OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating instructions VALLOX 096 SE
For indoor air to stay healthy and benefi cial also for the structures of
the dwelling, ventilation has to be in operation continuously. It is not
advisable to stop ventilation even for longer holidays because it makes
indoor air stuffy. Also, during the heating season indoor air humidity
may condense in the ducts and structures and therefore cause humidity
damage. The sensors automatically adjust ventilation to an optimal
level even if the dwelling is empty.
Making the unit ready for operation
1. Connect the plug to the mains supply. VALLOX 096 SE is now
ready for operation.
2. Start the unit and choose a suitable ventilation power at the
control panel. There is either one or more control panels. See the
operating instructions for control panel.
In normal conditions basic ventilation, with a change of air every
two hours, is suffi cient in living areas. Boosting is needed during for
example sauna baths, cooking, clothes washing or family parties. If
carbon dioxide and/or humidity sensors have been installed in the
system, VALLOX 096 SE automatically takes care of demand-controlled
ventilation.
Ventilation control
The unit can be controlled with a control panel. The standard week-
clock control can be used to control the fan power of the unit and the
setpoint for supply air temperature.
Furthermore, demand-controlled ventilation can be adjusted with
optional carbon dioxide and humidity sensors.
The fan power of the unit can also be controlled with a voltage signal.
Controlling ventilation with Vallox Digit SED
control panel
The control panel can be used for the following
ventilation control functions:
Functions for adjusting ventilation
power
• Starting and stopping.
• Power adjustment (8 positions).
• Setting the base fan speed and the
maximum fan speed.
Ventilation power cannot be set lower than the
base fan speed. When carbon dioxide and/
or relative humidity adjustments are activated,
power cannot be adjusted higher than the maximum fan speed. When
humidity and carbon dioxide adjustments have been switched off, fan
speed can be raised to speed 8. (See the operating instructions for
control panel, Section 3.25.)
Ventilation control with carbon dioxide sensor
(option)
• In carbon dioxide control, VALLOX 096 SE adjusts fan speed so
as to keep carbon dioxide content in the ventilation zone below
the setpoint. When two or more sensors are used, fan speed is
adjusted according to the highest measuring result.
• 1 to 2 carbon dioxide sensors can be connected as options to
the VALLOX 096 SE unit.
• The adjustment is switched on/off and, if needed, the setpoint
(500...2000 ppm) is set at the control panel. The factory setting
is 900 ppm. The recommended maximum carbon dioxide
content in good indoor air is circa 1,000 ppm.
• During control, the control panel can be used to raise fan speed
to the maximum fan speed and to decrease it to the base fan
speed. In carbon dioxide control, maximum fan speed limitation
is enabled.
Controlling ventilation with humidity sensor (option)
There are two modes of adjusting fan speed:
1 Automatic humidity setting, which is suitable for controlling
humidity in for example washing rooms.
The program records current humidity level and selects it as
the setpoint, which it then uses as the target for drying air in a
bathroom, for instance after a shower. The setpoint automatically
varies for instance according to season and is always at the right
level. This setting is factory selected.
2 Humidity level can also be set fi xed. The setting can range
between 1...99 %RH and is set at the control panel. This can
be used in for example public saunas and swimming pools. The
program aims at keeping humidity at the setpoint. The setpoint
can be changed if needed. The mode of adjustment is chosen at
the controller. Recommended humidity content of good indoor air
is approximately 45%.
• During this control, the control panel can be used to raise fan
speed to the maximum fan speed and to decrease it to the base
fan speed.
• In humidity control, fan speed varies between the base and
maximum fan speeds selected.
• When the unit is fi rst taken into use with automatic setpoint search
enabled (factory setting), it takes 3 to 10 hours for the program
to defi ne the value. During this time, humidity adjustment is not
enabled (because the fi rst value, selected at the factory, is 100%).
• Automatic search is enabled even if humidity control is not
selected.
Controlling ventilation with voltage signal
• VALLOX 096 SE fan power can be controlled with a voltage
signal coming from remote monitoring.
• The signal can be used to select speeds 0 to 8. However, if
carbon dioxide or humidity adjustment is enabled, the maximum
fan speed cannot be exceeded. (See the operating instructions for
control panel, Section 3.25.)
• The signal changes the base fan speed.
• The signal does not lock fan speed, i.e. fan speed can be
changed at the control panel within the set limits. Carbon dioxide
and humidity adjustment also operate within the set limits.
