NEVER attempt to repair or service any internal component of this H/ERV while the unit is plugged in or running. DO NOT use your ventilation system to exhaust flammable fumes or gasses. ALWAYS contact your Nu-Air representative if you have any questions or comments about the operation or maintenance of your Nu-Air H/ERV—we are here to help you!
1. SYSTEM FUCTION/OPERATING TIPS A. Powerful, centrifugal blowers bring fresh air into your home while an equal amount of stale, humid air is exhausted to the outside. This is NU-AIR’s balanced central ventilation system. B. Incoming fresh air is filtered before flowing through the heat exchange core.
▪ Removable terminal blocks for timers, remote controls, furnace interlock. A 4-wire terminal block for Nu-Air 12 VDC controls and a 10-wire terminal block for 24 V controls are provided with the unit.
Installation System Options Before installing your H/ERV, please read these instructions for correct installation. The Nu-Air H/ERV is a self-contained system that is ready to be installed. There are three commonly used and approved methods of installation. 2.3.1. The Fully Ducted System This system uses an independent duct system for supply and exhaust air.
INSTALLATION NOTES: 1) When selecting an installation option, consideration should be given to the increased electrical consumption of the furnace fan. The way that your Heat/Energy-recovery ventilator is installed may make a significant difference to the electrical energy that you will use. To minimize the electricity use of the Heat/Energy-recovery ventilator, a stand-alone fully ducted installation is recommended.
For maximum efficiency, the H/ERV should be installed in a heated area. The H/ERV is designed to be hung from the ceiling by way of the anti-vibration straps supplied. Avoid hanging the H/ERV directly below a bedroom or other quiet area. Your unit comes with Nu-Air EZ-Level adjustable hanging straps for easy mounting and leveling.

2.5.1. SE182E: Orienting the Unit, Mounting the Safety/Door Switch The SE182E has 2 doors and two cut-outs to accept the safety/door switch so that the unit can be oriented in the desired direction very quickly. Locate the black-sheathed, red spade-connector wires for: A. the power cord, and B. circuit board Line voltage.
2.5.2. Connecting To Other Equipment - Residential Applications Interconnection with a forced air furnace duct system is permissible; however, your H/ERV is not intended to be connected to any other equipment or appliances. Ductwork An engineer or other qualified person should design the duct system. •...
Balanced air flow between the supply and exhaust air streams is essential to the performance of an H/ERV. With the SE Series, changing motor speeds or balancing is quick and simple with two buttons recessed slightly into the unit’s cabinet—see next section. NO BALANCING DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED.
2.8.1. Adjusting Fan Speed for Balancing and Capacity Requirements For high-speed adjustment/balancing, initiate high speed (e.g. R-Hi jumper wire, or use remote control), then: 1. Press and hold either the FRESH air or EXHAUST air pushbuttons (not both) for 3 Seconds to initiate SPEED ADJUST MODE.
