Installation Manual
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT
CAUTION -
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system
will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. air handler, operat-
ing at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment
should be confirmed by measuring the airflow of the Energy Recovery Ventilator.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any ERV may interact with vented com-
bustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).
NEVER -
install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack of operation or par-
tial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment!!!
Your ventilation system should be installed in conformance with the appropriate provincial or state requirements
or in the absence of such requirements with the current edition of the National Building Code, and / or
ASHRAE's " Good Engineering Practices".
