Range Product Specification

The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic models have 2 fully adjustable speeds and a purge setting - maximum. On the front of the unit is a digital controller that can be used to pre-set the speeds to any required air-flow within the performance range.

The Sentinel Kinetic models can be mounted vertically in a roof space, and are suitable for wall mounting or within a kitchen cupboard. When mounted in an unheated area ducting should be insulated. Ducting can be attached to the unit horizonally, vertically or both. Minimum internal depth of kitchen cupboard:
V, B and BH models 290mm.
CW models 300mm.
Left or right hand installation. The unit is supplied with duct spigots to outside on the right hand side. These can be reversed onsite by simply removing the control panel,
rotating the unit 180 degrees and re-attaching the control panel.
Horizontal and vertical spigots: The combination of spigot options allows installation in confined locations. If vertical and horizontal connection is required on the same outlet/inlet, additional spigots can be supplied.
Condensate drain can be taken out through the back, bottom or front of the unit. Using the fittings supplied, the final condensate connection is made outside the unit and can
be completed after installation.
