Overview

Sentinel Multivent continuous mechanical extract ventilation, C-MEV is designed for the simultaneous ventilation of separate areas in the home or as a multi-point extraction system for a wide range of commercial applications such as stalls in lavatories, fitting rooms and kiosk's. The units can be installed at any angle. Where the ambient air has a high humidity content condensate drains are provided.

Sentinel Multivent meets the latest requirements of the Building Regulations Document F 2010 (System 3) for wholehouse system ventilation.

In support of Sentinel Multivent, Vent-Axia offers:
• Practical advice on product selection and installation
• Guidance on solutions to meet legislation requirements
• Project management and site deliveries
• After sales support and maintenance information

The need to save energy costs
Rising fuel prices are placing an increasing burden on organisations as they seek to reduce consumption.
• Energy efficient EC/DC motors - 1/3 less energy lost to heat than a conventional AC motor
• Low Specific Fan Power (SFP) making it one of the most efficient products on the market

The need to improve efficiency
Sentinel Multivent has been designed to meet the exacting demands of developers, installers and users offering advanced control options and easier installation and commissioning.
• Demand Control – enables precise ventilation rate to be set based on property size within 1° of PWM.
• Integral LCD display allows installer to select appropriate low, normal and boost speeds to meet demand
• Manual and automatic control options
• Integral adjustable overrun timer and delay on timer
• Plug-n-Play automatic sensor detection
• Switched live and SELV connections
• Dry Out setting – Option set at installation, Sentinel Multivent will run on boost for 1 week to assist in removing moisture
• Optional Wireless Control – up to 4 controllers on any one system

The need to meet legislation
Through the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 the UK is designed to deliver a 25% reduction in CO2 levels compared to the 2006 Building Regulations.
• Meets Building Regulations Part F (System 3)
• SAP Appendix Q listed up to kitchen + 6 wet rooms
• Meets carbon footprint reduction targets
• Lowest SFP figures of any demand control MEV system

The need for better health
Removal of pollutants, such as moisture, carbon dioxide and external fumes are all important factors in maintaining indoor air quality, helping to create a better living environment.
• The integral humidity sensor increases fan speed in proportion to relative humidity levels, saving energy and reducing noise. The sensor also reacts to small but rapid increases in humidity, even if the normal trigger threshold is not reached. This unique feature ensures adequate ventilation, even for the smallest wet-room.
• Night time relative humidity increment setback feature suppresses nuisance tripping as humidity gradually increase with falling temperature
• Acoustically lined - low noise levels only 18.1 dB(A) @3m
