VALLOX 132 E/VKL2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING VALLOX 132 E AND VALLOX 132 E VKLFor indoor air to stay healthy and beneficial also for the structures of the dwelling, ventilationhas to be in operation continuously. It is not advisable to stop ventilation even for longerholidays because it makes indoor air stuffy. Also, during the heating season indoor airhumidity may condense in the ducts and structures and therefore cause humidity damage.REMEMBER!Never turn VALLOX 132 E off,or else you’ll risk catching a cough!2.2. Selection of fan speedFan speed is selected by using a separate speed selector or a cooker hood. (YK control centrecan be used for the remote monitoring of public facilities.)2.2.1. Speed selectorThe speed selector can be used to select speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4:1. Use during absence. When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can temporarily bediminished.2-3. Normal use. In normal conditions air needs to be replaced once in two hours (see theprevious page).4. Boosted operation. Cooking, bathing in the sauna or bathroom, drying clothes, using thetoilet, having guests or a similar situation may cause a need for higher than normalventilation.If there is a cooker hood independent of the ventilation system in the dwelling, it is notnecessary to raise the speed of Vallox 132 E during cooking.2.2.2. Cooker hood connected to ventilation unitOpen the boost flap when cooking and if necessary increase the power of the fans of Vallox132 E at the ventilation switch of the cooker hood. Keep the cooker hood flap closed at othertimes. Select speed as described in Section 2.2.1.NOTE! When the cooker hood flap is open, there is smaller ventilation in other rooms, such as the bathroom.2.2.3. YK control centreIt may be appropriate to use remote monitoring for public premises, in which case fan speedis selected at the YK control centre. The unit is started and stopped at the ON/OFF switch.1 to 3 speeds can be selected at the control centre, depending on the type of centre. It iscustomary to select minimum and maximum speeds, and one of them is chosen in accordancewith occupancy on the basis of the instructions given by automatic remote monitoring (controlwith week clock, for instance). For more detailed instructions on the remote monitoring controlcentre, see the documentation delivered with the control centre.The speed selector positions displayed in the tableagainst a darker background are factory preset values.If needed, an expert or electrician can change settingsand select speeds shown against a white backgroundinstead. Speed changes are always made by an expert,not the user himself. (Room height is 2.5 metres.)Speed selectorVALLOX 1993 A YK control centre2.1. Initial adjustmentThe ventilation system works properly when air flows in the rooms have been measured andadjusted with the valves in accordance with the planned values. After the initial adjustment, theposition of the ventilation valves must not be changed, with the exception of the outlet valve with aknob located on the ceiling of a sauna, which can be adjusted if needed. The initial adjustmentensures that a sufficient amount of air is circulated and that extract air flow is always greaterthan supply air flow, i.e. the dwelling is negatively pressured compared to outdoor air. Ifthe dwelling is positively pressured, air in the dwelling penetrates the outer envelope of thebuilding and between windows, which may cause humidity damage during the heatingseason.In normal conditions basic ventilation, with a change of air every two hours, is sufficient inliving areas. Boosting is needed during for example sauna baths, cooking, clothes washingor family parties.If the user does not know the measured air flows, the adjacent table shows approximateextract air flows as well as the total electricity consumption of the fans at various fan speeds.The table also shows the fan speed that is sufficient for recommended basic ventilation indwellings of different sizes.4INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE© VALLOX • We reserve the right to make changes without prior notificationSPEEDLiving area (m2)Air flow (l/s)Total electricity consumption of fans (W)55204011003560140509021756212521575160324585200275972354314110305
