IMPORTANT -
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. a forced air furnace or air handler, oper-
ating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two
pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow's of
the Heat / Energy Recovery Ventilators.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV/ERV
may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces,
Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).
NEVER
- install a ventilator in a situation where its normal opera-
tion, lack of operation or partial failure may result in the backdrafting
or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment!!!
ERV-WI 500
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
