-FILTER REPLACEMENT GUIDE
The Velco VS-100 lter is made of high-quality Filtrete™ material developed by 3M. The Filtrete™ material uses exclusive
3-in-1 technology to pull in and trap unwanted particles, allowing cleaner air to ow through. Filtrete™ lters have an electrostatic
charge that acts like a magnet to attract and capture microscopic allergens.
ALWAYS USE THE VELCO ORIGINAL FILTER TO ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
1. Take a grip from the valve body
under the plate and carefully pull the
valve out. Remove the dirty filter.
2. Ensure that the O-sealing
ring is in the position
indicated in the image.
3. Turn the filter inside out so
that its seams are on the inside.
4. Thread the filter over the frame.
Pull the filter over the sealing ring
up to the valve body.
5. Push the excess filter fabric
remaining above the valve into the
gaps between the frame wires.
6. Place the valve back into position.
Rotate the valve within the passage
pipe to ensure a proper seal.
-VALVE ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. The plate is in the factory default
setting when you hear a click while
turning it.
2. When the plate clicks, turn
the plate at least half a turn
counterclockwise to open it.
3. After turning the plate half a turn,
the valve will not close as the
temperature decreases but will
remain slightly open by
approximately 2mm.
In Velco valves, there is a self-contained thermostat that adjusts the valve opening according to the outdoor temperature. Upon delivery, the
valve is in the factory default setting. In the factory default setting, the valve disc is fully open at an outdoor temperature of +10 °C and closes
as the temperature drops to -5 °C. To ensure continuous ventilation, adjust the plate during installation to prevent it from fully closing when
the temperature falls below -5 °C.
NOTE: The minimum valve opening can be adjusted as needed.
For instance, in a building without mechanical exhaust
ventilation, it is recommended to turn the valve disc one full
rotation counterclockwise from the click position.
