The provided context does not mention a timer switch specifically for the Lifebreath 700ERV model or whether it can be replaced with an on/off switch. However, it does state that the unit can be wired to an on/off switch using a terminal strip. Based on this, it may be possible to replace a timer switch with an on/off switch, but there is no explicit confirmation in the context.

Location of the ERV for Mounting The ERV must be located in a heated space where the A minimum clearance of 30 inches (76 cm) in front of the surrounding air temperature does not fall below 60°F ERV is recommended to service the heat exchanger cores (16°C).
The Ductwork System A properly designed ducting system will allow the ERV to ducting one size larger than the metal equivalent. Use operate at its maximum efficiency. (Air flow will be flexible duct connectors at the ERV to avoid noise restricted by undersized ducting, use of too many elbows, transmission.
Stale Air Return System The stale air return system is used to draw air from the Many commercial activities produce air contaminants in the points in the building where the worst air quality problems form of dusts, fumes, mists, vapors and gases. occur.
The Integrated HVAC System The ERV has become an integral component of the HVAC In installations where it is satisfactory to provide general system. Figure A shows an ERV unit providing fresh air exhaust from the space, the air to be exhausted may be taken directly to the return air plenum of a rooftop heat/cool unit.

A continuous light indicates the humidity level is lower than the setting.
Optional Dehumidistat - Part #99-DH-01 Key Features • The Dehumidistat measures the indoor humidity level and will Instruction card initiate high speed ventilation when the moisture level in the building exceeds the set point on the control. • Once the humidity in the building is reduced, the ERV will revert back to its previous setting.
Interlocking the ERV to an Air handler/Furnace Blower Connecting the ERV as illustrated will ensure the Air CAUTION Handler/Furnace Blower Motor is operating whenever the ERV is ventilating.

Balancing the ERV Pitot Tube Airflow Balancing It is necessary to have balanced air flows in an ERV. The volume of any elbows or bends, and one foot upstream of any elbows or air brought in from the outside must equal the volume of air bends.
Service and Maintenance Servicing your ERV on a regular schedule will result in ERV Core optimum operating efficiencies and prolonged life of the equipment. Remove core and vacuum or use low pressurized air to clean core. Do not wash or submerse in water. Due to numerous applications in which this equipment can With the core in its proper position, place the bottom corner be installed, it is difficult to predict servicing intervals.
