SAFETY

Safe and appropriate handling requires knowledge of the basic safety regulations, and of the intended use of the ventilation system. Read this manual before operating the ventilation unit. Please keep the manual for later reference. If you lose the manual, it can be downloaded from our website.

This user manual contains all the information necessary for safe operation of the system. All persons who operate and maintain the ventilation system must follow the instructions provided in this manual. Furthermore, all local accident prevention regulations must be observed.

Installation

Installation and setup should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Electrical installations and connections must be carried out only by an electrician and in compliance with local regulations.

WARRANTY

The guarantee and liability exclude damage resulting from:

• Inappropriate use of the ventilation system or the control unit
• Incorrect or inappropriate installation, setup or use
• Neglect of instructions concerning transportation, installation, use, or maintenance
• Structural or electronic modifications or changes made to the software

INTENDED USE

All Val lox ventilation units have been designed to provide appropriate and continuous ventilation so as to present no threat to health and to maintain structures in good condition.

IMPORTANT

In order to ensure that the indoor air presents no harm to health and remains optimal also for the structures of the building, ventilation must be kept on without disruptions. It is recommended that ventilation be left turned on during long holidays also. This keeps the indoor air fresh and prevents humidity from condensing in the ventilation ducts and structures. It also reduces the risk of moisture damage.

Basic fan settings

IMPORTANT
Adjust the air flows according to the values specified in the ventilation plan. It is recommended that the air flows be adjusted without having to choke the air flows at the valves. This is the most energy-efficient set up.

First, set both values as close to the ideal value as possible by looking at the supply and extract air fan curves. If the ratio between the air flows is very high at first, the ventilation unit may have to carry out extra defrosting cycles in sub-zero temperatures, thus making adjustment of the air flows more complicated. Check the air flows by measuring them at the valves, and fine-tune the percentage values as required.

NOTE If the outside air is extremely cold (below -10°C on an aluminum cell or below -3°C on a plastic cell), the ventilation unit may have to defrost the heat recovery cell. The air flows cannot be adjusted during defrosting.

Adjusting the supply and extract air flows

1. Use the Plus and Minus buttons to set the supply air fan ratio as a percentage of the maximum output ratio. The fan speed (rpm) will change accordingly.
2. Measure and adjust the supply air flows from the valves.
3. Press the OK button.
4. Use the Plus and Minus buttons to set the extract air  fan ratio as a percentage of the maximum output ratio.The fan speed (rpm) will change accordingly. Measure and adjust the extract air flows from the valves.
5. Select OK. Supply and extract air flow settings are now complete.
6. Record the set percentages in the measurement log. Do not change the output ratio between the supply and extract air fans once the settings are complete. The same ratio is also used in the Away and Boost modes.

NOTE If the use of the ventilation unit was started before airflow adjustment, the airflow must be measured through the Setup menu (see “Save and restore settings”). This ensures that the unit settings are optimal for the adjustment of the airflows.

IMPORTANT
The supply and extract air settings have been completed by a specialist during setup of the ventilation unit.
These settings should be changed only when the ventilation unit is reconfigured, and not at any other time. Changing the ventilation settings so that overpressure is created can result in damage to the structures of the building.

VENTILATION MODES

Four ventilation unit modes

At   home
Use this mode when the dwelling or the premises are occupied.

Away
Use this mode when the dwelling or premises are unoccupied, e.g. during a trip or other long absence.

Fireplace mode
Use this mode when, for example, you are making a fire in the fireplace. The mode is primarily used to create a momentary overpressure in the dwelling.

Boost
Use this mode to increase the ventilation rate, e.g. when there are more people than usual in the dwelling or elsewhere on the premises

TIP
Using the At home, Away, and Boost modes according to need saves energy

IMPORTANT
Prolonged overpressure can result in damage to the structures of the building.
