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 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 Recovery
Ventilator (HRV) Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) 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
(ie. 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 functioning of vented combus-
tion equipment!!!

Page 3: Erv Questions & Answers
ERV Questions and Answers What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV? The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) trans- fers heat from one air stream to the other. This is called sensible heat. The term ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) is usually used to describe a unit with an enthalpic core that transfers moisture as well as heat from one air stream to the other. -

ControlAir 15 Optional Remote Controls Optional Main Controls The amount of ventilation required in your home will fluctuate according to the activity level in the house. Higher activity levels require more ventilation. Main controls can be mounted in a central location of the home (i.e. beside the furnace thermostat) which will provide the user with com- plete control over their ventilation system from a convenient location. -
Page 20: Using The Dehumidistat
Using the Dehumidistat Some models have a built-in dehumidistat (an optional remote wall mount dehumidistat can be installed, see Optional Remote Controls), to control harmful, excess humidity during the heating season. The dehumidis- tat operates in % of RH (relative humidity) with 80 being high and 20 being low. -

Page 22: Installation
Installation Location The HRV/ERV must be located in a heated space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the HRV/ERV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. If a base- ment area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility or laundry room may be used. -

Page 31: Maintenance Routine For Hrv
Maintenance Routine for HRV (for ERV, see following page) 1. Inspect Exterior Hoods at least once a month. Make sure exhaust and fresh air supply hoods are not blocked or restricted by leaves, grass, or snow. In win- ter, it is especially important to make sure snow is not blocking the hoods or that frost has not built up on the wire mesh (bird screen). -
