Installation Locating the Exhaust Weatherhoods The Exhaust Weatherhood should be located as fol- lows: * At least 4-6' from the supply inlet. * At least 18" above grade or expected snow accu- mulation. * At least 3' from gas meters, combustion vents, or dryer vents. - Page 8 Installation Pitot Tube Air Flow Balancing It is necessary to have balanced air flows in an HRV. The volume of air brought in from the outside must equal the volume of air exhausted by the unit. If the air flows are not properly balanced then: * The HRV may not operate at its maximum efficiency * A negative or positive air pressure may occur in the house...
- Page 9 Installation For general balancing it is sufficient to move the Pitot tube around in the duct and take an average or typical reading. Repeat this procedure in the other (supply or return) duct. (Fig. B.). Determine which duct has the highest airflow (highest reading on the gauge).

Page 13: Operation
Operation Heating/Cooling When the room thermostat calls for heat, the furnace blower switches on to heating speed and will start circu- lating air across the coil, which picks up heat and delivers it to the rest of your home. Once the thermostat's temperature is reached the ele- ments will shut off, and the blower will return to its pre-set speed or off. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Lack of heat 1. Check that the room thermostat is set to the desired temperature. 2. Ensure there is power to the unit. 3. Verify that the airflow in and out of the system matches designed specs. If airflow is low, check for blockage in the filter or some other obstruction. -
