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 equip-
ment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air handler, operating 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 Recovery or Energy Recovery Ventilators by using the balancing procedure found in this manual.
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 operation, lack of operation or partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper function-
ing 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".

Introducing the NEW Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV). As with previous designs, incoming fresh outdoor air is filtered before it is heated by the stale outgoing air through a aluminum heat recovery core. The HRV then distributes the preheated fresh filtered air throughout the home by direct ductwork installed specifically for the HRV or through the ductwork of a forced-air system. - Page 4 HRV-150D & HRV-200D Dimensions Model HRV-150D HRV-200D Fan Performance Airflow (L/s) SHR(D) 1505R SHR(D) 1505R Airflow (cfm) Airflow Fresh Air From Outside Stale Air To Outside port for recirculation defrost type models only " (56mm) " (596mm) " (56mm) " (707mm) HRV-200D SHR(D) 2005R HRV-150D...

Page 9: Operation
OPERATION A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is designed to bring fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air. During the winter months, the incoming cold fresh air is warmed by utilizing the heat recovered from the stale air before it is exhausted to the outdoors. During summer months when the indoor space is air conditioned, the HRV will help in cooling the incoming fresh air with the stale air that is being exhausted. -

OPERATION (CONT'D) OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS PRACTICAL TIPS To avoid window condensation: • It is not necessary to change the humidity control every day. Monitor the average weekly temperature or experiment with various settings until you find a level that is comfortable for you. -

Always try to keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. See Installation Diagrams for installation examples. INSTALLING THE DUCTING PRACTICAL TO THE WEATHERHOODS... -
Page 14: Installing Ducts To / From Inside
INSTALLING DUCTS TO / FROM INSIDE To maximize airflow in the ductwork system, all ducts should be kept short and have as few bends or elbows as possible. Forty-five degree are preferred to 90º elbows. Use “Y” tees instead of 90º elbows whenever possible. All duct joints must be fastened with screws or duct sealant and wrapped with a quality duct tape to prevent leakage. - Page 15 INSTALLING DUCTS TO / FROM INSIDE Exhaust Air Ducting The stale air exhaust system is used to draw air from the points in the house where the worst air quality problems occur. It is rec- ommended that return air ducts be installed in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Additional return air ducts from strategic locations (i.e.

Page 16: Examples
INSTALLATION EXAMPLES It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all ductwork is sized and installed as designed to ensure the system will perform as intended. All air movement devices have a performance curve. The amount of air (CFM) that an HRV/ERV will deliver is directly related to the total external static pressure (E.S.P.) of the system. - Page 17 INSTALLATION EXAMPLES Example diagram only-duct configuration may change depending on model DIRECT CONNECTION of the SUPPLY AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN (Stale air drawn from key areas of home) Partially Dedicated System Stale air drawn from key areas of home (bathroom, kitchen, laundry) Fresh air supplied to main living areas via the forced air system.

AIR FLOW BALANCING CAUTION • If the unit’s airflows are not properly balanced... - The unit may not operate at it’s maximum efficiency. - Heat recovery core damage may occur. - The unit’s use could cause negative or positive pressure in your home causing cold air to enter or other combustible equipment to backdraft. - The unit may not defrost properly. - Page 21 AIR FLOW BALANCING AIRFLOW STATION (GRID) METHOD 1 For this flow measuring station, cut the duct and place the flow measuring station between each station. Make sure that the flow measuring station’s air direction arrow points in the direction of the airflow.
