MODES OF OPERATION The switch on the side of the unit is used to toggle between STANDBY, LOW speed and MEDIUM speed modes. In order to activate HIGH speed, a jumper must be placed between the DEHUM + and DEHUM - contacts. 1.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS * All controls are low voltage. 18 to 24 PRACTICAL gauge wire is recommended. TIPS MDEH1 - The wall mount dehumidistat monitors the humidity level in the area 2 wire installation it is installed. When the humidity level rises above the desired set-point, the HRV will activate to high speed/override mode.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION MAKE SURE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK The following components should be inspected regularly and well maintained. Filters need to be checked regularly Filters The filters (2) need to be checked and cleaned every three months or when they appear dirty. Wash in warm sudsy water (mild detergent).

DETERMINING YOUR AIRFLOW REQUIREMENT Example for maximum airflow normally required. HRVs are typically sized to ventilate the whole house at a minimum of 0.35 air changes per hour. To calculate, simply take the square footage of the house (including basement) and multiply by the height of the ceiling to get the cubic volume.

HRV INSTALLATION LOCATION The HRV must be located in a heated space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the HRV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not PRACTICAL TIPS exist, a utility or laundry room may be used.
EXTERIOR DUCTING INSTALLATION WEATHERHOOD LOCATION • Decide where your intake and exhaust hoods will be located. Locating the Intake Weatherhood • Should be located upstream (if there are prevailing winds) from the exhaust outlet • At a minimum distance of 3m (10') away from dryer vents and furnace exhaust (medium or high efficiency furnaces), driveways, oil fill pipes, gas meters, or garbage containers •...
In homes without a forced air furnace, fresh air should be supplied to all habitable rooms including, bedrooms and living areas. It should be supplied from high wall or ceiling locations. Grilles that diffuse the air comfortably such as the Fantech metal grilles (MGE) or plas- tic grilles (CG) are recommended.

START UP PROCEDURE Every time the unit is plugged in, it will go through a 45 second self diagnostic. During this time, the fresh air fans will not turn on. The switch on the side of the unit is used to toggle between STANDBY, LOW speed and MEDIUM speed modes. In order to activate HIGH speed, a jumper must be placed between the DEHUM + and DEHUM - contacts.
AIRFLOW BALANCING (CONT'D) ADJUSTING AIRFLOWS A damper is integrated into the Fresh Air to Building collar. This damper replaces the installation of a separate damper into the Fresh Air to Building ducting line. The damper-collar is pre-set in the fully opened position. If the procedure requires a reduction in airflow to the fresh air duct, simply turn positioning knob located on the side of the collar clockwise until desired airflow is obtained.
