CAUTION
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to
how the system will operate if connected to any other piece
of mechanical equipment, 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/Energy
Recovery Ventilator (HRV/ERV), by using the balancing
procedure in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any
HRV/ERV may interact with vented combustion equipment
(ie. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).
NEVER install an HRV/ERV in a situation where its normal
operation, lack of operation or partial failure may result
in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented
combustion equipment!!!
