  • Page 8: Defrost Overview

    27°F (−3°C). Fan Defrost Applicable Units: ASSURE-120S-S1, SYNC-110SE-S1, and SYNC-180SCE-S1 During defrost the supply fan shuts off while the exhaust fan continues to operate. This allows the heat from the exhaust air to defrost the unit’s core. During the defrost portion of the cycle, the unit operates with only exhaust ventilation. After the defrost portion of the cycle, the supply fan powers on and operates with balanced ventilation.
  • Page 9: Required Ventilation

    Required Ventilation ASHRAE • ASHRAE 62.2-2019 is a national standard that provides methods for achieving acceptable indoor air quality in typical residences. It was developed and is maintained by the American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). • This standard recommends Dwelling-Unit Ventilation, which is a mechanical exhaust system, supply system, or combination thereof.
  • Page 10: How The Dehumidistat Works

    How the Dehumidistat Works When using either the Two-Speed Switch with Humidity Sensor (435245) or the PrecisionSYNC Control (435244) a built-in dehumidistat is present. The following information is provided on how it works. High indoor humidity levels, during the heating season, have become a problem in many well insulated, tight homes. Excessive condensation on the windows is a visual sign of high indoor humidity levels.
  • Page 11: Two-Speed Switch With Intermittent Mode (435246)

    Two-Speed Switch with Intermittent Mode (435246) The control offers the following features to control your home’s ventilation. 20 / 40 Mode Indicator Light • Two-speed fan setting (LOW / HIGH) Fan Speed On / OFF • Standby setting (fan OFF) Indicator Light •...
  • Page 12: Precisionsync Control (435244)

    PrecisionSYNC Control (435244) The control offers the most advanced features to control your home’s ventilation. • Five-speed fan setting • Standby setting (fan speed 0) • Electronic dehumidistat • 20/40/60 HIGH speed override button • Compatible with Wireless Timer • Easy to read back-lit LCD screen •...
  • Page 13: 20/40/60 Minute Timer (435247)

    20/40/60 Minute Timer (435247) Timers are available as wired or wireless. The timer will override the operational mode of the control (regardless of the setting) and initiate HIGH fan speed Ventilation for 20, 40 or 60 minutes. The ERV will return to the selected operational mode and fan speed setting upon completion of the timer cycle.
  • Page 14: Overview Of Installation Methods

    Overview of Installation Methods There are three methods of installation for the ERV: • Simplified installation - See “Installation Methods - Simplified (Return/Return)” on page 15. • Partially dedicated installation - See “Installation Methods - Partially Dedicated” on page 16. •...
  • Page 15: Installation Methods - Simplified (Return/Return)

    Installation Methods - Simplified (Return/Return) The simplified method draws stale air from the cold air return duct of the air handler/furnace and introduces an equal amount of fresh air farther downstream into the cold air return as illustrated in the following figures. Key Points The ERV unit must be balanced.
  • Page 16: Installation Methods - Partially Dedicated

    Installation Methods - Partially Dedicated The partially dedicated installation draws stale air from specific points in the house and introduces an equal amount of fresh air into the cold air return as illustrated in the following building figures. Key Points The ERV unit must be balanced.
  • Page 17: Installation Methods - Fully Dedicated

    Installation Methods - Fully Dedicated The fully dedicated installation draws stale air from specific points in the building and delivers fresh air to specific locations of the building. This system is not connected to an air handler/ furnace (see the following figures). KEY POINTS The ERV unit must be balanced.
  • Page 18: Unit Installation Location And Restrictions

    Unit Installation Location It is recommended that the ERV unit be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit: • Complexity of work to install, • Freezing conditions in the attic, • Difficulty of access for service and cleaning. Sufficient clearance in front/below (depending on model) of the access door is required for servicing the air filters and core.
  • Page 19: Mounting The Unit

    Install the unit to the mounting surface, using the mounting brackets provided. Note: The ASSURE-120S-S1 and SYNC-110SE-S1 can only be ceiling mounted. The SYNC 180SCE-S1 can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted.
  • Page 20: Installing Drain Plug (Optional)

    Installing Drain Plug (Optional) Applicable Unit: SYNC-270TCE-S1 The plugs are located in the ERV accessories bag. The plugs will be installed into the two holes located in the bottom tray of the ERV. They must be inserted from the inside of the unit to ensure the holes are fully sealed. Figure 24.

    Installation and Operation of 20/40/60 Minute Wireless Timer (435248) NOTE: Wireless timers can only be used with wall mounted Two-Speed Switch or PrecisionSYNC Control (435244). The wireless timers may be installed onto a flush mounted electrical switch BOX A Back Plate BOX B box or it may be surface mounted onto a wall.
  • Page 23: Installation And Pairing Of Wireless Repeater (435249)

    Installation and Operation of 20/40/60 Minute Wireless Timer (435248) (cont’d.) Unpairing Remove the battery from the back of the wireless timer. Press and hold the button on the front of the 20/40/60 Minute Wireless Timer. While holding the button, reinsert the battery in the 20/40/60 Minute Wireless Timer. Continue holding the button until the LED under 40 begins flashing.
  • Page 24: Installation Of 20/40/60 Minute Timer (435247)

    Installation of 20/40/60 Minute Timer (435247) Installation Requirements The following installation requirements must be followed: • Timers mount in standard 2 x 4” (51 x 102 mm) electrical boxes. • If multiple timers are used, individually wire each timer to the unit. •...
  • Page 25: Electrical Connections

    Electrical Connections Plug the ERV directly into a standard designated 120 VAC electrical outlet. Use of an extension cord is NOT RECOMMENDED for this appliance. If further wiring is required, then a licensed electrician should make all electrical connections. It is recommended that a separate 15 A/120 V circuit be used.
