The unit has an automatic summer/winter function.• When temperature adjustment is between +10 and +30 °C. the heat recovery cell isnot bypassed. This means that the winter function is on.• In the OFF position the summer function is on. That means that post-heating is not activeand the unit bypasses the heat recovery cell when outdoor air temperature is more than+14 °C. The unit recovers heat when outdoor air temperature has gone down below+12 °C.• In the AUTO position the unit functions all year round as follows: The setpoint for post-heating is +17 °C. The unit bypasses the heat recovery cell when outdoor air tempe-rature is more than +14 °C. The unit recovers heat when outdoor air temperature hasgone down below + +12 °C. When bypass is on, post-heating is not active.Fireplace switch functionIt is possible to connect a timer-operated switch to the unit. The switch stops the extract air fanduring the time when the fireplace is heated. NOTE! The starting of the extract air fan mayweaken draught in the fireplace! In winter, this situation may disturb the winter function of theunit. The situation will normalise in a while, after the fireplace function stops.Winter function of ventilation unitA threshold value has been set at the factory for the freezing of the heat recovery cell. Whenthe threshold is exceeded, the ventilation unit starts to melt the heat recovery cell by guidingoutdoor air flow to bypass the heat recovery cell.A normal melting period takes from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the extent of ice onthe heat recovery cell and on the amount of extract air flow. The unit has been optimised tooperate on the factory settings in normal operation in dwellings and detached houses. Thewinter function parameters can be adjusted for extreme conditions, such as a swimming bath,but even then it is advisable to contact Vallox Maintenance.Adjustment of relationship between supply and extract airThis feature may be useful when adjusting air flows at the valves during mounting. After thevalves have been adjusted, a user does not need, and must not, touch the adjustment. Whenneeded, supply or extract air flow can be reduced at the potentiometer.When the potentiometer is approximately halfway, supply and extract air flow have not beenreduced. Turning the potentiometer anticlockwise reduces air flow on the supply side, andturning it clockwise reduces air flow on the extract side.Maintenance reminderThe unit reminds of the need for maintenance every six months if an indicator (not standard)has been connected to the connectors of the fault signal relay. The indicator then blinks atone-second intervals. The maintenance reminder is reset when the door of the ventilation unitis opened. See the maintenance instructions for information on the necessary maintenanceactivities.Four-step control switchFan speed adjustmentThe fan speed of a Vallox ventilation unit can be controlled with a control switch (option), witha separate cooker hood (option) or directly with a 0-10 V voltage signal.Speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be selected at the control switch.1. Operation during absence. When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can be reducedtemporarily.2–3. Normal operation. In normal operation, air has to be replaced once every two hours.4. Boosted operation. Cooking, taking a sauna bath, washing, drying clothes, using thetoilet, having guests or a corresponding situation may cause a need for higher ventila-tion than in normal operation.Cooker hood PTXPA-SC2 © VALLOX • We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice.This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lackof experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understandthe hazards involved.Children shall not play with the appliance.Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
