VALLOX DIGIT2 SE/VKL/MLV

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION/MLV MODEL

Control of operation

Power supply to the unit can be controlled with a contactor in the
distribution panel if needed, e.g. with a timer programme. After
starting, the unit first operates at minimum power. After that power is
adjusted based either on the measurement data from air quality sensors
and/or on manual control at the control panel.

Fan speed adjustment

Manual control

Fan speed of the ventilation unit is controlled in 8 steps at control
panel

Week-clock control

Fan speed of the ventilation unit is controlled in 8 steps using the week
clock in control panel

. The week clock can be used to programme

the desired fan power option and the setpoint for supply air temperature
for each day of the week and each hour in the day.

Carbon dioxide and humidity control

The fan capacity of the ventilation unit is controlled in multiple steps
depending on loads, and based on the measurement results of the air
quality sensors (CO

and %RH sensors) located in the ventilation zone.

The aim is to keep carbon dioxide and/or humidity content below
the threshold set at control panel

. It is also possible to select an

automatic search for the humidity content setpoint at control panel

One or more modes of control may be used simultaneously – the mode
demanding boosting is the dominant one. Fan speed varies depending
on load between the base and maximum fan speeds. The base and
maximum fan speeds can be set at the desired level at control panel

Control through voltage or current signal

The fan power of the ventilation unit is controlled in 8 steps with a
voltage signal of 0...10 VDC, or with a current signal of 0...20 mA.
However, fan power cannot be raised above the set maximum fan
speed. Voltage or current signal control is used to control base fan
speed. This means that fan speed can be raised when necessary, but
not lowered, by the manual, CO

and %RH controls.

Supply air temperature

Supply air temperature can be controlled with either constant temperature
control or cascade control.

Supply air constant temperature control

The control unit directs the operation of post-heating unit

LP2

on the

basis of the measurement data given by temperature sensor

TE2

, aiming

at keeping supply air temperature at the temperature value set on
control panel

(+10…+30 ºC). The cooling function of the MLV radiator

starts when the post-heating radiator has been switched off and supply
air temperature exceeds the setpoint for supply air.

Supply air cascade control

The control unit directs the operation of post-heating unit

LP2

on the

basis of the measurement data given by extract air sensor

TE4

, aiming

at keeping extract air temperature at the temperature value set on
control panel

(+10…+30ºC).

Heat recovery bypass

Heat recovery is enabled whenever post-heating has been switched
on. Automatic heat recovery bypass is active whenever post-heating
has been switched off and outdoor temperature exceeds the setpoint
(to be set at 0...+25

C). In this case, the control unit directs the

operation of damper motor

on the basis of measurement results

given by outdoor temperature sensor

TE3

and extract air temperature

sensor

TE4

. The aim is to get as cool supply air to the ventilation zone

as possible. Heat recovery is, however, on whenever outdoor temperature
is below the limit set, or whenever outdoor air is warmer than extract
air.

Heat recovery antifreeze

Controlling preheating in a liquid-circulating

MLV

radiator is different

from that in an electric preheating radiator. The liquid radiator switches
on based on the measurement data from outdoor air temperature
sensor

TE3

. The control centre of the unit starts the pump and opens

the solenoid valve when post-heating is on and outdoor air temperature
goes below the setpoint for preheating. The setpoint must be lower
than the temperature of the liquid coming from the ground collector.
If the capacity of preheating unit

LP1

is not sufficient, the control centre

keeps stopping supply air fan

on the basis of the measurement data

on temperature sensors

TE1

and

TE3

, thus preventing the heat recovery

cell from freezing. As soon as the risk passes, the fan restarts automa-
tically. The threshold temperature (-6...+15

C) and the difference area

(1 ...10

C) for antifreeze can be set at control panel

Water radiator freezing protection

Based on the measurement data in outdoor temperature sensor

TE3

(outdoor air <0

C) and supply air temperature sensor

TE2

(supply air

C) the control centre of the unit stops fans

and

. Moreover,

valve

remains open and self-actuated dampers

of the fans close.

This decreases the freezing risk in the water circulating heating unit

LP2

. A freezing alert appears in the display of the control panel. The

fans restart automatically and dampers

open as soon as the risk of

freezing passes (supply air > 10

C).

Alarms

Pressure difference switches

PDE1

and

PDE2

monitor the pressure

difference on the supply and extract air sides. If the pressure difference
rises too high because of dirty filters or clogged ducts, an alarm will
be issued. This is indicated by a symbol ( ) in the main display of the
control panel. If the unit is not equipped with pressure difference
switches, the symbol ( ) appearing in the main display of the control
panel reminds of the need of servicing the unit. The reminder interval
can be set at 1...15 months. The factory setting is 4 months. This
function is always active. The fault signal relay in the unit gives potential-
free alarm indications on the following fault conditions:
• When the antifreeze function of the water-circulating radiator is on,

the contacts of the relay close and open at a 10-second interval.

• Alarm of high carbon dioxide content (> 5000 ppm) switches the

relay at 1-second intervals.

• In other fault situations, such as sensor faults, the contacts of the

relay close.

Booster or fireplace switch function

An extra switch

may be connected to the connection box of the

ventilation unit to work as a booster or fireplace switch. The mode of
operation of the switch is selected at control panel

. The booster

switch function raises fan speed to the set maximum speed for 45
minutes. The fireplace switch stops the extract air fan for 15 minutes
and produces overpressure in the ventilation zone. LON remote
monitoring control can be implemented with a VALLOX LON converter.
