30, 55, 80 and 100 refer to the m³/h of air treated by the unit.
With reference to residential units, we recommend the sizes 30, 55 and 80. In the specific case of bedrooms, we suggest installing size 30. For the other rooms, where possible, it is preferable to install two smaller units in order to allow correct washing of the room. The use of size 100 is only recommended in case of installation in commercial/industrial environments.
After 1500 hours of operation, the Pico unit will have a flashing red light indicating that the filters need to be inspected/cleaned. After having therefore checked the status of the filters and possibly having carried out the necessary maintenance, simply press the ON button of the unit for 5 seconds in order to reset the hour counter.
No, the Pico unit cannot be considered a dehumidifier. The AUTO1 and AUTO2 functions only allow the unit to operate automatically when the pre-set humidity threshold is exceeded (40%, 50% or 60%).
Yes, but only through an offline web app (not available on the App Store / Play Store), which allows management of the unit on site and not remotely. To connect your machine, simply activate the Wi-Fi from your smartphone, connect to the network emitted by the Pico and type the IP address 192.168.1.1 into your search engine. At the end of the search, the main control screen will be displayed.
The minimum thickness of the masonry must be 31 cm and maximum thickness 150 cm. A 50 cm pipe is supplied as standard, while the 150 cm pipe, in the event that the external wall exceeds 50 cm, is an accessory available in the catalogue. Finally, the distance between the Pico unit and any obstacle must be 50cm from the centre of the obstacle.
It is not possible to install Pico on the ceiling in a vertical position: the unit can only be installed in a horizontal position, no bends of any kind can be made and the unit cannot be ducted.
When Pico is set to supply mode, it draws in air from outside and introduces it into the room where it is installed. Therefore, suctioning air from "window wells" or niches is not recommended as it would introduce static and poor quality air into the room; furthermore, the unit would need much more frequent filter maintenance.
Of course, up to 4 Pico units can be connected in cascade with a maximum distance between each of them of 5 m. If this type of connection is adopted, if the first unit (Master) is set for example in supply mode, the second (Slave) will automatically operate in extraction mode.
The essential difference consists of the fact that the Pico Clean only performs the function of aspirator/extractor, as it is not equipped with the exchange pack useful for heat recovery.
The AIR PUR EVO recovery unit has a flow regulator (supplied) and a manually operated mechanical by-pass. Instead, the AIR PUR EVO PLUS recovery unit is supplied with a digital control panel and the by-pass is automatically activated.
The Free Cooling mode allows the by-pass to exclude the passage of air in the exchange pack, when the external air conditions are better than the internal ones. Therefore, if in summer the external temperature is cooler than the internal one, the machine will automatically enter this operating mode, thus allowing the reduction of energy consumption related to ventilation.
The cross-flow (static) heat recovery focuses its efficiency on heat exchange through the presence of a heat exchanger, which prevents the air flows from coming into contact with each other, guaranteeing the expulsion of stale air and the introduction of clean air. Instead, the enthalpy recovery unit makes it possible to recover both sensible energy and latent energy from the air without transferring vapours and odours; in particular the temperature is transferred from the flow with the highest value to the one with the lowest value, and similarly the humidity is transferred in the form of water vapour from the flow with the highest vapour pressure to the one with the lowest pressure. This phenomenon serves to prevent the incoming air from drying out too much, maintaining an improved balance of the humidity inside the house.
The Pico cannot be considered a bathroom extractor as for this environment it is necessary to extract moisture and any odours in a short space of time. Furthermore, having a ceramic material exchange pack, the humidity could not guarantee the correct heat recovery. With reference to bathrooms, Tecnosystemi offers a wide range of extractors (see Apply.co catalogue).
