1. BEFORE STARTING

.1 INSPECT THE CONTENTS OF THE BOXES

WARNING

To avoid risk of suffocation, discard the plastic bag wrapping the unit.

• Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage. Ensure that there is no damage to the door, door latches, main switch, etc.

CAUTION

Remove the cardboard strip inside the unit (if applicable).

• Inspect the interior of the unit for damage. Ensure that blower assembly, heat

recovery core (HEPA 3000 et HF 3.0), energy recovery core (HEPA 4000), insulation, dampers (HEPA 2000, HF 2.0, HEPA 3000, HF 3.0 and HEPA 4000), prefilter, HEPA filter, etc. are all intact.

2. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

Installations may vary according to the model number and the position in which the unit is installed. Use the following illustrations as guidelines to help you decide on how your unit will be installed.

All the units should be hung to the joist, and installed either vertically or horizontally. NOTE: For more details, see Point 5.3 in Section 5 INSTALL THE UNIT.

In every case, bathroom fans and a range hood should be used to exhaust stale air. Also, for homes with more than one level, we recommend one exhaust register at the highest level.

There are 3 installation methods: Stand Alone, Central Draw Point and Return-toReturn Installation.

NOTE: An electrical outlet has to be available within 3 feet from the unit.

2. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS (CONT’D)

2.1 HEPA 1000 AND HF 1.0 UNIT INSTALLATIONS

2.1.1 STAND ALONE (Primarily for homes with radiant hot water or electric baseboard heating.)

Stale air is drawn to the unit by the register located at the highest level of the house. Filtered air is supplied by the register located at the lowest level. See figure below.

2.1 HEPA 1000 AND HF 1.0 UNIT INSTALLATIONS (CONT’D)

2.1.2 CENTRAL DRAW POINT (CONNECTION TO FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

Stale air is drawn to the unit by the register located at the highest level of the house. Filtered air is supplied to the retur For this type of installation, it is not essential that the forced air system blower runs when the unit is in operation, but we recommend it. See figure below.

NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have 1 unit on each system.

n (plenum) of the forced air unit.

CAUTION

Do not connect the unit (HEPA 1000 or HF 1.0) on any forced air system supply duct. Connect it only to the air return duct. Do not install duct or duct connector directly above the forced air unit or not less than 2’ (0.61 m) of the plenum connection to the forced air unit, as measured along the length of the duct.

2.1.3 RETURN-RETURN INSTALLATION (CONNECTION TO A FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

Filtered air and stale air flow through the forced air system ducts which simplifies the installation. Filtered air is supplied to the return (plenum) of the forced air unit. To avoid cross-contamination and achieve highest efficiencies, the f blower must always be ON (or the unit efficiency will be affected). See figure below.

NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have 1 unit on each system.

2.2.2 HEPA 4000 ATTIC INSTALLATION

All 3 types of installation can be used in the attic (Stand Alone, Central Draw Point or Return-Return). The example shown below is a Return-Return installation (connection to a forced air system).

CAUTION

Due to the potential temperature difference between the attic and the rest of the house, all unit ducts must be insulated.

CAUTION

The attic temperature must always be above 0°C (32°F).

A portion of stale air is exhausted to the outside and the rest is drawn to the unit. Outside fresh air is blended with interior air and then filtered. This filtered air is supplied to the retur

CAUTION

Do not connect the HEPA 4000 on any forced air system supply duct. Connect it only to the air return duct. Do not install duct or duct connector directly above the forced air unit or not less than 9’10’’ (3 m) of the plenum connection to the forced air unit, as measured along the length of the duct.
