be connected).

441780 - Vent-wise accessory pack.

443131 – Wired remote control.

A range of sensors can be used to manage system demand and control the ventilation rate. These include an

internal humidity sensor, humidity sensors for independent mounting in rooms, wireless receiver and wireless

boost switches, CO2sensor, manual switches and pull cords. For these alternative control options, see

www.vent-axia.com

User Information

Operation of Cooker Hood

The unit is operated in boost mode when the telescopic hood is pulled out. Close it to return the unit to its

Normal Flow Rate.

Important Note:

Do not hold on to or place any object on telescopic hood whilst is open, since this can cause damage to its

functioning component parts

Operation of Cooker Hood Light

Access can be gained to the light switch when the telescopic hood is opened. The light may be left on with the

Installation

Overview

The following instructions are intended to help prevent potential hazards and should be carried out only by a

qualified electrician and installer.

Before Installing the Unit

Inspect the Unit

When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the delivery note. Inspect the unit for

damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Customer Services. The Sentinel Kinetic with cooker hood is made up of

two separate boxes. Each box containing the Sentinel Kinetic HR with metal duct assembly should come with

an accessory pack containing wall brackets, condensate drain link pipes, worm-drive clips, fixings and product

documentation. Each box containing the cooker hood should contain an accessory pack consisting of black

protective box for cooker hood socket and plug connection, screws, cable receptors and product documentation.

A template to aid marking out the wall for drilling is printed on the carton.

Lift and Move the Unit Safely

The weight of this unit is 28 kg. Always use appropriate lifting techniques and appliances when moving heavy

equipment.

Check Site Requirements and Safety Notices

Check that the physical and environmental conditions for the site meet, or exceed, the requirements detailed in

the Technical Specification on page 6.

Read and observe the safety notices listed in IMPORTANT on page 2.

Unit Installation

READ THE SENTINEL KINETIC INSTALLATION & COMMISSIOING DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING

THIS UNIT. In particular, ensure that any external switches, sensors and electrical connections are made prior

to the unit being mounted on the wall.

The Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood is only suitable for installation above a domestic cooker or cooker hob. The

unit with cooker hood must be sited a minimum of 650mm above an electric hob and 750mm above a

gas hob.

It will fit in a 600 mm (external) x 300 mm deep (internal) kitchen wall cupboard space above the hob.

The wall should have sufficient strength to support the unit.

Take into consideration the position of the electrical services and the condensate drain.

Ensure there is adequate access for installation, operation and maintenance.

It is recommended that a local mains and sensor terminal connection box is installed within 1m of the unit to

facilitate future maintenance, rather than wiring these directly to the unit.

The unit MUST always be mounted vertically with ducting exiting vertically. Do not use this unit as a support for

any other equipment.

Select Unit Orientation

The unit may be purchased as left or right hand, where left hand refers to the connections to atmosphere being

on the left side of the unit.
