WARNING
The unit is not intended
for use by children
under 8 or by persons
with reduced sensory,
physical or mental
capabilities, or whose
lack of knowledge
and experience do not
ensure safe operation
of the unit.
Such persons can
use the unit under
supervision, or
by following the
instructions of someone
who is responsible for
their safety.
Children must be
supervised and not be
allowed to play with the
device.
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. Retain 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 be carried out only by qualified experts.
Electrical installations and connections must be carried out only by an
electrician and in compliance with local regulations.
GUARANTEE
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 Vallox 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.
DISPOSAL OF THE VENTILATION UNIT
Do not dispose of electronic devices with household waste. Follow
local laws and regulations on safe and ecological disposal of the
product.

INTRODUCTION
VENTILATION UNIT CONTROL
Ventilation unit control options.
Operation of the Vallox ventilation unit can be controlled by the
following means:
• Through the My Vallox Control panel installed in the building.
• Through the MyVallox Home local area network connection
and the MyVallox Home/Cloud user interface.
• Through the MyVallox Cloud service and the MyVallox Home/
Cloud user interface.
• Through a remote monitoring service or building automation
that uses voltage signals or Modbus messages.
In addition to the integrated humidity and carbon dioxide sensor,
ventilation can also be adjusted automatically by using the
optional carbon dioxide, humidity, or VOC (air quality) sensor.
When these are used, ventilation remains optimal even when
the dwelling is unoccupied. Each user can use the week clock to
adjust the ventilation to fit their individual lifestyle.
Connecting the ventilation unit to the cloud
service
The ventilation unit can be connected to the MyVallox Cloud
service. The cloud service allows for controlling ventilation
remotely also, using e.g. a smartphone or tablet. Also the unit
software is updated automatically through the cloud service.
To connect to the cloud service, the ventilation unit must be
connected to the Internet via LAN and registered with the cloud
service. At the same time you create a MyVallox Cloud account
for yourself. Read more about the service at www.myvallox.com.
IMPORTANT
Apartment-specific
ventilation units allows
residents to adjust the
ventilation eciency.
Ventilation is controlled
based on the need e.g.
through the cooker
hood, ventilation
control panel, or a
separate control centre.
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.

Prolonged overpressure
can result in damage
to the structures of the

MOUNTING ON THE WALL
NOTE
Avoid mounting the unit on a hollow, echoing partition wall or
on a bedroom wall, or prevent the conduction of sound.
The minimum distance between the top of the unit and the
finished ceiling surface is 30 mm. Note that during mounting the
unit rises 10 mm higher than the final height.
Mount the ventilation unit on the wall with a mounting plate, as shown
in the adjacent figure. Make sure that the unit is horizontally level after
mounting.
MOUNTING ON THE CEILING
Vallox 101 MV can be equipped with an optional ceiling mount plate.
To attach the ceiling mounting plate:
• On rafter frames or other frame structure with M8 thread bars so
that they withstand the weight of the unit.
• Ensure that the installation plate is horizontally level, as this
determines the position of the unit.
• The top edge of the white covering strip of the ceiling mounting
plate can be installed against the ceiling. Alternatively, a concealed
mounting method can be used, in which case the ceiling can be
30 mm below the top of the white covering strip.
Insulate the ducts against condensation also between the unit and the
ceiling mounting plate.
Mounting the ceiling mounting plate
1. Fasten the thread bars on the rafter frames or other frame
structure, and screw the nuts (E) onto the bars.
2. Lift the ceiling mounting plate in place.
3. Push a rubber damper (F) and a washer (G) to each thread bar.
4. Adjust the nuts so that the ceiling mounting plate is level.
5. Shorten the lower ends of the thread bars so that they are no more
than 5 mm below the nuts.
CAUTION
The ventilation unit is very heavy. Do not perform this
procedure alone.

NOTE
When installing the unit,
reserve a space of at
least 555 mm in front
of the unit for servicing
purposes.

INSTALLATION
Installing the ventilation unit to the ceiling
mounting plate
1. Install the ceiling mounting plate with M8 thread bars so
that it is horizontally level.
NOTE
The end of the thread bars must be 5 mm or less below
the fastening nut. Do not fasten the ceiling mounting
plate too tight to the ceiling. Ensure that the sliding bars
move and restore to their original position by pulling
from the operating levers (A).
The top edge of the white covering strip of the ceiling
mounting plate can be installed against the ceiling.
Alternatively, a concealed mounting method can be used,
in which case the ceiling can be 30 mm below the top of
the white covering strip.
2. Ensure that the insulation washers are in the outlet collars
below the ceiling mounting plate.
3. Remove the door before installing the ventilation unit to the
ceiling mounting plate.
4. Lift the ventilation unit close to the ceiling mounting plate
and feed the cables and the connection box through the
hole in the ceiling mounting plate on top of the ceiling.
NOTE
Remember to make a service door in the ceiling so that
the cables and the connection box can be accessed.
The distance between the service door and the ceiling
mounting plate must be around 500 mm.
Alternatively, the cables can be fed between the ceiling
mounting plate and the ventilation unit to the rear wall.
When the ventilation unit is lifted against the ceiling
mounting plate, the unit locks in place. Where needed,
guide the mounting hooks on the ceiling mounting plate
(B) to the grooves on the side panels of the ventilation unit.
There are operating levers (A) on the front bottom corners
of the ceiling mounting plate. When the levers have been
restored to the same level with the white covering strip
of the ceiling mounting plate, the unit has been locked in
place.
5. Where required, the unit can be detached from the ceiling
mounting plate. Remove the door of the unit. Lift the
unit slightly upwards and pull simultaneously from both
operating levers (A) of the ceiling mounting plate to detach
the unit from the ceiling mounting plate.
Attic floor penetration plate
The attic floor penetration plate (D) is optional. When an attic
floor penetration plate is used, the tightness of the vapour
barrier has to be ensured.
The attic floor penetration plate can be fastened on the
finished rear wall. The minimum distance of the attic floor
penetration plate from the finished side walls is 15 mm.
