RL-50
The RL-50 is a decentralized home venting system with heat recovery. Its an older version of the product found here: product website
I'm starting this reverse engineering page because it is broken now the second time which what seems to be the same problem. The air vent has blinds which open and close automatically when the system turns on or off. Currently its in a state where the blinds are always open, even when the system is turned off. See picture 1. I want to reverse engineer the PCBs and get a complete overview of the system. Maybe this way someone can have a look at the schematics and help me figure out why it keeps breaking.
